Ailing smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry has launched a brand new luxury smartphone for its Porsche Design range, the fresh-faced P'9983.
The Canadian firm say its ritzy blower will hit shelves starting in OCtober from select retailers and dedicated Porsche Design stores.
The handset is designed to look premium, obviously, and touts a sapphire glass camera lens, a stainless steel chassis, and a glassy reaer.
In terms of specs, you're looking at a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2 gigs of memory, 64GB of internal storage (microSD slot in tow), and two cameras at 8- and 2-MP respectively.
The battery offers 2100mAh of juice, and connectivity comes courtest of WiFi, 4G/LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, a micro USB port, and a micro HDMI port too.
The screen is HD, although BlackBerry's thrown mainstream smartphone design to the wind and stuck with a teeny 3.1-in display.
The diminutive display also means you're looking at BlackBerry's age-old physical keyboard, with real clicky buttons and a good 3-inches of arguably wasted space. The tactile amongst you will be assuredly pleased though. Hurrah.
The OS will be BlackBerry 10.3, and BB says every P'9983 will have its own unique Porsche PIN in the 2AAXXXXX format. Instantly recognisable, we hear.
BlackBerry actually announced its new luxury smartphone in - surprise, surprise - Dubai, a city built on excess, although we're still not sure on pricing. Expect a big bucks R.R.P, though.
