Sagem and Porsche's P'9521 handset is set to launch at retail as they announce the boxy thing will start selling in Taiwan this month for a whopping $1800. Featuring quad-band GSM / EDGE, measuring in at a portly 140 gram 91 x 48 x 18.4 mm, and packing a 3 megapixel camera, shows us that they got most of the internals right. But unfortunately, the unlikely design duo has also seen fit to include a fingerprint scanner to activate the camera which begs the question, why? Well, at least they've got ugly well covered, so there's comfort in knowing that the next -- if there is such a thing planned -- can only improve on this first effort.
