Lots of us receiving pre orders this week.
So what's bundled in the box from the different providers?
I've pre ordered from CPW & really hope there's a dock in there.
As far as I know, in the UK the DK26 Dock isn't included in-box, but is bundled in other countries in Europe. You could maybe cancel your order and instead buy a different version, or shell out the £25 for the dock. I hopefully will be buying it separately, as the flap for the charge will be fiddly and annoying to undo whenever I charge it.
That's correct no dock in uk bundles.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a third party or cheaper than £30 official white desktop dock for the Note 2 with audio out, any suggestions? Google searches trail me to the smart docks, i think the 50% off codes are for Samsung accessories USA? and the ones i've seen on eBay look a bit tacky!
Thanks in advance
The earlier model EDD-D1G8BE multimedia dock is selling for less than the new EDD-D200BE one. The only difference I see is that the new one folds up and comes with a charger.
This eBay seller in the US has several for $19.99 each and says he ships worldwide: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...458962?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20cdf6d452
I'm holding out for a while to see if the newer one comes back in stock before my 50% off coupon expires. Those are going for $34.95 here with shipping to Europe as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...943479?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item589893c677
http://www.mobilefun.com/37623-samsung-galaxy-note-2-car-mount-cradle-charger-with-handsfree.htm
Its a power mount like iBolt
It has a built in speaker on the cigarette lighter
Comes with a charger
Activates car mode
Custom fit for note 2, not generic
Fits with or without a thin case
Small foot print
Only $33
I just ordered the same one from Mugen. I hope automatic car mode works as the MobileFun site says.
Please post back. Deciding between this and the iBolt.
This one is cheaper and offers the same benefits as the iBolt, but is a custom built cradle and not a generic clamp.
This is where I ordered it from: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-car-mount-cradle-with-handsfree.html because it was a dollar or so cheaper after liking them on Facebook.
I didn't notice until afterwards that it will ship from overseas somewhere. They said it will take 4-5 weeks to get here. I don't know if MobileFun ships from the US or not, but I'm not happy about the wait I'll have to endure.

I think mobilefun is a uk company.
Biggest difference I'd say is lack of usb audio

I can confirm this. I have bought several items from them over the years without a problem.
Anyone know where I can buy additional charging cradles? I'd like a 'travel' one as well as my 'home' one?
Can't find anything on Amaozn...
Best,
Ben
There's already threads for this. You can't get them

Um... It's not just a simple cradle because we can pair up via NFC with this cradle.

I will sell you my for $180
Samsung's website has replacement charging cradles for $24.99, but they're on backorder.
They do have them in stock on AT&T's site for $25.00.
Got mine today.
Seems identical to the one that came with the Gear:
- NFC
- PC recognizes device
Check the other threads on this, as I posted a 50% discount code from Samsung, and so did another after me. Sorry, but going to bed so can't find and link for you, but do a quick search. Got mine for $17 with tax and shipping, but I recommend ordering 2 when they are back in stock, as shipping is the same I believe.
Cheers!
Back in Stock

UPDATE 1/18/14
They are back in stock at Samsung website. Coupon code (rv18623) still works if you are registered / logged in on Samsung site. Just ordered 2 and does not raise the shipping cost above that for single unit (3.95 US$ I think it was).
EDIT: Got my order confirmation and they DID double up on the shipping

I bought one of these on Amazon under the "Monoy" brand. Works fine, doesn't stay on as well as the original but it is good enough. I got it shipped next day prime for about $33. They seem to be out of the particular one I bought now. There are others you can find via search.

You're kidding, right? Every red flag imaginable and you are still considering it?

Agreed. For $20 more you can get the Choetech fast wireless charger or Samsung fast wireless charger for $52 on Amazon. You pay more, but you know you'll be getting a legit product and can always return it if you have issues.

By all means show me the red flag that you see in this? Also if you have any problems and pay with PayPal the money is still refunadable.

*sigh* That's just a picture. On the internet. Get back to us when you have the actual product in hand. But OK - first and foremost the price - what would make you think anyone anywhere can sell a genuine Samsung product that retails for $50 and up for $15 including shipping from China? Second, China - where counterfeiting and bootlegging run rampant. Third, the feedback ratings for these sellers, with numerous accusations of counterfeit products.
You complain about the 'crap one' you got from Verizon (why don't you take it back? It must still be under warranty) - and yet you want to take a chance on this? With your $800 phone? Sure, maybe you can get a refund from PayPal - these sellers bank on the fact that most won't bother - but good luck if that thing fries your phone.
In any event, it's your money/time/grief - fill your boots, and best of luck.
Genuine Samsung fast wireless chargers are $50 at best buy.
get genuine 50 is not bad
Keep in mind that the China eBay ones do not come with the Samsung Adaptive Charge charger and cable, just the puck.
I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
