Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.

Has anyone found the offical keyboard dock or standard dock for sale at their Best Buys?
I know the NY store had them at launch but has Samsung spread the love?

They were selling them here @ Our BB today 3 out of 2 BB did here. Dock and Keyboard(only these two)
I saw both the dock and keyboard at my local best buy in Northern California. They also had two belkin cases, as well as the Zagg screen protector.
I have the keyboard dock... I will post pics, video, and a semi review about it tomorrow.
I found the dock at my local stores but it seems no Florida store has the keyboard dock in stock.
I wish it came with an extra power adapter but I guess that's asking too much!
I'm also contemplating this one from Logitech:

I saw that one as well. I like how it gives you the option to view in landscape or portrait mode.
I wonder how well it works?

Im not sure. I clicked on preorder, then it took me to my cart and it said "in stock".
anyone want to try and see if it really is in stock? lol
Im deciding on this one or the official one.
my best buy had them and they look good.
all I have been seeing in the 3 bestbuys I have gone to are the keyboard docks and that was as of yesterday. On Friday they had nothing in the Woodbridge NJ, Staten Island NY, and Brooklyn NY Best Buy's. I havent seen another media stand since the day I went to the tabs launch on the 8th.
Just a heads up to the XDA crew, as of right now HD Speaker docks for the Xoom are $58.50 on Amazon, it says only 15 left.
Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M8RWDE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A7A8X63QUS8D4
The next lowest price is $85.99, so $58.50 is a pretty insane bargain, it's more than 50% below retail. I just snagged one.
a couple of weeks ago there was a deal on the Motorola/amazon page for speaker dock + wireless keyboard for $54... can't believe I missed it ;(
It depends when you got in on the deal. Reports vary, and I admit to getting in early only to find a very weak selection of accessories online. Yet there are tons that got in after I did and saw a completely differently stocked store, and "made off like bandits."

Got that deal. Purchased on the 18th. No sign of it or the keyboard yet...
Also, OP should be clear: this is $64 with shipping. Still a good deal (if you're in the market).

Thanks for the link! I printed off the page, went into my local Best Buy in Toronto, and they price matched it! So instead of paying $129.99 CDN, I paid $58.50 CDN!! I can't believe that I got away with it. I swore they were going to give me a hard time since it's Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca, but to be honest, I don't think they even checked. They just looked at the price on the printed page and gave it to me, no questions asked

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

Haha, well thanks for letting me know.
If I wasn't out of thanks for the day I would hit it.
i constantly read xda forum for whatever device i have but rarely post. But I had to post a reply to this. I purchased a LGOG about a week ago from BB and no one mentioned headset. i ran out during my lunch break to BB and picked it up. No questions asked...in/out in about 10min. Thanks XDA

I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

okay, I got my parents to say I can go tomorrow or friday so is the music quality any good, or should I stick with my $100 wired headphones, and just sell it for other stuff I want to get?
Just stopped into my local BB they are out but there are some on the truck. Holding one for me when they put out the stock. Manager knew about the offer. Was way cool about it. Love best buy!

Bought my LGOG on 12/22, went in today and asked about the headset, the BB guy couldn't find the ad online, so I brought it up on my phone from the link here in the forums. He said OK no problem. Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the Griffin Powerdock for our phones, but it has been out of stock for months and I haven't seen any recent posts about its status. Does anyone know where I could still get one of these? I thought I saw a post or two about it being recalled due to an issue, but didn't see any real consensus on if that was true or not. Any help would be awesome!

Bump for replies
I asked Moto customer service for an ETA on the Powerdock a couple of times and got nothing. I was lucky enough to catch one for sale on Ebay.
You can buy mine off of me. I don't use it anymore as my OtterBox case prevents the phone from docking with it. I should still have the original packaging as well
I picked one up at the end of March when it was on sale. I just took a look on Moto's site and it shows in stock. Here is the link:

They were in stock at their normal $39.99 price, but I didn't have the spare cash last month. Now they're gone. Not out of stock. Just gone. So, I'm in the market for two (home and work).
I just ordered one off Amazon, but it was from a new seller with zero feedback. If this were Ebay, I wouldn't have bothered, but Amazon's policies are very customer friendly, so it's worth the risk to me.
If anyone else wants to part with their (gently) used dock, let me know and we'll work something out. I do NOT have a PayPal account anymore as I've divorced myself from PP/Ebay, but I can send/receive money through Venmo/Square/Google and possibly others.
