Free Motorola Droid 2 (Verizon)

Motorola Droid 2About a year ago, Motorola released its Droid 2 smartphone to much fanfare--at a price of $200 with a 2-year Verizon contract. Our smartphone expert, Ginny Mies, was suitably impressed, giving it 4 of 5 stars in her review (though she wasn't crazy about the camera). Right now, Wirefly is offering the Droid 2 for free, with a new Verizon Wireless account.

Toshiba Thrive 32GB Tablet, $560

Toshiba ThriveToshiba's Thrive tablet runs on Honeycomb, and it distinguishes itself from the rest of the Android pack with its extreme connectivity. This tablet is packed with ports--SD Card slot, plus Mini-USB, USB, and HDMI--which helped it earn 4 of 5 stars in our recent review. Toshiba sells the 32GB version for $580, but BuyDig.com is taking $20 off the price--and you don't pay tax or shipping.

Dell 1250c Color LED Printer, $147

Dell 1250cThe Dell 1250c puts quality color printing within range of lower-budget users... as long as those users are low volume, since ink cartridges are fairly expensive for this color LED printer. When we reviewed the Dell 1250c last year we gave it 2.5 stars--and it cost about $230. You can now get the printer for $147 from OnSale, which might help to offset the high ink prices.
