BlackBerry is launching its next Porsche Design-branded smartphone, the P’9983, in October. Unlike the P’9982, its Porsche-emblazoned predecessor, the new P’9983 has a QWERTY keyboard — but just like a real Porsche, the P’9983 will likely be sold at a monumental markup.
The P’9983 has a 3.1-inch screen, 720 x 720 resolution display, and 64GB of internal storage. In an attempt to live up to its luxury branding, BlackBerry has used costly sapphire glass for the P’9983 — but only for the phone’s pea-sized camera lens, not its display.[eap_ad_2]It also has its own PIN ID group, meaning fellow BlackBerry users can identify the person in the room they should be pointing and laughing at. BlackBerry hasn’t set a price for the new model, but previous phones in the weirdly named series cost more than $2,000 when they launched. Expect the P’9983 to cost similar. (TheVerge)[eap_ad_3]
