Just saw this offer. Looks like you buy (or bought) a Xoom in July, Moto will give you a kbd and mouse.
http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/36622/Free-wireless-keyboard-and-mouse-for-Motorola-Xoom-owners
I bought mine in July, but it seems this deal is for those in the UK ONLY.
Updated the Subject to reflect that.
Does anybody happen to have a note of the UK Xoom's original UAString?
I've already applied the US image to mine, and so the site doesn't register my Xoom as bought in the UK anymore.
Did anyone received it yet?

For those UK Xoom owners running the US firmware that wish to apply for the free keyboard/mouse but can't due to the web site not recognising your Xoom, try the following..
Install 'Dolphin Browser HD' from the Android Market, run it, then browse to this post and copy the text below (without quotes).
"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0; en-gb; Xoom Build/EVRSU_U5_0.48.0) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13"
Now hit the menu/settings button at the bottom then choose 'More' then 'Settings' then 'Dolphin settings' and finally 'User Agent'.
From the list choose 'Custom' then paste the text you copied earlier into the box. Hit OK then the back button to close the settings window.
If that all went well you should now be able to browse to http://www.motorolaxoompromotion.co.uk/ and fill the form in.
recieved mine today really nice quality , however you do need 3.1 in oder to use the mouse as it is recocgnised but does not connect on 3.01 ironic really as you can only use half the promotion on a 3G version.
keybpoard has some nice shortcuts and does feel nice when typed on its also full size though no numpad obvoiusly.
fantastic for free i say.
btw it took 3 days from submitting the reciept to recieving it very very quick
does turn the xoom into a kind a laptop which is cool the kb is very easy to type on and the mouse is very quick and responsive but i stress it cannot be used on the stock 3.01 (the mouse)
one day when we recieve the official update officially everything will be perfect
well I bought mine in march, didnt know the offer was only for xooms bought in July until I had filled in the form (using FF with a modded string)
Had an email yesterday saying it had been dispatched. missed delivery today ;-)
going to pick it up tomorrow
guys i have a xoom which i bought and it looks like uk version, when i try to enter the serial number at the website, which opens normally without anything, it gives me an error with the serial number, tried writting it in capital same thing, what could be wrong
if the website opens normally without any issues, and i have no updates after 3.0.1 i guess its uk for sure right

thanks , gave it a go even though i got mine in April (-;
fingers crossed
Yup, given mine a go even though I pre-ordered it. I think it stinks quite frankly that for a device like this, the remit for free accessories based on orders is only for the month of July. Considering the bloody device has only been out in the UK since April, it's not that large a period to expand to!
I'm going to kick up one hell of a fuss. I don't normally care...it's one thing to expect to pay over the odds for early adoption, it's yet another to understand a price decrease apst a certain date, but to offer incentives at this level for people to purchase Xooms for this one month I believe, stinks!
..I think that's the intention but it does say somewhere that there will be 'limited' numbers of keyboards available from buyers before July?
I've registered, although the only proof of purchase I could find from PCWorld was an email confirmation of my order - not sure if that's OK or not?
We'll have to wait and see what happens??
Does anyone know how you get to find out whether you are going to receive the free keyboard or not?
you'll get a confirmation from brightspot on the email you registered with...
Funnily enough.. I bought mine on the 29th June... I scanned my receipt and photoshopped the date to the 1st of july...
Dispatched today, should receive it tomorrow!
I'm going to hell arent i!!!

Yeah I got the conformation email, but I guess that's automated, just wondered what happens next? Did you get an email saying keyboard was despatched? and if so how long after the conformation email did it take??
Cheers

I have my confirmation email on 15th but nothing so far, I bought my zoom on 22/04.
Fingers crossed
I had an email saying there was no date on my proof of purchase. Emailed back with a better image, and had the following reply
Dear UKC101
Thanks for sending us a further image of your proof of purchase!
We can now confirm that your details will be added to our shipping list for a free Wireless Keyboard and Mouse - you should recieve separate confirmation of this shortly.
Thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy your XOOM device and free accessories!
Best Regards,
Motorola XOOM Promotion Support Team
That was on 20th but heard nothing since. Fingers crossed i get confirmation of dispatch soon

So how long was it between getting the registration conformation email and an email saying the keyboard was dispatched. Like so many others I have registered and been sent an email, but are waiting for something to say we will/won't be getting a free keyboard??

I'm guessing that if you don't get an "added to shipping list" email a day or so after registering, then you are probably not going to get one. I was a bit dim, not to paintshop pro the PC world email notification date, I guess to honest/stupid to think of this. :-(
It's awkward with ordering off PC world as I don't remember getting a proper receipt? Just a few emails and a packing invoice and that's it.
At least I haven't received an email requesting another receipt, although having pre-ordered in April, my registration might have just been deemed void?
Oh well if don't get a freebie, I'll just have to buy one!

I have to make a short addition. On the frontpage of the shop there's news that all
orders with receipt of money including the 13th December will be sent before christmas.
All orders after the 13th December will be processed/ sent after 3rd January 2012 because of company holiday.
And if you can wait with your order till 19th December I found a 10% voucher for you. Can't post links yet, but search for "fitbag gutschein mobiflip". Click on the first result.
There is also explained how you can request a stitched android on your Alcantara/clothpouch.
The code is "MOBIFLIP.DE" and is valid from 19.12. till 2nd January.

Okay since there are so many different pouches, the easiest will be if you guys just find the one you like with Google Translate
http://translate.google.com/transla...tbag.de/alle-fitbag-handytaschen.html&act=url
Since its only the check out that blocks for translate i'll use screenshot from here
White letters with blue background is my addition
- Type in phone model
- How many
- Add to cart
-Check out
- Check out as guest
- Next
(Still works, just click)
- Fill in details
- Next
- Normal package
- Next
- Choose Paypal
- Next
- Check off
- Check off
- Order
You'll be sent off to paypal to finish here
Nicely done.
However when i tried it a couple days ago it would not load/re direct to Paypal.
So i choose the other option..
The company then sends you your order confirmation via email and Bank details so you can then "wire" them the monies.
I have done it this way.
I will report back once i have received my fit bag to confirm that its a safe to do it this way.
Yeah paypall didnt work for me either first time but a refresh did it

I ordered this morning from amazon.de. I then emailed fitbag.de to be sure that my order was processed, and they said that it would ship sometime this week, probably within a few days. Their customer service is stunning, I don't ever think I've gotten a reply that fast to something I've submitted in a "contact us" box.
Nice guide jvvpc.

all those pouches fit nicely with Galaxy nexus?
that fitBAG Jive Grau just looks awesome....
Thanks calubren, have put it in the top so people will see it
tk_chan - Yeah you just tell them what phone you have and they make it
Nice effort but Google Translate on Chrome does a great job of translating the site for you. I ordered in Nov but still waiting for mine to ship :/
Thanks OP,
I ordered 2
One alcantara ... and One rave textiel
http://shop.fitbag.de/rave-schwarz-handytasche-nach-mass.html
Because I am not sure with alcantara and I thought textiel is cool hehehe ...
Thats weird. Ordered 12/12/11 and I got the shipment mail this morning. Its a normal leather fitbag - no extras as stiching
I ordered this premium pouch from amazon.co.uk
Do you guy sknow whether they would ship to the US?
Just ordered it. Having a little problem with PayPal but solved it by paying as a PayPal guest. Can't wait.

Tnx... Now i need wait for my Alcantara bag...
Ok, this is really taking forever... I ordered mine on January 9. Well over three weeks and I still haven't received a shipping e-mail. I e-mailed them and they told me they will ship out "somewhere at the end of next week."
That's over a month >_> I can understand 14 days of wait because it's custom made and all, but still.. This is taking way too to my liking actually..
Amazon is now stating 1-4 months for the official desktop and car dock, I pre-ordered these items in the first week in December and I'm now considering cancelling this order and attempting elsewhere.
Anyone have any information as to the reason of the delay or provide any alternative websites to order these docks?
I ordered the vehicle dock on Dec 16 from amazon.co.uk, initial dispatch estimate was Jan 1 but was just pushed to Jan 31.
Curiously, amazon.de lists Jan 19 as the estimated in-stock date.
Expansys is showing Feb 29th as the release date. I've had mine pre ordered from there for a while.

Grrrrrrrr I want a dock before I get the phone, at this rate I will wait till the GSIII is out.
I had ordered both of them from Clove last month and I got an email saying they are hoping to ship in 1-3 weeks. Since no one has them and no one has any definite release dates, it's pretty clear Samsung just isn't giving anyone concrete information on their release.

Since Google bought out Motorola Mobility, would it be safe to assume that the future Nexus phones would be built by Motorola?
Sorry if it has been answered, but I could not find it. Does anyone know if Samsung has an official site to order their S3 accessories? I looked on their site and only found up to the S2.
Mainly looking to purchase the official USB Dock, unless someone knows another site I can grab it from.
Thanks!
The Zenis Dock is very popular at the minute..
Most Official Products are not available yet,here is a few websites with alternatives
MobileFun - http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Samsung-Galaxy-S3.htm
Clove - http://www.clove.co.uk/accessories/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3
Sorry to crash tread.
does the official dock / other docks be able to hold S3 with back casing on?
If you look at the 2nd video in the gallery it shows it working with cases on.

OK, not all of them are available but some are (or are shortly)
Samsung Galaxy S3 / S III Cases and Screen Protectors
Check out the Cool accessories for the samsung mobiles from the one stop shop of SF Planet. Its really Good. I like it.
Here's the official samsung accessories site:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I747MBBATT-accessories
That's linked from the AT&T version but I'd imagine it would be the same list for all the versions. You can select the carrier version on this page and then on the cellphone page you can click accessories in the upper right:

Does anyone have or heard of any information on the keyboard dock? I imagined that it would have been released by now.
Perhaps they are holding back on it, because I heard Samsung is going to be making another big announcement in October. No word from the press on what it could be.

It is currently available in the UK with a UK keyboard layout. I contacted Samsung Support a few days ago to ask about the release of the US keyboard, and all they could tell me was that it is "coming soon". No ETA, no part number, nothing else at all. I told them to pass on to that product team that it was a "high priority" for customers.
man wish they would hurry it up already....cant wait
Yes, it would be nice if they let it out. I mean, this is ridiculous to release the product without its accessories. I want to use the tablet as a laptop when I travel instead of the heavy laptop I have now.

Do you know where the UK layout is available? I've found a few but I'm rather curious if you know a link to it.
I picked up my one yesterday at the Amsterdam airport. It was about 59 euros I belive.... now I just need a case to transport the note 10.1 and the keyboard safley.
The N8000 version is $64.

Interesting, I just did another round of Googling for the keyboard dock and it looks like more variants are slowly trickling out. So far, I've found the following models. I've shared links where you can see the differing key layouts. It *looks* like the Hong Kong version has a US key layout, but I can find nowhere on the globe to buy it (well, nowhere I can read at least. I am not fluent in Cantonese).
Hong Kong, EKD-K14AWEGTGY (link)
Australia, EKD-K14AWEGSTD (link)
UK, EKD-K14UWEGSTD (sale link, key layout)
Korea, EKD-K14KWEG??? (link)
