“The exclusive Porsche Design P’9981 Smartphone from BlackBerry is a Bold 9900 in an expensive new skin. It is not a better BlackBerry than the 9900, but if you have the cash and want to stand out, it is definitely the BlackBerry for you.”
Design: A collaboration between Porsche Design and BlackBerry. You’ll either love the look or hate it. Tends to get a better reaction in real life than from photos.
Feel: The unibody stainless steel frame gives the P’9981 some heft and a sturdy feel that makes it seem more like a luxury item than just another electronic device.
Performance: It’s a Bold 9900 through and through. The 1.2 GHz processor delivers snappy performance and the keyboard is great for messaging.
Quality: As you would expect from a phone that costs $2,000, the quality of the hardware is top notch. RIM didn’t hold back on the use of rich materials.
With a $2k price tag, this is a luxury item. It’s an emotional purchase. You’re buying it because you already like the BlackBerry experience and you want it in the most exclusive manner possible and don’t mind the expense that accompanies it. Comparisons to other BlackBerry phones or competitors on the market just don’t matter.
