I came across this a few days ago. Its the HM5100 BT S Pen from Samsung. Im really interested in it but since it was only a parting gift for attendees at one of Samsung's events, its limited availability and I see it selling for almost $200 on ebay. I'm wondering...is its worth that much?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
It's also a Bluetooth mic and speaker, multipurpose. I can see it being valued at $200. Worth that much is debatable.
117$ shipped
Original Note 2 S-Pen costs 32 euro in the Netherlands, available in white and grey.
This is for 10.1..i have the normal s pen with eraser for note 10.1 which i try to use it on note 2..i found when drawing or write something, its off set a little bit..i even try original S pen 10.1 in its slot..same result..off set..not convinient when writing something..idk if S pen with bluetooth is same off set..it looks like s pen for note 2 is different

I know. I got a lot of info on it and I'm just about pushed to get it but I don't want to be disappointed with the usability at that price.
Oh yeah...

I've seen on other sites that Samsung will most likely release this pen for purchase as well. The good packaging also leads me to believe this might be true. I like the idea of the bigger pen, but the phone call feature seems kind of pointless. 130 seems a bit high though... Also seems like sort of a burden unless there is a case you can store it in as well, otherwise just another component to bring with you.
Speaking on the topic of pens!
I have a couple all-white, axiotron pens from using it with my ASUS EP121 tablet. I noticed that they work in a similar fashion as the SPen does but one thing that they do that the SPen does not is an erase feature! I can flip around the pen and use the other side to erase what I have drawn but the SPen can't do that... I tried to use the link to find the pens that I bought but the link is not working anymore!
Just a heads up, that there are pens out there that can give you an easy 'erase' feature if you're using the device for a lot of drawing/sketching.

No. No notification features. I think I might have it already if it included those features.

For that amount of money it's NOT worth it to me.
I'd just get a regular BT headset and go hands free. and use the SPen built into my phone.
Just got one!
I just received mine! I'm currently in Europe, so I got it from Amazon Germany for about 55 Euros, which s still cheaper than the cheapest order possibility in the states.
Anyway, I bought it for my Note 10.1 3G, but since that has been borrowed by the GF, I just paired it with my Note 2. Paired fine, calls seem OK,
However, the S Pen part won't work on my Note 2 when my original S Pen is attached to the phone. Only when I remove my factory S Pen, then the BT S Pen works on the screen.
Anyone else have this problem? If yes, were you able to find a workaround?
I want to be able to use the BT S Pen without having to detach the original one - seems ridiculous that it won't work like this.

I have a vzw note 2 and am looking for a US company or website that is legit and has the samsung galaxy note 2 "smart dock" in stock. Anyone seen that lately? I called my local vzw retail store and they told me all they have are a couple of cases.
Thanks in advance.

I called up cdw as the 'availability' said to call. Rep told me it is on back order and has been for some time. They are anticipating getting some stock the 2nd week of March.
Is there a huge benefit from getting the samsung smart dock as opposed to getting something like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Case Compatible HDMI Charging Dock which is only about 40 bucks?
Yeah I would like to know also what the benefit of getting the official Samsung dock versus a generic. And does anyone know how future proof this is? like will it work with the Note 3, 4, etc?

The smart dock has 3 USB ports that'll let you turn the Note 2 into a desktop pc.
Yeah but if you get a blue tooth keyboard and mouse you wouldn't really need the extra ports would you?

Also you can use a hard drive or flash drive to view files or movies on there. Also comes with an extra wall charger($40 value). Plus if you dont want to have to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse but have many wired keyboards and mice around why not? It'll be cheaper than having to purchase those along with the dock.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Be careful with some older wired mice though. Some people (including me) have noticed that connecting an old wired mouse turns the screen of the Note 2 off (a good thing) but drops the FPS on the monitor/TV significantly.
I am hoping to get my hands on one of the smart docks soon. I have found some on amazon, but the vendors there have the price so jacked up that I figure I am not going to buy from them. The way I see it is if Samsung can sell for $99, why pay $139-$160 for the exact same item. Doesn't make sense at all. Bestbuy is out of stock, and cdw as well, But the cheapest price I have seen is with cdw. Will keep my fingers crossed that one will make itself available within the next few weeks.
Signed,
*Eagerly waiting* - lol
When I called the very nice lady at CDW said they were getting some in at the end of February. That was a couple of weeks ago. I got one at Amazon for a little over $100 shipped instead.

Yes I spoke with a very nice lady as well. She told me that it should be around the 2nd week of March. I am hoping that to be the case as well. She also told me that I can go ahead and place my order now, and whenever the device is received, then it would be shipped, but I just don't want to lock into anything.
Do you remember the vendor you used when purchasing yours from amazon?

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

Yep, it's N-Trig. So far the only other Wacom pen I've found to work with my Note came from one of my old Fujitsu convertible laptops. It needs calibrated though, causing the point to not be where the stylus point is, and the eraser on the back or the switch on the side doesn't work.

The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.
