Hey,
great deal for us Canadians. Best Buy Canada has the HD Multimedia dock for $49.99 in store.
It isn't listed on the website anymore but it's offered in store, so call ahead to verify stock. I picked mine up on Saturday from the Toronto - Downsview.
They also had a 20% off promotion that stacked with it (when you buy a 2nd cellphone accessory), so it came to 39.99 + HST.
Picked one up for 49.99 as well. Pretty good deal considering it was more than half off the original price. Hope they slash the laptop dock price as well.
Is this with the Bluetooth kybd and mouse, or just the HD dock and mini remote?
Just the remote control version
Kind of figured that given the price; thanks for confirming.
This sale must be done, it wasn't on sale at the Best Buy in Dundas Sq. in Toronto.
edit: I went to a Best Buy near my house in another city, and they had them. Picked one up for $49, thanks!
yeah, the staff isn't aware of the price. So you have to get them to scan it.
I guess since the Nexus 7 is shipping from the UK's Play Store, the Galaxy Nexus should be too, but I haven't found any pricing information. Can anyone in the UK check this?
Only the Nexus 7 is available under the 'Devices' section in the UK Play store currently.
I'd be interested to see how the price drop would convert into £ too.
Wow, that's just stupid. If they can sell the Nexus 7, they might as well sell the GN as well. Man..
I have a galaxy S3 International version for sale that I purchased from expansys. I'm going back to my iphone, sorry! My loss is your gain. I'll sell it to the first $575. I do have heatware, but I haven't used it in years. I also have ebay and verified paypal. I live in Illinois.
Comes with an installed invisible shield HD
Totally wrong section dude, take this to craigslist or the marketplace
Update Nov 26, 2012:
I apologize that I got everyone's hopes up about these products being available through Samsung and I'm upset that this is all happening. However, I'm more upset that I was either misled by Samsung with wrong product information or that the products do indeed exist and are just sitting in boxes in a warehouse. Either way, I'm taking it upon myself to take this as far as I need too for verification that these items are not in the possession of Samsung. I'm still convinced that the Associate I talked to on Nov 13th was knowledgeable and understood what he was relaying back to me and had indeed found the products Google was previously selling. When an individual confirms multiple times the phone I have, the accessories' make, model, wording, and pricing, and even calculates the shipping and total price for both products - it has me very curious as to how he found them.
SO...I called Samsung again today and was on the phone for an hour and a half explaining the situation, the wording, the confirmation call from Google, etc to an Associate. After I'm sure I exhausted her...she admitted she could not help me any further I asked to go up the next level. I told her I'm willing to go as high as Samsung will let me to find out why I was quoted pricing with items that matched - verbatim - what Google gave me for my phone. I've left a voice-mail with the Samsung Accessories Supervisor and took down his name and extension so that if I do not receive a call within 48 hours (standard business etiqute in my opinion) I'll be calling again.
At the very least I owe it to this community to do my due diligence and inquire information as hard as I can (legally, professionally, and politely) to work towards a true answer on all of this.
Again I apologize that I provided information that led to some anticipated excitement only to result in frustration. I'll update with any information I'm able to get.

Original Post from October 31, 2012
Just last Thursday I saw the vehicle dock with Pogo pins (for the GSM GN) was available in the Google Play Store. Being the stupid me I decided to sleep on it and buy it later or put it on my Christmas list. I should have known with the upcoming Nexus 4 announcement - that something would change...and it did. All three docks (Vehicle Dock with pogo pins, Portrait Desk Dock with USB charging, and Landscape Desk Dock with pogo pins) are no longer sold through Google Play.
I talked to Google Play Device customer support today for 30 minutes getting as much information on it as possible. (And I must say the customer support was amazing). Here is was I was told from the rep (which could or could not be correct)
All Docks and Vehicle mounts were sent back to Samsung after Monday's announcement. (She had to put me on hold to search around for this information)
Samsung should still be selling the Vehcile mount with the pogo pins even though it's not listed on their website (at least I can't find it)
Samsung should also have the desktop dock with the pogo pins (couldn't find that on their website either but I didn't spend too much time by this piont)
The Google Rep gave me a number to call at Samsung (Not sure who will be on the other end) who she says should be able to sell me these devices if I wanted them. I'm going to probably call them tomorrow, don't have time today, and see what all I can find out.
If anyone else is interested in the phone number that the Google Play Rep gave me PM me and I'd be glad to send it to you.
If anyone has any stores they come across that are selling these two docks (Vehicle and Desk dock with pogo pins), and not the crappy USB docking, please post them.
I'll post any updates that I find out on this in case other are interested just like me. I was really hoping for some great Christmas Presents so I didn't have to spend it out of pocket.

While overall the support I've recieved from Google over the years has been very positive -- it's interesting you bring this up. I asked the rep I talked too specifically for the model number and the response was "GSM Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock". She was really nice and had been more than accommodating during our talk so I didn't feel the need to do a "you're joking right?" response.
I'll look around and if I come up with the Samsung model number I'll post it here.

Do you happen to still have a record of that in your Amazon account that would have the model number?
Alright after lots of digging around online I'm 99% sure the GSM Vehicle dock with the pogo pins is model number: ECS-K1F2BE made by Samsung.
It took me awhile but I finally found one on amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/Holder-ECS-K1F2BE-Samsung-I9250-Nexus/dp/B006GJ5S2E
I also finally found it on Samsung's website:
http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/accessories/ECS-K1F2BEGSTD?subsubtype=other-multimedia
But BeerChameleon is correct; prices have really gone up. Now I really regret not buying one from Google just last week.
Just in case someone wanted to try and get it cheaper than the $80 on Amazon.

I went to get the pogo dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus on the Play store a few months ago and it said that they were sold out. It said "coming soon" though. So, I put in my email address to be notified when it's available. Then, like you said, it disappeared. They are on Ebay for twice the price. How hard can it be to get these to customers?

I'm just gonna wait until Samsung starts liquidation... it should be soon enough.
I finally got around to calling Samsung today regarding the vehicle and desk dock. I explained to the rep that I have a GSM GN and had already talked directly with Google. Google referred me to them because they sent their inventory back to Samsung.
After some searching he did confirm that Samsung does have both docks in stock even though they are not listed on their website. You'll have to call in to make a purchase. He quoted me:
$19.99 for the Desktop Dock (with pogo pins) + tax and shipping.
$35.99 (I think, I was driving and lost my note) for the Vehicle Dock (with pogo pins) + tax and shipping.
I'm pretty sure the $35 for the vehicle mount is correct as I remember he mentioning the total for both would be around $55. (and some change).
I specifically had him double check that both of these devices came with the pogo pin connections and he confirmed they did. He said by noting to Samsung you have the GSM GN they will default to these docks.
Shipping was actually very reasonable. To ship to Texas it was around $3 for standard 5 business day shipping.
Anyway, If I remember right these prices are much cheaper than what Google was selling them for. I'm sure Samsung wants to get rid of them. If anyone happens to talk to Samsung and gets different prices please post it here. Or, if someone finds them listed at another retailer for cheaper let us all know.
Hopefully they still have some after Christmas when I'll have some extra cash to spend.
I just called Samsung at 1-888-987-4357 Accessory sales (option 3 then 1 than 2) and the only desktop dock that they have in the system is for the Verizon I515 GN.
The Samsung number for the GSM GN I9250 Desktop dock is EDD-D1F2BEGSTD.
If anybody gets one from Samsung let us know where you called and who you spoke to.
Here is a post with all of the accessories that were available for the GSM GN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372908

I don't know, maybe someone else will but my guess is no unless there is a way to adjust the depth of the base the phones rests on. I have a Moto Atrix 2 with the desktop dock and it's made to adjust the height of the USB port so it can work with a case. But I don't think the samsung dock for the GSM GN does that.

Just an FYI, Samsung offered me the same equivalent as they offered you, but the part number he read off to me was for a Nexus S.
And the desktop dock at that price is a sideways USB charger...no POGO.
Of the part numbers I gave him, he showed nothing in stock. Looks like ill be buying a used one on Ebay.

Sure thing. I called: 1-888-987-4357 (same number as posted earlier): I selected Option: 3 for mobile accessories and then I remember selecting another option (probably 1 like the Slupie mentioned) but then on the third option I didn't select anything. I just held on until it told me it would transfer me.
After talking with the Rep on the phone (on Tuesday) - I was very confident that they had both docks (Vehicle and Dock) with the pogo pins. In fact, when I asked for the model number he explained to me that because he had to look it up manually they did not have a model number in their system for it. He explained that they have it listed as "GSM Galaxy Nexus Vehicle Dock" and "GSM Galaxy Nexus Desk Dock" and the wording aligned exactly with what I had written down from my conversation with Google. [I'll even double check this on both my notes when I get home tonight]
I made sure to reiterate that I had a GSM Galaxy Nexus purchased through Google. That Google was selling the 2 docks on their store until recently. And then explained that Google confirmed with me that their system shows all products were sent back to Samsung and then they (Google) proceeded to give me the number at Samsung to call.
He did have to put me on hold for 2-3 minutes until he came back. I asked if he could look at quantity in stock but he explained he was unable to see that. However, he felt confident that they wouldn't be running out of them any time soon (take that with a grain of salt).
Could it be that they sold out of them already and only had a short supply? - Possibly, I suppose.
Either way, before we hung up I went through all the information with him again and explained I needed to be sure these were the correct accessories. I reiterated and asked him to confirm:
These are accessories for the GSM Galaxy Nexus - had him affirm not Sprint or Verizon. And, the most recent model sold by Google Play Store until the Nexus 4.
The Vehicle dock included car charger, it plugged into base, and had pogo pins.
The Vehicle dock was specifically for the "GSM Galaxy Nexus" sold recently by Google. And that it would not work with Verizon or Sprint models.
The Desk Dock included charger and was landscape with pogo pins.
The Desk Dock was specifically for the "GSM Galaxy Nexus" again...sold recently by Google
I can't even iterate how many times I used the phrase "pogo pins" in this conversation.
Anyway, I hope a GN user gets through to a Rep with knowledge and is willing to take the chance on these. If finances weren't so tight coming into Christmas season I would risk the purchase in a heartbeat. I take the stance of: You send me the wrong part off bad information = you pay return shipping and I don't pay restocking fee. I take it as far up as I have to when things like that happen.

If we get this all sorted out and confirmed they do indeed have them maybe we can work something out. Using paypal I'm willing to work with you knowing it's a system designed to help both parities. But, I won't promise anything and we'll look at crossing that bridge when (if) we get there.

Not saying you're lying - but could the model number you wrote down for the desktop dock be wrong? Or maybe a mistype in your post? I used to have the US model numbers written down somewhere and that doesn't look like it. In fact, if I Google the model number you reference the only results in Google are this thread.
Just want to make sure we don't send other users on a wild goose-chase for a model number that is incorrect.
The Official Wireless Charger is finally available in the Play store in the UK for £34.99 (but with £10.99 shipping...)
I have just ordered one and it says ships in 1 to 2 days. Nice.
I am looking for wireless charger, but £46 is little bit too much. Pass

SO tempted to buy one today...
Is there anywhere you can buy it on the high street to avoid the excessive shipping cost? Was annoyed enough about having to pay a tenner to ship the phone itself. Would have ordered both at the same time if i'd known

Tell me about it - I almost bought an LG QuickCover from the Play Store the other week so that would have been almost £33 on shipping given the phone and the wireless. The annoying thing is that if they were all available on launch day I would have bought them all at once saving myself £22...
Anyways, I found the QuickCover for £34.99 on MobileFun with only £2.99 delivery and I have voucher code for £5 off next order so this made it under £30 delivered.
You can also order the Nexus Wireless Charger from there but they don't have it in stock and they are charging £49.99 for the pre-order...

Haha yeah for an O2 XDA Mini S back in the day. Then posted infrequently about each new phone i've had. How about you?
I went to cancel the order of the phone to add a wireless charger and it said I couldn't as it was already being processed for shipping. Then got my email confirmation. When I ordered a couple of hours ago it said the black 32gb would take 2-3 weeks to leave the warehouse!

I think their shipping estimates are pretty conservative. You should love the phone when it arrives - definitely the best I've had.
I was only writing up my phone history the other day:
2013 LG Nexus 5
2012 LG Nexus 4 (1st Nexus)
2012 HTC One X
2011 Samsung Galaxy SII (1st Android)
2010 Apple iPhone 4
2009 Nokia N900 (1st that was actually a computer)
2008 Apple iPhone 3G (1st iPhone)
2007 Nokia N95 (1st with decent camera)
2006 HTC TyTn
2006 HTC Universal (1st with VGA display)
2005 HTC Magician (1st Windows Mobile & reason I joined XDA)
2004 Nokia 7610 (1st with 1MP camera)
2004 Nokia 6600 (1st Symbian)
2003 Nokia 7250 (1st with a camera)
2002 Sony Ericsson T68 (1st with colour display)
2000 Nokia 8210
1999 Nokia 3210
Why do Google's P&P charges seem inversely proportional to the item cost? A nexus 5 should cost more to ship than a quick cover, you would think?
It's a money-making exercise as when I bought my Nexus 5 and bumper case I paid for one lot of postage. No doubt if I'd waited until now to get this as well I'd still only be paying one lot of £10.99
Having said that, I'm still gonna get one - maybe two - of these...

What's in the box

I'm hoping that's just Google being lazy updating the website. Can whoever gets one of these in the UK confirm what adapter comes with it?
I hesitated when I saw the delivery charge but have been waiting for this so I thought what the hell and ordered one.... looking forward to getting it

Here in Germany the sentence is translated into German, but it still says 'for use in USA and Canada only'... Weird...
-> "Netzteil mit 9 W, 1,8 A AC (nur zur Verwendung in Kanada und den USA)"
---- EDIT ----
I just reached the German Google support hotline and the guy from Google told me, that we all get the US/Canada Adapter and have to buy a converter or something like that ourself...
I asked Google why P&P gets cheaper when the item gets bigger and heavier, and their reply was that Parcelforce set the charges, and Google have no say in it.

I hope that's not true!
Just received shipping notification so will find out soon enough.
Received shipping notification myself earlier so should see tomorrow if the correct adaptor is included - will not be happy if it comes with US plug!
