Porsche Design has released a sleek new Mobile Phone called the P'9521. As you might expect, the quad band phone features a 3.2 megapixel camera, video capture, mp3 recording and playback. Interestingly, the phone also has a fingerprint reader (to make it more likely you'll crash while driving?).
If anything, we've waited too long for Porsche Design to release this little phone. After all, the design firm has been creating everything from Porsche Design blenders to sunglasses for years. During that time, other exotic car manufacturers have already been launching mobile phones. As AutoBlog points out, "Ferrari's got Motorola, Lamborghini's got Nokia, Mercedes has Asus, and now Porsche Design [has] the P'9521."
The phone is expected in Europe later this year.
