For those hoping to find a deal for the BlackBerry Passport during Black Friday, you’re in luck. The Canadian firm revealed that it will slash the Passport’s price by $200, a 29 percent discount, through Nov. 30, effectively selling the handset for $500.
The Passport is equipped with a decidedly-square 4.5-inch, 1440 x 1440 pixel resolution display. Powering the handset is a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, which brings with it the Adreno 330 GPU. The 3GB of RAM BlackBerry added makes sure multitasking is a breeze, while the 32GB of onboard storage, 25GB of which is accessible, makes sure you have plenty of space. If that’s not enough, however, there is a Micro SD card slot capable of accepting up to 128GB cards. You’ll find a 13-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel camera on the front, with the 3220mAh battery keeping the lights on.

If you’re interested in taking advantage of the deal, you’ll have to keep a few things in mind. For one, it won’t work with Verizon or Sprint. In addition, in the spirit of Black Friday, the deal only applies to the black Passport. You can get the deal here. Additionally, if you want to switch from you iPhone to the new Passport, BlackBerry will give you up to $550 for your old iPhone.
