Refurbished lapdock questions

Has anyone received their refurbished lapdock yet? Can you tell it is a refurb? What accessories did it come with (headphones, cords, etc.)?
I want to get one but want to know about what's in the box first.

I received mine. It looks brand new and came with the power supply and a pouch for said power supply. That's it. I don't think the retail version comes with anything else either.

As far as I can tell the only difference is the refurbs come in an AT&T refurb box. I would guess a new one would be in a motor box. But I could be wrong.
My refurb one works great, I love it!!

I got one, but it had a dead pixel on it. I went to an AT&T store and they let me exchange for another refurb.

Add another "mine looks brand new". Came in an ATT box, with all the plastic wrapped bits in place and the plastic on the screen. Just the dock, power supply, and pouch for power supply.

how much did you guys pay for these refurbished laptop docks?

175. From AT&T's website. Great deal compared to $500 and a tethering plan

Got mine for 140. Got lucky with a coupon

Thats a pretty amazing price. Is the coupon still usable?

No, it was like a 10 or 20% off one but the lapdock was not suppose to work for it. Just a glitch on the website. Only lasted like 3 days. I was just lucky and caught a thread on it in the accessory section.

Yet another one with "looks like brand new", except it came with at&t refurbished box instead of original motorola. power adapter and a pouch for that adapter are the only accessories. Only bad thing about it is, no scrolling on touchpad (I would be fine with side area scroll instead of multi touch) but that's not related to the laptop being refurbished.

$140 is just delectable enough for me to jump on it, anything higher no dice. Hopefully one day it will be that way. I wish the phone was a little bit more popular and their would be an alternate maker to produce a cheaper dock, oh well.

Well I ordered mine today and now it's on the way. I can't complain at $175, and I figure I can just ebay it for at least that if I hate it.
Thanks everyone for your help!

It's great, you won't regret it.

Just chatted with Cust support. I get a 35% discount on accessories. She said that if I placed the order $176, called premier cust service and asked that my discount be applied, I would recieve my discount $61.6 and get the dock ofr 114.4!!! I'm going to have to go in at that price.!!!

I got mine for $143 also with some coupon code. Had a scratch on the top lid, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Scratch could've come from the shipping US->EU too, not quite sure. Either way, it's worth that price

amazon don't send to spain

Hi, I want to buy some accessories in amazon uk, but curiosly if I choose a screen protector, it doesn' t let me to buy it because they say they can´t send this product to spain, but a stylus pen and an adaptor yes.
Somebody knows why?

Most likely the specific item is not sold through Amazon itself, but through a partner.
Partners can set their own rules as to where they will allow shipment.
This is even the case when the item is sold by a partner, but fulfilled by Amazon.
The reason for this is typically that the partner has a distributor agreement with the vendor for only specific countries, and yours is not one of them. So your supposed to purchase it through a local supplier, which if you manage to find them will likely charge you more.

I hate it when things like that happen too, just use Ebay mate. Lol

I believe I will run to ebay.

You may want to try amazon.de or amazon.co.uk, they have a slightly different shipping policy. Or just go ebay, as RavenY2K3 suggested.

After the stuff Spain pulled on the Amazonians you think they'd want to ship stuff to you? J/K....

thanks, I tried in co.uk and same situation, I will try in .de .

You do know that amazon.es sells screen protectors, right? The selection isn't as good but at least shipping will probably be less expensive.

OMG Is my P605 a fake.

Just checked over my device and some you tube video posts.. a few things.
I got the P605 from ATGSM.com.
The box was sealed with sticker and all.
Inside the box there were no replacement stylus tips (as seen in all the you tube reviews)
Also the box does not look like any of the boxes i see in the reviews. I take it that the version they shipped me is originally the Hong Kong.
There were no specs on the box.
Did I get a fake...a clone....... What do I do now. I can post a pic of the box if you need to see it.
I need some serious help. I paid over $700 for this device. I just want to make sure its the real deal. Especially seeing how there are so many fakes out there. Please help.

Your box is not the same as the one in these video's, so I see what you are talking about. Besides the extra tips was anything else missing or different is your box? Your tamper sticker looks like it was placed over another one, what do you think when you look at it?
Can you post more photo's like side label and front of your box.

I bought a P605 via Negri Electronics a couple of weeks ago, and it was in an identical box to the one in your picture. My box also didn't have any spare stylus tips. Also had a Hongkong style adapter, which Negri provided a US adapter in the outer package.
I suppose the HK version just doesn't come with spare tips?
It seems real to me.

I bought my N-8000 and SM-P601 from Negri and had no issues. The only problems I heard regarding the N3 and Negri was that some carrier devices they sold, mostly T-Mobile, that had their IMEI's reported stolen after people received them and started using them. Since Negri doesn't build devices and most of what they sell is grey market and imported from other countries they are kind of at the mercy of their suppliers. As far as I know they stood behind the devices with bad IMEI's and replaced or refunded them. If you're in the U.S. and buying a SM-P601/5, no matter who you're buying it from, you're taking a chance as to its origins, condition, and country of sale (which can't be the U.S. because neither is sold here). And know that none of them have a Samsung warranty because they're grey market. Negri, Expansys, and NewEgg are the biggest sellers of Samsung grey market devices in the U.S. and I've purchased from all three. My experiences have been fine but I've heard complaints (some horror stories) on all three. With grey market goods there's no such thing as Best Buy. And Amazon doesn't count; all their unlocked devices are sold via marketplace sellers.

They were selling used as new
They were selling stolen as new
They were selling phones with the seals broken that were still locked as unlocked and new
They were selling Phones that were rooted as new
They were selling Phones that were already Knox tripped as new
This is just a small list of the things they pulled
If you read the TMO Note 3 thread thread, I don't know how you would do business with them, absolutely despicable.

I'd read the thread before I bought my P-601 from them. All their Samsung HSPA devices come from the Samsung dealer in Trinidad. They had the P601 before anyone else reselling them in the U.S. did and it arrived in its shrink wrap and was perfect. The shrink wrapped Trinidadian N-8000 I got last year arrived with a bad display. Negri paid return shipping and overnighted me a new one (which was perfect). I asked where their LTE P-605's came from and they said Asia. I personally am not interested in any Asian-sourced imports because the s/w and Hub access are funky when used in the U.S. Software wise, Trinidad and Latin America are the most compatible. That's why I got a P-601. When people ask me where to buy Samsung grey market devices I mention the three company's above. I share my experiences (and the horror stories, lack of warranty, and other risks) and tell them to avoid PayPal (Amazon Payments is an option with Negri) and use a "customer friendly" credit card like Amex. I'm sorry some people got burned over the N3 but it doesn't change my positive experiences.

Same problem but got the solution.

In Canada we are told we get it as early as the 17th, the free gearVR comes 2-6 weeks after that.

In the UK we get a free Samsung speaker! Would much prefer the vr headset. Plugging into my marantz amp and Bose speakers ain't hard!

Think i'll try and sell my free speaker on and get the fast charge pad, would rather have that
Although with Amazon already selling the speaker for 50 quid i won't hold my breath........anyone wanna swap a speaker for wireless charging pad? :angel:

We got ours even earlier

In Slovakia and Czech Republic nothing .... we will get mobile phone 8 days sooner. What a perfect gift. Wrrr.

Yes CPW. Also seems to be a free speaker from most other networks/shops

if I read the samsung website right, we get the VR headset here + for $99 gets you the AKG bluetooth headphones and 256gb microsd card. Seems like a good deal for $99 and if true I'll be jumping on that.

yes finally you will receive your unit in the same time of us who bought it in other stores than Samsung but without the speakers..date for everyone whatever you buy it in pre order is the 20 Apr:good:

Yes, bought from Samsung UK direct pre-order and recieved a crappy bag and a cloth case (please tell me what's it for).
Cheesed off that others recieved useful gifts. I think if you pay via PayPal monthly you received free insurance.
