I just bought a new lapdock for my droid bionic at the local verizon store for $49 awesome they are clearance not many left.
Thanks for posting. I was not interested in purchasing the lapdock but at $50 you can't really lose. Picked one up this morning!
Picked the last local one up today, thanks for the tip. This was just what I needed, and the build quality is better than the atrix lapdock IMHO (go figure)
dammit the store here is still charging full price for it

I got one too. The guys at the Verizon store didn't even know it was on clearance til they checked the price.
Scratch that!
Just picked up the last one in coconut point for 52.95!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this the 100 or the 500?
the one BETWEEN the 100 and 500
Got mine yesterday. Most reps don't know it's marked down until they ring it up.
Also, resellers don't seem to be offering the same discounts, only corporate stores. If you can snag one, it's a pretty good deal.
yeah the one closest to me was still charging full price even though from the way he explained it they had a inventory room full of them. The new price is not being honored by authoorized resellers.
You should have saw the lady with the iphone that was with the agent next to me at the counter. When this HUUUUUGE lapdock box came out she was like
"Do you guys sell laptops now?"
"No mam that turns the droid bionic into a netbook"
"A NETBOOK? with screen and everything?"
"Yes Mam"
"50$"
"Yes Mam"
"I would like to pick one of those up for my iphone today as well"
"Sorry mam they only work with the motorola droid products"
"Hmmmph"
Walks out of the store mumbling about her small A#$ phone
I called around and made sure they were in stock, then casually said i had been looking online and saw that it was now 50$
after him putting me on hold to check the price
he came back and confirmed and put the last 2 on hold for me
Just got two, yeah buddy.
Thanks for the tip man, I am posting this from my DROID Bionic Lapdock that I just picked up for $52.97 out the door! Only ran Netflix and FireFox on it so far, but I've been impressed by it!
Called my local verizon store and they have one on hold for me and I am picking it up in the morning. Thanks for the tip.
the first thing you should do when u power it on is
click the gear at the top right
go to keyboard
speed it up and get rid of the delay
under mouse i pushed the top two sliders all the way to the right and got rid of the double tap delay
also im using the slide screen saver set to come up after 5 mins
Here's a way to get an order though online. You'll get an email telling you they are out of stock, but your order will be fulfilled when they get more inventory.
http://goo.gl/FXKcS
Click "check out "
Has anyone else done this online trick yet? I went through all the motions earlier, site was secure and confirmed order, but no email confirmation yet.
just got one in honolulu... there are 4 left on the island. i gotta prob though...it comes on...then right back off. running stock 905. suggestions? ahhhhh
when the screen goes off
try pushing a button
or close the screen and reopen it
confirm when u close it that the application picker on the phone shows one of the webtop apps
and that you have the 2 square webtop icon in your status bar
If none of those work or you dont have that stuff on your phone screen a simple unplug replug should do the trick
initial connection seems to take a second though
There were 3 left at the downtown Baltimore store today. I picked one up. How could I not for $50?
how are you liking it so far?
have you seen this?

I do not understand the relevance of your link to the "Roc" video. What am I missing
As for the lapdock, all I can say is "wow". I might start leaving my Lenovo laptop at home more and take this thing with me. The USB ports and stereo speakers are nice additions I wasn't expecting. It's very nice to be able to use a mouse with it too. I'd have to "jailbreak" my iPad 3 in order to use a mouse with it when I have it in it's BT keyboard case. Not so with this lapdock.

Didn't see a Q&A section so I figured I'd just post here.
So I found the Galaxy S Tab on Craigslist and bought it last night... Got it for $220 after some INTENSE haggling. The device was unopened!
One of the reasons I was able to get the price so low was because in 21 days (30 days after original purchase) the bill on this device will not be paid and I assume the device will be blacklisted by sprint - blocking the ESN. Right now it has the 4G service attached to it, but I bought it unopened so I have not activated the service, meaning I didn't not go through the on screen steps from sprint to get it online (3/4g network). I figured now, and always as the phone will have a bad ESN soon, I can just use the tablet as a wifi device around the house and other places.
I just wanted to see if that was a good deal ($220) even though it's now basically wi-fi only (just like an ipad without 3g). Is there any way to clear the ESN once it goes bad?
Sounds fishy, but dang good price. Basically you have a wifi Tab. Once ESN is blacklisted, you the other party can't do anything about it (ofcourse there are *cough* *cough* ways around that too, but i digress). But hey, enjoy your Tab anyway. Just to clarify, the Tab has 3G, not 4G.
Daym I went through something similar but not that cheap lol I got mine for 500 on craigslist scary meeting up the guy in front of a Ralphs lol i, but for the price u paid that's too good to be true and that's when u should be concerned, well at least now u have a really cheap wifI tablet too bad its not gsm
And for that price I would of bought a few more if he had any lol

What will happen is that the tab will be stuck at the activation page. Right now there is no way to get around activation on the Sprint version. There is a workaround on the other versions by pressing the volume button in a sequence. Right now the Sprint version will not accept the workaround. I was about to buy a Sprint version off of Craigslist, but after reading many posts on different forums about this issue, I stayed away.
I opened and used the device last night. The Sprint activation is a little notification that you can hide, but you're right in that it doesn't go away. But the device does work perfect. Used the browser and some games last night. Not sure how much purpose it will serve me though. How do you guys usually use yours?
Having quick google maps, a mini web browser sitting around, and possibly multimedia is all i can think of, but I have laptops, desktop, and my android phone :/ I'm considering selling it (even though i just opened it! haha) but i'm not sure how much i can get for a going-to-be-bad ESN.

I use mine for everything. I take it everywhere I go, especially work. I have a slingbox that works great on my tab. I hardly need to pull out the laptop anymore.

Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
Bought a verizon tab for 400 and it was associated with the owners account. All he did was disassociate it from his and I activated a new plan. He owed like 900 bucks on his cell phone bill, but was making payments.
Kinda ridiculous that the device is tied to a account like that on Sprint.
I just for my tab from tmobile. Ended up paying 349.99. I got my vibrant from tmobile, same phone line, four months ago for 149.99.
Retention is the ****, lol.

Locked
Yeah, it's because he used a business account and even the rep on the phone said that they lock the phone to the account for only the first 30 days. After that, it can be pulled off but thats when they'll also see he's not going to pay the bills.
The rep did say that you can cancel the line within the 30 days ONLY by going into the store your bought the device and signed up for the service at. I can't remember the explanation why but part of it was like inventory or something (sounded like bull___ ) but he also said that they do this to dissuade fraud because "a lot of people were ____insert my scenario with this guy here ___". But he bought them all offline so I'm not sure how that would work.
Anyone buying a CDMA device off CList should always call customer service and verify ESN (takes a few mins) before money exchanging hands. Simple as that.
Now of-course if I see a Tab for $200, !!, heck I'll throw caution to the wind and scoop it. Worst case, I have a wifi Tab.
I buy and sell my stuff on CL and that's how I operate.
I am actually shopping for a wifi only tab. I currently have a Viewsonic G Tablet but my return date is approaching and I will prbly return it.
Any carrier better or worse for what I am looking for?

I have an opportunity to buy a sprint galaxy tab for $250. Bad ESN but in perfect shape with case and screen cover. Is it worth it?
I just bought a blacklisted one off of CL for $100 it's cool for the wifi right now but will it ever be able to be transfered to my contract?
My Tab...
Came from CL, too... As-new AT&T refurb mint condition but it cost me $375... I use it for everything and it its my phone too so I guess it was worth it. Bad on AT&T for crippling it like they do but thanks to xda I have fixed that
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.

Yeah the guy is an idiot. I won't work.
I returned my Nook and got a new one and was amazed at how much better the screen is. Mine had a slight bleed at the bottom I wasn't sure if that was all of them or not.
Anyways aside from the bleed gone, the screen is much more vibrant and clear. Just an fyi if anyone has a weird screen don't settle!
Cool, mine has a dead pixel that appeared only 2 days after I purchased it - I've been debating whether or not it's worth the time to reflash back to stock, etc... etc... and exchange it. I think I will.
My first nook had white splotches on the screen. I took it back to the store and the guy wouldn't exchange it. As soon as I told him I wanted my money back he changed his mind and gave me another one. He was a ****.
Then, after a week, the nook started creaking and squeaking all around the bezel. I called to get it exchanged. They said I had to go into the store. I went into the store. They said I had to do it online or on the phone. I called on the phone and argued with some lady for 30 minutes after which she told me that if I sent my current nook back and they didn't think anything was wrong with it, they'd charge me $250. I hung up and called right back and got a woman who was ok and told me the other lady was an idiot. Thanks guys.
I received my third nook in the mail. The A/C charger jack was broken. I couldn't put the jack in. So i called to get this replaced and argued with some guys in India for an hour and finally got a replacement.
I'm on my 4th nook. Barnes and Noble sucks and I will never buy another electronic device from them again.
Yeah I was not impressed with their phone support either. All these companies not only outsourcing to India but only allowing the support person to use scripted conversation is even worse.
I called to deregister a device since I forgot to deregister before returning a NC and the lady was an idiot reading from a script she didn't even understand.
Roku is another horrible company for India scripted phone support.
Unfortunaley India gets beat up a lot by Americans for this when it might not be so bad if the scripts were taken away and they just hired smarter people.
I got mine at best buy, and getting it replaced for the phantom ghost tap issue was easy as pie. The new one works great. The girl at the counter was kinda cute too, so it was like win-win!

My wife and I both got a NC, same store, about a month apart. Both of ours work perfectly.
Don't assume because you had 2 problematic NC's doesn't mean everyone has, or that overall quality is bad. (Yes, I said 2.)
The only issue with my screen is some binding/pinching where the bezel meets the LCD which causes slight bright spots at the bottom edge. I've seen this same issue with lower quality LCD monitors. Otherwise pleased with screen quality. Having worked in electronics manufacturing, I came to learn how variable quality control can be with some manufacturers.
Best Buy has one month reuturns but after that your screwed unless u buy insurance. my 1st NC ate an 8 gig microUSB and started bleeding by the vol. B&N took sent another straight away with postage paid for the return. NO PROB and they do have a vibrant screen from all angles.
a case would keep your nook safe from most screen probs, and be shure to line up your mcards.

I did buy the insurance, but didn't have to use it even though it was something like 45 days or more after I bought it. I brought it in planning to use the insurance (which is a one time shot apparently), but she told me they could just do it as a warranty exchange since it was so new. I'm not really sure how long they extend it for, but I was happy.

Wow, yeah, my post was just soooo long.
If you read it, it said I had three bad nooks (Yes, I said 3). I never said everyone has bad ones. I said I won't buy from them again because their support sucks and their products are defective.
Maybe next time you comment on a post, read it first.
My first NC was defective. It had a bad accelerometer and/or a bad power button. Essentially, if you set it down occasionally it would act as if you pressed and held the power button and then tapped OK to shut down the tablet.
Here's a vid I took of it to convince the BN store staff I wasn't going nuts:
YOUTUBE DOT COM/watch?v=Zfit4oG4WaA
I'd bought the extended warranty but this happened within the first week of ownership. I talked to the manager of the store where I bought it and she swapped it for a new one and applied the warranty to NC #2. I'd heard the phone support was horrible, so made it a point to buy it locally. I'm glad I did.
I'm loving my new one. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and, for the first time in my life, will be travelling without a laptop. All I'm taking is my NC and a BT keyboard for it.
Are you sure you had a problem? Because khaytsus bought one for himself and his wife and didn't have any issues LOL
Wow, good thing the store owner was helpful. The guy on staff at my local BN refused to do anything and said all returns or exchanges definitely needed to go through the website.
I'm still not happy with my current Nook. The panel below the "N" button is depressed on both sides. But I'm sticking with it for now.
Backlight bleeding is pretty much the norm for any LCD screen. I've seen it on desktop monitors, TVs, laptops, tablets...etc. It will exist on even on the top of the line models and "best" brands.
If you just have only some slight backlight bleeding, I would discourage you from trying to exchange it. You're likely to get something worse like dead pixels.
I spent half an hour one the support line a second ago because my USB cable fried. The lady tried to have me enter my credit card number for some reason so I could buy "NOOKBooks". I argued with her for about 5 minutes and then she told me all I need to enter is my shipping address. She said that they would mail the replacement cable free of charge in 24 to 48 hours.
I didn't spend anytime on hold even though the automated message said that they are flooded with tech support calls.

Smarter people ask for a lot of money (if they are paying more money then whats the point of outsourcing) even in India only those who can't really find another job for themselves take up job's in call center's.
well I just returned my nook with a transformer incoming... i sure hope it has as good of a screen or ill prob end up another nook. lol
I finally got a chance to order a touchpad through hp's site.
I almost got to the end when it said something like:
Thank you for choosing HP your order has been place blah blah blah
I hit next after refreshing for 15mins. It says that they had an issue processing the credit card and gave me 4 options
Edit billing info
Change payment option
And two others I forgot.
As I went to edit the billing info my pc shut off, ruining everything
I'm wondering if my order was actually placed. Please someone help.
There's no way to login to the business sit with the username because I registered during the process
Help please!
bump-uh-dump
How are we suppose to help? Don't you usually get a confirmation email. If you didn't get one, order again.
The thing is I got an order number but never got a chance to write it down. I don't want to Be double charged.
i would call hp but i would just completely stay away from the touchpad i know its webos but it was incredibly buggy and they didnt sell any of them so itll probably be eold sometime soon
If I can get it for 100 I'm taking it
Iwait 25 mins to talk to someone who just kept saying do the transaction again. They have no idea that it took me 2 hours to get one. Thanks again guys
You do know the touchpad n webos just got axed right?

Seriously ... if it would come down to like $150 ... I might buy one. It can run Android apps so I'm all good with that. I was looking for a tablet for a long time before I bought my laptop (not much of a laptop considering it's an 18 incher). Although I would still like something with a screen larger than my phones while chilling on the couch.
I hear bestbuy was dumping those. Trying to make HP take em back for not selling...nut for 150 is take one haha

I heard Bestbuy will be selling them in the store on the East Coast (I'm in NJ) tomorrow. I ordered it of the SMB site but they say it was a glitch. They said they will receive a new stock next week, and my order says it will arrive around the 26th so I'm confident the order is firm

HP Touchpad for $100
GOD DAMN IT!!! My friend just told me that Best Buy and HP are selling HP Touchpad's for $100. I just checked online and they are all sold out and all the Best Buy's close to me are sold out also. The Best Buy close to my work has them in stock, hopefully they will continue to have them in stock when I go over tomorrow during lunch.
There are also developers who are trying to get Android on the Touchpad. Think about it, a $100 tablet running Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich.
So Ive been calling around since I've heard that most store might not have the device on the 12th, but sure enough the Verizon corp store by me in South Florida got theirs TONIGHT! I drove straight there and got to power on their demo device for the first time and play around with it. After begging the manager for about 10 mins he told me he could not sell it until the 12th, he would hold one for me either . So I guess I'll have to show up Thursday Morning to pick one up. They said they had more than 5 so I hoping that number is closer to 10.
The Phone itself was amazing. Felt solid in hand and the smaller metallic buttons on the back were easy to reach and were clickie enough. The screen was a little larger then the s4 and the overall size was not much larger then the s4 (my ex-phone ). Camera app was super responsive and general speed of the phone was amazing.
Cant wait! :victory:
UPDATE: Posted Pics with Case!
You have just pissed people off for not taking pictures, checking storage, detailing the differences from other g2's and many other things. Expect to be pressured to go back by tomorrow morning

Considering no one has seen a US version or the back of the Verizon version in real life, I have a couple questions. Could you go into a little more detail about the button differences on the back vs the international version? Do you think it looks better or worse? Was the version you saw white or black? What about texture and feel - glossy like the GS4? A picture would be great!
I've had mine (AT&T) since yesterday, and its pretty freaking sweet! The more I use it, the better I like the buttons on the back.

I didnt even think to take pics :silly: since the store was closing and they wanted me out. But storage I can Confirm it was a 32GB Model in black.
The plastic back felt more solid then the s4's plastic back. It was glossy, not super slippery. From what I've seen in pics of the international version, the back button are differently smaller and metallic feeling but it provides more room for wireless charger pads.

Thanks for the additional information!
I got a chance to play with it too.. Loved the feel in the hand, and it is very fast. One down side is there is only a little of 23GB of available memory.
Most stores probably got theirs in drop shipments today or tomorrow.Seems like a lot of phones and tablets or delivered at the last minute.I am going to call the closest corp store tomorrow to see if they got theirs.All attention will be on the anticipation of the new iphone preorder and launch.The G2 and the Note 3 will get put on the back burner.
I have to give it to Apple though, to be able to launch a phone and have it out to all carriers in 10 days is something I don't think any of the Android manufactures will ever achieve.To much fighting over exclusives and who gets to launch it first,
Did you notice anything else that looked different from the model that the other carriers are getting?
Did they have any in white?

Thank you for at least confirming the 32gig of storage. Droid-life is still saying it has 16/32gig.
Other then the smaller buttons on the back and verizon logos I didn't notice anything else different from the others. And from what they told me they only had the black models in stock.

Considering no one has seen a US version or the back of the Verizon version in real life, I have a couple questions. Could you go into a little more detail about the button differences on the back vs the international version? Do you think it looks better or worse? Was the version you saw white or black? What about texture and feel - glossy like the GS4? A picture would be great!

Im gonna assume u meant the Verizon model, because a few of us have had the phone since yesterday morning on ATT...hell I even have a case on mine and its Sim Unlocked.
Do you mean in Tampa near USF or south Florida near Miami? What store was this?
I just spoke with a verizon rep and he told me that it would be launching everywhere on the 12th.. I also called my local verizon store and their response was "I don't even know what that is" when I asked "Will you have the LG G2 available for in store purchase tomorrow?" lol. Gotta love verizon.
Anyway.... if the verizon rep was right (sometimes not the case), we should be getting it everywhere in store tomorrow

It's scary that they don't even keep up with the latest flagships and they work for a tech company.

I just called the local Verizon rep (NH) and they also had no idea what I was asking about. Their exact reply was "Our newest LG device is the Enact bt LG".
Oh well.

I already bought my VZN one on Tuesday.
They let me look at it hold it and buy it but I can't turn it on, activate it or take it home until 10 am Thursday when they open. Yes it looks good, feels good, smaller metal buttons, and a honeycomb looking back but it is slick and polycarbonate. I plan to get a quick case so it doesn't matter if it is a finger print attractive material or not.
Battery life
Any word on battery life with that big battery? It's down to the HTC one or G2 for my upgrade from GNex.
