Earlier in April, BlackBerry permanently reduced the price of the Priv, the company's first Android-powered smartphone, to $649.99 in the United States, from the original price of $699.99.

That price, however, could still be too steep for some BlackBerry fans who are looking to get their hands on the device.

A new offer listed on Daily Steals will now allow users to get the BlackBerry Priv at an even cheaper price of $449.99, which is a 31 percent discount or $200 off from the smartphone's new price tag.

The BlackBerry Priv being offered in the listing is branded as an AT&T device, but it is an unlocked version. As an unlocked GSM handset, buyers can choose to use it within T-Mobile's network, if they prefer the Un-Carrier over AT&T.

Verizon subscribers will not be able to take advantage of the offer though, as their carrier operates on CDMA. Sprint subscribers are also not in luck as also a CDMA carrier, with the company even previously revealing that it will not carry the BlackBerry Priv despite previously promising that it would.

Interested buyers will have to hurry though, as the deal only has four days left at the time of writing. It should be noted that the BlackBerry Priv being sold are brand new units and not refurbished ones.

The BlackBerry Priv, which has a slide-out physical keyboard that is a trademark feature of BlackBerry devices, adds access to the full Android ecosystem and its apps, along with added security to protect the data that users will store in the smartphone.

The device features a 5.4-inch dual-curved AMOLED screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4, with the smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 and 3 GB of RAM. The BlackBerry Priv also packs an 18 MP rear-facing camera, a 2 MP front-facing camera, a 3,410 mAh battery and an internal 32 GB memory that can be expanded up to an additional 2 TB.
