Unlocked BlackBerry Passport price cut by BlackBerry in Canada and the U.S.

If you've been waiting for a price cut before plunking down your hard-earned cash to buy an unlocked BlackBerry Passport, tonight we have some good news. For a limited time only, those in the U.S. and Canada can buy the top-of-the-line 'Berry for $499 USD and $599 CAD, respectively. The prices reflect a discount of $50 USD in the states and $100 CAD in Canada. The deals are available directly from BlackBerry's own ShopBlackBerry website.

Just in case you've forgotten the specs, the BlackBerry Passport is equipped with a 4.5-inch screen with a 1:1 aspect ratio and a 1440 x 1440 resolution. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC is under the hood, carrying a quad-core 2.2GHz CPU and the Adreno 330 GPU. 3GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of internal storage. The 128GB capacity microSD slot is available for those requiring additional memory. A 13MP camera graces the back of the unit and features OIS, and a front-facing 2MP shooter is ready to snap your selfies. A 3450mAh battery keeps the lights on.

The BlackBerry Passport comes with BlackBerry Assistant, BlackBerry Blend (which allows users to view content from the phone over a desktop computer), and the Amazon Appstore. The latter is where you can find Android powered apps that will run on your Passport.

As we said, the deal is available for a limited time only, although no ending date was listed by the manufacturer. We suggest that if you are interested in picking up the Passport for the sale price, you pull the trigger soon before it is too late.
