Black Friday is only a few days away and retailers are betting that huge discounts on popular technology products will drive more consumers to purchase items online and in-store. We've been covering some of the best deals on in-demand devices, including gaming consoles like Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, as well as smartphone offers from Verizon, Sprint and AT&T.
While you might be hard pressed to find a Black Friday deal from major U.S. carriers on BlackBerry smartphones, that doesn't mean you can't score one directly from the handset maker. BlackBerry has announced its Black Friday sale will allow customers to save up to 53 percent off select smartphones.
