Are we still stuck in the late nineties here or what?
Maybe not nineties, but design feels dated. Does not look appealing- just piece of plastic.
oh dear
I like car, but this…Return to the future, oh sorry, back to the 90′s
we’re not but porsche and blackberry sure are
Kitsch Work!
like nokia, blackberry deliberately choose the wrong path — not following consumers. porsche design isn’t of any help now
I don’t agree – Apple didn’t follow the consumers, either. The Porsche Design label looks a bit superfluous, but outside the circles of the smudged piece of glass users this design looks, well, different, it looks male. I’d buy one.
I don’t think its going to save Blackberry
hm… not my favourite
Its hard to tell if this phone is any good and whether it goes beyond just wrapping the phone up in a new skin without using it. It looks to me like a blackberry layout with an old sony ericson wrapped around to skin it and porsche written on it.
I think Blackberry need to start thinking outside the current box they find themselves in, they need to risk the whole company on a new product that will at the very least bring them back upto a par with the market, i fear that if they keep wandering down this path they will fizzle out slowly but surely… they need to be looking to a company like fuse project, a company that will look beyond a styling exercise.
Anyway thats my two cents…
