Harrods to offer £1,275 Porsche BlackBerry

[Jazzy]

Harrods is to be the exclusive British retailer for a new Porsche Design BlackBerry handset costing £1,275.

The Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 has a fully QWERTY keyboard etched onto a forged stainless steel front and a leather back.



Powered by the BlackBerry 7 operating system, the P'9981 has a 1.2GHz processor, 8GB of storage, a camera that can record 720p HD video and an NFC chip for contactless payments. It will be released before the end of 2011, according to technology magazine T3.



It won't be cheap, however. Smartphone buyers who complain about the price of Apple's iPhone will baulk at the eye-watering £1,275 price tag for the P'9981. Still, they are unlikely to be the target market: this is a handset to compete with Vertu's luxury smartphones.

Question: Would you buy this if you could afford it?

Nope, you?

I have way more important things to spend my money on and would never waste it on a phone.
