Limited Edition BlackBerry P’9982 Comes With Crocodile Skin Back

Limited Edition BlackBerry P9982 Comes With Crocodile Skin BackAfter being leaked multiple times and rumored for a launch in the near future, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9982 was announced a couple of weeks ago. The handset itself was something of a premium, coming in at $2,400 and featuring a unique design that was in line with Porsche’s design language. It also came with a unique theme for its UI, once again, based on Porsche, but underneath the hood the handset was basically a BlackBerry Z10. In any case it seems that having the Porsche Design branding wasn’t exclusive or luxurious enough because it looks like BlackBerry is making a limited edition model with a crocodile skin back.

We’re pretty sure the folks at PETA and other animal rights activists aren’t too thrilled about this, but if you’re not too fussed about these sorts of things, this limited run BlackBerry P’9982 is expected to come in at a much steeper price (no word on an exact figure at the moment), so if you thought $2,400 was a tad ridiculous for a phone with the specs of a BlackBerry Z10, we’re not sure how you guys will feel about this. What do you guys think? How much do you reckon BlackBerry/Porsche will charge for this limited edition model?

    If your company produced a device that, while technically accomplished, managed to lose you $1 billion a few months later, you’d probably try and pretend that it never existed. That’s not the approach that BlackBerry is taking with the Z10, however. Instead, the beleaguered smartphone maker has teamed up with Porsche Design to create the P’9982, a gussied-up version of the touchscreen smartphone designed to tempt gold course-bound executives and the super rich in ways that the original evidently failed to do. We’ve just got one of the devices in our hand, and we thought we’d run the rule over it to see how the other half live. %Gallery-slideshow122231%
