Willcom D4 Ver.L comes with extra longevous battery

Not quite sure what happened of late, but extra long lasting batteries are all the rage now. With netbook manufacturers offering up extended cells left and right, it's only fair that Sharp toss out a Willcom D4 with a super longevous battery, too. The Willcom D4 Ver.L (L stands for Long, loony) reportedly arrives with a lovely CE-BL58 extended battery as a standard accessory, and while the resource-demanding Office application isn't included, that helps keep the price at ¥97,700 ($901). A fair trade for the hardcore traveler, we suppose.

Will the battery last until Wednesday? After that I guess it doesn't really matter...

Hehe longevous,sounds like a male "enhancement drug" . Anyways this sounds cool hopefully more batteries like that can come out for other things like Sony psp, nintendo ds, iPhones etc etc

This is the design and specs all smartphones should adopt.

The title draws you in, then doesn't deliver. Battery life...well, what is it?!?

3 hours, 6 hours,..?
