If you think that the Bold 9900 is a bit overpriced, wait til’ you see the P’9981′s price tag.
Meet the Blackberry P’9981, Porsche Design Group’s first try on taking their luxurious designing prowess on a smartphone.
The shiny phone features a sleek, forged stainless steel frame, and unsurprisingly, the phone’s back cover is wrapped in genuine leather typical of designs from PDG. Also, the phone’s QWERTY keyboard is drastically different from any other Blackberry phones that we have seen, the sculpted design of the keys still have a hint of ‘Blackberryness’ in them but the indentations are more edgy, masculine to be exact.
Finally, the P’9981 isn’t complete without its Crystal Clear Touch display that features a 24-bit high-resolution panel which, in our opinion, is pretty much the same with that of the Bold 9900′s. Actually, the P’9981 seems more like a glorified Bold 9900–just on the outside.
The P’9981 is also said to sport a custom-designed Porsche Design UI and a fancy Wikitude World Browser that takes advantage of the devices augmented reality capabilities. Also, RIM was kind enough to spare a bit of effort to give the P’9981 owners an extra sense of exclusivity by giving each device its own special Blackberry PIN that’ll enable P’9981 users to distinguish another P’9981 user. (Handy if you want to let the world know that you own a P’9981 without being ‘too obvious’ don’t you think?)
It’s worth noting that the Sony-Ericsson-looking Blackberry phone is priced at a staggering $2,000. Most of your hard-earned cash is probably spent on the device’s exterior design and materials (other than bearing the Porsche Design name) since the phone’s hardware leaves much to be desired. The internals, as I’ve already mentioned, seem to have been mirrored off of RIM’s flagship Bold 9900 smartphone. It features a single core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, HD video recording, Blackberry OS 7 with custom Porsche Design UI, 8GB worth of on-board memory (expandable up to 40GB via the microSD card slot), WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communications).
According to RIM’s press release, the Blackberry P’9981 will be available from the Porsche Design stores later this year.
