Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 now available in the UK for £1,275

The Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 is now available in the UK. The device was announced in Dubai and the smartphone carries an industrial design that, for some, looks very weird and ugly. Personally, it's cool. The device is already available over at Harrods and sells for £1,275 a piece. Apparently, target to those who can afford such a price for a piece of smartphone. Anyway, the BlackBerry P'9981 runs on BB OS 7 and is being powered by a 1.2GHz processor with 768MB of RAM. Pretty much it's like a BlackBerry Bold Touch since it also sports a touchscreen display.

BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981 officially unveiled

Yesterday in Dubai, RIM and Porsche unveiled the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981 smartphone. The BB Porsche Design P9981, as you can see in the photo, carries that industrial and modern look. Its boxy up top and curved at the bottom and that keyboard is like taken from a different planet. The smartphone actually looks very futuristic but what would you expect when Porsche comes in and does a bit of designing jobs in the process? Anyway, the smartphone is, apparently, a luxury device and "will be available from Porsche Design stores later this year."
