Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite launched as yet another luxury BlackBerry smartphone

BlackBerry today announced a new version of its luxurious Porsche Design P'9983 smartphone, which has been available to buy in select markets since last year. The new handset is called BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite, and comes with "exclusive graphite-metallic colored elements." Moreover, the Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite doesn't have the glossy back of the older model, instead having "the finest, hand-wrapped leather" on the rear cover.

Other than the exterior changes, the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9983 Graphite doesn't differ from the original version, offering specs like a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 x 720 pixels, a Snapdragon S4 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of internal memory.

BlackBerry says that the Porsche Design P’9983 Graphite will be available to buy in the coming weeks via Porsche Design stores, as well as through select carriers and retailers. It looks like the handset can already be bought from Porsche Design's website (see the second source link below). What about the price? It's the same as the price of the original Porsche Design P’9983: $1,950. Any buyers?
