BlackBerry has introduced a limited luxury edition of its Passport smartphone. The new edition is available in black and gold colors, and cover done in Valextra leather. BlackBerry has priced the limited edition at USD 899.
“It says, “I mean business and get things done,” and says it with style,” says BlackBerry in a post. While the limited edition has only 50 units (each for black and gold), a third-party company Goldgenie is already offering BlackBerry Passport in gold, rose gold and platinum variants, priced at approximately USD 1000.
"Others are looking to luxury customization company Goldgenie to do the work. It’ll set you back a cool £1,247.50, or US$2,020. Ah, the things we do to make our tech shiny," adds BlackBerry.
Goldgenie, a third-party company that customizes high-tech products with high-end materials, already offers the BlackBerry Passport in gold, rose gold or platinum versions, which are priced around $1,000 each.
