Bat phone to be installed in melbourne

FLAMBOYANT millionaire mobile phone salesman John Ilhan has ordered a city apartment building be built in the shape of a mobile phone.

The owner of the Crazy John's empire wants a 34-storey building in City Rd, South Melbourne, to become a monument to his billion-dollar business.

Boasting all the cosmetic features of a mobile phone, the 166-apartment building's exterior could feature numbers, "end" and "send" buttons as well as a rooftop antenna.

Permits have been granted for a 110m building, but Mr Ilhan wants to alter the plans to incorporate his radical idea.

Plans were later scrapped when he discovered this will still be smaller than majority of the phones available through Hutchison's "3" service.
