The Porsche Design P’9982 smartphone from BlackBerry will be available from Porsche Design stores, select carriers and retailers around the world beginning on November 21 with the exclusive retail launch at Harrods, Knightsbridge, London. Availability in Singapore will be announced soon, just not yet, but we will keep you informed about this. Like the BlackBerry P9981, which was modeled after the BlackBerry Bold 9900, this beast will not be cheap, prepare your wallets if you want one (Approx SGD$3,000!).
A limited edition of the P9982 will be made available as well that features Crocodile leather and will be limited to just 500 devices worldwide. However, don’t expect to see a local set here as we are hearing that this will be exclusive to the Porsche Design shop-in-shop at Harrods, London.
Now, as with the P’9981, the P’9982 will carry a special series of “luxury” PIN numbers as well.
The Porsche Design and BlackBerry will also offer exclusive after market accessories such as handcrafted backdoors made from fine Italian leather that are currently available in three colors, so you can choose a look to express your individuality.
However, powered with the same heart as the BlackBerry Z10, this mighty beast might not hold a candle to the BlackBerry Z30, but it will sure express you in a total different class and limelight. Watch it get unveiled in the video below:
Porsche Design and BlackBerry today announced the elite, new, all-touch Porsche Design P’9982 Smartphone from BlackBerry and a second Crocodile model strictly limited to just 500 devices worldwide.
