Press Release

P'9981

Believe it or not, the Porsche Design P’9981 Smartphone from BlackBerry has been awarded Smartphone of the Year 2012 by a distinguished jury at the renowned Plus X Award in  Germany.

I say believe or not because, not only don’t I believe that the P’9981 is the best looking smartphone, I don’t think that it is even the best looking BlackBerry.

That being said, it is kind of cool that a BlackBerry won this award…
