Today is the last day to take advantage of BlackBerry's 'BlackBerry Friday' deals where you can save up to 53% on select devices such as Passport, Priv and DTEK50 and more!

As expected, pricing does vary across regions right now, you can pick up a BlackBerry Leap for only $159 USD, BlackBerry Passport for only $249 USD and BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition for only $299 USD. If BlackBerry 10 is not for you, you can also snag a DTEK50 for only $229 and a Priv for only $299.
Sadly, BlackBerry left their latest device out of the mix but that honestly was expected as that has been the pattern in previous years. Lower pricing on previous devices, keep the latest device at the same price. Either way, there are some great deals to be had there.
It even makes Canadian pricing (shown below), which goes up to 55% off, look good. Will you be picking any devices up for yourself or others? If so, let us know in the comments!
