This week RIM announced their latest phone, the Porsche Design P’9981 BlackBerry, an unexpected partnership with the luxury carmaker.

This week RIM announced their latest phone, the Porsche Design P’9981 BlackBerry, an unexpected partnership with the luxury carmaker. Accompanying the phone's $2,000 price tag is a stainless steel frame, hand-wrapped leather back, and touch display. A new Porsche user interface, the Wikitude World Browser augmented reality app, built-in NFC support, and an exclusive PIN that identifies the BBM user as a P'9981 owner make up the inside mechanics of the device to entice luxury gadget enthusiasts.

Though it's expected to be available later this year, no specific launch date has been announced or details on which wireless carriers will offer the Porsche BlackBerry. Will you be lining up to get the newest BlackBerry?

Porsche Design P'4911 Stroller: Ga Ga or Gag?

Strollers have come a long way from the frilly, teddy bear-adorned versions that flooded the market years ago, but only a few are actually coveted by design lovers.

Strollers have come a long way from the frilly, teddy bear-adorned versions that flooded the market years ago, but only a few are actually coveted by design lovers. Hoping to change all of that is David Dawod. Answering a call for designs from Porsche, David created the P'4911 Stroller (price TBD) — the most masculine stroller ever made. Using carbon fiber, aluminum, leather, and ball-bearing wheels, he's designed a sleek carriage that answers the luxury car maker's desire to "erase our view of parenting." The biggest selling point of the sure-to-be-pricey stroller will certainly be its collapsibility. As any parent that has struggled to fit a stroller into his or her car's trunk will appreciate, the P'4911 folds so small that it can fit into the trunk of even the smallest Porsche on the market!

Porsche P'9521 Phone: Sleek and Sporty

We've seen our fair share of luxurious car company inspired cell phones recently.

We've seen our fair share of luxurious car company inspired cell phones recently. There's the limited edition MOTORAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Mobile phone, the $25,000 Ferrari Phone By Vertu and now, the Porsche P'9521 clamshell headset, which looks to be the most stunning design of all. The device is made out of sturdy aluminum and mineral glass and according to Crave, features a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus and dual LED photo lights. I can't get over how sleek it is, while maintaining the charm and glamor of the Porsche brand. It doesn't top the Armani phone for me, but I certainly wouldn't mind sporting it. Businessmen everywhere must be drooling.
