Have some money to burn in your pockets and want to get your hands on a BlackBerry Passport in gold, platinum or rose gold? If so, the folks at Gold Genie are willing to help out. They're now taking orders for your choice of BlackBerry Passport with prices ranging from $1,893.83 USD to $2,020.26 USD.
Luxury retailers have seemingly been loving the latest batch of BlackBerry devices as several of them now have come out with their own variations, some slathering more gold on them than others. Karalux being one of the most impressive thus far having even gone into detailing the frets on the device.
It's not just the BlackBerry Passport either. The Porsche Design P'9983 has received the same treatment from Gold Genie, while as noted by N4BB, the BlackBerry Classic has been getting lots of love from WNG Supplies who reportedly has created a 24K carat gold version for Drake and a still fresh rose gold version for Khloe Kardashian.

Whether you think they're beautiful or wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, there's certainly a market for the luxury devices out there and retailers are letting it be known the new BlackBerry smartphones are ideal for being covered in all sorts of precious metals. Now we'll wait for the diamond encrusted versions to arrive.

You can now get a BlackBerry Passport in gold, platinum or rose gold
I simply want a Verizon passport

I so want the gold passport with a tan, leather case!!

Its bullshit! Passport in gold should be gold all around only? It should be gold frame, keyboard strips and BlackBerry logo

The gold trip takes it to another level! I hope the BlackBerry Classic gets released with a gold trim too!

What happened tot ge forum. Used to be about BlackBerry now it's all about bashing anything. I want to be impressed but it's hard. Maybe some more cleverness needs to be added.

Gold is tacky.
Posted via CB10
I don't care. I want official 10.3 on my q10
Posted via CB10
That's either a bad angle on the SIM slot or bad design.
Very !! Luxury !!
What about an all-silicone version? :D
Posted with my BlackBerry Q10 using the CrackBerry 10 application
Id be a happier guy if all of the trim, frets and all were custom.
Posted via CB10
Kevin!! can you get me oneeee
Posted via CB10
Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead with the low-end $1,893.83 USD crap. $2,020.26 USD or BUST!!!
Where can i buy this?
Posted via CB10
These news colors will double sales and put BlackBerry back on the map!
Innovative.
Timely.
A must have item.
Nuts!
;)
BlackBerry hates America!
Lol they wildn. I'll just spray paint it gold.
Posted via CB10
I expected the keys to be made of sculpted rubies with Diamond inlay. These phones are not nearly lavish enough. How am I supposed to eat my caviar and send emails on such plebeian devices.

imagine if porsche does one in gold. that price would give an instant headache lol

I love blackberry but why is it so expensive?? Is it real gold? Can someone explain to me.
Posted via CB10
Eh, it's ok...I like the Porsche edition better...
Posted via Passport
Wanted a Passport for my old eyes. But may have to settle for the classic if that is all Verizon is carrying. However if they dilly-dally on stocking the phone it's hi-ho hi-ho it's off to AT&T I go.
While they look nice, I couldn't justify that kind of money.
Posted via One Very Cool Passport!
it should have been completely gold like borders and the middle of keypad and the rear camera line.. not just the borders..
I had a Q10 like tht complete gold frame so I suggest for passport to do the same and cancel this...

I love my original black but I wish I can get the pure black version

The reception on these devices must be laughable. I doubt you you'll get a good signal with those metals. Enjoy...

Lol. Best sarcastic comment yet.
I sure hope it was meant sarcastic...

Rose gold is a killer! Love it! $$$$$$$ :-)

How do they come up with these odd prices? Why not just 1,999.99? Nope, let's make it 1,832.64. Weird
It costs what it costs, no more, no less; that's why it's lux.
Nice to see a Kardashian finally has good taste in something :)
Serious Mobility for Serious Business. Plus Stickers.
They make a killing on these things. Gold plating is not that expensive. Hope they sell some!
Posted via CB10
The Karalux one is ridiculously gorgeous. Even the 'fret' underneath the keyboard is done. If you're gonna ball out, you might as well put as much gold on the thing as possible. There is a video for it:

Luv it
Posted via CB10
Eh. It looks odd. I think this would look better on the white variants.
Why would they say $USD when you can not even get a passport for $600.00 USD in the USA yet. That was my negativity moment. Sorry I will move on
They should make it with diamond keyboard.
Posted via CB10
Ridiculous!

Contest time!!!!!!!

That Gold Passport is BEAUTIFUL!
...I mean, if you've got the cash to burn. Wow.
How about same treatment for RED Passport?
@jdesignz...Red and Gold...Yes!!!
That would be a little hard to do. They would probably have to replace the black metal pieces.
Isn't gold softer than stainless steel though?
Posted from my TARDIS!
Electroplating won't make the stainless any softer.

It sure is an ugly thing, aint it?
If it had a normal 4row kb it would be the (almost) perfect device.
It doesn't have 4row kb and it's beautiful. Lol!! I bet you don't own one yet.
IMHO it's "(almost) perfect device".
For that price I'd expect the same treatment for the frets. I understand they don't disassemble the phone but for my cash they would have to.
Posted two-handed via Passport
Totally agree! And it kinda looks awkward without the frets done in gold or platinum and the rest of the phone is.
Look! It's Zedzilla 30!
Thank you, the silver frets simply ruins it.
Nice.

I'll take a blue Classic on VZW for $450 Alex.

It seems appropriate that the world's best communication devices are being fancied up for the well to do's. I am quite content knowing that my $599 passport communicates just as effectively as the $2000 gold-plated versions. Now, what Porsche does, is a bit more interesting to me. They actually differentiate their devices physically, as well as in the software department.
Posted via my Global Communicator, the fantastic PassPort
Dammit, I just want AT&T to release the phone, and stop sitting on it until it is no longer relevant. Absolute bs.
Posted via CB10
If the shares of BlackBerry triple I'm getting the gold one for sure !

@3MIKE...X3 sounds good,lol
Yes
Still wanting to see the PassPorsche being created, but not $ure whether I'd buy one... :-)
Can you spell

Just for the lining......no thanks. Make the keys out of the platinum then we have a deal.

I know what I'm buying with my tax money.
Waiting for the official 10.3
This made me laugh LOL :)
Crackberry should have a contest for one of these.
Posted via CB10
Who knows.. maybe Gold Genie will offer.. they have in the past. ;)
.
Posted via CB10
Rose gold would be pimp! Sign me up to win the contest that doesn't exist at the moment but might in the future. ;)
Look! It's Zedzilla 30!
Wow, behind N4BB again...what gives?
Via The BlackBerry Z30 experience!
I actually added more to the story by rounding up several of the retailers doing it including Gold Genie and their inclusion of rose gold, platinum, and the Porsche Design P'9983 but if you can't see that then so be it. tips hat and bids you goodnight. :)
***tipping intensifies!!!
Posted via CB10
LOL
You don't have to defend yourself to these vultures Bla1ze, keep up the good work. If you could also tell BlackBerry that I am going to need an all touch replacement on VZW for my Z10 in April I would appreciate it. Please and thank you lol
Posted via CB10
Just get what the Kardashian has... it's referenced in Blaze's article as well hehe.
Posted via CB10
Don't count on it. Hell can't even get a Passport on VZW since they and sprint still CDMA. Gonna force me to ATT and don't want the rounded one. Want it as it should be square.
Posted via CB10
Agreed! Need an all-touch powerhouse on Verizon!
Posted via CB10
Hey Blaze how does the space bar key feel on your red passport? Did it feel half worn out right out of the box?
Posted via CB10
Maybe you should have your own website or blog or forum since you might be able to post these things faster than anyone else.
Posted via CB10
Wow a true troll.. blackberry fan knocking on blackberry writers (or fake account looking to stir @&+! up). I bet bb30000 is one of those people that only ready titles/headings too. What gives?
So do you comment on N4bb, if crackberry writers come out with an article first? Maybe you should become a writer as well so we can all have up to the second updates.
Sorry...couldn't resist
Posted via CB10
Which one to buy first?
Posted via CB10
The PassPorsche in platinum... :-)
