BlackBerry 10 may be all over the news most of the time these days but Porsche Design have brought yet another edition of the P'9981 to the table and this one is going to be expensive. We've already had the silver and black versions but this new gold version will be limited to just 25 handsets worldwide which will be available in certain Porsche Design stores in July.
In terms of design, the gold P'9981 is much the same as the previous editions but material wise this thing is premium. It is made up of a stainless steel case with a gold-colored titanium coating. The case is also finished with a 24-carat gold layer. The limited edition number is on the camera cover on the backside of the smartphone, and is milled from a solid block of 24-carat gold.
Specs wise the gold P'9981 is identical to the earlier variants so if you are prepared to pay out for this thing it will be purely for the bling. As it stands at the moment we don't yet have a price but I dread to think what it will be.
With BlackBerry 10 becoming so popular do you think that Porsche Design should be focusing on a special edition Q10 or similar? Let us know in the comments.

The battery cover itself looks pretty high quality with the BlackBerry logo being stamped into what appears to be a leather and glass weave combination. The interesting thing...
