I want to pick up the lapdock 500 for my razr but it has been sold out for some time. Does anyone have an idea when it will be back in stock, maybe friday?
I'm curious, did you ever see a price it will be? The 100 is $199 so I guess the 500 will be $299?

Mmh... Personally, I don't like it at all. It's sized like a laptop and it's ugly.
If I want a laptop with me, I'll take my Toshiba with me.....
I'm happy with the first Lapdock for ATRIX: small, light and good battery consumption. I'll use it for RAZR too.

Yes here is the link for the verizon page location. I sent them an email and they said it is available in some stores but no date on when it will be for sale online.
I can look tomorrow to see if we have one if you'd like.

screw the lapdock I want that HD Station http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQeFpOu6en8
i think buy the 100
small = portable!
Are you kidding... Like a month ago i wasted like $370 on a new quad core desktop that I barely use.. I generally just consume media and really have no use for an os like windows7. Hell, I'm just gonna give the computer to my mom and get a sweet HD monitor and get this dock.

Indeed, that is pretty sweet!
You can get the lapdock 500 from Verizon website now.... got mine today. I was told that they would not be available in stores.
Ordered mines...coming in 8 hours....and counting down..
One day later...
Got it in. Will upload pictures later tonight. Lovin this new lapdock.
I do not know about the 500, but the 100 has a dull and blurry display. Not worth $65 I paid for an Atrix lapdock, yet alone $200.
I suggest getting the Atrix lapdock, even at the current highest price of $147 (can be found for less):
Display is very sharp and has good color, unlike the awful 100.
The 11.9" display seems a good size and more portable than the 500, plus at least $100 less.
USB ports work great with 64GB thumbdrives and mice.
VZW should have had the connectors of the Atrix lapdock modded and sold it.
Only catch is a little mod of the dock.

I'm also happy with my Atrix LapDock, paid $99 shipped from eBay. I just pulled the 2 connectors out of the unit and plug them in my phone that way. It's flat (the 500 is not), it's thin, and I like the 11.5" screen size, same size and weight as my Macbook Air 11.

ShabbyPenguin posted this in the Photon general section because it gets more hits. I figured some people here would want this since it's the right price.
It should work with the Razr as it does the Photon via simple mod, Thanks to CDThomas9. Here's his mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223032
I just bought one.
Does anyone know if it'll work with the 4G on the Razr out of the box? On AT&T supposedly it only works on wifi unless you buy a tethering package.
damn.... cant get it in canada it seems....
bah!!! I want to pick up two, but alas us canucks are left out in the cold. Damn it. anyone know if this is available in store?
well i just reserved one from a store for tomorrow. Going to see if I can get it to work with the Razr

u have to mod it. but its not a huge deal. takes 5 mins. it will sit like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm_m1ZpunOA
im in canada right now too. u get raped on everything up here. when i bought my phone, i had to pay 75 for customs on top of the 50 i already paid for shipping.
sorry to bring bad news but, it looks like that deal is over now. its been showing it for $99 for a few hours now.
That why I called earlier today and talked with the manager. they reserved it and post noted that it will still be $50
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the Atrix Lapdock. First, with the removal of the four screws shown in the Photon thread over at XDA, the HDMI and USB wires become free. It plugs right in and fires right up! No webtop or other mods needed. Mobile data works fine as well, in the att description, it says you need tethering for it to work, but i just have a grandfathered unlimited plan, and it works fine. the phone sits on the back ok, but with nothing much more than the wires to hold it in place. Other than that I can only complain about how close the touchpad is to the spacebar, but it can be disabled by double-tapping the top left corner. I got mine in-store, they will price match the web site, just FYI.

I'm not talking about the ports (I can handle that).
I'm curious whether it will work on 4G or not. Supposedly, you couldn't use the full-featured browser on the Dock unless you paid AT&T extra, but I don't know if VZW has a similar restriction, or if it works on this particular peripheral.
ok so i bought one, i aos bought these so i dont have to convert anything
can't post links so look these up on ebay
Micro USB B Male Female M/F Extension Charging Cable
New Hdmi Female To Mini Hdmi Male Cable Adapter M/F M F F/M Converter Cables Pc
and
Micro HDMI socket Female to HDMI Male adapter convertor
looks like it should cover it for connections.
anyone find better please let me know.
4G works perfectly. The lapdock is a little sluggish but hell for $50 I'm not complaining. I actually flipped the contacts around. I had to dremel the holes a little but other than than, a perfect fit. The phone sits upside down in the dock.

It depends on your budget and needs.
The Atrix Lapdock had been available for $50-$70. Now it is more like $130. You can modify it at no additional cost to work perfectly with the Razr. You have to reverse the connectors and shave off a bit of plastic. It takes about 10-20 minutes and requires no real technical skill.
That said, the 500 works right out of the box and has a better keyboards and bigger screen, a VGA out, webcam and Ethernet port. It weighs 3.4lbs.
The Atrix dock has a 11.5 inch screen, weighs 2.4 lbs and has some ergonomic issues (track-pad a bit sluggish and the screen does bend back as far as I'd like.
So I've been wanting a tablet for a while and I missed the chance to get a TP when the fire sale happened. My dad just bought a Transformer Prime and that's pretty sweet but I don't want to shell out $600. So is this a good buy? Is it worth the $250-$300?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Well, ask yourself this. Do you not want ANY issues? If so then no it's not worth it. I enjoy mine very much, but I have pretty much made the issues with the TP part of my normal usage routine. Like when it dies ( uh oh, sometimes doesn't like to come back on for a while), or when I reboot I have to re setup my wifi network and sometimes it just decides it doesn't want to do the whole auto rotate for me. However the apps run smooth, sound is great ( when the screen is on lol ). Downloading games no problem ( just once again don't let the screen shut off while its downloading sd files ). Oh and no camera unless in webos. So here is my last piece to help u with.
New android tab: 399-700ish
New tp 32gb: about 300
pros: nice size display, bright, loud, very smooth, decent batt life, can connect to many peripherals: wii remote, ps3 controller, mouse, keyboard, etc...
cons: camera only on front, issues with rom i posted up top, no external memory
hope this helps some
I have had my touch pad for almost 2 months, with cm on it for almost as long. The ONLY problem I've had with it is the camera not working.
I've had none of the problems the above user has. Works great, and is only getting better. And $299 is a bit steep. My 32 gig with case and speed charger was $225 shipped

Good luck getting a 32 with accessories for $200. I'm letting one of mine go for $280 plus shipping with touchstone and keyboard. But mine has carbon fiber wrap and two used cases. Still thinking about listing on eBay cause it should fetch $300 easy cause the wrap got put on right after open so its about as new looking as possible.

Im a noob (first android rooted phone in november) and i love my $180 16gb TP. Im running 30-31 AOKP and the ONLY issues are front camera and having to turn on and off the wifi (quick settings double tap) when coming out of sleep or switching locations.
For the price the only other options are the kindle fire and nook. and those dont support HD video or even ui hardware acceleration. You would have to spend $300 for a used/reconditioned true ICS tablet with the same features and battery life.
The TouchPad is awesome in my opinion. No real issues running android except the camera and microphone, but that could come to us down the road. Everything else runs well. If you havent used webOS, you may even like that OS better. The ONLY downside to webOS is the lack of apps. But if you dont even use that many apps, you wont even notice. Running both operating systems at the same time is nice.
As far as pricing, a 16gb version, you might be able to get for $200 with one or two of the following: case, wall charger, screen protectors. Add a touchstone charger to it and it will be maybe $50 more. If you get a 32GB version, add another $30 or so. I got my 32 GB TouchPad for $230 off of ebay and it came with a case and wall charger. I'm planning on getting a touchstone charger eventually.

Have you even seen it and know what it does? Its a charger that sits on a table/desk/whatever, and you just sit your Touchpad on it and it charges. No plugging in cables to charge. It also acts as an adjustable stand. This is one of the best accessories Palm started with their webOS phones. I loved the Touchstone for the Palm Pre Plus. Can't wait to use one with my TouchPad.

Is it a 16 gig or 32 gig? A 16 gig is a good deal, a 32 gig is a great deal! I recently got a 32 gig for 200 with case and touchstone dock.
$200-250 seems to be price point for a 32GB model.
Ha got my 32gb model for 160 on Craigslist with no problems :-D
I'm living on a yellow submarine
I was browsing ebay last week and it seems that the 32 gig is selling for the same price or cheaper than the 16 gig. I was kind of surprised tbh.
I just got a 32gb off Craigslist for 175 with a case. Its brand spanking new barley used. Soon as cm9 is fixed it will be amazing

I honestly don't think any model of TP is worth over $200 used. Considering the plethora of tablets that are coming out in coming months at increasingly reduced prices, the TP is moving the way of the dinosaur quickly.

Not even close to becoming a dinosaur. The touchpad runs as good if not better then those that have ics on them for a fraction of the price. $200 for a dual boot tablet if a fantastic deal.

I pre-ordered it back in March, received an e-mail on Thursday that it would be sent priority mail (Foc) and I rec'd it yesterday. I was worried because it felt so light in the box, but so far I am quite satisfied.
After having my Nook Tablet docking station for a full day, I can say I am still pleased! I really enjoy the sound quality. My NT has Team-B's CM7 rom on it, in addition to the Volume+ app, and the speakers sound great. I can't say how long it takes to get a full charge on the NT, but it is nice to grab my tablet and go knowing it is fully charged, despite my having using it for several hours. I would and have recommended it to friends and family!

I ordered one of these last week.
It says this current round of orders will ship on May 25th or something like that.
I'm pretty excited. My plan is to use it with this: http://www.nextstepbabymonitors.com/video-baby-monitors/iphone-video-baby-monitor.htm, so that We have a cheap, large screen baby monitor to use in October.
My second plan is to take it on vacation with me for movies/shows, w/o the need of having to take my giant, dated laptop. How do you think it will fare w/ traveling? It probably doesn't get too compact, but that's something I can work around.
Is the speaker volume noticeably louder than the Nook's actual speaker?
Wow, that is a great idea! I love hearing the different ways people are using their NTs. It doesn't fold down too compactly, however, it came in a box about 2/3 the size of an adult shoe box. The sound is quite a bit louder and fuller than the nook alone. I'm sure you will like it (did I mention it weighs next to nothing).
Awesome idea AugustusBot, I haven't seen that camera before. Have you used one, is the quality good?

Save yourself some money and buy the foscam 8910 cameras directly from foscam or from buy.com. sometimes they have a 2 cam deal for 100 dollars. Then go to the maket place and download tinycam. We used this setip as a baby cam and haven't been disappointed.

So now that folks have had these for a while could someone let us know if this charges the nook at full speed or not? My second nook cable just died and it appears they're impossible to get through B&N now.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see it requires an original nook cable (presumable for charging and audio)... I think I found one on CL.
I just ordered a mini HDMI cable from Amazon this morning. But I'm not entirely sure what I will be getting.
I'm using Paranoid Android (ICS, CM9) on my phone, but I don't think it touched the webtop partition. The official webtop coming in ICS from Motorola looks cool, but I'm sure I don't have that. So will I just have HDMI mirroring, or what? My wife's Electrify is pretty much stock, so anything I'm screwed out of for unlocking and using an ICS ROM won't apply to her phone.
(Electrify is Photon minus WiMax/4G, and US Cellular branded; otherwise, same phone.)
Even with the official ICS update all you will get is mirroring as WEBTOP3.0=TABLET MIRRORING. Except for Moto specific apps there is very little difference between the two.

Yep, I'm screwed. I ordered the wrong cable. Didn't know there were 3. Maybe Amazon will let me return it; if not, the mistake only set me back $5.47. That plus what a micro will cost will still be fair.
But I mean, I won't need a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, or dock, just micro to HDMI and I can run Android apps on my TV?

Everyone loves Monoprice, but their prices are 2-3 times or more what Amazon charges. Their prices are great compared with the store, but they're not the cheapest around by far. And my wife's not amused that I wasted five bucks on the wrong cable... Although I see now that my camera requires Mini HDMI, so maybe we'll hold onto the cable. We'd have to eat the shipping cost anyway, I'm sure. Not that I need an HDMI cable for my camera, since my TV doubles as my monitor, but at least the cable isn't useless.
Now I just need an HDMI hub/switch. Second-generation HDTV (if you consider the CRT ones to be first, mine is flat panel but also only 720p) only has one HDMI port. Oh man, Amazon slaughters Monoprice here! Monoprice's cheapest is $24.65 for a 3-in, 1-out switch, but Amazon has one for $9.04. Ouch!
with monoprice you get really solid cables, the cheaper ones are a gamble half the time.
Sent from my mopho
So it's the Monster argument but on a smaller scale? Pay more and the cable works better, or don't pay as much and risk getting a dud? I see a lot of reviews on Amazon saying the cables are fine.
If the HDMI cable on Amazon doesn't work, I'll buy one on Monoprice for 4 times as much, and I'll get it in green, and consider the $1.65 a lesson learned.
no, monster claims better performance, monoprice only makes solid cables that won't have a short in them. I wish you nothing but the best though.
Sent from my mopho
While it was a display port cable, Amazon allowed me to return it with free shipping... however I have Amazon Prime so I got free shipping to begin with as well. No money lost on my part.

And, for me at least, the gamble has always been worth it to save 50% - 75%. I have no experience with monoprice, so entirely possible that I would find their prices quite acceptable.
In my experience, in the real world electrons really are very non-picky. Give them a path from A-B on a reasonable guage metallic conductor with reasonable quality connectors. It is that simple.
As I posted in another thread, someone did a double-blind test with a soldered string of dry cleaner hangers vs. Monster speaker cable. Nobody could tell the difference!
in the large quantity I've bought, I've had quite a bit of doa cables, just a hassle id rather avoid, but paying monster prices is just stupid.
Sent from my mopho
Well, I got the cables, and the mini HDMI is indeed the wrong one (not that I doubted you guys). And the HDMI cable works. No dud. $1.65 got me a cable that works. I'll take that luck.
Photon didn't get an official ICS release. We're talking about Moto's ICS that they've been advertising, and rolling out for other phones, like the Droid RAZR. You can find it on YouTube on Motorola's channel, and it's probably been posted around XDA as well.
Finally ordered a proper micro HDMI cable. The mini HDMI cable fit our camera. We never figured on using the feature, but now we have the cable and it didn't even cost that much. No real loss I guess.
Got the Micro for $2.58. Amazon again. Free shipping again.
Disappointing.
I'm running AOKP right now, and all I got was mirroring, i.e. whatever was on my screen showed up on the TV. However, rotating it rotated it on the TV, but it stayed within a portrait frame, making it sideways. There's apparently no way to fill your screen, at least not that I could tell.
I'll test my wife's phone later. Locked, not rooted, and even running the stock launcher. Complete vanilla Electrify running Gingerbread, 2.3.5. Should be the same as an off-the-shelf Photon.
Much cooler on my wife's phone. Seemed to look better on the TV, and rotation worked. Looked kinda crappy (stretched). Played Asphalt 6 -- much cooler than playing it just on the phone. Still a crappy racing game though.
I suspect it not working well with the JB ROM is due to lack of drivers. So if you updated your Photon to 2.3.5 and you're sad that you can't unlock, know that you at least have this advantage, such as it is, over those of us who did unlock. And take advantage of it, I got the cable for under $3.
