The first BlackBerry Store in the world has opened in the UAE and if you're unable to pop by, you can check it out by watching the video below. The store is located in Dubai, the 22nd most expensive city in the world. You might notice a lot of signage for the BlackBerry Q5, the entry-level QWERTY equipped BB10 model that just launched exclusively in the country.

If you're a big time BlackBerry fan, visiting this store is like dying and going to heaven. The walls are chock full of BlackBerry accessories, and the tables are full of BlackBerry handsets including some older models like the BlackBerry Bold 9900. We'd expect to see BlackBerry move this concept into other countries where it has been picking up some momentum like the U.K. and of course, Canada.
