Philips NRG cell phone: keeps going and going with AAA batteries

I definitely like the long-lasting Lithium Ion batteries in a cell phone, but with all of the proprietary charging inputs, I like this idea even more: Philips is developing a cell, the Xenium NRG, that also accepts AAA batteries to provide up to three hours of talk-time once the primary battery is drained. I don’t go anywhere with extra AA and AAA batteries in my gadget bag since I need them for digital cameras, Bluetooth keyboards and such. Personally, I’d have no problem carrying a few more for those times when I’ve wrangled the last bit o’ juice from my primary battery. Of course, if you’re looking for a thin phone, you’re stuck with the battery that comes with it.
