The Porsche Design P’9981 BlackBerry smartphone is now available in Black for $2050 and it is running BlackBerry OS 7. This super exclusive model by Porsche Design is distinguished by a linear and minimalist look combined with innovative technology. The P'9981 Black will be available mid-January 2013 in Porsche Design stores worldwide. In Canada, the P’9981 will be exclusively available at Porsche Design Toronto on Bloor Street.
The all-black look creates a stylish new take on the product's outstanding design and high-quality materials. The P'9981 Black consists of a stainless steel frame encased in black plastic with a hand-wrapped leather backing. Additional highlights include a special black QWERTY keyboard and a crystal-clear touch-screen display. Just like the original P'9981, the black version features a customized Porsche Design user interface and an exclusive, premium BlackBerry-Messenger-PIN. The choice of materials and sleek black design are typical hallmarks of Porsche Design.
RIM is slated to release the new BlackBerry 10 operating system and new smartphone hardware on January 30th in various events around the world. We'll be covering the Toronto launch event live here.
