You know you got the bug, when you get a new phone (replace any object here)
and spend the day wondering how to model it.

Admittidly this was modelled in rhino, but the fun is from now, lighting,
texturing and radin (~ 'radin' to use radiosity to a render).  This is a
first (quick) attempt without the finished model, but I wanted to get a
start in pov.

I know dirt looks pretty cool in some scenes but any ideas why the rad's
gone crazy (pov3.5-rc3)?

Anyway comments/critisism welcome (though I havn't produced much in the past
year so be light!)

Great job! You might want to try exporting a higher polygon count mesh
though as I can see some faceting around the bottom of the black face plate.

Rhino can become an addiction much like Pov, I know I'm having tones of fun
with it on my upcoming image! Perhaps one drawback is its almost too
powerful, there are so many ways to get things done that you end up just
using the first method that produces satisfactory results instead of looking
for the most efficient and elegant method, which would lend to better
polygon mesh creation and make the model easier to edit in the future.

Some time ago I got Rhino for free with a magazine. Unfortunatly after
installing it I had to unlock it somehow. I didn't have an internet
connection in those days. At the university I tried to find info about
unlocking the software on both the magazine's website and Rhino's website
with no results. So I gave up on Rhino.
And additionally I want to write everything myself in POV-Ray script (or my
own little C/Perl proggies in case of huge triangle meshes). So I guess I
won't be using Rhino in the near future... (And Rhino isn't free software
IIRC.)

Strange you should post this, I was thinking about modelling my mobile 
phone the other day.  I think I know now how I'm going to do it, it's 
just finding the time.

Damn you, now I have to model my phone and yours is cooler :P I'm gonna use
Wings3D though.

I've realised that POV-Ray scripting is very powerful in some ways that
"modellers" can't do as easily or quickly.. Though I gonna use Wings3d
for just a few things myself..

Ditto, but what means IIRC?

Yeah I'm re-rendering it now with a far higher polygon count - the mesh file
is huge though (3min parse not 3 seconds) and I've finally got around to
reading the radiosity manual in Pov 3.5 end to end so actually know what the
different parameters do (just randomly tweaking them was painfully slow).

Definately - the way in which I do things is *so* different now in rhino.  I
used to build everything up from lathes and primitives, but now I build up
surfaces from curves and tweak them and trim/split them (the result of doing
a few tutorials) and I feel it gives me far more control.

 :) I thought about doing it in Wings3D, it's such a cool piece of software,
I spend hours after I first downloaded it making completely random objects
(mainly sci-fi based stuff), which I thought looked great.  After (finally
working out how to) uv map it and export into POV they looked pretty awful,
maybe it's just cos I didn't stick at it...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is Wings3D and where can i get it?
