Confirmed - Nexus S Desk Dock

i went to 3...THREE best buys to get a freaken screen protector.
first two were sold out on everything. So the third one in nyc i got it. (zagg...after a day of having it on..its GREAT, first day it looks like AIDS but you have to leave it absolutely alone and let it dry...so crisp)
anyways, first 2 places the guy/girl both said without me asking, dont worry, more is coming, including the desk dock.
EXCITEMENT. so the third one I brought it up and the guy agreed as well, showed me his nexus and said, 'yup..and im coming from a nexus one with all that jazz, hold on tight, its coming as well'
i just wish i brought up the car dock.
anyways, happy new years

Woot!!!
I can't wait until more accessories are available for the Nexus S. This platinum case from Best Buy is just not cutting it!!

Thanks for the info I really want the dock.

I'm also wondering how this will look like.
Dock should be functional, correct? Which means the micro-USB will somehow be utilized (charging, etc.).
My friend's Moto Droid dock works excellent because his micro-USB is on the side (horizontal), perfect for use as a desk clock or alarm clock.
The Nexus S's USB port is on the bottom, which means it might stand vertical? Not as attractive, but we will see.

I call bull**** until I see an official statement from Samsung... after all, you're hearing this from a Best Buy EMPLOYEE?!?!?!? LOL.

I'm kicking myself over this ...
I visited the Nexus S display at the Samsung booth (an underwhelming word for their gargantuan presence) at CES last week. I'd been on the road for almost a month and hadn't had a chance to handle the device yet. I was impressed enough to think about getting one for myself.
What's relevant to this thread is that Samsung had a brochure available with details of a complete line of Nexus S accessories including a multimedia desktop dock. From memory it's essentially the same as the one already available from Samsung for the Galaxy S: the Nexus S rests horizontally in the dock that has both a USB and audio port on the back. I assume the only real difference is that the USB connector used to connect to the phone is moved higher in the dock to account for the centrally located USB port on the bottom of the Nexus S.
I'm kicking myself because at the time I didn't think to keep a copy of the brochure or ask when the accessories would go on sale. I guess I assumed incorrectly that the accessories would be available at the same time the phone went on sale...

why didn't they just release this (along with other accessories) back when they originally launched the NS?? Makes no sense

Best Buy employees saying and "confirming" that a dock will be available? This is bad comedy.

Went to a local T-Mobile store last night and saw a Desk Dock on the shelf. Same one as the 3rd picture in this link. Didn't get it because I don't really need a desk dock. But figured I would pass it along here.

That's for T-Mobile's Vibrant. There is still no real official desk dock for the Nexus S.

That's what I was wondering. The clerk said it would work for the NS because it is a Samsung, but I didn't really believe him. Figured I would check here since people here actually know what they are talking about.

Yeah the guy is an idiot. I won't work.

[Q] Who makes it?

Do we know anything more about which manufacturer is actually behind the NC? I figured B&N branded the device but that some other company is the one that actually made it.

I believe the company (or atleast it's factories) are located in china.
but yes it's definitely a device made by someone other then b&n.
oddly enough I was looking at it beside my nexus one last night and was thinking how similar they looked in material and color and layout. I wonder how much more popular these would get it if they turned out to be HTC devices?

Right, in my mind when I saw "Barnes & Noble Nook" it made me think of...
"T-Mobile G2" (HTC)
or "T-Mobile Comet" (Huawei)
or "Google Nexus S" (Samsung)
or "Orange San Francisco" (ZTE)
and so forth. So I'm curious if it's made by some identifiable manufacturer that also markets some other devices through its own brand.

it was designed by yves behar and assembled by foxconn

according by google
it's is Inventec

Next Nexus Phone OEM - Huawei?

A lot of rumours going around over who will make the next Nexus phone but this may be a solid one.
I Personally have not had any experience with any Huawei products so I can't say whether this excites me or not.
Would still prefer Sony to have a go.

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/04/huawei-nexus-google/

Arrgh
Lets hope not.

I find it hard to believe that they would leave it in the hands of a successful brand but not as successful as any other OEM they could have if they wish to.

hmm
Probably come embedded with hidden spyware and a small nuke attached to the motherboard.

To build a Nexus which is supposed to have specs of a flagship phone and a killer price tag, how about giving OnePlus a try to manufacture it?

LOL, I was hoping LSD instead!

NEVER use those Chinese brand
The QC is a joke
Also, don't let them increase the market share

Just a rumor with nothing behind it. The specs are obviously made up (Snapdragon 820 in 2015 and 6000mAh battery lol) and we've seen thousands of these fake concepts in the past.

Definitely impossible.
They'd make it look like the iPhone anyways

Riiiiight. Leave it to the company with the absolute worst customer service in the business.

I read somewhere that LG will be releasing a new Nexus some time this year.

You know Huawei is Chinese and not American, right?

Hope next nexus will be chinese brand with MTK SOC.

Would be odd for google to chose a company from a country that blocks most of their services. Maybe a peace offering to get back into mainland China.

Why would you want a nexus with a sub par SOC?

i like to see LG again, but in the end i dont care much what manufacturer builds it. i dont care if chinese, russian, taiwanese or japanese.
but please, not Motorola. i just dont like that Design.
anyway, i guess nothing will beat the timeless nexus 5 design. just give me a better camera and a thicker battery :cyclops:

this could be good news actually. one sure thing is that its going to be more affordable. the one reason that kept me away from n6 is the price tag.

if Huawei is making the next nexus, then count me out. I'll stay with my N5.

would like to try it out as long as it does not have any "baidu" in it, besides smartphone market is having loads of competition from japan and Korea let see what the Chinese make of things

Motorola Experimental Nexus 6 Confidential Property?

Hey guys, I seem to have fallen into a unique device. I managed to get my hands on a Motorola Experimental Nexus 6 that had Moto's development software on it so I flashed stock 5.1 it has labeled on the bottom...Motorola Confidential Property Not For Sale. It has the Motorola Logo upper left corner and 0411-23666 in the upper right corner with a chip inscription as well. The back of the device doesn't even have Nexus on it. See picts 64gb XT1100. I already have a 64gb xt1103 so I kinda don't know which one i should sell on swappa. Any sugestions I plugged in my T-Mo sim card and it works fine so no provider issues to speak of but which device should I keep? Does this thing have collector value?? Your thoughts?

swappa or ebay.. you might find a collector willing to pay a little more.

The XT1100 nexus 6 however has no CDMA as its the international version, so i.would recommend testing that and 4G

That's pretty cool.. What are you thinking about selling it for?

Unless it was like HTC and had a S-off engineer bootloader really not worth any premium. It just an extremely used N6 if was used for testing. Also may have subpar hardware depending where it was in the testing cycle.

The device came with Moto's internal software and Is a fully tested and compliant unit. I am more than happy to show bench test results. But I tried swappa and they killed it right away, Ha..Ha. As for "extremely used" NOT..Its flawless..funny It had pictures in it from Motorola engineer... But I am a straight shooter and have been on Ebay for 9 years 692 @100% I stand for 100% and swappa the same. If an offer works for me and a buyer I am ok with that; :good:

Just saying if nothing different like an engineering bootloader it is just a used Nexus. Even engineering bootloader irrelevant on N6 because it is unlockable. There is no premium to this device except is older than any on the street in my opinion. It was premium if could obtain before N6 was released. Year later it just another N6. If IEMI is blacklisted it is a brick.

Some preprod units had an HDMI out chip (i.e., MHL or something like that).

I say keep it if it works as expected. If the Nexus brand was more popular I would say sell it because it is a rare device and people would be more likely to throw money at it.

Well I posted it on Craigs list and had an immediate response from an IT Manager over at Cal State University of Long Beach we met at a Starbucks and upon inspection and testing he immediately offered me 600. So like I had previously stated I tested the phone and listed it on Swappa so of course it couldn't be blacklisted and the device was in flawless condition the teacher did mention HDMI so I would have to think it wasn't just another used Nexus or I would suspect the man wouldn't have been so quick to whip out $600. :laugh:

There is no guarantee that it has HDMI, unless he actually confirmed it by looking at the hardware version reported by the kernel. HDMI was removed at "some" stage before shipping, and there is no way of telling by the pictures you provided whether that test device was from before or after that change.

Well without a doubt he checked on the HDMI and all internal software and tested it and confirmed it prior to paying me so he got exactly what he was after. I received a text today if I had access to any more of these units. Only time will tell...

Official exchange success thread.

So we are still a couple weeks away from replacements being available, but I wanna start a thread where we can say if we have gotten them from local stores yet. A way to let others who are waiting too know they should start to check their local stores too. So if you have successfully completed an exchange in store let us know! Thank you!

Already a thread for this

That thread asked who is or isn't going too. This is to let everyone know when the exchanges are being able to be done in store successfully. Same idea different topic.

Just an FYI, I spoke with tmo on the phone today and the rep said the first of the replacement shipments are expected next week. They are going directly to the locations.
He did not promise they would be there in a week and had no idea of how many would be shipped where. He suggested I contact the store near me directly at that time to find out if any have arrived.
This was based on the most recent notes he said they were getting daily.

Well that thread has "waiting room" in it and there are already so many threads on this matter.

Should the admins feel this is already being said they can close it. Honestly wasn't trying to get everyone in a mood. I'm just like everyone else here annoyed at the recall and playing the new phone limbo game as well. Figured a clean thread where we could say we are getting them in store would of been good. My apologies it upset you though ?.

Tmobile CS just told me they are waiting for samsung to announce a recall and exchange program..... My only option is a refund on the phone and to buy it again when it launches next month.... what the actual hell is the truth are we able exchange in store or not!?

All the reps I've talked with say they won't have replacements before the 30th cut off. So that exchange in store crap is just what it is crap. And of course i know that the program is live in the US it's just only we know that the stores and CS have no clue at all.

so how will they be shipping the replacement note 7's. just the device itself or will it be a complete retail package as when purchased new? most likely just the device itself

You take back the phone and all accessories to the store there is no shipping of the devices due to the danger of them exploding in transit. All exchanged must be done in store. As for when that's gonna happen is still in limbo.

No, I don't think so! I had to make an insurance exchange for a cracked screen on an S3 a few years back and all they wanted was the phone itself! I even took out the battery, they didn't care.

exactly, i believe they just want the device back and I still think that they are going to box up only the replacement phone and give us that.... without accessories cause we already got them with the first purchase. but it would be great if they send us a retail package and we could keep the accessories from the first device. I havent heard anything official so it's only speculation on my part.....

I myself am not annoyed with the recall at all. Pretty surprised Samsung didn't mess around with this with how few problems came up. What was it 35? Good pub taking care of business immediately. IMO

Guys/girls this isnt a claim for insurance or anything like that. We are gonna get brand new phones with all new accessories that's the point of the recall. Samsung themselves have said New phones and new phones come with accessories. If we apply your logic to this, someone whos phone exploded while charging is gonna have to keep a melted charging cord and possibly fried wall adapter haha.
