I just wanted to post something, here is the image I have been working on.
Thanks to JVP for the ready-made environments! I am too lazy to make my own
yet...

Also, the phone is a modern button phone but in a retro rotary style. There
are some persistent radiosity artifacts around the feet- too low
error_bound or too high nearest_count, I think. Also the blurred reflection
on the sphere rendered OK, but the (same) blurred reflection on the spoon
took up probably 90% of the rendering time. My guess is because of
self-reflection in concave surface, is that plausible?

Questions, comments welcome...

Yes. I already posted a reply to your question on povray.newusers once a
while ago.

Nice! That cord is perfect.

If it were black, I'd wonder if you'd nicked the phone from our living
room - well done. :-)

Actually nearest_count can hardly be too high (except for your patience 
and memory size).  I would try higher count and maybe vary 
minimum_reuse.  Also make sure max_trace_level is high enough.

Note smooth meshes are somewhat problematic with radiosity so if it 
renders much better with a flat version that might be the reason.

I think that's excellent modelling and textures you've got there Stefan. 
Very nice!

That's impressive. :)  If it's a real model of phone, it'd be nice to also
see a side-by-side too.'

Thanks, Charles, and everybody. Of course this is a POV-Ray forum, and most
of the work on the phone was done in Wings3D, so I didn't mean just to show
off a model, it was more a showcase for the photo-studio to my mind.
However, one interesting thing: I wasn't able to get the dial to look good
as a mesh, so the dial and buttons are blobs. Also, I'm proud of the fact
that the numbers are procedural textures with object pattern, not
imagemaps.

As far as the real phone, the one here is close:

I don't take pictures very well, but the working model looks like this:
