If you were there then, then you know that the Blackberry was the pre-iPhone status symbol if your status was ‘never not working’. In 2009, Pharrell partnered with Jacob & Co. to set status to ‘stunt’. The original plastic case of Pharrell’s Blackberry 8820 was cast in 18K gold, giving him the ability to send, as he put it, ”golden messages.” Complete with ICECREAM original sticker, 18k 750 stamped on the back.
