BlackBerry officially launches the Porsche Design P’9881 in India for Rs 1,39,990

Remember last month we exclusively reported that BlackBerry was taking pre-orders for it’s obscenely priced Porsche Design P’9881 smartphone? Well, today, the company has officially launched the device in India, for Rs 1,39,990. The device essentially is a glorified BlackBerry Bold 9900 in the veil of an ultra-premium ‘Vertu’ like smartphone with an uber-cool Porsche branding.
Like the Bold 9900, the device is powered by a single core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.2GHz and features 768MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. Like most BlackBerry smartphones, it features a portrait QWERTY design and flaunts a 2.8-inch display with a resolution of 640×480 pixels combining up to 286ppi. As is the case with the current generation of BlackBerry, we get BB OS 7.0, and along with this, we also get a serving of a 5-megapixel camera, which can shoot 720p video and also a microSD card slot which supports up to 32GB of memory.
Of course, the ultra-high price tag is there because of the exclusive Porsche partnership and also the fact that the device has been constructed using high-end materials.
