Porsche Design's new phone

There's some more cell phone design buzz on the wires, this time for Porsche Design's P'9522 phone. I'm not crazy about the thing--style-wise it seems like a throwback to the '80s, with some 2000s tech touches thrown in: It's milled from a single block of aluminum (where have we seen that before?) and has a 5MP camera with flash. The disappearing backlit numbers are a neat, if somewhat gimmicky, touch.

Interestingly enough, while most of us dislike getting fingerprints all over our shiny doodads, you'll need to get yours on this one; PD has substituted a fingerprint reader on the main screen, rather than a password, to unlock the phone.

I'm not sure what was the ironic comment about -where have we seen that before?- about the single milled out aluminum body. Hope it was about the first Porsche phone released almost two years ago.
