BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 gets a tear down courtesy of the FCC

Earlier in the month we got word that pre-orders were being accepted for the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 in the US for the eye-popping price of $1,700. It looks as though the P’9981 just took a trip through the FCC, leaving a few pictures of its innards for us to gawk at.

The outside of the U.S. version looks to be the same as the international release apart from the word “proceeding” engraved into the front above the display where typically it says “Porsche Design.” Also on the back plate where it typically says “P’9981”, it appears that it has been edited out, leaving just a gray plate. We assume that is just for the FCC’s prototype and the actual release will have the proper branding.
