I’m one of the lucky few who got to see this exclusive premium smartphone first hand and, of course, just had to give it the same fantastic unboxing treatment as other Porsche Design devices in the stable. I could go on about the stunning glass-like finish on the iconic BlackBerry keyboard… but it’s better to see for yourself in my latest video.
