Any word on where we can pick those bad boys up too or if they are even out yet?
They aren't available yet, and the Sprint reps I've talked to didn't know when they were coming. I would assume with the phone release since RS is doing their accessories credit with pre-order. Just speculation though.
FWIW, I've talked to 2 of my local radioshacks (in Oklahoma) that said they were pretty sure they would have 0 accessories associated with the EVO on release, and expect you to use it on generic junk (they phrased it a bit different).
Also, one of the stores told me I had to redeem the credit with my EVO purchase. Lameface.
My rep told me at Radio Shack in Statesboro, GA that they would have Evo 4G accessoies in on or before the 4th, and if you didn't use your $20 then it converts to gift card.
If it doesn't covert to a gift card you can buy a bluetooth headset then return it later for store credit or exchange it for something else. I talked to the Radio Shack people as well and they are very unsure what they will have because they don't have their inventory yet. The last guy I talked to said he was certain that they would have car chargers and maybe one type of case.
if you find a good car dock / cradle, post your find pls.
Seidioonline.com has both coming along with batteries.
Apparently Best Buy has received all the accessories. They're saving them for launch day, though.

Standard Dock Backordered. Just an FYI for anyone wanting to purchase one now.
Well that stinks....I was about to order 2 of them. DO you happen to know when they will be in?
The rep on the phone i talked to couldnt give me a date. What she said was that if it isnt available after 60 days, they'll refund my money. i can go online and check the status but havent yet.
I just ordered 2 from Amazon (in stock). They have it cheaper then AT&T.
This price has now been corrected on the AT&T website.
For USA users:
AT&T seems to have an error in the pricing on their website for the galaxy note s-pen holder kit (includes both the s-pen and the holder.) The item is supposed to be about $50 (US), but is currently on their website for only $29. (The same price as just the spare s-pen.) Includes free 2-day shipping.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...ails/?LOSGId=accessoryBucket&q_sku=sku5610275
I don't know if the AT&T version will fit properly in the international note, but I'll be finding out in a couple days. If not, it'll be going back.
Take care
Gary
Thanx,
Just ordered one

Awesome find. Ordered one.
I don't care if it's slightly different from the international version since I don't want to have my phone without the s pen in there anyway.
This comes with the s pen and holder. I'll keep this in my bag, and keep the original pen in the phone.

Thanks so much!

Ordered one as well, thanks much for the $20 savings on this item.
I ordered one too. Any other links to other accessories for the Note, I cant find anything else on AT&T Site...
I too ordered one, I already lost mine after one week of use!
Update: Shipped 2/16 9:36pm from Fort Worth, TX via USPS

Did you actually read the OP before responding with this? It's also available through amazon, expansys, and several other locations. The point of this thread is that it can be had for quite a discount via AT&T's website due to what is probably a pricing error. It was a communication to other users who are able to order from AT&T that they might want to take advantage of that price.
The thread is NOT a general thread announcing the availability of s-pen kits, not a "post links to ebay sites" thread, or anything else.
Does it REALLY make sense, in a thread titled "s-pen holder kit for 29.99 (USD) (in USA)" to post a link to a ebay reseller in korea who will sell the same kit for 41 USD plus shipping?
add me to the list as well.
Good looking out. Beggars can't be choosers but wish they had the holder kit with the white pen. Also I wonder if the low cost has anything to do with Sammy trying to push out the rest of the old pens without the grey button.
Good price for a spare. In for one as well. =)
An update...
AT&T, in their usual and customary fashion, screwed up even this most simplistic of orders. Even though my order was completely processed before 3pm ET on Wed, they didn't get the package to USPS until late Thursday night. Then, instead of 2-day USPS Priority Mail, I'm getting what appears to be 5 day delivery. (I called AT&T and they basically told me "too bad")
So, when that package arrives next week sometime, it'll be refused. I've already called my credit card company to contest the charge and file a fraud complaint. (The order promised 2-day delivery and that wasn't what was given.)
In the meantime, I drove over to my local AT&T store and managed to get them to price-match the 29 USD price on the AT&T website. (Normally, it'd be 49 USD.) (I think the fact that I let the store manager play with my international note helped to get him to match the price. He had an AT&T version and was amazed at how much smoother and faster mine was compared to his. LTE isn't available in my area, so that's a non-issue.)
So, the AT&T purchased kit fits perfectly with the international Galaxy Note (IGN.) The S-Pen itself is completely identical to what came with my IGN, except that it has a gray button instead of a black button. The adapter is a bit fatter than I expected, but that's a good thing for my hands.
Now I have the best of all worlds: an s-pen with the gray button. A full size s-pen adapter, and yet another valid fraud complaint against AT&T.
Take care
Gary
Thanks, good to know that it's an identical pen. Having said that, can the pen 's tip be tuck into the pen when not in use? Like some sort of twist action, making it a truly useful actual pen? I would not want the pen holder to always leave the pen's tip out in the open out of fear that it might get scuffed, etc.
This way, I don't have to struggly removing the S-Pen on my current phone and just use this one that's purchased to take notes in class!

There does not seem to be any way for the tip to retract into the adapter. Honestly, though, I wouldn't be too concerned about it - I don't think it would leak ink.

Thanks! Good lookin out and just ordered one for my IGN.
Yes, good deal and probably a typo since ATT has the pen alone for the same price. still Expansys usa has it for a little bit more with free shipping and would trust them to send it on time and correctly than ATT who can't even price it correctly. Also I do not want to give money to any carrier.
Just got back from the AT&T store and had a chance to play with the 900 while I was there. Spoke with the manager for a few minutes who mentioned that there 'may' possibly be some sort sales promotion for the 900 that will soon be announced at all AT&T stores. Seemed like he knew what it was, but wasn't giving up the goods. Also he alluded to an earlier than April 8th release date.
Just throwing it out there.
Well, for what it's worth, if you go to the Nokia site they have a countdown clock. The clock points to Friday, not Sunday.
Nokia supposedly booked times square for a release party on Friday at 7pm.
For what it's worth, I stopped by two ATT stores on the way home:
One swore the launch was the 14th, and if I preordered, I'd be able to pick it up that day.
The second said if I preordered now, my phone would be available in 14-21 days according to their system.
Figure I'll just stop by on Monday and pick one up from one of the worthless ATT stores in my area. May have to stop by on Friday/Saturday as well as see what's going on, as a launch on the 8th when the stores are closed has all the employees baffled.
Promotions
My Understanding is only "Corporate" Stores are going to get the device early. I tried to preorder The Lumia 900 online as an upgrade. I could not do it online and was directed by customer care to go to one of 3 Corporate stores in my area (Fresno, Ca)On 3-30-12 to complete the order. One of the reps I know there said Nokia is pulling all the stops. All the reps in store have Lumia's, some black ones, some Cyan ones. A rep from Nokia actually came to FRESNO to train and show the features of the phone and share marketing tactics. The rep said that this was a first as all the training for other phones, including the I Phone took place at out of town meetings. He said the Nokia is going first class all the way and the promotion in store will be substantial, and was confident they would have product in store by Easter Weekend.

Is the promo free phone on new plan ? That is already known. Also Amazon has the phone for a penny. If they have something else as a promo beyond this, that would be pretty amazing.

Wish I knew, but he wouldn't say. Just said to keep my ears open as it would be announced soon. I'm hoping its something good, and not just an accessory or two thrown in.
If you wait until it's available at Costco, they usually throw in a car charger and case and tax is only charged on the price that you pay, not the retail price of the phone.
Not sure if it's going to be available at Costco on launch date though. A few days wait might be worth it though to save some extra cash and get some freebies.
Any word on the promo ?
Haven't heard anything on my end. Plan on stopping by the local att store after work to see if I can prod more info out of them.
I'll take some nifty new Nokia Lumia 900 accessories like a case or bumper.
$50.00 with 2 year contract at all corporate stores in New England (including upgrade, which I did)...
Even though their price tags say $100 (or $99.99, whatever)

Update Nov 26, 2012:
I apologize that I got everyone's hopes up about these products being available through Samsung and I'm upset that this is all happening. However, I'm more upset that I was either misled by Samsung with wrong product information or that the products do indeed exist and are just sitting in boxes in a warehouse. Either way, I'm taking it upon myself to take this as far as I need too for verification that these items are not in the possession of Samsung. I'm still convinced that the Associate I talked to on Nov 13th was knowledgeable and understood what he was relaying back to me and had indeed found the products Google was previously selling. When an individual confirms multiple times the phone I have, the accessories' make, model, wording, and pricing, and even calculates the shipping and total price for both products - it has me very curious as to how he found them.
SO...I called Samsung again today and was on the phone for an hour and a half explaining the situation, the wording, the confirmation call from Google, etc to an Associate. After I'm sure I exhausted her...she admitted she could not help me any further I asked to go up the next level. I told her I'm willing to go as high as Samsung will let me to find out why I was quoted pricing with items that matched - verbatim - what Google gave me for my phone. I've left a voice-mail with the Samsung Accessories Supervisor and took down his name and extension so that if I do not receive a call within 48 hours (standard business etiqute in my opinion) I'll be calling again.
At the very least I owe it to this community to do my due diligence and inquire information as hard as I can (legally, professionally, and politely) to work towards a true answer on all of this.
Again I apologize that I provided information that led to some anticipated excitement only to result in frustration. I'll update with any information I'm able to get.

Original Post from October 31, 2012
Just last Thursday I saw the vehicle dock with Pogo pins (for the GSM GN) was available in the Google Play Store. Being the stupid me I decided to sleep on it and buy it later or put it on my Christmas list. I should have known with the upcoming Nexus 4 announcement - that something would change...and it did. All three docks (Vehicle Dock with pogo pins, Portrait Desk Dock with USB charging, and Landscape Desk Dock with pogo pins) are no longer sold through Google Play.
I talked to Google Play Device customer support today for 30 minutes getting as much information on it as possible. (And I must say the customer support was amazing). Here is was I was told from the rep (which could or could not be correct)
All Docks and Vehicle mounts were sent back to Samsung after Monday's announcement. (She had to put me on hold to search around for this information)
Samsung should still be selling the Vehcile mount with the pogo pins even though it's not listed on their website (at least I can't find it)
Samsung should also have the desktop dock with the pogo pins (couldn't find that on their website either but I didn't spend too much time by this piont)
The Google Rep gave me a number to call at Samsung (Not sure who will be on the other end) who she says should be able to sell me these devices if I wanted them. I'm going to probably call them tomorrow, don't have time today, and see what all I can find out.
If anyone else is interested in the phone number that the Google Play Rep gave me PM me and I'd be glad to send it to you.
If anyone has any stores they come across that are selling these two docks (Vehicle and Desk dock with pogo pins), and not the crappy USB docking, please post them.
I'll post any updates that I find out on this in case other are interested just like me. I was really hoping for some great Christmas Presents so I didn't have to spend it out of pocket.

While overall the support I've recieved from Google over the years has been very positive -- it's interesting you bring this up. I asked the rep I talked too specifically for the model number and the response was "GSM Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock". She was really nice and had been more than accommodating during our talk so I didn't feel the need to do a "you're joking right?" response.
I'll look around and if I come up with the Samsung model number I'll post it here.

Do you happen to still have a record of that in your Amazon account that would have the model number?
Alright after lots of digging around online I'm 99% sure the GSM Vehicle dock with the pogo pins is model number: ECS-K1F2BE made by Samsung.
It took me awhile but I finally found one on amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/Holder-ECS-K1F2BE-Samsung-I9250-Nexus/dp/B006GJ5S2E
I also finally found it on Samsung's website:
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/accessories/ECS-K1F2BEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
But BeerChameleon is correct; prices have really gone up. Now I really regret not buying one from Google just last week.
Just in case someone wanted to try and get it cheaper than the $80 on Amazon.

I went to get the pogo dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus on the Play store a few months ago and it said that they were sold out. It said "coming soon" though. So, I put in my email address to be notified when it's available. Then, like you said, it disappeared. They are on Ebay for twice the price. How hard can it be to get these to customers?

I'm just gonna wait until Samsung starts liquidation... it should be soon enough.
I finally got around to calling Samsung today regarding the vehicle and desk dock. I explained to the rep that I have a GSM GN and had already talked directly with Google. Google referred me to them because they sent their inventory back to Samsung.
After some searching he did confirm that Samsung does have both docks in stock even though they are not listed on their website. You'll have to call in to make a purchase. He quoted me:
$19.99 for the Desktop Dock (with pogo pins) + tax and shipping.
$35.99 (I think, I was driving and lost my note) for the Vehicle Dock (with pogo pins) + tax and shipping.
I'm pretty sure the $35 for the vehicle mount is correct as I remember he mentioning the total for both would be around $55. (and some change).
I specifically had him double check that both of these devices came with the pogo pin connections and he confirmed they did. He said by noting to Samsung you have the GSM GN they will default to these docks.
Shipping was actually very reasonable. To ship to Texas it was around $3 for standard 5 business day shipping.
Anyway, If I remember right these prices are much cheaper than what Google was selling them for. I'm sure Samsung wants to get rid of them. If anyone happens to talk to Samsung and gets different prices please post it here. Or, if someone finds them listed at another retailer for cheaper let us all know.
Hopefully they still have some after Christmas when I'll have some extra cash to spend.
I just called Samsung at 1-888-987-4357 Accessory sales (option 3 then 1 than 2) and the only desktop dock that they have in the system is for the Verizon I515 GN.
The Samsung number for the GSM GN I9250 Desktop dock is EDD-D1F2BEGSTD.
If anybody gets one from Samsung let us know where you called and who you spoke to.
Here is a post with all of the accessories that were available for the GSM GN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372908

I don't know, maybe someone else will but my guess is no unless there is a way to adjust the depth of the base the phones rests on. I have a Moto Atrix 2 with the desktop dock and it's made to adjust the height of the USB port so it can work with a case. But I don't think the samsung dock for the GSM GN does that.

Just an FYI, Samsung offered me the same equivalent as they offered you, but the part number he read off to me was for a Nexus S.
And the desktop dock at that price is a sideways USB charger...no POGO.
Of the part numbers I gave him, he showed nothing in stock. Looks like ill be buying a used one on Ebay.

Sure thing. I called: 1-888-987-4357 (same number as posted earlier): I selected Option: 3 for mobile accessories and then I remember selecting another option (probably 1 like the Slupie mentioned) but then on the third option I didn't select anything. I just held on until it told me it would transfer me.
After talking with the Rep on the phone (on Tuesday) - I was very confident that they had both docks (Vehicle and Dock) with the pogo pins. In fact, when I asked for the model number he explained to me that because he had to look it up manually they did not have a model number in their system for it. He explained that they have it listed as "GSM Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock" and "GSM Galaxy Nexus Desk Dock" and the wording aligned exactly with what I had written down from my conversation with Google. [I'll even double check this on both my notes when I get home tonight]
I made sure to reiterate that I had a GSM Galaxy Nexus purchased through Google. That Google was selling the 2 docks on their store until recently. And then explained that Google confirmed with me that their system shows all products were sent back to Samsung and then they (Google) proceeded to give me the number at Samsung to call.
He did have to put me on hold for 2-3 minutes until he came back. I asked if he could look at quantity in stock but he explained he was unable to see that. However, he felt confident that they wouldn't be running out of them any time soon (take that with a grain of salt).
Could it be that they sold out of them already and only had a short supply? - Possibly, I suppose.
Either way, before we hung up I went through all the information with him again and explained I needed to be sure these were the correct accessories. I reiterated and asked him to confirm:
These are accessories for the GSM Galaxy Nexus - had him affirm not Sprint or Verizon. And, the most recent model sold by Google Play Store until the Nexus 4.
The Vehicle dock included car charger, it plugged into base, and had pogo pins.
The Vehicle dock was specifically for the "GSM Galaxy Nexus" sold recently by Google. And that it would not work with Verizon or Sprint models.
The Desk Dock included charger and was landscape with pogo pins.
The Desk Dock was specifically for the "GSM Galaxy Nexus" again...sold recently by Google
I can't even iterate how many times I used the phrase "pogo pins" in this conversation.
Anyway, I hope a GN user gets through to a Rep with knowledge and is willing to take the chance on these. If finances weren't so tight coming into Christmas season I would risk the purchase in a heartbeat. I take the stance of: You send me the wrong part off bad information = you pay return shipping and I don't pay restocking fee. I take it as far up as I have to when things like that happen.

damn it, samsung USA do not ship to canada and Samsung Canada do not have it in their system (even with the part number).
Anyone could do it for me (I would pay everything including the shipping charge to my home, i would be using paypal) ?

If we get this all sorted out and confirmed they do indeed have them maybe we can work something out. Using paypal I'm willing to work with you knowing it's a system designed to help both parities. But, I won't promise anything and we'll look at crossing that bridge when (if) we get there.

I just called Samsung at 1-888-987-4357 Accessory sales (option 3 then 1 than 2) and the only desktop dock that they have in the system is for the Verizon I515 GN.
The Samsung number for the GSM GN I9250 Desktop dock is EDD-DF2BEGSTD.
If anybody gets one from Samsung let us know where you called and who you spoke to.
Here is a post with all of the accessories that were available for the GSM GN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372908

Not saying you're lying - but could the model number you wrote down for the desktop dock be wrong? Or maybe a mistype in your post? I used to have the US model numbers written down somewhere and that doesn't look like it. In fact, if I Google the model number you reference the only results in Google are this thread.
Just want to make sure we don't send other users on a wild goose-chase for a model number that is incorrect.
So I just wanted to help anyone like me who didn't get the Free Gear Fit 2 from Bestbuy. For some reason the stores are under the impression you can only get the Gear Fit 2 if you purchase the phone under contract or lease,since I bought my Note 7 out right they said I couldn't get the Fit. So I went to another Bestbuy to check out cases and just passing asked another mobile rep and they said the same thing,so I figured ok this sucks but what ever. When I got home I looked at the ad and read the fine print and it says for anyone that purchase or signs a contract/lease. So I called the 1800 Bestbuy number and talked to a rep and he instantly knew what was going on and called over to the store to tell them that my purchase did qualify. I had to go back to the store and the store had to call the bestbuy hotline number,the person on the phone just gave the employee a 'promo code' and it zeroed out the balance of the Gear Fit 2. I figured I would share this so if anyone didn't get the Fit could go get one.
Online deal: Large Gear Fit 2
In-store deal: Choice of small Gear Fit 2 or 256GB memory card.
It was confusing for me and I bet the employees were confused by it too, especially if ordering online but picking it up in the store.
I've ordered two online and picked up in store on two separate occasions and both included the Gear Fit 2.
Now asking them to switch the Gear Fit for a 256GB card is another story... They were adamant about not switching (even though they could have cancelled the order and repurchased).
Its unfortunate because I like instant gratification so I shop there but they are routinely overstocked with stupid.

That's what I was told also.
My problem was that since I paid full price with no contract they said I didn't qualify for the deal.
I went with the "financing plan" and got the Large Gear Fit 2 (which I promptly sold on Ebay) AND a $200 Bestbuy G/C.
Maybe it can very from region to region?

Why 200 dollar card?

That's not correct... I spent a small fortune on these phones as both are no contract and I still got the Gear Fit 2s.
Call the customer service department and complain! They aren't giving you what you paid for.
