Laptop Dock for $399

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)

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.

Official XOOM Keyboard on sale...

I just went to a Verizon store to get the XOOM keyboard and it was 59.99 rather than the 79.99 they advertise and the 69.99 at bestbuy and walmart...

The $79.99 is the sticker price. $59.99 is after a 25% discount. I got my keyboard from the verizon store a few days ago and it's still $79.99. I got it for the lower price because my work has a corporate discount with verizon.
The normal price is still $79.99 which is $10 more than anywhere else.

you may be right, they asked me my phone # and our account gets I think 20% off from work.... either way the keyboard is AWESOME.
I had a MAC keyboard on my gtab and had to run a script everytime to get it to connect and then it was flakey, this is awesome

saw it for
$62.99 on Amazon (no tax and free 2-day shipping for prime). I don't bother with retail stores anymore unless I absolutely have to.

The standard corporate discount is 25% off on accessories which is what would make $79.99 go down to $59.99. The keyboard is pretty awesome indeed. I love the fact that I can also use it with my xperia x10 and even a pc if I wanted to. The messaging button on it doesn't do anything with the xoom as far as I know and it doesn't work quite right on the x10 either. I think that's probably because it was made mainly for the Atrix and then the Xoom.

That's pretty much what I paid when I got it from Verizon after taxes, so for anyone without a discount through them this is the best offer I've seen so far. The cheapest I've seen it go for in retail is $69.99 and you still have to pay taxes.

just got mine today. I love it. Makes typing so much faster, but now i feel like i have a laptop.

HD Multimedia Dock $50 - Best Buy Canada

Hey,
great deal for us Canadians. Best Buy Canada has the HD Multimedia dock for $49.99 in store.
It isn't listed on the website anymore but it's offered in store, so call ahead to verify stock. I picked mine up on Saturday from the Toronto - Downsview.
They also had a 20% off promotion that stacked with it (when you buy a 2nd cellphone accessory), so it came to 39.99 + HST.

Picked one up for 49.99 as well. Pretty good deal considering it was more than half off the original price. Hope they slash the laptop dock price as well.

Is this with the Bluetooth kybd and mouse, or just the HD dock and mini remote?

Just the remote control version

Kind of figured that given the price; thanks for confirming.

This sale must be done, it wasn't on sale at the Best Buy in Dundas Sq. in Toronto.
edit: I went to a Best Buy near my house in another city, and they had them. Picked one up for $49, thanks!

yeah, the staff isn't aware of the price. So you have to get them to scan it.

[Q] Any SIM free offers in the UK?

Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance

Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

Well worth it.

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.

Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.

Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227

Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol

That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!

Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!

I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.

That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!

Where to Buy in Canada?

Is this phone still available in Canada?
I know Rogers has it online, but $499 seems a little steep, is there anywhere to buy it still?

Newegg.ca has them for 250$ + shipping + tax: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176361
Otherwise give the likes of Kijiji and Craigslist a look, maybe HowardForums. Don't forget xda's marketplace.

Where in Canada are you located? How much you willing to pay for one? I may think about selling mine. [Even though it's awesome]

Got mine for $150 via Kijiji in K-W, Ont. No warranty, of course, no taxes either. No contract. Slipped my Treo 680 SIM, made a call, all worked, paid, left, and got on with my day. No blemish I could see on case or screen.
Apparently it was a Roger's giveaway. I suspected demo phone, but all has been well. Got 32 GB SD card (staying at 32 GB avoided any exFAT issues), case and extra usb from farmer's marked, and an extra usb adapter [USB B (?) to USB micro] from Canada Computers, and haven't looked back since. Also slapped a Palm screen protector on from my Treo stash. Doesn't fit the entire screen, but then it doesn't need to. A wee bit at the top, above the notification line is exposed, as is the Samsung logo at the bottom, and below - nothing my eyes are going to look at to be distracted by scratches. (Fingers and thumbs don't really care about minor scratches or blemishes!)
Would be good to know if there are any system or sanity checks, thought, that can be run at time of purchase, just to make sure nothing goofy is in the works.

I purchased one from SN Traders in Mississauga, ON last month for $300 (no tax if you're paying cash).

I got mine need on canadagsm.ca
