I thought I would pass this on. Right now Bestbuy.com has the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 for $349 also with a free keyboard dock. This does say online only but I bought my tablet last Friday and just talked with Customer Support and they said I should be able to go into the store and get $50 back and the dock. (I paid $399 for mine.)
Galaxy Tab 8.9 on sale at Best Buy for $349 – Free keyboard dock too
Yes I saw that and ordered mine. They can also do it thru their phone orders. I couldn't get it to add the free dock online, so I called and chose the store pickup option. I will be picking up my tab tomorrow morning and they will ship the free dock to te store next week. The tab and keyboard dock for $349+ tax! Ou cant beat that.
I jumped on this as well, didn't encounter any issues with the dock showing in the cart. Store pick up on the tablet tomorrow, but the dock is on a bit of a back order for a few days.
I've gone back and forth on the Tab 8.9 for a while, if it had an Exynos or OMAP4, I'd have jumped a while ago. Darn Tegra 2.
I tried to get them to give me the dock in the store they wouldn't so I just got my $50 back and went on. I think I am going to call customer service and see if they cant hook me up.
Sold! Email invoice shows tab should arrive a few days before the keyboard.

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the perfect size to me. Out of all the tablets I've tried it seems to have the best form factor!
It does seem like a very good deal for those who are looking for a tab
I purchase one of these last time Best Buy had it on sale for $349 without the dock. Didn't open it up and after some reading I decided to return it. Wound up getting the AT&T LTE version on craigslist for $420. The reasoning was I didn't want a Tegra 2 version and liked the option of having LTE available if needed....The downside is not much developement for the LTE versions yet. Seeing how it's a giant Skyrocket mostly I'm hoping it'll come soon. I can live with honeycomb for now.
I also took advantage of this offer and bought the 8.9 with keyboard dock.
Does anyone know whether the full functionality of this keyboard dock is compatible with current ROMs such as AOKP Galaxian-Soup? Any info is appreciated.
I got this deal last week. I also rooted and installed Galaxian Soup ASOP and for the most part the keyboard dock still functions correctly. There are a few function keys that no longer work but the majority of the important ones do. IIRC the lock function key no longer unlocks the device but does wake it up. For the most part it has not hampered me from using it. I have not noticed any issues with mine short of the few function keys that either quit working or work a little bit differently now.
If I bought my tablet at best buy in store, but didn't even hear about the free dock, do you think I could still get one?

When did you buy the device? If it was within the time they were offering the deal, I'd take a print out of the advertisement to your local BB and ask.
Is this deal still good? I bought my tab on the 25th and would love the keyboard..

I picked one up at my local store. I didn't want to wait for shipping. The price is nice and I'm content so far even though the keyboard offer is only available online. I also added a warranty you never know......

Lol I lost my Pen on the second day, looked everywhere for it, don't know if it fell off the phone . Managed to find the A s pen at Samsung.com, Penn goes for $29.99.
I was searching through the threads today and stumbled on a coupon code for 50 percent off assessories on the Samsung site. I order my s pen with the code and ended paying 20 dollars for it.

Just an FYI, the s-pen from samsung.com, i.e.:
Item: ETC-S1J9WEGSTA S PEN (5.5PI), MARBLE WHITE GNOTEI
Just got it, and for the most part, it's fine in the N7100.
It does not fit perfectly, however, and it sticks out a little bit.
Same experience I had with the t-mobile s-pen that I tested.
It's not going to fall out or anything though, so I can live with it.

Just got my s pen and fix perfect.

Hey,
Trying to find a genuine, NEW Samsung battery to give new life to my used Nexus S. Any one have any ideas? It seems like all the ones I find are either used, or probably not real...
I'm looking for this too...

I've been searching for one too, in Canada.

Did you try asking Samsung? I have been on the same mission to get a genuine battery, I emailed their customer support asking about buying a genuine battery in the UK and they responded within 12 hours:
In regards to your enquiry, all our official accessories and spare parts can be bought from the following sites:
www dot samsungdirect dot com/uk
www dot 4mysamsung dot co dot uk/
If they don't have the parts you require, you can contact them directly to enquire.

4mysamsung dot co dot uk has what appears to be a compatible Nexus S battery (GH43-03359B) and ships globally (shipping to Canada is £8). If you ask there might well be a Canada
(I also saw www dot exportprive dot com recommended on here for genuine Samsung batteries, apparently they export from Korea so it may be a good option)
(Sorry for the URL mangling, xda-developers won't allow me to post full URLs)
I got one on Amazon, from Samsung. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026LQL40/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I also got an extended battery too, but I lost NFC with it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D7T7EK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

I ended up ordering from DX.com - got a battery and a charger. Only planning to use it as "backup", so I don't care if it's as good as the real deal.

No - it's not OEM - http://dx.com/p/usb-ac-battery-char...r-samsung-i9020-google-nexus-s-100-240v-57063
Would this battery work? (need to know, ASAP.)
Or, This?
I think the second one would?
K, thanks.

UPDATE 5/20/2013
so i just got this thing in the mail today from china. i was very skepticle about buying a knockoff but for the price i figured what the hell. anyways i cant tell tell difference between the one i got in the mail and the original. it even says samsung on it so i wouldnt be surprised if its actually OEM. it works perfect, the button works, and when i pull it out of my note 2 page buddy comes up. great deal for 6 bucks. i wanted a backup because i am so paranoid i will lose it and now i will order a couple more and throw them in the drawer with the original. highly recommend this s-pen.
I've got one from eforchina for $8 and I've send it back. It only acted as an eraser, I could not get it to write. It was also very slightly different from the original (a tiny bit longer, different button design, different colour). The quality was horrible and it was completly unusable. This was the first time I've actually returned something to China. I just did not want it lying around gathering dust.
I was gonna say just buy one from sammy but jeez they want $40 for the damn thing!

Get a 50% off code from Samsung by registering your device. Knocks it down to $20
Now I would pay $20 for a genuine replacement instead of going ring around the rosie with China.

Just registered my old GS3. Here is a 50% off code good until the end of July: rMJ8263
If you are still under 1 year warranty get a free one from att.
Why would att give a free spen? I mean if it quit working sure but if he just lost it then not a chance.

Warranty.
The guy didn't say if he lost it or broke it. I stated clearly WARRANTY. I figured people will understand exactly what warranty means and entails.
I just ordered one from the Samsung website yesterday. $29.99 with 50% coupon made it only $14.99. So I decided to throw in the universal car mount too!
That was $24.99 after the coupon so my total was about $45 with shipping.

this thing is a winner. i will edit the OP with my update
what's the OEM?
my opinion, its a low quallity...
I got two of them. One doesn't work at all. The other only registers one level of sensitivity.
Recived after Note 4 registration?

I tried, but it didn't work. The coupon says 50% off item less then $50.

I received the same error when I put in my order on Monday and tried the coupon..
My Note4 is registerred and I don't recall getting any coupon. Does it come in an email?
I haven't received a 50% off coupon. I'd like to use it on a note 4 case hah.
I was frustrated to find that the Spare Battery Charger is out of stock (for a long time now) and even the regular extra batteries aren't available. I ended up buying it on Amazon.
Hoping something else turns up that is worth using my coupon code for.
I picked up two extra batteries (/w chargers) with it. Super glad I did too, the first day of using the Gear VR I just about killed two batteries in roughly 4 hours of playing.
Is this something you get with the Gear VR? Or, is it with the phone?
I've seen neither (bought from the UK).
It was emailed to me once i registered my note 4. I dont know if it works in countries other than US
