I was browsing around the store and I asked them if they had any in stock and they said they had one, the employee went to get it and told me the price and I almost fell over, they wanted $299 for it. Then the manager approaches me and says if you buy that today I will give you 10% off.
I thought these were being sold cheaper in the stores, not that high.
Haha, that's Hilarious. I'd start laughing my ass off.
the cheap price was online only, I believe. but people were able to get it at the stores at the low price when they showed proof of online purchase.
or something like that.

I tried to hold back the laughter in front of the manager, I shook my head and said thank you if I need to purchase one of these I will more than likely be doing so online.

I'd laugh at that price too. However, still better than on the Motorola website for $499.99. Unfortunately you can't get it on the AT&T website anymore. I was fortunate to get one when they were selling them for $50. Your best bet is to go with what anothersmith did and get one from all4cellular.

I bought one in the AT&T store about 3 weeks ago. The quoted me $99, and when I asked if there was anything else he could do, the manager took 25% off, for a final price of ~75 + tax. He told me that these docks are collecting dust, and they weren't even sure if they had any to sell when I first asked.
I think if you go to another store, or hit another manager up, you should be able to get a comparable deal. Good luck!
Yeah same here. I bought my in January and it was $99, well after they ran out online. The store was even running a buy one get one half off on all the other Atrix Accessories (excluding the Lapdock unfortunately).

I got 3. 1 for me, and 2 other for my coworkers. the Atrix is my work phone.
I just hope everyone gets one that tries....
The sold count is at 827 at this moment!
Either they cleaned the entire AT&T pipeline out or their cutoff of "limited quantity available" is hosed
I'm guessing with CM7 and CM9 derivatives you can't use this, so I'll have to pass. :-(

I'm pretty sure you have to specify the amount available when listing a multiple buy-it-now auction. And they did have that huge sale the other week, so maybe these are leftovers or cancelled orders.
1116 sold so far. I am so glad more people who want one can get one at a reasonable price.
Now the question is, "Why did those ripoff bastards at AT&T insist on full price for them for so long and then decide to just dump them?" They could have kept on selling them for $99 for quite a while from what I have seen.
They were showing over 2700 available last night when I looked. How the hell they got that many I don't know, but that was the availability showing in the Mobile app. For some reason I can't find that screen on my PC.
picked one up yesterday after patiently waiting.
Just got my UPS tracking number! Damn that was fast! Should see it middle of next week hopefully.

I think they were surprised by the quick sellout of their stock when they had it on sale the other day and decided to get more from whatever channel they got their original batch from. They couldn't run the same sale again so close to the last one so they had to sell them some other way (at a markup, too!).
Just conjecture, but it seems logical.
no international shipping to uk
NO!!!!
There's a tablet UI already available but it's outdated and it doesn't automatically change DPI. Hopefully someone can port webtop 3.0 from Razr or make a better tabletUI for CM9
Also, the Overskreen browser would be great with webtop.

Lapdocks on ebay for $59.99 free shipping
I ordered two. Thank you for this notice.
Just ordered mine...
Ordered mine about 30 hours ago, still no tracking number, I do hope I get it!
About to cancel my AT&T account because my contracts up, just waiting for the next big thing.
Having the lap dock will keep me from giving my Atrix away.
So i put in an order.. but now im getting a little leery about the order. Going through 1saleaday's reviews on ebay and around the web, the absolute highest number of complaints (other than broken item or missing parts) is that people are given false tracking info and never receive the item.
The tracking number i was given doesnt work with UPS or USPS at all.

They generate the labels, but the item is still in their warehouse. You won't be able to track in until UPS picks it up and actually scans it. The item can sit in the warehouse for days before it's picked up. It's the same as you printing out your own shipping/USPS label at home. Until you drop the item off it's not in the shippers system. Usually people ship at the end of a day. In their case they may have a weekly bulk pickup or something.
I got 2 while they were 59.99$, I haven't paid for them yet, is shipping free on both units? or did any of you with multiple units have to pay some sort of shipping?

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, took a punt on the LG Watch R at the weekend, which is nice but would prefer the Zen. I have it preordered at Expansys at the moment, got in while they were taking orders rather than just the register interest page they have up now.
I had some interest in LG G Watch R because of the circular display but I think the watch is a bit too chunky. Will have a look at expansys

I'm currently using the LG Watch R and had the same thoughts as you, but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be. However I still have my preorder with Expansys and will decide on which one I want to keep once it arrives. Hopefully soon!
Hi all,
I pre ordered mine here: http://www.expansys.fr/asus-zenwatch-eu-265396/
Please note I'm from France.
Anyone got any news with UK release? Hopefully comes before Christmas so I can get myself a Christmas present
Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.
they are based in HK and have some very dodgy reviews - actually rang them this morning asking whether it is uk stock and this wasn't clearly answered. I then asked about customs duty and they just said its an all inclusive price - bollox. Expect duty and RM charges on top....
I actually remember I nearly bought a camera off this lot a couple of years back but they aren't exactly truthful about location of item or taxes etc - means you'll pay customs and it'll be regarded as a grey import without warranty.
I think its sad that ASUS are dragging their feet on this. I've looked at big daddy in the US but again with their $40 fee and customs, its getting expensive!
Need an american friend to buy and send as a gift!
Anyone heard anything more on the UK release?
Avoid Simply B'S they are HK based
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I decided to try se after I discussed at length where the watch was coming from (uk or abroad) , the warranty, etc. I was told it's coming from the UK. Has a UK se warranty. Ordered last week and the amount of bull I've been fed since is unreal. Been told due to amount of orders they should be able to post it by mid December! Even though they originally said 10 days..... I queried why it should even take 10 days?! They are full of sh.....
If and when it arrives, if it's not a UK warranty, I will charge it back through my credit card as I will have been mis sold the item according to trading standards. Mmm I will then follow up with trading standards and ensure they are put out of business based on their mis-sellibg practices... At least in the uk/as a UK seller.
Anyway, still no UK date grrr

Don't order from Simply Electronics. The product they have is not certified anywhere and is dodgy. They quote low prices to draw people in and you very stung after. I got taken in by the cheap price if a macbook air but it wasn't European certified or certified by America FFC. They're customer services is rubbish and they don't reply and when they do they try to get you to keep the product at a reduced cost. I had to complain through PayPal and eventually got all my money back. Lesson learnt. They are based in HK but have warehouses in UK and Europe. If you ever do order then be wary as they're not that easy in returning and will try to get away with charges to deduct from the amount you paid on receipt of a return. I would suggest you all keep away like you would with the plague!! All the reviews online are rubbish and are made up to make them look good.

Expansys have changed from a "keep me notified" page to a pre-order page. I don't know whether that's due to a site relaunch (can't recall whether I've seen that design before), or whether it's changing.
BTW, for a while now, I haven't seen Simply listed on the Google Shopping page when searching for the Zenwatch.

I pre ordered back in October but nothing since then obviously. Dunno if I should pre order again! Had a price when I first did it. £159.98 is the price that was given.
Just looked on simply be and it's on their site for pre order just under £200 - site has changed a lot since I made that horrible mistake of ordering from them a while ago.

I have a zenwatch in my possession in the UK. It was ordered from the US via Big Apple Buddy. I ordered it on Friday 5th December at around 2100, paid by PayPal and had it - with shipping & tracking information and regular updates - delivered by FedEx by 1030 on Monday 8th December.
The total cost was around $285, including service charges, but felt this was still pretty good value in the realm of early adoption, given the interminable wait for the damn thing to reach the UK.
I can vouch for the fact that Big Apple Buddy are entirely safe and reputable.
And the watch? Well worth it, especially with 5.01 sideloaded.
I looked at them^ but they came back much more expensive than this!
I've just ordered a Gear VR from Samsung US using .comGateway - very reasonable $20 plus postage.

Based on 6.5% sales taxes.
Unfortunately part of the deal ends today.
This is what I did:
I paid full price for the phone because I am a current customer; $598.80 plus tax.
My total payment in the store was $589.73 after tax because I traded my Nexus 4 for $48.
Next step; called customer service so I could get a credit in to my account of $60, which is the online discount that T-Mobile is offering right now. Tough work but it tuned out fine.
Submitted my claim for the promotional offer in the LG official website where they are giving an $100 Visa prepaid card. Promotion ends today 12/14/2014.
Find out that AT&T was offering $55 for my Nexus 4 trade. Just because of that I will be getting another $50 credited in to my account. T-Mobile courtesy.
I am patient and very cheap lol
You can submit your claim for the $100 prepaid card up to “no later than midnight PST on 1/16/15”. So technically you have until then, because you can always play with the scanner and change dates on the bill.

Haha, me too. I purchased my G3 two days past the battery promotion. Changed the date that time on my receipt to two days prior and 5 weeks later I got my extra battery and charger. :good:
Turns out that I got the phone for $17 cheaper than title said. T-Mobile pays you $50 + the difference on the trade price of the competitor. Good to know!
How are you guys changing the date on the sales receipt from the phone?
I think i bought mine in August or October but I'd really like a hundred bucks back lol

So has any body actually gotten their $100 Visa gift card yet? Still waiting for mine and I've checked the status of my rebate request through LG and it says approved.
Edit: NVM. I guess it works. Just received my $100 gift card yesterday, finally.
Hope it comes soon!Anyone else importing this to the USA? Hope it works out okay!
You could have saved some money, it's $650 on geekbuying.com. If you pay with paypal, it's $600. I will probably get it too but I'm not paying these early prices, waiting till drops below $600.

Sorry, most of the stores have terminated all but the smallest discounts to protect their profit margins. I snagged up a
pretty big 15% discount, less than 5 minutes later, friend reported it failed when he tried it. I'll post where I got mine after I actually get it, if I'm scammed I'd rather be the only one, it does seem a little too good to be true.
Do note that some resellers are flexible so if they have a live chat option, you can ask for discounts, tell them you barely missed a coupon and politely ask, they should drop the price a little.
I've invested quite a bit of time hunting for a deal. For every site I found, there were mixed reports, some had a smooth ride, others had bad experiences.
Mine just shipped with a DHL tracking number from AliExpress. Can't wait!
Sweet, yours came from the 1st batch that sold out in 58 seconds. I don't have a tracking number yet. You'll be the first owner on xda that I know of
I hope case makers start selling cases now. The one in the package doesn't seem like it it can prevent fall damage.
