In the immortal words of Ashford and Simpson, the Porsche-designed Blackberry is h-h-h-h-hot
What would you get if you took a Motorola RAZR (the original), a BlackBerry and a mid-1980s Bang and Olufsen stereo, tossed them in a blender and poured the results to set in a shallow cake tin? You?d get the Porsche Design P?9981 Smartphone you see above.
Specs-wise, the phone doesn?t do anything special. It simply checks the boxes required of a modern mobile telephone: 1.2GHz processor, 720p video camera, 8GB storage, 5MP stills camera and a microSD card slot for expansion. It?s relatively small 2.8-inch, 640 � 480 287dpi screen can be explained away by the backlit hardware QWERTY keyboard.
But design-wise, it?s a rather hot-looking slab of glass and stainless steel (no silvered plastic here), and even has a leather-coved back panel. It probably won?t help BlackBerry pull out of its terrible death spiral, but it will at least make e-mail addicted businessmen look a little less dorky.
Price and availability tba.
