Blackberry Passport $499USD with Free Shipping from Amazon. Not a bad deal considering most online stores such as Kogan are selling at $700+
CamelCamelCamel.
look at those corners, it's like a shuriken.
This only means the original price is too expensive, they should have launched with this price.
$500 US for a Blackberry……too good to be true
So is the one I can't find in any Optus store, band 28 compatible? Or is it identical to the US one?
Blackberry Passport is available to order with any Optus local store.. let me know if you have any difficulty and which location you tried..
white and red are more expensive.
Wait 6 months and it will be clearance as less then half the price atleast. Blackberry is dead.
Sounds like a broken record
its a shame it cannot integrate with android. i loved my bb 9000 bold.
Is Blackberry still a thing? I'm surprised they haven't gone under yet.
Aren't they allowing access to Android/Google Play store?
The Enterprise & Personal profile segments is good.
Not officially, but there are ways to access play store and install apps (including apps you've purchased before etc).

They should rename their brand to strawberry to compete with Apple.
Blackberry is dead.
If it's good enough for Frank Underwood, it's good enough for me.
Passport ain't for me though, I'm waiting for a Z30 successor.
Same here, z30 certainly does a great job for now though :)
Shipping is US$8.13
Nevertheless, good deal compared to Australian prices
Just FYI if you are on Telstra network, read this:

It supports LTE 700. I don't see the problem…
It's not that simple, I'm afraid. Telstra's new "4GX" rollout is LTE 700 but very importantly, it is FDD-LTE aka Band 28.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G_Australia#Networks
Based on the GSM Arena specs for the Passport as linked above (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20) it supports the North American 700 LTE (aka Band 17 from memory) but not Band 28 used by Telstra.
This means it will be fine on the "normal" 1800Mhz LTE bands used by Telstra and others, but won't have access to 4GX.
