If you still haven't taken advantage of the ShopBlackBerry offers on Priv and Passport, BlackBerry has now added some more time to the clock. Whether you are looking for a new BlackBerry 10 or Android smartphone, you won't want to miss out on this deal. You can pick up a Passport for as little as $249 USD (or $299 USD for the Silver Edition) and the Priv is available for $425 USD. As this is a extension of the original sale, BlackBerry notes that quantities are limited and vary by region.

ShopBlackBerry has extended their great deals on Priv and Passport!
Got my Blackberry Passport SE on black Friday yeaaaaa.
I was iphone user from day 1 since iPhone 1 came out not anymore. Got rid of my iPhone 5S and finally got real phone.

Getting the same email. Lol
Via my BlackBerry Passport running the latest QNX software release on WINDmobile DC-HSPA+
Who in their right mind would go buy a Passport now? Despite their assurances you know they're not going to be supporting the device in any real way in the future.

Purchase passport se today? Or wait til boxing day? (I'm super cheap)
I can't buy a phone from their site because they don't support CDMA carriers like Verizon dag nammit!!!
SAD FACE BRO. SAD FACE.

If the BlackBerry Passport isn't getting updates anymore then it will be pretty useless. I don't think that it will get anny unfortunately and that's a shame because it's a great phone.
The BlackBerry Priv also is a interesting cell phone but I heard that it gets very warm even with lighter use and it sometimes aren't that fluid. The back is a little flimsy too. Has it got anny better with updates?
Here's a toast for all the people(idiots) that paid premium price for the Passport SE, 6-8 months ago...
P.S: "I'm one of them" SMH

I'm not regretting it though. I paid 600 and it was worth...im still regretting the note 5 I bought...terrible, it's slow and crashes alot..at first it was nice...my passport se still looks new
Posted via CB10
No regrets re my PP either. I had planned no getting another one as a spare, but with the writing definitely on the wall for BB!0 and the ongoing diminishing app capabilities, it is hard to justify that investment. I am hoping there will be a DTEK70 as I am very partial to the physical keyboard. As for the NOTE 5, I had my eyes on getting one and haven't read of the problems you experienced. Will keep on researching though.
Seidio Convert cases are only made for original PPs. If you want armoured protection, which also gives a better grip, there is no choice really.

I have seidio case for my passport se...beautiful and durable

Just why LOL I know this is how people make a living but when the consumer feels the weight of the storm can you imagine how the engineers feel !
1. Saturation exists because everybody wants to be a competitor versus an innovator, all products don't need competition, competition should be met with innovation. It's enough clutter without the ego & monetary greed.
2.We are superficial and shallow in the workforce, of course they will be elsewhere. Someone's gotta be the account manager, supervisor, CEO, director, etc. You can be as qualified and intelligent as you wanna be, but if you don't 'look' like a manager 'look' like a supervisor 'look' like a secretary well...your qualifications are irrelevant. If you aren't attractive, the right race, right height, right weight,hair type, etc. the hr manager has a thing for tall white guys, has an issue with black females,etc. Whatever obstacle you had to overcome that you directly weren't made aware of will always play in your favor or work against you in a greater capacity than any earthly ' credentials' you may obtain in life. The 'x' factor and 'who you know' are worth more than any accolade....(sadly).
Your qualifications get you an interview get you in the door, but it's the subconscious silent attributes you may or may not be able to pick up on that qualify or disqualify you (if you can tell someone is flirting with you, you can tell when someone has something against you - why is it so far'fetched for people to accept things like bigots & racists exist) you may not have control of that is used against you that works for you or against you.
" My people...hold on."
Wow! How is this post related to the anything that has been said here?
Z10 STL100-3, 10.3.2.2836
the universe advised me, do not question the process.
Pick some BlackBerry passports off the nearest blackberry bush.
All the BS from you all is very entertaining... we all have preference in what we need our gadgets to do... there is no one universal "fit all" cell phone... I have a Classic, it does what I need it to do very well... I have a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge... it does very well what I need it to do... I need BB10 for work security... I use the Galaxy for play time things... Geez, I even have a Windows 10 desktop... it does what I need it to do, very well... I believe BlackBerry is going to be a giant in "Software and Security" in the communications industry... phones and OS are just a small component in the playing field... John Chen has the right strategy in my opinion...

Glad we ALL also have our own opinion, call it BS if you want.
Posted via CB10
Priv is still too expensive. Having handled one and tried to use its tiny keys - smaller than Classic or any Q model - the virtual board which can be used in landscape makes a DSHREK better competition with a Blu Tooth QWERTY case.
I have 2x SEs, do I need a third?
Posted via CB10
That is something I don't understand. The Priv, a phone released one year ago, on sale is only $75 cheaper than the DTEK60 which have better specs and have been released one week ago.
Z10 STL100-3, 10.3.2.2836
Keyboard...
My SE arrives tomorrow.
Posted via CB10
Great prices, but it's too bad they did not discount things a year or so ago. Maybe they could have increased the install base on a truly innovative device back then, but today this is unfortunately a fire sale.
Would absolutely love a PP, but the pace of support dropping for some essentials (WhatsApp, banking apps, browser becoming dated) means it will quickly become strictly a phone call/email/SMS device.
Why won't BlackBerry pump some serious Ads on tv like Google and their new Pixl phone. Just watch few minutes of the World Series and you'll see 2 Ads in 10 minutes time on Pixl. I get it it's expensive but if you want to sell 1 million units, you need to spend some $ and let ppl know you exist and have a product.
You mean repeat the debacle of the Superbowl commercial where you announce a product but there aren't any at carriers to try out and buy?
most commercial are dumb, they just need to keep repeating the ads...ppl buy geico service, the ads are stupid and don't even make sense...pixel commercial sucks too
Posted via CB10
I was so going to get a PP SE, but not anymore as most of us are still waiting for 10.3.3
Will wait to see when they finally bring us this update. Might even wait longer for Mercury, cause my Ztormtrooper (Z10) still works flawlessly.

Bbm video with android and ios would also be a necessity for me. BlackBerry is dead.
"Run the Google "
Posted via CB10
I swear I said I was not coming on the site anymore. Just bought a Iphone 7 plus and a Hp Elite x3 but I cannot pass up this SE price. I might not even use it for a while but My last SE met with and unfortunate accident. I love to travel with the SE though its great for when I travel and I love the blackberry travel app. But that price I couldn't resist.
But in Portugal nothing...always the same!!!

I took advantage of this and have been rocking a BlackBerry Passport SE for two weeks now. Am not looking back. I came from an LG G5 and all the apps I used on that I am using on the Passport with no issues thanks to Cobalts method.

Passport se is amazing phone..built to last..came from iphone6s
Posted via CB10
If a Verizon customer buys an unlocked Priv, can that phone get updates without waiting for Verizon?
I don't think so.
Posted via CB10
I thought that one of the pros of getting an android is that you wouldn't need to rely on companies to get updates.
I planning to get an old SIM from my sister who lives in Canada in order to get updates in Peru.
Z10 STL100-3, 10.3.2.2836
One of the pro's with buying *directly* from BlackBerry is that you won't need to rely on carriers for updates. It's not an Android "pro", as Android devices still require carrier releases if they're carrier-branded. If you buy directly from BlackBerry, you won't need your sister's old SIM. Wi-Fi will work.
This is good. Thanks!

I prefer to get the dteck60 or mercury if they release it
Posted via CB10
Liquidation i think they gonna stop seling those 2 phone
Posted via CB10
That's a great deal! I really want to try out the BlackBerry Passport and I prefer the black one.
I would buy a PP SE also however since I'm on Verizon and Sprint I'm screwed again by Shop BlackBerry.
Posted via CB10
If I could get a PP on Verizon I would buy it tomorrow. For now I'm rocking my z30 as my personal & my S7 with hub+ as my work device. Best of both worlds.
They need to advertise, period. All I ever see on TV or hear on the radio is Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and HTC. Everyone who sees that I have a blackberry is surprised to know that they still exist, and even more that it is a full touch!!!
Centcarats...I have the Priv and Passport SE and the AT&T Passport. The SE is like platinum compared to silver. Quality build which will last and a material in the back makes it easier to grip. The difference is I know my Passport SE is sturdier, will take more abuse and last longer along with being the most stunning phone that will probably ever be made. It's a crime BlackBerry is out of the hardware business. Just got my SE last week during the sale so I guess one less Zombie at BlackBerry to the obnoxious hater in a previous thread. The Priv gives me access to a virtual keyboard and physical keyboard which is most of the draw. Also, I love my Google voice search and navigation along with a bigger screen to watch Netflix. For emails, music and work it's my Passport all the way. I doubt there's a phone out there that can compare to the sound quality with headphones or without. I'm a musician and it's like hearing music for the first time through a cell phone ...and I had the HTC One which was one of the best. I keep both phones with me at all times for different uses, but the Passport will always be my favorite.
If BB10 discontinued much longer can Passport seriously be excellent ?
A Passport for what???
Posted via CB10
Should I buy another Passport SE....or simply use the current one I've got and wait to see what happens, I would only have it for spare. But if BlackBerry goes belly up then it won't matter much anyways. I'm pretty good with my phones but I really enjoy the pp experience. Sucks what RIM has turned into. I blame the kids for this and the 'music' industry. People seem to release 'sound' and 'apps'....quality is all but gone...... hello.... its me.....i was wondering..

Dreaming of a Priv Silver Edition with the sweet 820 *sigh*
Now if they were selling Q10's again I'd be interested!
Posted via CB10
Hey to the Community! I have a Passport first edition but I'm feeling like moving to the Priv because of the non support of "Google Services" based app although I really enjoy my Passport and think it's the best phone I ever had. So I would appreciate the input from someone who used both phones. Thank you.
Go to the forums, this is not the place for this discussion. Also, this has been debated to death... not sure who will jump at opening this conversation.

Alright! Thanks for your reply
Not sure if I should get the Priv with that low price, wait to see if in Black Friday the price goes even lower, or just buy the DTEK60.
Nice!

What's the difference in getting a silver passport!?
Sent via the BlackBerry Classic
A world of difference. You can't imagine until you've owned one.
Sent from the pure awesomeness of my Passport SE on the Rogers network. Excuse the typos.
Care to elaborate?

It is a better fit in the hands with the rounded edges.
Difference from the AT&T ? Which did you have?
Should i get a fourth Passport Se?? Decisions..decisions.
Posted via CB10
@YesAnd No...Do or Don't, How many people in your family?haha
I can’t decide if I should buy a spare Passport in case the Mercury is never released.
Mercury Will NEVER be released. Get yourself another passport.
Someone's a sceptic, lol.
Go for the Passport as Mercury might never happen.

I am in the same boat driving me nuts. Especially since they said in a few months they would release a keyboard. Thinking may get Priv or tough out with another passport or for fun a classic.

Gotta sell all what's left of BlackBerry10

I have ordered my blackberry passport silver edition few weeks back, got it on this offer. The phone it is amazing but can't say the same about the battery, at least my device. If I start use it intensive for few h battery drop very fast. I did hub reset, hard reset, soft reset still the same. Does anyone know if I can do something about? Thanks.

Check the android apps you are using those might be the problem. It easily takes me through the day without a problem.

Try turning off cellular radio and use only wifi for an afternoon -- might be due to data usage over a poor cellular connection.
My battery is draining fast in a location with less than adequate (let's say "poor") reception.... switching to 3G often helps!
Otherwise, SOT is killing it... :-D

#1 Check out the Forums,turn off hotspots...tethering...Bluetooth...nfc...turn down screen brightness...turn off Blend,but a couple of weeks is crazy,usually takes a couple of days to settle in,call BB before 30 days and they'll ship you a new one I think,lol
Agreed regarding screen brightness -- I've become accustomed to using PP with a very low brightness setting and the battery life benefits significantly.
Maybe are you using emails in push? Deactivation of the push solved the problem for me.
Posted via CB10
Possibly multiple Email Accounts & Frequency of Syncing?
Posted via CB10
Quantities are limited!!!!!
Hahahhahahhaha
It's possible. They produce limited quantities
Posted via CB10
Great offers indeed.
I imagine the "deal" is extend to whenever they run out of inventory..... or whenever they are force to mark them down more.
Yes this seems to be how they're doing it. No idea how much inventory they have though.
Hi,
Our NY BB store at the Brookfield Mall has all of the current models in stock. Look forward to seeing you there!
I want a PP badly but I need a dual sim, can't function without it.
Very disappointed that the DTEK 60 didn't include it
Posted via CB10
Just buy two passports for the dual sim. They are on sale.
Posted via CB10
Can't be many Passports left now. Especially silver ones. I don't think their price will go much lower than this.
Posted via CB10
Passport SE was sold out on Canadian site when I checked about 2 weeks ago. Did they get more?
Did you go check.......
Posted via CB10
Hi Drenegade,
We at the NYC BlackBerry Store have restocked in PRIVS, DTEK 50s, DTEK 60s, Passports - and yes, black and SILVER! :) Check us out on the Official BlackBerry website or visit us in person!
Passport is the number one, it's a work machine
Fact
Yeah!
Posted via CB10
I'm getting sick and tired of the prices Canadians have to fork over!.... that's all for my rant!
Posted via CB10
If only the Canadian dollar was strong :(
The Passport SE looks sharp but man it can't do a whole lot for me with the lack of good Apps
And what about 10.3,3 ? push it out and probably sell more Passports,lol
Yes, this is surely why the consumers gave up on BB10. Once the delay of the 10.3.3 update was all over the news and social media, sales really plummeted. I think that we can all agree that this has been, by far, the biggest mistake the company has ever made.
Lol

That and biggest mistake. Let me humbly disagree... ;-D

Posted via CB10
Nope, I'm being serious! Never heard so many people going insane for ordering Passports ever before.
In Germany they already sold out.
Could also just be retailers sending stock back to BlackBerry for liquidation and writedown.
That might be the case - but there isn't any smartphone for about 300 Euros like the Passport.
This device still is stunning great!
It is... I've been on my one for two years now.
Anniversary: 26/Oct/14, ... iirc :-)
• "BB10 dead?" - "Let's dance the Danse MacaBBRY! ... or is it..?" ;-D •

Just hoping the Apps keep working since the android runtime can't be updated..
The Passport has been the best phone. It's replaced my laptop.

if only PRIV had an upgrade to 8MP front facing camera, Blackberry would get at least 1 sell no doubt!
MP on a cellphone are hardly noticeable in more recent years. If you truly wanted the Priv, the FFC wouldn't deter you...
Posted via CB10
That 2MP camera on the front of the priv is absolutely rubbish, I know because I had it, the DTEK60 front camera blows it out of the water, I know because I have it.
Thanks for the edit cause I'm not a dude.
$400 CDN, we getting there. A few more dollars lower for the PP and I'm sold.
BB10 over ANY Android device.
Extension of the original sale and supplies limited and vary across region = they're not selling at all.

Check out Ebay there's one guy who sold 1076 passports for C$280 and another sold 160 for C$254,that might turn your crank,haha
Why doesn't BlackBerry need to decorate their HQ for Halloween? They still have a rotting zombie called BB10 on display.
