It’s only been one day since BlackBerry officially introduced its flagship smartphone, the Passport, and the device is already available for purchase in some countries.

If you happen to live in the UK, then you can now purchase the BlackBerry Passport for no less than £530 (€680 / $865) outright via Selfridges. The UK-based retailer is exclusively selling the handset in this country, so don’t try to look for it at other resellers for at least one week.

Keep in mind that Selfridges will only ship the BlackBerry Passport in the UK, so no international deliveries for this one sadly.

In the same piece of news, BlackBerry has confirmed that the Passport is also available for purchase in Canada exclusively through TELUS carrier. In the United States, the only carrier that will offer the BlackBerry Passport will be AT&T, but there are no details on when the smartphone will be launched.

Luckily, all these exclusivity deals are time limited, which means more carriers and retailers will start selling the BlackBerry Passport in the next couple of weeks.

The European version of BlackBerry Passport seems to be the most expensive, as AT&T will sell the device for only $599 (€470 / £365), while TELUS asks $700 CAD ($630 USD / €495 / £385) upfront.
