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?

American adaptor suitable for Australia?

Hi All,
I'm considering purchasing the tf700 from America and importing to Australia (as they are going to flog it off here for $999AUD!
The only thing I need to confirm before purchasing is if the adaptor will be suitable for Australia (don't want a surge).
Does the info on the (American) power pack indicate it handles 110-240v ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Mike

Input 100-240 V, ~ 50/60 Hz 0.5 A

Thanks Mate.

Yes, hopefully doing the same. Probably gonna need a an adapter as well. How you gonna get yours over here?

I'm pretty sure I read that all Aussie tabs will come with the Key Board dock also, still priced high but thats something to consider plus 32/64 at that price?

Ordered mine through ebay last night. It is winging it's way here via DHL as we speak. Paid 838 AUD (including express shipping) for 64GB with dock (a. grey colour). Expect it to arrive here on Monday next. When you add the $10 for an adaptor that still comes in $140 cheaper and at least a week earlier than the Oz release.

Would I be able to get a 32GB no dock from the same supplier?

check out ebay mate. Theres a few offering 32GB no dock for well under 500. Express shipping (cause who wants to wait weeks once you have committed the money) costs about 60. the ususal precautions re: checking out sellers reputation apply, obviously.

Thanks, I pm'ed one to you to see if it was the same supplier just so this thread isn't staying alive with just us.
Although the sentbox seems empty so forgive me if its doesn't work or you just get a gazillion messages

Photon Q at Costco Wireless for $39 + Kitchen sink of accessories lol

Found this awesome deal so wanted to share:
http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/5402
For 39$ you get:
1 Motorola Photon Q
2 screen protectors
1 3 in1 charger
1 reusable case
2 leather cases
But that is not all they have a free mail in rebate for the following:
1 Vehicle Window Mount and Navigation Dock (40$ value?)
1 Portable Power Battery Pack (Google says 1420mAh and around 20-40$ value)
*Kitchen sink not included >.>
Oh and upgrade fee is waived and shipping is free if you don't have a near by costco.

I've been holding off on the upgrade from my OG Epic 4g but at this price + activation fee waived, + accessories I think ill be making a trip to cosco on monday. Don't have a membership but a co worker does... Thanks for the tip on this.

Just got mine and sent off the rebate for the dock and external battery/charger. Guy at Costco said it typically takes only 4 weeks to get the accessories. This deal is good until the end of the year it seems, so dig in. The Photon Q is backordered online and I got the last one at the Costco I went to the other day, so if you want in, get your order in soon.

Crap...just when I finally decide to upgrade from my Epic I barely miss this deal.
Says Out of Stock online. I'm not a Costco member but have a friend who is, any chance they have any in stock in store or do they normal ship everything like this from the warehouse so Out of Stock on the website means no chance in the store?

FYI, the out of stock is only online, you can call or visit your local Costco for their stock.
Also, the price is officially $249.99 with a $210 instant rebate, but they charge you tax on the full $249.99, so it's really $39.99 + tax on $249.99.

Thanks for the info! Going to pick this phone up for my wife so you just saved me a bunch of money. Anyone know if I can upgrade her phone to this one at Costco even though she's on SERO? Or does it require to be at a sprint store?

Just got back from Costco from grabbing one...
Root in 3....2....1..

So this is for the phone, accessories, and NO CHANGE IN CONTRACT? Looking like an awesome deal! I will have to have my cousin pick it up for me if no change in contract is required.

If you are/were currently due/eligible for upgrade, and are already on a premium data plan (one with the extra $10 charge), then it is no change at all to your plan except for re-upping on another two year agreement.
One change that I encountered however is that I was still paying $8/mo for TEP (insurance), and according to the kiosk guy at Costco it's went up to $11/mo. Going to call Sprint soon and see if I can argue back to my $8.
Sprint charges $36 for the activation of the new phone, which Costco will issue you an account credit for. It may take a billing cycle or two for the $36 to credit back.

Battery Charger shown here
Anybody received the battery charger shown in this deal yet? I am interested in the manufacturer info on that, as I tried to google it, and could not get it to come up. Looking to find this one on line.
Never mind I found it.

Damn, want to do this deal for the wife to upgrade her EVO Shift, but she isn't eligible until 1/1/13

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.

I haven't found any one in Vancouver... This weekend im going to Seattle and will be picking up the wcp 300 and hopefully a chromecast
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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
