desk dock

I don't get why the desk dock is taking so long to become available for the galaxy nexus. Everywhere I look it's still on pre-order. Here are the sites i'm looking at:

Does anyone know a place selling this?

no place is selling it, thats why your only finding it for preorder.
latest release date from negri has it at sometime in either the end of this month or february

Well, I ordered both docks (desk and car) from Bell last Friday and they're supposed to be in the store by tomorrow. They seemed to think that it was no problem ordering them for me because according to the system, some of the stores already got the desk dock.
Anyway, I'll check back tomorrow although I'm not very optimistic.

My theory is that they did not think very hard about the power button being inaccessible when the phone is in the dock, and they are redesigning it.
I know, it launches a dock app when in the dock, but having owned several phones with docks I can tell you that being able to press the power button is darned useful:
- The screen might keep me awake at night.
- I might be concerned about OLED burn in.
- The battery might charge quicker with the screen off.

The desk dock may not have a problem with the power button down. They COULD have a bump in the base and just pressing ANYWHERE on the top edge of the phone could depress the power button.
At least that is how I plan to build my desk dock!

Well there's not much they can do now, because it's almost like the issue goes back to the design of the phone itself, having the power and the 3pins on the same side.

Anyone tried this?

This is most likely the case. If so it was a GENIUS design decision.

Perhaps google is still working on updated desk and car dock applications and Samsung is waiting until those are finished to release them.
Also, the nexus one the car dock was released 3 months after the N1 launched. (April 6th)

No....there's no 3-pin connector. It's just a generic dock, nothing like what is being discussed here.

I want this dock like yesterday. Desk and car dock.

Just got off the phone with a lady at the Bell store in Oakville where I placed my order. She said they didn't arrive today, but was able to find out they would arrive on Wednesday. Now, I'm not sure if thats 100% fact or what she was told but I said I would call back Wednesday. She also said it was both docks (car/desk) that would arrive.
I'll post here then.

I personally won't order it on line (as I do NOT believe that they have it in stock -- they have been known to give wrong information in the past), but as soon as it is in the stores, I'd be happy to pick one up for you and ship it, assuming it is available here before the U.S.
P.S.: I just called a few stores, and no one has it yet.

Just because it's not in stores doesn't mean the online orders won't ship out. Maybe they have more inventory. Someone order this and find out! haha

Samsung smart dock will it ever be in stock?

I want a smart dock will samsung ever stock them? I registered on their facebook page for the 50% but it expires on the first of the year I really hope they get it in stock by then.

I'm on the same boat. I also got a 50% off coupon and I'm waiting for this dock and the bundle of 4 or 5 didn't flip covers, and it had been or of stock for over a month.
I'm also beginning to wonder if I'm ever going to get to use my coupon, or if Samsung will ever get it together and fix their supply chain problems.

Nope... still waiting for this unicorn to reappear

FWIW, one of the Samsung accessory team reps at CES said that if the Smart Dock does not come in stock before the codes expire, to just call them when it does come in and they will honor the coupon. May work, may not work, but at least worth a shot.

Now listed on Amazon

Engadget just posted this:

and the Huawei watch is now listed on Amazon:

Must admit I'm veering toward this now rather than the Moto 360 2, as it seems to still have the 'flat tire' look.

Yeah after knowing they kept the flat tire the huawei watch was an easy sell for me. Just preordered the silver version myself, very excited!

Look forward to hearing your impressions once you've had it for a while

Now removed off Amazon. Lol.
However Mobile Fun in the UK has them listed as in Stock. Priced from £300.

Looks like amazon got a little trigger happy with their listing, was probably supposed to wait till later this week when they officially announce it.
Amazon however assured me it was still on schedule to be delivered by 9/4 so look for the page to go back up soon!

I'd have personally hung on for the reviews, that 300mAh battery concerns me.

Someone did an AMA on reddit that was testing one and in 24 hours from a full charge it was still at 33% when he had to return it. That was enough for me considering most of the current gen watches can barely go 12 hours.

Orders placed last week still show a delivery of 9/4, the new listings that went up today after the announcement are showing a different preorder date of 9/17 instead of the previous 9/2 the previous listing showed. This here is showing all the places you can buy at the moment (seems to be getting updated frequently)

I just ordered it from Amazon as well, $349. I went with this over the Moto 360 2 mainly because of the flat tire thing. I hated it on the Moto 360 1 and thought for sure they would remove that for the new one. With prime shipping I get it on the 18th....

All buying options currently available for US

I hope it does ship this time around. I think the release date on this watch has changed several times which usually isn't a good thing...

I remember the time with the European Amazon release of the Moto 360.
It kept delaying and delaying.

Umi Z Pro Gearbest - When shipped?

Do you know when gearbest will ship out the Z Pro?
I ordered there and look forward to it.
Who else ordered?

Yes. March 29

According to a other forum, gearbest is shipping the pro z at the moment. So stay tuned

Gearbest is shipping the device at the moment. First customers got devices in germany from gearbest.

I bought mine this 8 March (when sale was opened), and they said it will not be sended until 7 April... :crying:

That was said with my umi Z delivery which I tried to refund but they already shipped it. Still trying to contact dhl to return it since I ordered the pro version which I didn't knew was on sale. Hope I can get a refund . Else I'll have to sell it here
Unless I keep the other one as spare phone. And sell my other phones

Is this going to work on T-Mobile in the US? How is this phone compared to LeEco Le Pro3? I'm interested...

So it seems. Compared to the Z Pro the difference is small, and it's a bit cheaper.

Mine received last friday, march 31. Purchased on march 10.
Enter into your Gearbest account and check if there is a button to give priority to your order. I used it and it seems to work.

I also ordered one from Gearbest, but fairly recently, about two weeks ago, on the 22nd. I'm not impatient or anything, however there is something alarming which seems strange. I got a notice together with the tracking on the 29th that the phone was shipped, however today that I checked with DHL the informed me that the shipment was never delivered to them and that I should contact the sender to inquiry about it. Then,.. I got to discover all those reviews around about people that never got their products and so on. And since then I can't stop thinking that I am tricked. Can it really be the case?

Indeed, today I received a notification from the delivery service that the phone was given to them for delivery, perhaps to arrive later in the week. Also my support ticket was updated around the same time clarifying the same thing. Nice

I got mine today (notification) it's currently in Singaporrre and will alive also this week approx Wednesday unless there's a delay. So as said I'm not afraid it's scam as I've seen yt videos of people getting it. And if someone wants proof ill make a video and share here
Also I doubt it would have been on play store and having that high rate if it be scam it would been reported long time ago
Also android sites that's are quite large wouldn't tell about gearbest neither would umidgi list it as trusted source for re selling their products

A friend of mines ordered the grip from dbrand. He showed me the email. They said some time in January the case should be available

From indiegogo :
Shipments will begin leaving our facility at the end of January 2018, with the goal to have all orders shipped out by the end of March 2018. Again, because of the sequence, the devices closer to the end of the list will ship closer to the end of the campaign.
