I hope you guys fuelled up on the turkey yesterday, because Black Friday is upon us, and that means some serious savings for everyone, as well as unruly mobs thrashing over one another for the cream of the crop. Even if you don’t have any Christmas shopping to do, now is a good time to grab some cheap phones, and you don’t even have to brave the crowds if you shop online. Besides, who wants to go out and get trampled to death? Honestly, that’s a poor way to follow up a fine Thanksgiving. Here are some of the top deals we’ve been able to find on the web for phones this Black Friday – if you see anything particularly awesome today, be sure to leave a comment for your fellow shoppers.
