BlackBerry + Porsche = PorscheBerry


Looking for a way to prove that you have more money than you know what to do with? Want a phone that matches your Porsche? Than look no further than the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981, a $2,400 smartphone that helps the world identify you as "that guy who just spent $2,400 on a cell phone."

The specs of the BlackBerry itself aren't nearly as impressive as you'd expect for a phone that costs about what the average U.S. worker earns in a month. What you get for your money is a 2.8-inch, 640 x 480 touch screen (for those keeping score, smaller and lower resolution than the iPhone 4S), a 5-megapixel camera and 720p HD video recording (the iPhone 4S and most Android models offer 8-megapixels and 1080p), and 768MB of RAM. In other words, the ridiculously expensive smartphone looks obsolete when put next to a phone that came out three months ago.

The phone is not the most expensive phone to come out, a Danish retailer released a $60,000 cell phone last year, and Tag Heuer offers a $6,700 leather Android smartphone. But what do you really get for your $2400 bucks? The Porsche name, a cool design, high-quality construction, and the opportunity to be first Porsche to be plugged into a YUBZ Retro Handset!
