Will accessories be sold through retail now?

Since Google announced that they will no longer be selling the Nexus through their webstore, will we be able to get accessories (Desk Dock, Car Dock) through retail locations?
I wan the desk dock, but I live in Canada....
So after shipping and DHL fees it's going to be $100. But, if Best Buy will eventually be selling this stuff, well that would be awesome!
Has anyone heard anything?

[Q] Buying a battery in the USA?

I've got a UK Galaxy S, and am about to go to the USA on a holiday. As my battery life is absolutely rubbish (15 hours) I was hoping to buy a spare battery so I can contact my partner on the trip.
I tried ordering one from DealExtreme a month ago, and it still hasn't arrived (and they won't respond to my emails), given I go away tomorrow this is a bit of a hassle. I tried to source one locally but the places that could deliver seem to have it on backorder.
So my question is, do the US variants of hte galaxy S use the same battery, meaning I should be able to find it in a store over there? or should I head down to a phone shop and pay an exorbitant price for it..

I don't see them being any cheaper in the States from a 'phone shop'; but yes, they're all the same.

buying phones?

Where is the best place to buy unlocked overseas phones from, especially the sgs2, A lot of the sites do not seem very safe

Ebay
Use ebay. Because if you go through paypal you can dispute a claim if it ends up being a bad sale.

Expansys-Usa or Negri or New Egg. If you shop around and wait and look up coupon codes, you can find great deals. For instance you can get a new unlocked canadian nexus off of negri right now for $565 shipped. Overseas customers make Ebay ridiculously expensive. Unlocked Iphones sell for more on Ebay than they do directly from Apple...I don't see how that makes any sense...

AC Charger for a Canadian?

Dose any one know where I can Buy a AC Charger for the TF700 in Canada? It's like ASUS doesn't think we will ever need a new one. It has to be located in Canada every time I order something from the USA I get dinged BIG time like $25-$40 even if the item costs $10 I'm not willing to pay $80 for a charger, just want one from a company in Canada so I don't get dinged for Handling Fees and Duty...
Thanks!

I just ordered one on eBay from a seller who was located in Hong Kong; it came via EMS and Canada Post and I didn't pay anything duty wise.
What you are describing are not duties, they are "importation/brokerage fees" and likely you are having your items sent up here via UPS or Fedex who charge an arm and a leg. When ordering from the US, have the seller ship via USPS to avoid brokerage fees.

Found this with an eBay search and filtered for Canada only:

Thanks for the replays!
I found this site:

I don't like buying from sketchy people/suppliers but at least they have been around for a wile.
I'll let you know how if goes...

The charger came yesterday although it was shipped in a bag in a unpaded mail bag... it arrived ok and seems to work fine. Ended up costing me $21 after tax+shipping so not bad. At least now if one brakes I'm not screwed

A Qi Charger for my N4 in Canada?

Have any of you managed to buy a Qi charger for the Nexus 4 (aside from the official one - doesn't work with my Ballistic case) that's actually available in Canada?
I've heard good things about the WCP-300 but it's not available here. Even the Nokia chargers that don't work with the N4 aren't available in Canada. Is there something about Canadian law that prevents them from selling them here (RF interference or something)? It's really frustrating.
I don't want to end up paying $30 shipping and duty on a $50 item! Argh.

As a follow-up, I ended up buying two WCP-300s from a Verizon store in Las Vegas while I was there on vacation. Still no luck getting them in Canada.
Best Buy in Vegas was out of Chromecasts too
