When the original Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 was released last summer, pundits wondered what would happen with the luxury collection once BlackBerry 10 finally launched some six months later. Of course, BlackBerry (then RIM) and Porsche Design remained mum to the subject. 

Fast forward exactly a year and BlackBerry has launched, to somewhat mass appeal, both new 10-powered devices in the Z10 and Q10 (with the entry-level Q5 launching imminently). Still, however, no word on what would happen with this expensive - but oh so luxurious - collaboration. Even with BlackBerry 10 on the market, BlackBerry and Porsche Design still launched an all black Matte finish P'9981 and a 24-carat gold version is also floating around online.

After showing up on Kodoo's website, the BlackBerry Q5 will be availeble from TELUS, Bell, Fido, Sasktel and from Virgin Mobile as well (in Pure Red!). The midrange smartphone will feature a dual core 1.2GHz processor, vibrant touchscreen and 4G/LTE network support.

Good call, BlackBerry. Pricing is expected to be substantially lower than the Q10 and Z10 which are premium devices.
