Porsche P9522

Porsche Design returns with their latest offering in designer consumer electronics with the launch of their second mobile phone, the P’9522. The new design puts a minimalist twist on its predecessor, the P’9521, as clean lines and smooth surfaces make up the candy-bar handset this time around.

Carved from a solid block of aluminum, the phone comes with a 2.8-inch OLED touchscreen display covered with a single sheet of scratchproof mineral glass. A fingerprint reader, five-megapixel camera, MP3 player, WiFi capabilities and GPS complete the package, with room for a micro-SD card to expand capacity.

Functioning on quad-band GSM, this phone packs functionality and style into a simple and sleek package. Set to hit the stores in time for the festive season, the P’9522 will be available exclusively at selected Porsche Design boutiques,and some high-end retailers in Europe.

Coolness. That’s what comes to mind when you look at the new Navigon/Porsche Design’s Mobile Navigation P’9611 GPS device. This extremely sleek portable navigation device comes with a pre-installed SD memory card, USB cable, car holder and car charging cable. As is the norm, it comes with a built-in MP3 player. It also features Bluetooth, so you can pair up your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and use the P’9611 as a hands-free calling accessory in your car.

In addition, you can also call a selected point-of-interest destination if it has an associated phone number. The GPS device is powered by an Intel PXA270 520 MHz processor, 64 megs of RAM and an equal amount of ROM. It includes a u-blox Antaris 4 SuperSense 3rd gen GPS receiver, and features a 4.3 inch wide touchscreen display (at WQVGA resolution).

Measuring 125mm x 82 mm x 19mm, it weighs just 250 grams. No word on the pricing or availability yet.
