Linux powered cell phone with 200+ hour battery life

Found this on slashdot. Thought you guys might find it interesting. I'm certainly interested. Anything that'll give me 200+ hours of battery life is huge selling point with me.

Quote:

"Motorola is showing off a Linux/Java phone with a claimed battery life of 200 hours on standby, or 200-250 minutes when talking. If those figures prove true, Linux sure is improving quickly on the power management front. That kind of battery life also suggests that the E895 might be the first single-chipset phone ever to run a complex OS, whether Symbian, Windows Mobile, or Linux. Other features are user-upgradable memory, 1.3MP camera, video capture, multimedia slideshows, and more. Hopefully a more U.S.-friendly version will follow, as happened when Mot's Linux-based quad-band A780 came out a year or so after it's tri-band forebear, the A768, shipped in China."

All the cool phones get released in China/Japan before we even hear about them

I almost bought a Japanese motorola phone with a 2.3mp videocamera. The only thing that held me back was that it didnt have a simslot so I couldnt unlock it, and I didnt want to hassle with translation/power issues.

200+ hrs standby, or talk time?

The specs for razr V3 is min 250 hrs standby and 360 minutes talk time.
