BlackBerry is continuing its Porsche Design collaboration unveiling a 24-carat gold version of the Porsche Design BlackBerry P9981, to be available in certain Porsche Design stores in July.
The production of the gold-plated, leather-bound P’9981 Gold smartphone is limited to 25 handsets made out of a stainless steel case with a gold-colored titanium coating. The gold phone is featuring a 24-carat gold layer and a 24-carat gold camera cover engraved with serial number and 2AA prefix code, that informs other BlackBerry users that they are communicating with a P’9981 device.
Products with clean lines and no frills are at the heart of Porsche Design philosophy, the shape of the 24-carat gold BlackBerry keeping the minimalist appearance.

The P’9981 also has 8 GB internal storage and a 16 GB Micro SD card. In total, the storage can be expanded up to 40 GB. The smartphone also features Liquid Graphics technology, which provides a smooth, fluid visual experience on the phone’s high resolution 24-bit graphic display.
The smartphone’s software comes with advanced applications like the Wikitude “augmented reality” world browser, which takes advantage of the phone’s array of sensors.
