If you're ready to start a new cell phone contract, Wirefly has the Research in Motion BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone for AT&T Wireless.

The phone is free after an instant discount if you start a new account contract; the phone would cost $200 if you went directly through AT&T.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 holds the number five spot on our current chart of the Top 10 cell phones, and we consider it one of the best BlackBerry devices yet. The Bold 9700 offers a slim design, a touchpad, and BlackBerry OS 5.0, among several other appealing features.

You can find HP's 13.3-inch Pavilion Dm3-1130us ultraportable laptop at OfficeDepot for $500 after instant savings and a mail-in rebate. This model typically retails around $550.

This sleek system is thinner than a typical laptop (it's less than 1 inch thick and weighs just 4.2 pounds) but more powerful than your average netbook--yet it doesn't cost nearly as much as most ultraportables. The Pavilion Dm3 has a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo dual-core processor and 4GB of memory (though no optical drive), and it comes with Windows 7 installed.

With the purchase of the Xbox 360 Arcade at the Dell site ($200), you can now receive a $50 promotional gift card--perfect for accessorizing or for buying games.

It comes with a wireless controller, has an HDMI output, and can stream digital media from an MP3 player or a PC. If you're having difficulty choosing between systems--or if you want to understand how the Arcade measures up to the Xbox 360 Pro and Xbox 360 Elite, view our price and feature comparison chart.

Newegg has the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB SATA 2.5-inch laptop hard drive on sale for $60, which drops to $50 when you enter coupon code EMCYNZT26 (versus $80 and up elsewhere).
