... Is anybody here also feeling kind of 'meh' about the keyboard case? (granted, haven't seen it in person, so my opinion might change once I do).

Where's the picture?

read its 120 usd...imo it should come with n9....

for $120 it is expensive. I have seen much better logitech bluetooth keyboard for iPad. I hope we get similar keyboards for nexus 9.

Well, isn't a varying look something good?
I have hoped that Google would do something without bluetooth, but it looks a lot like this device has its own battery, gets connected via bluetooth (maybe automatically via NFC) and only comes in one layout ("ANSI" US. Because there are no people outside of murica.)
But maybe I'm wrong and it won't die in a day or two of usage -which would be nice - maybe it won't be complete and utter garbage.
Anyways, I'll order one, same goes for the N9, keep it for 12 days and send that sh*t back. Thanks EU for enforcing the right to return unsatisfactory products bought online. :good:

$120? That is beyond absurd. I'm sure someone else will swoop in with one for well under half that price. Google is pricing everything like they are Apple these days. Guess we'll have to start paying a Google tax now!

Google is really trying to kill what nexus once stood for! Maybe android silver is upon us with that nice shiney SILVER nexus 6 and a nice shiney SILVER alloy round the sides of the nexus 9
I was looking at the specs for the first time EVER!!! of a (apple) air 2 :crying: :crying:
WTF is going on........ I will order the nexus 9:good: but in future will seriously be looking elsewhere
My next phone will not be the Nexus 6. It will be the Oneplus 2! This company has the same values nexus once had. Very intresting time for the oneplus gang nice hole in the market.

Some people will, after all people are stupid enough to by an ipad for $900. I think it will sell, but no in any large volumes. I am buying the folio case because for $40 its not a bad deal and it looks nice.

daaaaamn... $177.... If looking hard enough and have some good luck, you may even find a Nexus 7 2013 for close to that price.
And paying such a high price for a keyboard that in my opinion looks kind of generic (like many you'd see in an Amazon search), I wonder what HTC is thinking or is really offering that justify the price, because if we go by looks, this keyboard ain't it.

Google doesn't care much what we say or think. All they "care" about (in aggregate) is that we're buying them.

Please stop it with this "Google is betraying us"-nonsense. They are a company just like any other company that deploys market strategies to build a brand and to monetize afterwards, just like any other, and they can sell their products at the price they see fit. It is up to you to agree or not with your wallet. Google doesn't owe us anything. Geesh!

What people need to know is that this keyboard is a mechanical keyboard, much more quality than those iPad/Logitech keyboards, I also think it's still kinda overpriced but just so you know

If you can get lucky and find one at a TMO store, but I doubt it. They aren't making anymore.
Is there a possibility for worldwide shipping? I'm from Brazil and my chances for getting to a T-Mo store are zero (finding a Desire Z around here was an epic quest already)... So my only chance for finding this one-of-a-kind dock is through a eBay auction.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english!
Btw this is my first post here... Really great forum, lots of great stuff and resources!

It's because people don't know how to bid on ebay. A 6-day auction starts at .99 cents and someone bids $15 right off the bat. There's still 6 days left! Save your big bidding for the last 5 minutes of the auction. That's of course, from the buyer's point of view.
From the seller's point of view however, it's great! I've been there. ROGUE7474, well done sir, you are gonna make a good profit on your sale
*disclaimer: in case someone here gets hurt by my comments, it's just my opinion, bid away.

Value of new Transformer and Dock

Hey guys,
I haven't been keeping up with store prices and availabilities lately, but what's a good private sale price for a brand new unopened TF101-A1 and the dock? Would it make more sense to try to sell on eBay internationally? Suggestions?
Thanks y'all!
Sent from my RubiX CubeD XtremE MT4GS using xda premium
Cheapest price I have ever seen for a new 16gb transformer tf101 w/o dock was 250$ on black Friday. With dock I have seen a new one for 430$ Canadian during a sale a few months back.
I keep looking at selling mine on swappa.com. It's a website for selling used android devices in case you have never heard of it. The cheapest that has sold used on there has been 325$
I am planning on selling mine with an hdmi cable for 300$ so I can get back some of my investment to use towards a prime (whenever that comes out lol). That's why I have been doing a bit of research on prices in the past few weeks.
Ripping people off makes me feel guilty.
Personally I don't think the tablet is worth less than 300$ unless its damaged or stolen, and the dock is worth at least 90$ if it's in great condition. Some places sell it for 149$ still.
GameStop currently has brand new Transformer for $299....
The cheapest it has ever been was $249 at Best Buy during Black Friday. I bought two as presents at that price as I already have mine. 2x249=$499. Same price as the Prime but you get 2:1..

That is online though - what about at the local stores? Surely they still home some somewhere (a co-worker got one the other day)..
Thanks for the input so far... Are the docks pretty much staying consistent at the $149 price? I'm not trying to rip anyone off either; just doing the same and collecting funds for the Prime I've got preordered lol

Take a look here
I was just at Best Buy in Rancho Bernardo, CA today and the docks are $99. I suspect the value of our Transformers will tank as soon as people start getting their hands on the Prime. Luckily I will be able to take mine back to Best Buy when mine comes in.
Got someone coming to buy the set for $450 in the morning, which seems pretty consistant with the prices y'all are saying in here ($349 + $99). Thank for all the input!
Sold!
Got it sold for $450 with dock, no hassle. A thanks click has been given to everyone who contributed!
for a bit of perspective, i just bought a 6 month old Tf101, 16GB, with dock and an 8Gb microSD card for £360 shipped in the uk.
am happy with that deal!

NEW/SEALED ASUS Transformer & Dock - $450 (Spaghetti Junction)
One new TF101-A1 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (16Gb), and its accompanying dock. These are both new SEALED IN THE RETAIL BOX units shipped directly from ASUS. Originally $399 + $149, this is about $100 less than getting it retail, and you don't have to worry about shipping, etc. This *will* be getting the Google Android 4.0 ("Ice Cream Sandwich") update, but it is not available yet! It *IS* rootable, but that responsibility is yours; I can try to do it for you after you've purchased it, but I will not do so beforehand.
PLEASE:
- Know what the Eee Pad Transformer is. I had someone who came to buy it and wanted to open the package because he didn't know how it compared to an iPad. I will NOT break the seal before you buy it; there are plenty of used ones on Craigslist if you want to see what one looks like.
- Do not email me with scams. That means no shipping this, no money orders, no food stamps, and no Brazilian currency. Brazilian women are an exception.
- I'm mostly firm on the price, but if you have something you think might be of value to me, or want to try to negotiate, feel free to email me. Do NOT, however, try to negotiate once I've agreed to a price and meeting you. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours.
- Feel free to email me with questions about this if you have any!

That's pretty cool!
I bought an HP sleeve from BB that was an exact fit to the TF101/dock, but now that I'm switching to just the TF201 (I don't think I need the dock), I doubt it'll be something I use... It'll be time to start finding a decent case/sleeve/etc...
Funny. The Transformer sans dock is $299 at Best Buy right now.

Spotted a desk cradle from Asus

Haven't seen anyone mention it yet, and it's not in the desk cradle compilation.
So yea a desk cradle is coming, compatible with the TF201, TF300, tf500? And the TF700.
It gives an Ethernet port, 2x usb and it routes the audio jack to the dock as well.
Link from a german etailer: http://www.cyberport.de/notebook-un...ation-fuer-tf201-tf300t-tf500-und-tf700t.html
Seems pretty pricey at around 70€ but it's exactly what I've been looking for.
Opinions or thoughts? And what's this tf500 that's mentioned?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
Interesting...I'd get it if by the time it hits the States there's a drop in that price...

Its about time. The keyboard dock is overkill when you just want to watch a video. It looks like the dock is foldable. The one one on the right looks like its closed.

Good Find. It would be especially nice if it included a power adapter at that price...
Personally I wish it had an HDMI port. Then it would be a perfect desktop docking station... just drop the tablet in and you have a suitable desktop replacement, assuming I can find a way to improve the output resolution to my monitor.
Some good pix on the Dutch Amazon site ( I can't post links due to XDA rules for noobs)... but it is dubbya-dubbya-dubbya (dot) amazon (dot) de (forward slash) dp/B008OMGT9W?m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&tag=preissuchmasc-21
Most of the sites claiming to have this dock (the images are all renders) either don't have it in stock OR claim it is currently out of stock
The amazon link above says it "Usually ships on 1 to 2 months" lol... ok.
Says in stock
According to this its in stock in Germany!

Dutch is the language from The Netherlands. What you have there is Germany. Which is the big country on the east next to us. They speak GERMAN. Even if you've never seen a map with the world that lies beyond the US borders, surely you should at least have had history classes. Silly Americans...
Especially obvious from the .DE (Deutschland!), as opposed to the .NL (Netherlands!) in the URL.
We don't even have an Amazon site....
that wasnt the page where it said it was available. Thats just the one I posted cause it looked the nicest. :silly:

Interesting, great find!!
On the off chance I placed an order for the dock that was found on Amazon.de and just received a message that it is due to be shipped on the 11th of October. I know it's expensive but I'll let you know what it's like when I get it.
This is the item and if you look closely you'll see that they have 5 in stock.

Once you get your hands on it, could you please do a review of your experience with it. I would be interested to know more about the product and whether it is worth the price before committing to buying one - if they have any left in stock, that is...
A few simple clicks and here's the actual shop with more specs:
http://www.pcking.de/eshop.php?acti...Dock+-+Docking+Station&s_supplier_aid=2864771
Can be ordered already. The TF500 is NOT mentioned on the site. That's just Amazon being silly.
For anyone near Köln: PC-King, Luisenstr. 86 A - B 53721 Siegburg, Nordrhein-Westfalen
Hm, Siegburg's not that far from Köln, might drop by there at some point if I can find the money for the thing.

2012 Nexus 4 did. On the release day in November, was supposed to go on sale at 8am PDT, but really went live 15 minutes early. By the time people signed on at the top of the hour, stock was GONE. SOLD OUT. Weeks later came back, then disappeared just as quickly -- like in 30 minutes. Cat and mouse until January when supply stabilized.
The 2011 Gen3 Galaxy Nexus was not initially on Google Play, being added later months after release. It was called Google Market back then and was not as developed as it is now.
Expect most of us to not get this phone until the end of the year. Sad truth, but high demand and low supply is the reason.
it will sell out with in 5 minutes after the release. The demand is too high.

Although there have been hints that AMZ may carry it (and possibly others?) when released @ Play.
Another pointless thread. Either it will sell out or Google learned from the Nexus 4. Only time will tell. This is just stupid!
I'm getting on for sure I'm comfortable enough working to buy an expensive phone

Amazon? really? hmm that's surprising. T-mobile will sell the nexus 5 but it will be over priced. I remember buying nexus 4 for $600 because it was sold out on google play.

Im simply trying to judge what people think based on past releases. I couldnt find any information from some quick searches on my phone about past releases, so I thought I would ask.
Thanks for your help! :good:

Nexus 4 release was a cluster****. I think Google learned its lesson, and I predict the Nexus 5 release to be smoother. Still, you'll want to be there to order it ASAP. Better safe than sorry.

What people think is pointless, thus a pointless thread. Everyone has an opinion, like a you know what. I reiterate. This is stupid.

NOT pointless, as sometimes history is your guide.
For instance, Google has never released a Nexus phone before November.
January (gen1)
December (gen2)
November (gen3)
November (gen4).
(Yes, January comes after November and December, just like New Year's comes after Christmas.)
The last two years Google has settled on October ANNOUNCEMENTS, followed by November RELEASE. Sure, they can change that, but until you get past January, the Nexus is NOT delayed. Or at least past November, if you are just looking at the last two years.
And knowing the history of the Nexus 4, you know to NOT believe Google's statement when it will go on sale. You know to get in early. The site may go live much earlier than stated.
And knowing how fast the Nexus 4 sold out, you know not to be disappointed if you don't get one right now.
So, it's all useful information.

But if Amazon, might be for CONTRACT phones, like with Sprint, AT&T -- not necessarily Amazon selling for Google. Amazon sells a lot of phones at discount, if you sign a contract with major carrier. They act as an agent for those carriers.

Possible, but they DO off-contract units too...I was hoping El Goog realised their own store is not up to task, and came to their senses! LOL!
Would really love it if Amazon sold it today. Being a Prime member it would be nice to know that I could get it tomorrow for $4. Not only that Google is going to charge me tax. Amazon most likely will not. I will secure one on the Play Store and then check Amazon. If it's there totally buying it there and cancelling the Play Store order.

Yes, Amazon sells the excellent Sony Xperia ZL C6506 off contract. It was Sony's compact version of the Xperia Z and could be considered Sony's version of a Nexus phone -- unlocked, quad core, 5", 1080p, 13MP camera, pentaband HSPA+ with multiple LTE bands. (The C6506 is the North America version.)
It was my back up choice if the Nexus 5 wasn't done right.
Comes in 3 colors. Still a good phone, but Sony needs to update it to Snapdragon 800.

It would also resolve a LOT of international buyers' frustrations, too. That is why the elusive article piqued my interest.

You don't understand why people would be skeptical about random people giving away free ****, who don't use a company email address, and are given a minimal amount of info?
Go figure...

Yeah I have a little problem with email he sent, "We are selling on Amazon.com and we got some free galaxy note 9 accessories available now. will you accept reimbursement after your honest feedback is posted?" Didn't define what they are selling or what they wanted me to buy and "reimbursement" two RED flags.

I also got an email. While the whole deal might be legit, it didn't feel right to me. As you said, it's not a company email address, and the wording was odd. He asked that I promise to write a review, and send my amazon link to my reviews. That's not abnormal, but like I said, it didn't make me feel safe, and I try to avoid scams whenever possible.

It's not a scam, it's a small company trying to boost their reviews. I've had the Battery case for over a week and I'm about to review another item from them shortly, been reimbursed the money for everything.

Trying to boost their reviews? Okay.
Well please ensure that your review 100% honest because if it isn't, it's just misleading people to buy something that is actually not worth the money.

Of course. The case is exactly the same case ZeroLemon sells, just not branded with ZeroLemon.
I followed up on this - unfortunately it didn't work out for me as I'm in the UK, and the only way to buy the case is on amazon.com, who won't ship it to the UK.
The emails I received from Jayson were helpful and timely, and he never asked for anything other than an "honest review".

I wish they would have done the fingerprint sensor a better access setup instead of just a giant cut out.

Works for me, or use your face or Irises to unlock your device.
I'm not against this but "boosting" reviews via freebies, isn't there a certain word for that ?
