The Porsche Design Group and Sagem Communication have launched the first Porsche Design Mobile Phone, the P9521.

The P9521 cell phone from Porsche combines sophisticated design with high-quality natural materials such as aluminum and mineral glass.
The casing is milled out of a solid aluminum block and a unique production method for mobile phones.

With this phone, Porsche Design has remained loyal to its clear design language and has utilized sophisticated material. The typography, styling and colors of the menu emphasize the mobile phone's very functional character.

A double hinge which is made from aluminum enables the screen to be rotated through 180 degrees thus allowing the phone to be used as a digital camera.
The P9521 features a fingerprint reader, which clearly identifies the user and ensures secure access to personal data. In addition, individual fingerprints can be assigned to particular numbers or phone functions, making operation particularly easy.The standard PIN code can also be replaced by a fingerprint.

Photo/video: The P9521 features an auto-focus video and still camera boasting 3.2-megapixel resolution, integrated flash and digital zoom. The rotating screen makes it even easier to use, whilst its AM-OLED technology ensures very high quality colors, exceptional brilliance and a perfect view from every angle.

Music: The P9521 boasts an MP3 player and three speakers for ringtones and voice playback in stereo quality sound.

Internet: Thanks to EDGE technology (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), the P9521 offers very high-speed internet access.
