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.
If you guys had 700.00 to spend on a tablet, which would you buy.
PS I rather have a sim HSPA+ compatible.
For what purpose?
Normal usage with a little advanced user (root etc etc)?
or completely crack the core out of it like DJ's dev style?
I am having one for flashing images, (dell-cheaper and powerful underdog which got DJ's blessing), one of in home entertainment - xoom wifi for now(later if transformer is really that good and not looking that ugly, may consider switch to it next week).
"edit": you meant 700.00 USD right? not Pound or Euro? LOL

USD, for surfing/checking emails, playing games. Once it has HC, I probably wont be romming it much. I wat 4g, not wifi only, I dont like the idea that I have to tether, even tho I have a MT4G that I can tether off of.
My options: G-Slate - 429.00 Transformer - 399 no 4g, Samsung 10.1 (Tmobile should be selling this soon), Iconia no 4g 399.00
Thanks
Lou
I say just wait for the new galaxy tab to come out. Thinner and lighter than the ipad2 Looks sexier than any other tab (IMO)
I was DEAD Set on the transformer.. I had the xoom and sold that so I could get the transformer.. The one thing I dont like about the transformer is the bezel. Even though it's the same size as the xoom 10.1 with the bezel it makes the transformer almost an inch wider. I jumped on getting the xoom and regretted it.. I wanted to jump on the transformer but now I think I'll hold out until june 8th to get the samsung. Because something tells me if I buy the transformer I will want to sell it for the new galaxy tab when it comes out.. so I might as well wait

Well my bday is june 11. Maybe ill holds off. Hopefully tmobile will sell it. Will it 3/4g or wifi at first.

In the current on-going tablet war, it is pretty much that if you decide to hold with aforementioned reason, you will hold it forever, with my full due respect.
If you are gadgets fan, just enjoy it and trade it later if budget don't permit buying all. Account it in your budget book as "rental" expense.
I am so sure that by the time of a couple of days ahead of samsung's release, there will be a couple of new tablets promised to hit the market days after that. maybe thinner, maybe new cpu, maybe just so sexy that you may want to wait more ^_^

hahaha no I'm gonna get the samsung for sure I want another tablet NOW but the only only reason why I'm not getting the transformer is the bezel. Have you seen it side by side with a xoom? The xoom was wide enough when in landscape mode and it was perfect for typing.. I think the transformer is going to be harder to type on because of the extra bezel.... That's really the only turn off for me..

I am going to get the Asus T, like you said RENTAL, there is always ebay if I dont like it. Then when the Samsung 10.1 comes out I will sell my Asus, and that is only if the Sam 10.1 has 4g capability.
Thanks
Lou
So I didnt take my own advice and I ordered the transformer. hahah I got my tracking # already. Although I'm debating selling it on ebay. I heard people are bidding $620 for one..
IMO OUTTA HERE!!!! bought the Iconia, Gave Streak 7 to my son.... I might be back on when HC comes out for this.

Hey all,
Just got an Xperia T today from Vodafone UK. Initial impressions are good, feels really nice in hand, not feeling like it will topple from my hand if I don't support it from the top. Sadly, mine arrived with a build problem along the bottom right. The top and bottom halves are not attached correctly, leaving a few mm gap and a bulge on the bottom half of the phone.

I can imagine that hard cases will not clip onto the phone without problems. Have to wait til Tuesday to get another!
Coming from a Galaxy S3 which has stopped working entirely, totally dead out of the blue, so this isn't the best return to Sony for me
I hope, you will be fine with your next T.
And I really hope, that this is not going to happen to me.
I imagine its a one off, looks it anyway.
Kinda annoying as my S3 stopped working last Saturday so its been a week without a phone as is! I can't get attached to this one as I'll lose everything on it and have to configure again when new one comes!
Initial impressions are good, much prefer stock Sony to HTC and Samsung, but would be hoping for some Paranoid Android down the line

Honestly i didnt see the problem until i saw it was put together wrongly! gl
As I said earlier, use the backup and restore app, can backup to SD or external USB and it will keep app info, so when you restore you should have everything the same
Not long to wait
Won't get it til Wednesday now apparently due to delays caused by iPhone 5 orders

I don't know how nice you want it to be, but I'll be producing some models once my 3d printer comes in =\ I ordered it 3 weeks ago they take forever -_-; says "ready to be packaged" I already have a few designs and concepts ready to go. Everything from no work required to custom work.
I've seen posts that newer builds of the keyboard dock would have the connection issues fixed. Has anyone gotten one of these " 2013.11" or later newer build keyboard docks and can confirm it actually has the issues resolved? I'd really like to get the keyboard dock for my tablet, but don't want to deal with the issues of the broken keyboard dock.
So has anyone actually gotten a working keyboard dock from a newer batch?
Thanks!
My friend is getting one for Christmas. Unfortunately that means you'll have to wait until then to get confirmation from me.

I've had two docks now. I got the replacement on December 2. It's funny because I never had a problem with disconnection until I went to write a response to you OP. I can tell you that the second one seemed put together far better than the first, but it still has A LOT of wiggle room in it. It does not dock like the TF201 did. It has no support on the front. That is nice if you use a screen protector like I do, but like I said, it does have issues.
The primary reason I buy these tablets is because of the dock. I really hope Asus does the right thing here. I hated my tf201 because of the extreme lag caused by the i/o controller or whatever, and now this. Kind of a drag.

Was the "build date" number different on the packaging when you got the replacement?
I agree, the primary reason I got this tablet was the real keyboard dock for it. Seemed like a much better solution than the generic bluetooth keyboard docks I see on the internet. It's funny...always heard about the IO issues with this series of tablets...but dock always seemed to be really solid. The one time I actually go buy one...the IO issues are fixed, but the dock is now having issues.
On the transformerforum someone got a tablet with dock with production date 2013.11.
He reports that the flex is nearly absent and it connects more firmly.
Also the connection problem didn't popup.
Good news but now waiting for more people with the same experience.

I received my 6th keyboard a few days ago from Amazon. I was happy to see I finally got one with a manufacture date of 11/2013. I immediately inserted an SD card and tried moving the viewing angled. I did not see the SD card disconnecting and reconnecting so was hopeful.
Last night I noticed that the dock was not charging the tablet. I had to disconnect and replace the tablet in the dock 5 or 6 times before the widget showed the tablet charging.
This morning I tried viewing a video file on the external SD card in the dock. Changing the viewing and repeatedly caused loss of the data connection and the video player to crash.
Fail :crying:
I had the TF101 since it came out and was happy and had none of these problems. I now have had 2 of the tablets and 6 of the docks. I really want the TF701 to work for me but think I need to give up on this device find another option. I might try replacing dock or both dock and tablet again just because I want the tablet/dock combo and I am stubborn.
I got message that Tabletcenter had the TF701 in stock again and I could get a swap.
In the store they showed me the newest batch and it was 2013.10 so now I said keep it buddy and give money back.
So for now no TF701 anymore till it is proven that the problems are solved.
Using the TF700 again.:crying:

I certainly would not accept a dock with October manufacture date. You did the smart thing.
@marcmarshall - how was the flex in the 2013.11 build compared to your previous dock versions?

Not sure what you mean by flex but I have not noticed any obvious slop in the connection on any of them. I really went by performance and did not check closely for that though. I did have to replace a dock with my original TF101 and I learned back then that you want to hear two crisp snaps as the connectors on both sides lock into place. I have been having trouble getting that and even when I do I still get problems. The connection right now feels tight with no obvious slop but I just did another swivel test as I am writing this and the SD card disconnected and reconnected causing a video to crash.

My 2013.10 from ebuyer is similar to the YouTube video. Also I've had no disconnections so far
Guess there is no need for me to do a RMA for the moment.

My TF701 (2013.10) from eBuyer does have flex, but no disconnects as of yet. I've tried various angles.
My guess is that the flex could be to stop the few reported instances of cracked glass (previous generation Transformer Pads).

My TF700 has about that much flex and it doesn't loose any connection with the dock. Maybe the TF701 connection issues arenot completey caused by this flex?
