Guys, regardless of who the actual holder of the license to manufacture philips branded phones, the bottom line, to me at least,is that the current phones today are nothing compared the phones it manufactured prior to the xenium 960-the last true philips phone. the interface of the 9@9w that i still have is hauntingly close to an alcatel otc825, from the typeface, to the features (like the graphic equalizer)...leading me to believe that this, alcatel and all the other china made phones seem to come out from one single factory...
