If this was using their QNX OS it would be exciting news. It would have made sense to wait until that's finally ready before releasing an expensive BB.

They might be out of business by the time QNX is ready...lol

I've never been interested in Blackberry, but to their credit, this one looks good to me.

I also heard news of the Porsche Design skin (similar to the 9981) can be purchased at a mere $2000 for the 9900

That is 1 cool looking phone!!

Dissapointed with whats been happening with BB lately.

I've had very little issues with my blackberry and hoping they can get things back on track and turned around.

Trying to support local Canadian Company although its tough to stay away from the current Apple products.

Nah, sticking with my iPhone 4S. It has similar design esthetics and looks like something Porsche Design would produce anyway.

You can't polish a turd. But you can dip it in glitter.

i thought the same thing. the metallic sides and gloss black finish are really similar to the porsche design aesthetic.

I think Porsche should design an iPhone, at least we know Apple will be around.
