CECT debuts A1000 cellphone with 1,000 hour standby

by Donald Melanson posted Jul 31st 2006 at 6:01PM

China's CECT recently dropped its A1000 handset onto the market -- in China, of course -- making a decent-enough looking smartphone all the more notable thanks to its purported 1,000 hours of standby time. The handset itself is dual-band only, with a 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 4 megapixel camera with flash, 32MB of built-in memory, and media player functionality with support for MP3, MPEG4, and 3GPP. In addition to the marathon standby time, the phone's 2000 mAh battery should also give you a full 20 hours of use with the brightness cranked to the max. Unfortunately, you'll have to live without Bluetooth if you wanna outlast everyone else.

2000 mAh? Niiiiiice. Now let's get that into the mainstream and it'll be like 1999 all over again. Going a week and a half without a charge FTW.
