BlackBerry Priv gets $100 price cut in US, CAD 150 in Canada

Himanshu, 17 June, 2016

Update: Yes, it is a Father's Day deal indeed, with the offer being valid until June 20. So, you may want to act fast.

Original story follows:

BlackBerry is offering a discount of $100 on the Priv in what seems to be a Father's Day deal from the company. The deal brings the price of the Android powered smartphone to $549 in the US.

Aside from the US, the promo is also available in Canada where the phone is currently going for CAD 749, which is in fact a discount of CAD 150 given the CAD 899 official price tag the handset carries in the country.

It's worth mentioning that those in the US can currently get the Priv for a far lower price - retailer Newegg has the phone listed for just $375.
