Splendid build quality
Phone owned for less than a month

The phone build quality is really great. It feel solid, and eye catching. But I don't feel the Porsche at all, and I wonder why Porsche would let Blackberry put their brand in it.

Anyway, there is still inconsistent UI in this Blackberry Porsche, and although it's minor, it really ruin the word "Porsche". Stability is quite great, but I expect more. The phone in general not sluggish, but at one or two times would feel that a restart is needed.
