Can someone identify this mobile phone?

piL

I was watching House of Cards, and saw this laying on a table in a scene. I thought it looked pretty cool, was wondering if anybody could let me know what phone it is.




Thanks!

Hard to tell from a shot that small and dark, but it looks fairly distinctive. Does...does it have a full keyboard down there? The general design and layout are Blackberry-esque, but it's way blockier than any Blackberry I've ever seen.

I think it's this guy. A Porsche Design Blackberry P'9981. MSRP is somewhere north of $1500, and everything except the design suuuuuucks.

Wow. I am in awe. Not in a positive way, but in a there-is-nothing-about-this-I-even-being-to-understand way.

For starters: What's with the apostrophe? What omitted letters is it replacing? How is one supposed to pronounce it when saying the name of the device, if at all? "The Porsche design Pee <tongue click> Nine Nine Eight One."

Obviously the people who don't understand are just plebes that are jealous of your stupid, stupid phone.

Well, I guess that closes it. I guess I shouldn't get one, because that's a lot of money for a shitty phone, but it's so pretty!

Notice the subtle, high-class design hints of PORSCHE DESIGN in all bolded caps across the top, in case anyone was unsure of how wealthy / easily parted from your fortune you are

Man, that's nothing. You can get branded iPhones and such with solid gold covers and all encrusted with diamonds for well over $100,000 if you want...

Oh yeah. Nokia had a house brand called Virtu that did that kind of stuff on shitty Symbian phones.

Well Nokia technically spun them off. Different company now :P
