BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981; Features and Price

Porsche Design P'9981 Smartphone from BlackBerry is an exclusive Smartphone styled by Porsche Design, a brand reputed for designing luxury products. Inside, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981 is similar to the Bold 9900 Touch featuring a 2.8-inch VGA Touch display and QWERTY keyboard.

Styled for Boldness

BlackBerry Porsche looks solid and mean (bold). The phone naturally exudes authority and class. It is simply a phone for the big guy or big girl. BlackBerry Porshe P9981 was styled by Porsche Design, a top luxury brand. The phone comes with a stainless steel finish with quality leather on the rear side.

A lot of attention must have gone into the design of the BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981 with brilliant contours. The QWERTY keyboard is in a class of its own.

BlackBerry 7 OS Inside

Inside, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981 draws a few inspiration from the BB Bold Touch 9900. It features a 1.2GHz processor with 768MB RAM just like the Bold Touch. So, expect the same fast and smooth performance. BlackBerry Porsche comes with BlackBerry 7 OS with all its bells and whistle: improved universal search with voice enabled search, improved multi-tasking, support for Near Field Communication (NFC), support for 720p HD video recording, and support for augmented reality apps.

BlackBerry Porsche features the Wikitude World browser, an augmented reality app that enables you discover and interact with the world around you in real-time. Of course, you still get BlackBerry Messenger and a suite of other BlackBerry services.

Exclusive PIN and UI

BlackBerry Porsche Design P9981 is an exclusive smartphone and RIM is not leaving anyone in doubt. Owners of the BlackBerry Porsche P'9981 will have a limited edition PIN series, which according to RIM will be easily identifiable to ensure that owners standout in the crowd.

Yes, the BlackBerry Porsche features BlackBerry 7 OS, but it will come with an exclusive Porsche Design user interface that gives owners an edge.

Touchscreen with HD Camera

 Again like the BlackBerry Bold Touch, Porsche Design P9981 features a 2.8-inch touchcreen with VGA (640 × 480 pixel) resolution. It also features QWERTY keyboard, but a more tasteful one.
