AT&T no longer sells it. The supposed links to the dock on ebay actually lead to other docks.
Would anyone be willing to sell their clampshell adjustable angle official asus padfone x dock?
I am also looking for one too
There's a sketchy website that claims to sell it, but apparently doesn't ship to the United States. If you know someone in Malaysia maybe you can get one, and if so get multiple and make a small profit on ebay. I'd be willing to send some money to someone if they ARE able to get this accessory in hand from this site.

It's not a sketchy website, it's one of the biggest dealers in Malaysia for smartphones and accessories. I've probably bought half a dozen phones from them. They're currently the only dealer I know off in this country selling these accessories.
I'd be able to get the accessory in hand, but I wouldn't trust mailing OUT of Malaysia to the US. I don't mind helping someone purchase some, if you have someone I could pass it to. Of course, they do delivery as well, so if you do have someone locally, you may as well get them to send it to the person.
Oh, that's good to hear. I found a proxy shipping company that says they will send to the US on my behalf, I will try ordering it through them. I'm open to recommendations if you know of any others.

Like I said, we (a group of users in Malaysia) haven't heard of anyone else bringing these in. Singapore is much more reliable, some of us have bought accessories from their shops.

so where can get get one that works in the US?
Non works with US 3G yet
ebay or import one, only work on edge until north american version is released and even then it only has ATT 3G bands if that is important to you
T-Mobile USA
Simple question guys. I think the answer is 'yes' but I want to verify this with people w/ more experience.
Does the UK version of the Hero work w/ T-Mobile USA data network?
I'd like to get the Hero but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't work w/ my provider.
Sorry guys...found the answer on another thread
noob mistake
How trustworthy does this seller look to you guys?

It's cheaper than handtec, which is the best value I've found..
$400?! that's suspicious .. everyone else has it starting from $634
refurbished? it says new ..
the store has zero rating in google shopping
ohhh, now i see why, i'm sure they messed up the currency sign, hero costs 400 british pounds
That's possible.. but everything else on the site is also in dollars and relatively cheap compared to other places.
I guess it is too suspicious though, I'm not going to touch that one.
thinking about buying from mobilegadgetsonline.com
if anyone out there HAS bought from there i would appreciate a quick note about it.
i am thinking of buying from there as they are CHEAP!! CHEAP !! CHEAP!
but as some of you, i am skeptical as well.
they say that they are a new store, with new goods....
trying to obtain a sound customer base.
they also stated that the promo prices (which are fantastic) end on July 31st.
hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!?
if its to cheap.....
the alarm bells would be ringing for me
do your homework before you buy.
I would not deal with any company that does not have a land line phone number to call. Not that it makes a difference.
No Whois information either - I know for dot com it not needed, but hay. BEWARE
THATS A SCAM i recently purchased a hero from them and got an email saying ur order can not be prossesed because our credit card processors are down and you must send cash or money order your credit card was not charged
JerryBarcenas, which site did you buy it from so we can know where not to get it.
I'm waiting for the hero to come to the us and will hopefully get my unlocked hero by october/november
that mobilegadgetsonline is a scam however the next cheapest i found was integrontechnologies.com its 599 free shipping and has google checkout ill try them next if not ill just got to expansys i trust them
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
I guess I would recommend everyone to buy from expansys if they wanted to be safe.
Just saw this site:
http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/...4-01-10-Zpad-DOCK-G-tablet-Dock-HDMI-LAN.html
They said about 15days to U.S
In my experience: 10days or so.
update(01/11(beijing time)) The price drop have been over.. maybe they will have the next point..

I dont know if it is compatible with Advent Vega. But the Advent Vega and Zpad looks Very similar.I think that might be malata OEM products.
You can find a guy who has the DOCK from UK. ask them this thing.
Says they cannot process commercial or business credit... I'm only trying to use a debit card. Odd. Maybe its automatically trying to run as credit because its a MasterCard as well? Bah.. oh well.
Why not paypal?

Ah, sorry to hear that. Why not pay it with paypal?
As far as I know, you can use the credit card (VISA or MasterCard) and paypal.
I do not know more
Just ordered one. Paid via PayPal. Thanks for the tipoff!
No body like this pirce???

That's true... I could use PayPal and have PayPal process from my card instead.. I stopped using PayPal because it wouldbtake forever to transfer money from my bank, but I forgot they gave that option now, which seems to work well. I'm going to order this weekend now.. lol thanks.
Edit: any comments on viewing angle and how steady the gtab is in this dock? I was thinking I might be able to throw some Velcro on the bottom of this thing and the dash of my car and use it as a car mount as well if it wasn't too obstructive to view. I always use it for music. Anything is safer than trying to quickly reach for my passenger seat at red lights. Lol
Based on my recent experience shopping with aliexpress.com, AKA AliBaba, i would recommend anyone to be very/very careful placing an order with them.
I placed my order on 12/11/10, paid by paypal and i am still waiting for item to arrive; the company has so far sent me three emails automatically extending the delivery date and i just asked for a refund; they extended the delivery date again.
What is strange is that the company uses what looks like the standard official paypal login screen; The money was taken out of my bank account with a paypal referral # and yet my account with paypal does not show such charge, so i am pretty sure i've been scammed of my money.
I just contacted paypal about this transaction and they must be investigating this merchant.
CAVEAT EMPTOR = BUYER BE AWARE !

There are many fraud companies. But I think all this will end soon. Because it2steve will give us surprises. You will get the desired product from him . And fast.
as long as you use aliexpress your money is pretty much safe!its when you deal with the manufacturer directly on alibaba.com u have to worry!! on ali express you dont release payment til you receive the item and verify it with aliexpress! and there is a feedback system like ebay on aliexpress im not saying its impossible to get scammed but alot harder!!! check it out remember alibaba you deal with the companies directly ali express your order goes through them and is like paypal in a way! your money doesnt get released til you verify you recived your order and its not damaged and works correctly!! if not you can open a dispute and get a refund or a discount!!

I too believe this to be true. In my (very few) dealings with with aliexpress its was very structured as far as if/when/how I received my product. The vendors there rely heavily on a feedback system much as ebay does.
I think the part that we all hate it the thought of waiting 21 days for our toys. I'm the same way which is why I paid 2 1/2 times what most are paying for my first dock. I wanted it and wanted it now.
The idea is to open a good line of communication with someone where the product is that is trustworthy, delivers, and sticks to it. I am personally working on getting some stock here (as well as APX_)for us but prefer not to speak about it until it's in my hand. That's just easier all the way around.
Ok guys, i'll ammend my post.
I was just contacted by Paypal who informed me that the transaction is listed with them as well as a referral number which, tried as i did, i could not find originally in my Paypal account, so i'll give the merchant the benefit of the doubt.
I understand the item is being shipped from China for a minimum shipping fee, but must this merchant start sending customers emails within one week of purchase with links to contest it ? So far i've received at least five such emails, which is unnerving...
Ordered mine, its easily the best deal I could find out there for the dock. Thanks for the heads-up on the price drop.
In my opinion, the aliexpress pay system seems to besecure so far, giving the seller a set time to ship the product of 3 days. Of course it sucks having to wait around 15 days for the item to arrive here from China.
UPDATE: 10 JAN 2011 10:27 PM PST - Just received the tracking number and the claim that the item has shipped. Doesn't look like a scam, but I'll feel better once the dock's in my hands.
I have a few extra docks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865038
keeping you guys updated!
No body want to get it directly from your place quickly but like to waiting a long time from far away? I don't think so...
So I ordered mine on the 10th, and received 2 tracking numbers, but none of them work. Has anyone else ordered from this and did they receive the products they ordered?
Its just been 2 weeks and I am getting nervous, I can at least count on paypal or alibaba to get me my money back if this was a scam I hope.

This wasnt a dock ordered from me was it???
...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant
Just thought i'd let you guys know that amazon.co.uk has stock(from hughes direct).
If anybody does order can you update us on whether they're working fully?
I can't paste the link cause i'm still a new user

Ta for teh update but hughes are selling for an inflated price.
When Amazon next get them in stock they will sell for 499 like everybody elase.
I would not pay over the odds myself and would wait for amazon to get stock or go elsewhere like ebuyer, currys etc and I don't think anybody else savvy enough to use this forum would either lol
Yea, I myself won't pay that much more! At the time though, it seemed they were the only people who had stock. I checked reevo just now, and there are a lot more stores that have in stock. I was more interested to see if they worked or not :x
I live in South Africa, and will be purchasing from the UK and would prefer to buy from a shop that I know has sold properly working units.
I just got referred to this site by Asus to purchase a replacement uk clip for the charger as they won't replace my broken one.
http://www.asusparts.eu/index.php?cPath=222155_222301
Prices are pretty good until you add the DHL cost to uk.
€6.67 plus vat for the clip and €17.55 for delivery.
May be cheaper if your in mainland Europe though.
May as well go to asus uk and get the full kit for £24.99 plus £6 delivery.
All I gotta say is Europeans are annoying! They keep bidding on my ebay items even though I specifically said US bidders only. For example, I just sold a hard drive to a European bidder. My shipping price was 9.99, but that was for US only! It's been like 4 days and the guy hasn't paid yet, so I had to relist.
Last night, I was able to find the settings to block foreign bidders.
Annoying Europeans... why don't they buy locally? Why bid on hard drives half a world away?

Totally agree with you there.
I wouldn't buy from US or China etc due to the high shipping costs.
I myself sell to UK only yet still get requests from Spain, Germany etc etc even though it's listed as uk only.
There certainly are a lot of empty heads about
Anyway I just ordered the new charger from Asus UK at £30.99 inc delivery and paid by paypal.
Hey guys, I saw a decent case on ebay and unfortunately they wouldn't ship here in the Philippines. I was thinking of buying this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/StandBook-Multi-Stand-PU-Leather-Case-for-Asus-Eee-Pad-Prime-TF201-red-Tablet-/120912896867 They're the only vendor selling this kind of case.
So anyway, can anyone especially from US would help me buy it? They offer free shipment of the item for US btw.
The payment would be like this:
1. I would pay for the item plus the shipment fee for Philippines via Paypal. Cheapest USPS only please
or
2. You can be the one buying it and I would pay you when I receive the item. I know this option may sound creepy on your part but don't worry, I won't screw you up.
