Was a huge (and welcome) surprise to see the price drop on the website. Wonder if the price drop will cause a big influx of webtop/laptopdock questions in a week or so when everyone gets their new toy.

I bet there will be a metric crap-ton of posts like "Why doesn't CM7 have WebTop?"
In all seriousness, this is a killer deal. ATT is probably clearing out their stock so if you want one you'd better get it now or never.

if you buy it from AT&T, will they make you get a tethering plan?

Buying the dock from AT&T (in this case) is the same as buying it from any other store. So no, the act of buying the LAPTOPDOCK from them will not add a tethering plan to your bill.

Thank you OP for posting this. I've been contemplating about the webtop and for this price its too good of a deal to pass up so I finally pulled the trigger, I'll have to give up CM7 but thats okay i'm sure someone can make it work with CM7 later. Thanks OP for finding this.

CM9 might make the webtop a whole new ballgame, too. That's what I'm waiting for.
Let me clarify- HDMI mirroring at native (not upscaled) resolution? Or dynamically switching displays so as to resize everything? Count me in.

Don't hold your breath. From what the CM developers have said, actually implementing the Motorola webtop would be VERY difficult. I believe it's very tied in to Motoblur. A better chance of seeing plain Ubuntu...

Hello to all here on the lapdock thread. Just received mine today, one of the $99 new ones from Motorola. Pretty amazing the functionality added to the phone for such a low price. I wasnt sure what to expect.
Over the last few days I ve been doing a little research on the various CM7 threads --mainly the nightly for the Atrix 4G and I think someone has ported a version of Debian that will run on the CM7 ROM for Webtop and Lapdock. I flashed an earlier version of CM7 but ended up back on 4.5.91 after problems with CM7. Would be nice to have something a little different than the current desktop on the laptop but to me its pretty amazing as it is. Thid is my first thread post here from my Atrix using the lapdock. Nice accessory for a low price.
Thanks to everyone on XDA Atrix4G. I ve learned a lot !

Sure! I wanted to make sure folks participating in the XDA forum knew about the deal... because I selfishly wanted more discussion about it now that I am getting one . My evil plan is already working!
As far as CM7, I hope there is some sort of port. But for now I'm happy.

I'm using the home base rom and the webtop is neat but not overwhelmingly so. for the price I'm going to hang onto it, but I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to use it now or switch to CM7 and just sit on the dock for awhile until I see something that piques my interest.

can this be bought in store or ordered from someone that is not an ATT customer? im visiting some friends in the states next month and was wondering if i can either get one at a local store or order it to my friend's place(hes not an att customer)?
can someone post the link? i cant find it on att website

Hi, how good are the refurbished ones? Or its better to go for new one?

I just got my refurb in 2 hours ago, and it looks brand new!
Thanks OP!!

You do not have to be an AT&T customer to purchase one of these. I am not an AT&T customer.
To find the dock just go to where you would buy the atrix 4g http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...OROLA+ATRIX+(TM)+4G*+-+Black&q_sku=sku5100311
then go to compatible accessories and find the laptopdock
dont think you can pick it up in the store, ship it to your friends house

damn, I ordered the 75.00 2 days ago. I'll RMA this one and get me the $50.00 one.

I agree on both counts. I kinda feel bad for the guys in the development forum. Maybe someone should warn them!

Exactly what comes in the box. Does it include a charger and battery?

Asking Help from Canadian Atrix Friends!

I live in the US with a AT&T Atrix, but out of curiosity I went on Bell's website and looked at their accessories for the Atrix, and I found some interesting ones. First off that S wave, the first 2 I point to is on ebay. I saw them before looking on Bell but just realized I can get them . Now, I could actually care less about that one, the second 2 I point to is what i'm fascinated with. The silicone one with the diamond pattern cut in. It reminds me of a Speck Pixelskin and.... I WANT IT! Does anyone in Canada have either of these from Bell? Are they as they look in the picture? Last time I checked the same accessories page for the Atrix on bell there was a blue and brown one, now their both gray. I actually like the gray better though. If anyone has one, would they be willing to sell it to me? I dont want the leather holster/case/pouch thingy. Just the silicone
PLEASE I'M DESPERATE!!!! I'M A CASE FANATIC! I MUST HAVE ♥!
Thanks!
Take a look, here's the link: http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=71866
P.S. I believe it's the same as the Roots Protective Skin except it comes with the holster thing. I believe the Roots Skin is on the 2nd page. Anyone willing to sell me on Bell wont ship it to me in the US
NOBODY?!?!?!?
I have the black one. It is okay at best, it has grippy sides with raised studs. I find them annoying and i am currently waiting for my commuter to arrive in the mail. as soon as it does you can have this one lol
wow i need to pay attention a little bit more lol i dont have that case i have black and clear hybrid sorry
Im looking for a case myself. I'm going to run by Pacific Mall to see what they have. If I dont see anything, I'll pick the black one up and tell you how it is.

«i had one of those for my 3GS, they are good if your traveling or doing something physical while with the phone, but other then that they collect too much lint for me.
looking at all the prices
WAY more reasonable then the US
why the f--- are they charging $500 for the stupid lapdock in the US
freaking out of their mind
i say even @ $320 they are making a big profit - canadian MSRP
so if it is @ $250 range it is reasonable
also the $19.99 back cover is not bad either

HD Dock $49.99 GVA - Bestbuy

Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.
I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.
Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.
Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.
And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.
I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.

No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.
Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.
*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris

Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.

Looking to sell my Lapdock -$200 O.B.O.

Hi guys, I'm selling my lapdock for the Atrix. I bought it brand new during launch day at around $300 when bundled with phone. The lapdock is in perfect condition - Never dropped, scratched or put any kinds of drinks near it.
To be honest i've only used my Lapdock for a total of around 40 hours, i was working on a Windows Conversion for the dock but since I'm a Game Designer and I'm starting to get real serious with a project, i need to let go of it and get a real Laptop...i really like this lapdock its very light and very useful (especially after what Sogarth did with his mods).
I currently see onit priced Amazon, Ebay, and a few other sites that sell it for $200 as the lowest. I'm trying to sell it for $200 if possible.
Shipping to 94607?
Sure, that's not too far.
If you both can't make a deal, i am interested to buy this as well. However would you ship internationally ?

Someone created a thread to sell a laptop he bought new and has used. People that are viewing the thread see someone else point them towards a refurbished unit from AT&T, as though to suggest it's better to go there than buy from the person who created the thread. AT&T refurbished units are a crapshot, you don't know what the previous issue was. They have no bearing on the OP's thread and is a full-on c*$kblock, if you will.
Tried PM'ing a couple of times but aint working! Will give 200 providing shipping to Melbourne Australia is not too expensive. PM me if you can
why the mods havent come in yet i dont know but this isnt the buy&sell section
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?
It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.
To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.
Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.
I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.
To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)
To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp
I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!

Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Just got mine yesterday, the coupon still worked and got delivered within like 2 days (NY to So. Cal) on $2 shipping, beat that AMAZON! Everything looked solid on the dock, real clean, no dead pixels or nothing, original box was kinda beat up, but who cares about that.

All the roms (excluding cm7) will run webtop. It's just usually NOT included in the rom. If you need webtop, Samcripp has provided webtop fruitcakes in his thread, they can be flashed with cwm.
Most roms include one of faux123's kernels. So you will more then likely have a webtop status bar that does not function. Obviously faux is working on this. I am using a 1.3 ghz kernel he provided for testing. As far as I know, it is NOT a final fix.
Faux123 also provides a stock at&t kernel in his thread, that works perfectly with webtop.
Enjoy your lapdock!!

Thanks 95rr900, figures mine will be running CM7 when I get it, but I'll have to figure out which other one I want to use then, and just use an alternate launcher.
Will the AOSP rom do it? I would guess not since that's what CM7 is based on, right? has to be something based off of a moto ROM?
Anyone non US bought it successfully?
I'm from Argentina and I must tell, the price difference is dangerously huge.
Experiences buying in this site from outside US?
Thx

[PSA]Free Bluetooth Headset From Best Buy.

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

Haha, well thanks for letting me know.
If I wasn't out of thanks for the day I would hit it.
i constantly read xda forum for whatever device i have but rarely post. But I had to post a reply to this. I purchased a LGOG about a week ago from BB and no one mentioned headset. i ran out during my lunch break to BB and picked it up. No questions asked...in/out in about 10min. Thanks XDA
i bought my phone on january 2nd and just called them about this, they thought i was crazy and had no recollection of it even when i told them how to find the link offer and they were looking at it they said i was SOL

Maybe try going in to the store and show them the link and ask if they will match the offer.
Go to the mobile section.
Sorry.

I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

okay, I got my parents to say I can go tomorrow or friday so is the music quality any good, or should I stick with my $100 wired headphones, and just sell it for other stuff I want to get?
Just stopped into my local BB they are out but there are some on the truck. Holding one for me when they put out the stock. Manager knew about the offer. Was way cool about it. Love best buy!

Bought my LGOG on 12/22, went in today and asked about the headset, the BB guy couldn't find the ad online, so I brought it up on my phone from the link here in the forums. He said OK no problem. Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:
