Last week, BlackBerry introduced the BlackBerry P'9983 Porsche Design handset. Like the previous two Porsche Design models, the P'9981 and P'9982, the latest addition to the family features a premium build and a premium price. More importantly, it debuts the BlackBerry 10.3 OS build which includes BlackBerry Assistant. This is BlackBerry's version of a personal assistant like Siri, Cortana and Google Now.

BlackBerry has released a video that shows some of the 'behind the scenes' action that took place before the global launch of the Porsche Design P'9983 in Dubai. Holding the launch of the phone in Dubai made perfect since for a $2000 handset, since the country is one of the wealthiest in the world.

The video shows off some real messages posted on social media by BlackBerry fans, along with clips of the phone being tested out after its launch. You can view it for yourself by clicking on the video below.
