Newegg has this 16GB USB 2.0 portable flash drive with retractable USB connector for only $19.99 shipped. This is about half the cost that I could find in a quick search around the Internet (Amazon has it for $29.27).

Not too long ago these BlackBerry charging pods were going for in the neighborhood of $50. Now Newegg has a BlackBerry Curve Charging Pod for $7.99 with free shipping when you use the code FS32073. The Pod does not come with a charger so you’ll have to use your own by plugging it into the back of the base. This deal seems to come in and out of stock - so if it’s gone when you look - add your name to the auto notify and Newegg will email you when it’s back. Limit of 2 per person.

The holidays are coming (as if you didn’t already know this) - and here’s a hot deal for the baseball fan(s) in your life. MLB’s official web site has 30% off damn near everything. Official overpriced team jersey, trinkets, DVDS, you name it. Sale stops 11/20 at 3am - and my guess is that the selection is going to get very slim. If you’re into baseball, don’t delay. This 30% off special won’t stack with other coupons so don’t try. Happy Holidays.

Don’t be fooled by Costco’s “limited time” offer on this Garmin Nuvi 750. The last time I saw Costco discount a new Garmin, the pricing stuck around past the expiration. This is an online price only so don’t be surprised if your store (temporarily) has it marked higher. The Nuvi 750 is Garmin’s latest model and includes North American maps (preloaded), MP3 player, MSN Direct, voice directions including street names and Garmin Locate which marks your position when you remove the device from the windshield (helps avoid Senior Moments when you emerge from the store and ask “now where did I park my car”?).

Amazon is offering the HTC Fuze for the new contract price of $149 after 2 year contract and $30 rebate. The phone is shown as available in 4 to 6 weeks, however my experience with Amazon is their stock often fills and ships sooner. If you can wait and would like to save 50% off your neighborly AT&T store cost (which has the phone for the new contract amount of $299 after $50 rebate) check out this Amazon deal. Always, phone deals require a new line of service and minimum service commitment of 2 years.

Here’s a quirky stocking stuffer that’s a crowd pleaser for ages. This battery powered fan displays up to 6 lines of 16 characters each (total of 96 characters) when the fan is powered on. Sure it’s going to be annoying keying in all those letters but think how much fun your kids could have flashing messages to passing motorists from the back seat of your car!

Kids bugging you for a cell phone? Mine are only 9 and I’m getting the daily update about another school friend with their own phone. This Motorola Razr V3 prepaid phone is a great choice for kids who may not be responsible enough for a regular phone (if you lose the phone it can be cheaply replaced) or for situations where you don’t want to enter into a two year cell phone contract. This quad band phone includes a .3 megapixel camera, 176 x 220 TFT LCD and Bluetooth v1.2. Hard to believe that this phone cost $600 when it was first introduced back in 2004. T-Mobile kicks in a $25 prepaid airtime card to get you started.
