Porsche Design P'9521 Specifications

By Frank Lewis on 09/05/2008

More Sagem reviews , RRP: AU$1799.00

The good:

  • Double-hinged display
  • Sharp, clear OLED display
  • Strong reception and call quality
  • Accelerometer

The bad:

  • Disappointing camera performance
  • Below average battery life
  • Jaw-dropping price tag

The bottomline:

Maybe it's because we've never actually sat in a Porsche, but we're struggling to find the similarities between the P'9521 and Porsches of the past; except perhaps the exorbitant price tag. With no 3G or Wi-Fi there's very little to justify the expense.

    • Nokia 6210 Navigator

      Nokia 6210 Navigator

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

    • Nokia N85

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

    • LG KF390

      LG KF390

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

    • Nokia E66

      Nokia E66

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
