    I received my yesterday and immediately noticed that there was already a small crack at the bottom left of my passport screen. I called Digital River for replacement but I they said they don't do replacement for passport. I have to order the new one. But I got mine with the coupon for $450 and if i returned mine and order the new one, they said i would have to pay full retail price. What can I do guys????

    I think some screaming and yelling will be necessary to solve this problem. Unfortunate how it has to come to that lol. That's absolutely unacceptable

    They do replacements for the Passport, through the RMA process.

    This is sad if your device actually came cracked, otherwise..

    Idk what to do. I was on the phone with horrible customer service for haft hour. They said that there is no way for me to get a new one with the discounted price. I just back to Blackberry after over 10 years of using android coz the passport. But Blackberry is killing themselves by using Digital River as up front store. I am wondering why Blackberry does not run their own store at least like Dell, HP....I could not stand with digital customer service. In 2014 and you could not get replacement for the faulty product. I am thinking of returning mine but I wanna get a new one with the discounted price even though the Coupon was a mistake. But if I order a new one, I would get from Amazon.

    Call BlackBerry they will do advanced rma. I did it for myself for reason way less serious (almost impossible to see dead pixel). Now I have two passports sitting on my desk, with one still waiting for a return shipping label from BlackBerry. I also ordered with coupon in canada. I was never backordered, so got it over a week ago

    You have physical damage on your phone, which they're going to say you caused.

    Mine didn't have physical damage, just a creaky back cover. They replaced it. They took my card information and held money. They sent me a new Passport and as soon as they received my defective one, they released the hold on the funds.

    But if you broke your Passport screen accidentally, they're not going to do it for you. They'll ship you a new Passport and then when you send this one back, they will charge your credit card because it's physically damaged.

    Advanced rma is when they ship you a device before you return your defective one, so you can still have a phone while you wait for replacement. The replacement does not come with a retail box though, just the phone itself. When did you receive your phone? Call asap and tell them of the issue. I will get phone number when I get home from work

    I would call until I get a replacement. When I first called, I got same response they gave you, that I would have to return and then reorder. I had to explain three times that because I ordered with coupon, I be losing $200. After she finally understood, I asked to speak with supervisor. She came back 5 min later and transfered me to rma department

    Did you call Blackberry or Digital River?
    You should call Blackberry and explained to them you received the phone with a crack screen.
    Don't delay and ask them for an advance RMA.

    Is that a protector on your phone cause they didn't come in blue? I notice that there is a grip section right where the crack is. Installing the protector might have cracked the screen. What protector is it?

    I have never seen a Blackberry come with a protector already installed. Can you show a full shot of the phone and protector?

    The OP may be talking about the screen film that comes on the Passport when shipped, a few people on here leave them on, myself included
