OfficeMax this week (9/4/11 to 9/10/11) has the BlackBerry Curve 8520 on sale for $79. This is $50 off the normal $129. Expect that this model is likely going to be replaced within the next few months as RIM begins to roll out newer versions. Virgin Mobile is a prepaid (no contract) providers of cellular services owned by Sprint and uses their frequencies. What’s attractive about this prepaid carrier is data is included in the lowest monthly price of $35/mo for 300 minutes which includes your unlimited BlackBerry data and unlimited texting.

Use one of the readily available $10 coupons to bring your cost to $69.

Woot! has this 8000 mAh rechargeable battery on sale for $39 today (8/11/10) only. Add in $5 for shipping and you’re still about $40 cheaper than the best reputable price I could find on Amazone.

They advertise this as a notebook battery backup – however I’ve been using mine for about the last year as a “super extended” battery for my iPhone, BlackBerry and Android smartphones. In the time I’ve used it during lengthy day trips I’ve never been able to completely drain the battery to empty.

This ships with a large assortment of interchangeable tips so you probably can connect to just about any device you own.

What I’ve done is use my regular smartphone cable and plugged it into the USB port on this battery backup device. Works like a charm!

I’ve largely used this to recharge smartphones — so I cannot vouch for how well it will recharge a netbook computer (which is one of the things it’s advertised to do).

As a super extended battery backup — I recommend it. If you have kids who take their iPod Touches in the car on long car trips this can save you from having to drag a power cord from the front seat of the car into the back.

Remember – this deal is up for 8/11/10 only.

Need mobile email – but aren’t quite ready for the $30 monthly extra fee that most carriers charge for the privilege of using a Smartphone ? Here’s a lukewarm deal on a Peak Pronto Mobile Email device. Through February 15, 2010 you can buy one for $59 and get another free. The catch? You’ll still be forced to pay $15/month for the push email- though there’s no pesky long term contract and no early termination fee.

This is a reasonable deal for someone who wants email on the go without the extra monthly cost (and termination fee) that carriers impose on smartphone users. If you’re convinced that Peek is the way to go – and you only need one Peek device -  check the Amazon Unlimited deal for $290 that includes a Peek Pronto and unlimited lifetime email.

Worth noting that you can also call Peek and upgrade your freebie Pronto to lifetime thus netting you an unlimited lifetime Peek for $249 (the cost of Peek’s unlimited on their web site)

I’m long past caring how pretty (or thin) by external battery pack looks. What I care about is how long it lasts and how many times I can re-charge. The new Zagg Sparq (normally $129 and on sale for $69 shipped) claims to offer 4 FULL recharges of your iPhone. There are two USB ports that accommodate the ubiquitous USB charging cables that seem to accompany most devices.

Then, unplug the ZAGGsparq and it carries multiple charges for any personal electronic device that can be powered by a USB plug – up to four complete recharges for a power-hungry Apple iPhone®. Perfect for everything from cell phones to hand-held gaming systems, dead batteries and expensive spares will be a thing of the past.

The small size of the ZAGGsparq makes it perfect for slipping into pockets and bags, and the convenience of carrying universal USB power on-the-go makes it an indispensable electronics accessory. Perfect for travelers, businesspeople, and anyone else who makes extensive use of their devices.

According to Zaqq the battery is a 6,000 mAh Lithium Polymer capable of  4 complete re-charges for the iPhone. And it also powers digital gaming systems and camcorders.

Amazon introduced PayPhrase at the end of October 2009. This new authentication system is based on a unique phrase that’s tied to a default payment and shipping address in your Amazon account. You can setup multiple PayPhrases for your Amazon account and each of them can contain separate payment and shipment information. Spending limits can also be entered so, for example, you might create a PayPhrase for the kids with a pre-set limit that equals their allowance for the week.
Now Amazon is rolling out a new promotion that applies either a 5% or 10% discount against purchases made atcertain participating merchants in their store. Look for the CashBack with PayPhrase buttons when you checkout at Amazon.com or participating merchant sites. Place your order using PayPhrase wherever you see the CashBack with PayPhrase buttons. Orders must ship by December 31, 2009 for a purchase to be deemed eligible for the CashBack Rewards program.

This morning I received an offer for 25% off a Squaretrade Warranty good for a maximum of $40 savings. Squaretrade provides extended warranty coverage for almost all devices and unlike most retail outlets offers protection (sometimes for an added fee) against water damage and other typically uncovered catastrophes. The company also provides after-the-fact coverage for purchase that you make over eBay. Use coupon code WARRANTYSANTA which is good for the first 2,000 uses. As with all extended warranties, be sure to read the coverage and understand what is covered (and what’s not).
