I picked up the keyboard/dock combo 2 month ago for $50. Beats buying a new Photon doc for around $100.
Nice work Sir

Very cool. I need to upgrade my laptop for school and this might be an option.
I know this is an old thread, but by doing this, are you able to use the xoom dock as a charger and speaker as well?
My Xoom dock does not charge my electrify, Haven't tried to use it for webtop, or anything really, but before I got my dock for the electrify I did try it on the xoom dock and no charging went on. Didn't even think to try the xoom dock for speakers and hdmi though, maybe I'll give it a shot.

Confirmed! Bionic Lapdock works with the Photon without any Mods!

Went to the Verizon store today and had the store reps put my Photon into a Lapdock. Worked just fine. plug and play. the only thing, which is also the obvious thing, the Photon hung off the right side about a third of the phone. =)
I think I will wait for a bit till the prices fall.
Great find! Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. I hope they start selling refurb units in the next coming months, or possible even coming out with one for the Photon.
Its nice to have options now!

If that's the case than the Webtop Adapter will work (more than likely). Which is a cheaper way of doing the Webtop.

Why would you waste your money on that adapter when all you have to do is root and do the Webtop over HDMI hack ? That Webtop Adapter has got to be the joke of the year as far as rip-offs go...
Can someone post some pics?
So if the photon hung of the dock side did it expose the front camra so you could use it for video chat?

i blve i would wait ive tried both and i like the og atrix way better
I just upgraded to the Atrix 2 (old phone is borked). It's not much of an upgrade, TBH - I wouldn't actively seek it out.
Don't waste your money on the atrix 2. The oringinal atrix has a better dual core processor made by a better company, more dev support, and better features like the fingerprint scanner. The atrix 2 also has a slight camera lag.

The ATRIX 2 is not an upgrade. Its less of one than the DROID X2 was , and it was essentially a dual core and more meh screen.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G using Tapatalk on AT&T, the company that disappoints me so much that I have to use my tapatalk signature to tell everyone
I've owned both, trust me, it ain't worth the extra bucks, save them for the quad core.
Go big or go home. Go with the Galaxy Note.
Stick with your current atrix the only true upside of the atrix 2 is the 8mp camera withci know for most is not that big a deal. buddy of mine has the atrix 2 he upgraded when his atrix 1 died and he hates it
Plus its so freakin expensive. Its hard to even find an Atrix 2 refurbed or used anywhere

ICS tablet lapdock

Does anyone else think that the ICS tablet interface in webtop means that moto might release a tablet dock with touch just like the phonepad? I would love to buy one. And if it did come out I would feel my purchase was definitely worth the money. Please moto, give us a webtop tabley dock!

Atrix or Razr?

Hi what is best for webtop? And developement?
Looking to buy one (in france) but want to know whats the best ?
Atrix still has plenty of dev support. It's a little slow right now since we are waiting for ICS, but once that comes out then we will have CM9/10 goodness to look forward to.
ICS is scheduled to be released anytime between now and Oct 1st...

Maybe Razr is better.Atrix still hasn't ICS.MOTO pays more attention toRazr.

I can`t wait to get the ics goodyes my first android phone was a motorola defy ,it was a great phone but the fact that nothing official was realeased for it made me sell it after that i got the crappy g2 for htc and nwo i have the gorgeous atrix wich i love for its design battery and performance and after the ics update IT WILL BE THE BEST PHONE EVER
The Razr is a better phone IMO. The Atrix is great and has served me well but I feel that the Razr is better if you can find one priced similarly to the Atrix. Also, the Razr feels better built than the Atrix. Maybe its just me against plastic, but Kevlar is way cooler. Both phones have awesome dev communities though.

Razr is defiantly the better phone, it also tends to cost more. For the price of Razr you can get Atrix plus lapdoc. So, it depends on your budget.

Atrix! Just sold my recently acquired razr: No fingerprint reader, Webtop 3.1 sucks! And lapdocks too! So big and so thin to get it hold... Ics? Someday we'll see it on our Atrix so no big deal!
Nothing like an Atrix with a good custom rom and the Webtop2sd or ubuntop mod.

Razr is a little too big. But Razr max has really great battery and this is only reason for me to think about it.
