If you want style over affordability, you can grab the BlackBerry Passport, which is now available for just $249, down from $499. BlackBerry also sells the Silver Edition Passport for $299, though the smartphone sells for $549 when not subject to a promo offer.

One of the newest high-end smartphones launched by BlackBerry, the Priv is usually up for grabs for $649, but during the Black Friday sale you can score one for just $299 upfront.
