So what do you get for two grand, besides spotty service and a seat on a hot new class action lawsuit? A 1.4GHz processor, stainless steel face, leather back, a feeling of tenuous superiority and an exclusive BBM PIN. If that last part appeals to you, die. Pick up your P9981 at the nearest Porsche Design Store, which I’m sure are plentiful around the world. Then, you can do all sorts of Exclusive Porsche BlackBerry things, like cutting giant coke lines and slicing poor people. [RIM via CrackBerry]

as much as i agree it looks uncomfortable to use… it’s aesthetically pleasing.
although, this article just seems like a little child not allowed a piece of candy, and now bitching about it… pitiful

Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 3:50 PMIt’s just the same Blackberry except covered in stainless steel. It’s lipstick on a pig and aimed at the “oohh shiny!” market. The “PORSCHE DESIGN” logo is even more obnoxious.
It looks like it came from that period in the early 2000s, right after clear coloured plastic and right before piano black… when all gadgets came in brushed silver.
“Hey honey! Look, they call this a DVD player! And I got an awesome new Blackberry too!”
