Laptop Dock for $399

The Motorola Store and AT&T are both list the Lapdock for $399 now. I thought the non-bundled price was supposed to be $599 with a $100 rebate.
Think they heard complaints about the pricing?

And it looks like AT&T is offering an additional $100 VISA gift card as a mail-in rebate for a grand total of $299.

Where did you guys find that deal. I logged in with my premier account & I don't see those offers. Any links?

This is pretty cool. I was against getting the dock when it required 2 years of tethering. $299 is till about $100 too steep in my opinion. But I am almost swayed by the removal of the tethering requirement.*
* I am aware that the FF browser will still require tethering. I have high hopes that we can hack that requirement out of it.

Att still shows tether required
I just went to the AT&T link you posted and it still says:
Super thin MOTOROLA LAPDOCK™ with webtop app merges ATRIX capabilities with the convenience of a laptop. The webtop app launches automatically when your phone is docked to get all the ease of a sleek laptop computer and the capabilities of your phone in one smart package. Super thin so it travels easily. The 4GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use this accessory.
Item SKU: 65242(MOTOROLA LAPDOCK (TM) for MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM)4G)
But, it does show the $299 price after the $100 VISA rebate card.

Correct - I think the laptop dock still checks for a tethering plan. But the way I read the rebate is that it's not conditional on acceptance of a 2yr data contract.

Dock is now priced at $350 direct from motorola.com. I paid $399 for it from them yesterday. not happy.

I'm gonna wait a week or two, this is definitely going down to 200.

I think the dock does not worth the price even if it is 299. It has no real OS environment in there and cannot used to compile code. So I guess I will wait.

Same here , I'll wait for 2 weeks !

There is a coupon code for 25% off accessories at the moto store and it includes the laptop dock.
code: OCNNSB25
(I tried to post a link to the dock in the store but it wouldn't let me casue I havent posted here much. Been a member since back in my mda days but always read and learn but never post)
my order came up under 300 with shipping and tax.
Item Subtotal: $359.99
Shipping & Handling: $4.00
Promotion Applied -$90.00
Before Tax Total: $273.99
Estimated Tax: $19.18
Order Total: $293.17

By the way the multimedia dock with keyboard, mouse and remote comes to 120.99 plus tax.
And thanks to droid life for bringing attention to this code. There was a bug allowing you to get 25% off a zoom with this but it has since been fixed. Still works on all moto accessories like it was originally intended to.

i *might* buy the lapdock if its $200 or under
no way in hell i'll pay a penny over that.

Just so you guys know, there ilare multiple ways to get around the tethering and people are doing it over wifi and data at no extra cost.
This is why I'm planning on buying one this weekend or later next week; thanks for posting the links.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix

I went to my local ATT store yesterday and tried all kinds of permutations with my phone in the display docks. I even fixed their phone and multimedia dock as it wasn't pulling up webtop mode when the phone was inserted Here are my results:
Over wireless (ATT in-store access point): both docks will pull up webtop and firefox will have access to internet.
Without wireless (default APN): both docks will pull up webtop but FF does not have access to internet.
Without wireless (modified APN): both docks will pull up webtop, FF access sometimes works, sometimes not. Didn't spend too much time on this.
Since I'm not all that interested in having the laptop dock, I bought the MM dock. I'm also going to never be somewhere without wireless with the MM dock, so I don't care too much about whether it works without wireless.
At first when I got home, I had the same problem as their dock was, where only media mode would show up as an option when the phone was inserted. I re-paired the mouse and re-inserted the power cord in the dock and it was all working. HTH

the coupon code is not working anymore

Update: You can buybit from the Motorola site for 359.99 now.
I like the way this is going; that pretty much eleminates the need to buy it as a bundle now (depending on how much you paid for the phone)

UPDATE: use code: thankyou
It gives you ten percent off. Hey it's still 36$ off of 360$ tax and shipping in Florida came out to 347.67 with that code.... Hmm waiting to hit the submit button on the order while trying to find a better code. Someone let me know please if they have one.
Update UPDATE: blah I waited too long now it's back up to 499 $$$ definitely not getting one now.

[Q] Any clue to part item #09236 ?

A sales person from AT&T noticed a accessory that referred to something about a dock with a promo price. It was $1. Part #09236. I had him go ahead and ship it. I have no idea what it is.
Any clues?

Keep us informed, curious what it could be.

I ordered it as well, through the same manner...called in and asked what accessories they had, that popped up as a "dock" (the only one beside the laptop I might add) and I ordered it because the customer service rep immediately said "and of course I'll waive the 5.99 shipping!"
That was on the 22nd. The order status page backorded it a few days ago, then cancelled =/

You'll have to let us know what it is if you get it. I was pretty excited just for the surprise (1$ for a grab bag is just fine).

My order is still on processing. I ordered a car dock today and it shipped today. I called and ask a rep why this ones still processing. What a butthole she was! I'm very polite when I talk with reps. Come tuesday when it's not here, I'm providing a free verbal lashing.

You got the dock for $1, or the price on att?

Is it still the cheapest to buy GNex from Clove.uk now?

I am in US so shipping from there is <$700 now,
is it still the cheapest now?
Will it be cheaper after 12/9 that the canadian version had come out?

Who knows if you'll have to pay customs fees... I paid the extra $50 ($764) to go with a US reseller but they're being sketchy at the moment... See my post (Negri Electronics is being sketchy).
I'd say go US but maybe not Negri.. I'm sure everything is fine but still... You could pay more than you think with credit card international fees and customs fees depending on the shipping company they use.
EDIT -- I JUST GOT MY SHIPMENT NOTIFICATION!! WHOOOOO

International pricing is pretty firm. The UK prices aren't going to be effected by whatever happens in the rest of the world. A lot of folks in the UK and EU buy their phones outright so demand is what drives pricing. The SGS2 stayed pretty firm for about four months and then started to drop a bit. It's still over $500 having been out since May. If you're importing, don't look for bargains and sales because they don't exist (through legitimate resellers). I've bought from both Clove and Handtec and was pleased with both.

Found this: http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG_NEXUS-PRIME-TITANIUM-SILVER.HTML These guys are located in Chicago and selling for $724.99. Supposedly these prices are wholesale to the public. Anyone ever dealt with this retailer before?

how much is it gonna be in Canadian GSM version?

I imported from clove.uk to the US and they were great service. Shipped on a Wednesday, got here that Friday.
Though I must say, it shipped with DHL and the packaging was kinda sketchy for a $700 dollar electronic device. It was in a plastic DHL bag and the box the phone came in was just wrapped in fine-bubble bubble wrap. No damage and it works fine, but still kinda irked me when I saw it.

I ordered two GNs from clove which arrived today. No import duties. I have a thread in this forum showing the current policy regarding importing cellphones to the US (with documentation from the corresponding government agencies).
As for the packaging, I too am a little disappointed that they only used bubble wrap and a dhl bag. The corners of the boxes where slightly damaged; however, the phone itself was fine.

I preordered mine from Handtec and the experience was awesome. I ended up paying around $700 total and somehow the phone got to me within one day!!! It was awesome to see that tracking from Fedex on the day it was shipped telling me it would be at my doorstep by the very next day before 10:30am... now that's fast, especially coming from Europe!

Popular Electronics, which is right next door to Overseas Electronics has it for $699 in store - cash only. I plan to go there this week and buy myself one. $700 is the cheapest I've seen it go for. I've bought a phone and sold a phone from them before so they're legit.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/108564/IMG_4995.PNG
I decided to email Popular electronics about the Galaxy Nexus and it seems like they're willing to bargain about the tax. Chicago has ridiculous tax at 9.75% so the phone would have been $767.15. With a simple email, they were willing to do $710 flat. I'm sure when a little more persuasion, I could get them to $700 or throw in a free case. Just a heads up to all the Chicagoans. Probably pick this up this weekend.

Don't you find it kinda shady that they're cash only and are willing to negotiate to remove sales tax? lol. I'm sure its fine. Just sayin'.

That does seem odd that they have a cash only policy. Really weird for an electronics store. Maybe they have a no receipt policy too.
But back on topic, I just bought my nexus from clove last night. Order is processing and now it's just a waiting game!

When paying with cash, it's always considered under the table. They probably don't file their taxes legally so it helps them when people pay in cash. Good for both parties. They're a small electronics store, nothing huge but they do carry the latest phones.
Not sure about the receipt policy, probably isn't one but as long as it's brand new, I'll be happy.

You forget about the third party. The government and all society that utilizes tax money. (Including yourself)
Taxes are there for a reason and should not be avoided by dodgy business practices.
I would check the phone out in-store to reduce your risk of having to return the device since you may not be able to.

Of course it will be checked.
Tell that to Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and so on. They all dodge taxes. What they're doing it is legal but it's effects you also. It always seems like when a little business does it, they should be shunned by their practice. The way they're doing it is probably illegal but it's still dodging taxes.

Don't assume that paying with cash is always considered under the table.
Another reason for the cash policy is that is removes the credit card processing fees for the transaction. Depending on their processor, it should be around $0.25 + 2% of the transaction amount. So on a $700 transaction, that is roughly $14.25.
(American Express' fees are around 3.5%, so the cost on that transaction is around $25).
If you are a retailer, that extra credit card fee hurts quite a bit. Think about that the next time you buy a pack of gum with your credit card.
http://truecostofcredit.com/378767
That being said, in this instance their's a good chance that this is under the table. I would much rather buy the phone on my Amex and get the additional warranty they provide. Also, why not just import it from clove for $670 rather than paying $700 cash? Makes no sense to me.

Very good point.

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories

Amazon is issuing refunds for some Galaxy Note 7 accessories
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/12/13262538/samsung-galaxy-note-7-amazon-accessory-refunds
So I just got of the phone with amazon and although you are outside the return period they will give refunds once they have received the products back. So when you contact Amazon choose the "phone call" option as the means to communicate with amazon on the returns.

I did this and they were very helpful. The biggest PITA part was having to box everything up individually based on how it was ordered but free ship back and refunds coming.
When I referenced the Note 7 recall they knew immediately what I was talking about so +1 for Amazon customer service
I did have a rather difficult time finding an actual phone number to call as they want to solve the worlds issues via chat or FAQs.
Here is what I used if anyone else wants it
1-888-280-4331

I used the chat feature and they set up individual returns for each item. I asked to be able to put them all together in one box but it had to be separate.
I realized that they were charging shipping. The rep said he would adjust the refund to credit the shipping fee back as well.

I got the $2 credit for a case, but one online chat changed all my returns to refund all the shipping.
The trouble was minimal. Print a label, drop the item in an envelope and drop it off.

They sent me prepaid labels. I was told to put all items (4 separate returns in one box) Put 4 separate labels on the box drop off at a USP location. I am doing that today, I will follow up when I get my credits.

Here's what I did.
1)Ask for the labels, explain that these are N7 items and it was out of your control
2) Ship them
3)You'll see that you're charged $6 for shipping
4)Chat with customer service after and ask them refund the shipping charges.
4) They will say yes and you'll get confirmation.
QED.

Wow, this is great to know. Thank you guys. I purchased a glass screen protector that broke trying to get off the phone and I threw it away, I'll probably be out of luck with that one, but maybe I'll ask them about it.

Samsung is going to let me keep the accessories and refund my money. I bought the led case and the clear case from the Samsung website with a coupon I had.
I will most likely sell both cases as a bundle on ebay or craiglist for cheap.

Question UK klarna purchase failures ....check your emails

Like many i tried to purchase P6P via Google through klarna ,as we know klarna got it wrong and only approved credit for less than the price of the phone and so no one who would got the finance could purchase it. In the end I got it via Currys and I contacted klana to cancel my contract and remove it from my credit record. They have done this and now sent me an email with a £20 Amazon voucher as a way of apology....so check your emails.

yea got the same email however i havent asked to cancel the account with them yet. I was about to buy some earbuds on amazon so the £20 will be of use.

Same here. I bought out right in the end from Google but the whole thing was a bit of a joke. £20 voucher anyway and account still open so far. Not sure what if everything the situation has in credit score.

My email stated the credit check would be removed from the records by the end of the year so it shouldn't have any bearing on your credit score.
