The Motorola Store and AT&T are both list the Lapdock for $399 now. I thought the non-bundled price was supposed to be $599 with a $100 rebate.
Think they heard complaints about the pricing?
And it looks like AT&T is offering an additional $100 VISA gift card as a mail-in rebate for a grand total of $299.
Where did you guys find that deal. I logged in with my premier account & I don't see those offers. Any links?

This is pretty cool. I was against getting the dock when it required 2 years of tethering. $299 is till about $100 too steep in my opinion. But I am almost swayed by the removal of the tethering requirement.*
* I am aware that the FF browser will still require tethering. I have high hopes that we can hack that requirement out of it.
Att still shows tether required
I just went to the AT&T link you posted and it still says:
Super thin MOTOROLA LAPDOCK™ with webtop app merges ATRIX capabilities with the convenience of a laptop. The webtop app launches automatically when your phone is docked to get all the ease of a sleek laptop computer and the capabilities of your phone in one smart package. Super thin so it travels easily. The 4GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use this accessory.
Item SKU: 65242(MOTOROLA LAPDOCK (TM) for MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM)4G)
But, it does show the $299 price after the $100 VISA rebate card.

Correct - I think the laptop dock still checks for a tethering plan. But the way I read the rebate is that it's not conditional on acceptance of a 2yr data contract.
Dock is now priced at $350 direct from motorola.com. I paid $399 for it from them yesterday. not happy.

I'm gonna wait a week or two, this is definitely going down to 200.
I think the dock does not worth the price even if it is 299. It has no real OS environment in there and cannot used to compile code. So I guess I will wait.

Same here , I'll wait for 2 weeks !
There is a coupon code for 25% off accessories at the moto store and it includes the laptop dock.
code: OCNNSB25
(I tried to post a link to the dock in the store but it wouldn't let me casue I havent posted here much. Been a member since back in my mda days but always read and learn but never post)
my order came up under 300 with shipping and tax.
Item Subtotal: $359.99
Shipping & Handling: $4.00
Promotion Applied -$90.00
Before Tax Total: $273.99
Estimated Tax: $19.18
Order Total: $293.17
By the way the multimedia dock with keyboard, mouse and remote comes to 120.99 plus tax.
And thanks to droid life for bringing attention to this code. There was a bug allowing you to get 25% off a zoom with this but it has since been fixed. Still works on all moto accessories like it was originally intended to.
i *might* buy the lapdock if its $200 or under
no way in hell i'll pay a penny over that.
Just so you guys know, there ilare multiple ways to get around the tethering and people are doing it over wifi and data at no extra cost.
This is why I'm planning on buying one this weekend or later next week; thanks for posting the links.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
I went to my local ATT store yesterday and tried all kinds of permutations with my phone in the display docks. I even fixed their phone and multimedia dock as it wasn't pulling up webtop mode when the phone was inserted Here are my results:
Over wireless (ATT in-store access point): both docks will pull up webtop and firefox will have access to internet.
Without wireless (default APN): both docks will pull up webtop but FF does not have access to internet.
Without wireless (modified APN): both docks will pull up webtop, FF access sometimes works, sometimes not. Didn't spend too much time on this.
Since I'm not all that interested in having the laptop dock, I bought the MM dock. I'm also going to never be somewhere without wireless with the MM dock, so I don't care too much about whether it works without wireless.
At first when I got home, I had the same problem as their dock was, where only media mode would show up as an option when the phone was inserted. I re-paired the mouse and re-inserted the power cord in the dock and it was all working. HTH
the coupon code is not working anymore
Update: You can buybit from the Motorola site for 359.99 now.
I like the way this is going; that pretty much eleminates the need to buy it as a bundle now (depending on how much you paid for the phone)

I know I just tried too : ( I will keep an eye on out in hopes for another code to pop up.
UPDATE: use code: thankyou
It gives you ten percent off. Hey it's still 36$ off of 360$ tax and shipping in Florida came out to 347.67 with that code.... Hmm waiting to hit the submit button on the order while trying to find a better code. Someone let me know please if they have one.
Update UPDATE: blah I waited too long now it's back up to 499 $$$ definitely not getting one now.
Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.
As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.
Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.
how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?
175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan
Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.
$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.
Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

It's great, you won't regret it.
Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

I got mine for $143 also with some coupon code. Had a scratch on the top lid, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Scratch could've come from the shipping US->EU too, not quite sure. Either way, it's worth that price
I'm looking to buy a sgs2 and I just wanted to see if there was any specifically good place where everyone buys them for cheap.
all I know is T-Mobile stores or calling customer service
thanks in advance
You can try Walmart stores. They will definitely be less than TMobile if they have them available. They don't have a restocking fee and have a 14 day return period. Also, Amazon is a good choice as well and will typically be less expensive if they have it in stock - http://wireless.amazon.com
Hope this helps.
Wireless Advocates inside Staples or Costco will have them on sale tomorrow and friday for only $179.99 +tax. So around $195 out the door!
Are those upgrade or new line prices?
I just checked Wal-Mart.com and they had it for 149.99 but it was for new T-Mobile customers. Upgrade was 199.99
I got mine from T-mo customer care.
Here is my price for upgrade.
Retail price $350.27 including sales tax, shipping, upgrade fee
minus 250.00 phone credit
Up front cost 100.27
minus 50.00 mail-in rebate (I'm not sure whether I will get it eventually or not)
Total cost $ 50.27
Besides, I got android preferred unlimited web for $20 monthly.
They charged me for UPS ground shipping, but actually they shipped it with UPS 3-day select. That was cool too!!
I think customer care is the best place if you are a long-time customer for them.
I've been with them for 6+ years.

No. Upfront is $529 - $250 makes it $279 - 50mir. Makes the phone $229.
Side note: Wal-Mart in the midwest still doesn't have them in stock.
I was wondering the same thing. I was checking out Amazon, but it's asking me what kind of data do I want, I already have it and it's cheaper so how would I go about overwriting that.
Can I just buy the phone w/o selecting what data I want?

Also check Wirefly if you are in CA. They do not charge sales tax (note it is based on the full price of the phone so around $50). They had a free activation last week but that is over now. If you have a BOA debit/credit card you can look for the additup.bankofamerica.com promo with Wirefly for an extra $50. Last I checked WF was selling new phones for $179 and upgrades for $199. Upgrades are hassle free on their website and allows you to keep grandfathered plans w/o calling a rep. Also can do single lines of a family plan.
If u have a fry's electronics around go there. They also price match. They were advertising for $250 but when the rep checked my total with the $18 upgrade fee was $158!!

I would always go with TMO stores. They seem to be the easiest to deal with if there any problems with the phone. Nothing better than being able to walk into a store and get an exchange on the spot.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
It really all depends on how much you want to save versus convenience. For me, I'd rather save the extra $$$ and deal with return delays/wait if need be. I've ordered my last 2 phones through Amazon and never had any problems. Shipping was quick and free and the second phone needed an RMA which was all done free. Only hassle was being without a phone for a few days, but that's what backups are for and one of the reasons I am with T-Mo so I can just swap a sim card into another phone.
On the whole I'd prefer the T-Mo store too because they will give best service and of course if you need to return it's the least hassle and delay, but I don't want to pay $279 + tax and have to deal with a mail-in rebate when I can just order it online for $199 w/no tax and free shipping and no rebates to deal with.

So you bought the phone off contract for $189?
Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na
You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com
Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)
If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)
Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:
http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html
So, for me:
$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.
Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.

unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.

I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.
So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.

Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.
I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.
650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.
also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.

If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?

I got this too, but I'm probably not going to use it, since samsung.com is overpriced retail AND you have to pay shipping for orders under $50, so you either break even or win by a tiny amount compared to just going with Amazon prime.
Example:
samsung.com: mhl adapter is $40 ($20 with 50% off) + $4 shipping == $24
amazon.com: mhl adapter is $27 + free shipping == $27.
EDIT2: And... the official MHL adapter is now selling for under $20 from top-sellers on Ebay with free shipping... So, no reason to buy from samsung.com really.
