Car Dock question

I'm after a Nexus One car dock, the 100% genuine article.
Problem is I'm based in France so can't get one through Google and don't want to use Ebay.
I can't find anyone who stocks them so just wondering if anyone on here knows of a source.
Thanks in advance.

Wait for a bit. The Nexus One will hit stores soon, apparently, and I'm assuming the accessories will come with it, and, if not, I heard a rumor that the HTC website will be selling Nexus accessories too. I have the car dock, and the only thing I don't like about it is the built in speaker quality, other than that, it's brilliant. Well, and the fact that I have to take my case off in order to get it to fit, but I have to do that with my bedside charger dock as well.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll have to wait.
The 3.99 euro mount I got in the local supermarket does the job and it was the speakers that was the real seller for me so if they're not up to much waiting won't kill me.

I used this mob to get my nexus one and the car dock over to Australia.
Don't know if they ship to france, but they probably do. All you do is sign up(free) you get an address with them, ship the dock to the address and they will ship it to you, they don't seem to charge commission, i think they get a discount with DHL and charge you regular price. so it seems a pretty good deal.

Sweet, thanks for the tip.

Anyone was able to score Asus?

Just wondering if anyone was able to buy Asus today?

I was one the few that got in on the tigerdirect bundle yesterday. Should be in my hands in a few hours.

Mine is due in tomorrow. Grabbed it from NewEgg during one of the small windows where it wasn't listed as sold out, and because it's shipping from Memphis (where I live), I paid for 3-day and I'll get it overnight I was close to grabbing the Iconia instead because I hate having to chase things down, but hey, I lucked out ... though the Iconia is a great tab too, either way I would've been happy. But I think the Transformer will get more XDA love.

enjoy them.. Hope someone can post nice pics..

I really want to get this tablet, but the lack of a usb port on the tablet itself is making me think twice. It's almost like they're forcing you to buy the keyboard dock.

That wasn't an issue for me, I've already got a dock preordered. Plus the extra battery and full sd card slot on the dock is a plus since the only thing i use my usb on my gtab for is for my external hard drive. Extra battery on the dock will let me run alot longer using it.

Ebay - Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE - $180

Hi all...I found this deal on Ebay for an Asus 32gb TF300-B1 (not enough posts to leave a link....google search for "Asus 32GB TF300-B1 EEE Pad Transformer" should pull the listing in the first few entries).
It seems to have the same specs as the TF300F. Is this the same machine as TF300F and therefore can flash ROMS developed for it? Is this a good deal (it's refurbished of course)? worth the bother? etc...
Thanks for any info you can provide!

OK never mind....

I bought a Refurbished TF300T for the same price on Ebay. Works great for me and in great condition. I would definitely recommend preping to put a ROM on it if you get it, mine suffers from some lag in some of the Chrome/Internet browsers, but oythers have reported it as well. I dont game on it so I can't really comment on that, but for Surfing the web, Netflix, XBMC, Reading...media consumtion...it fits my needs perfectly. Will be even better when I get a clean, stock Rom on it.

Since my TF300T motherboard failed (according to Asus tech) They want $200 to fix it. I found that Fry's is selling a brand new Tf300T for $200. I guess I will have to buy that one as Asus does not warranty their parts or repairs. I just bought a case for my tablet and docking station 2 days before my tablet died. It hadnt even arrived before I sent the tablet to Asus.
Please ignore this. I just went to order and it is out of stock. Sucks. I have a dock, a new case for both, and a great leather case for tablet only. what a waste. Thank you Asus for not caring about your customers.
I was only 3 months out of warranty when it went out. I guess I wont be buying any other Asus components for the computers I buy if they have such low quality customer service.

It turned itself off and never came on. No lights nothing. They said it's the motherboard.

Sounds like the motherboard, except they rarely, if ever, go out like that without some kind of impact. Did you try to charge it? I mean if the battery ever comes loose for example, it evidently cannot turn on.
If you bought a refurbished, all the more reason to open it and troubleshoot. You're in San Diego. If you want, I can loan you a working motherboard without audio so you can try to make sure it's your motherboard.

Any microUSB charger should be good. I use charger from my HP touchpad.
Read this if you want to know why
http://www.righto.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-apple-is.html

I had the same problem before and went for one off the amazon market place from a seller Crazy Bee. Sorry i cant post links as I'm not at 10 posts yet but it is a genuine charger if that helps.

Well I want one just like the original with 3.0 USB and fast charge. The amazon reviews seem to say they are original while others say they are not...So wondering if anyone got one that is just like original?

This is the one i ordered and believe to be genuine from the quality, one thing i don't understand is i couldn't find a charger exactly the same as my original with the usb outlet coming from the bottom of the charger. It seems samsung make several "travel chargers" which all have the usb coming from the top or side:

Where can I buy a new charger in US?

As my title said, WHERE? Background story: My charger's broken, and I want to buy a new one. I'm charging my phone with laptop now. Here's the result I got after few hours of searching online: none on Amazon, Bestbuy, Walmart, Target, Sony US official website...not original or authentic as they announced on ebay. Asked Sony's customer service, she answered: "Have you checked out our official partners' website, like Amazon or Bestbuy..." Partners? I don't think so, what kind of partner say "sorry, we couldn't find that page"? So...can anyone tell me where to find a sony charger? Many Thanks.

eBay, amazon...

emmmmm....I don't know what to say....

What's wrong with the ones in Walmart? Works great for me

Doubt you'll find an official OEM Don't charger.
Go aftermarket or buy another manufacturer's charger. As long as it's a certified USB-C charger, then you'd be fine.

I see...thanks.

This is actually super annoying, it made sense when I was buying Sony phones that were not sold in the US, but now that the phones are sold here I would think that I should be able to find an official OEM charger to buy. The only place I have found that I could potentially purchase an OEM cable or any other OEM accessory is the UK Amazon site, no US stores or sites seem to have them.
For those repeatedly saying to just buy an aftermarket charger, that doesn't work if you want to use the cable to connect to a PC to transfer files or flash the phone.

Exactly! You get me! I also found them on Amazons that's outside US, like UK, India...Although I've already bought Aukey charger from Amazon after last two day's hard research on Sony's charger. Sad, just sad. It's not that other charger's no good, it's just realizing that I have no free option makes me sad. And US version's fingerprint sensor is disabled, WTH? We'll have to flash a different firmware to unlock it. Seems like they tried very hard to prevent us from using Sony phone.

Ya it's quite frustrating, but you can't really blame Sony since the phones don't sell very well in the US so they kind of ignore us. If shipping isn't too bad, I will probably end up buying a cable or two from the Amazon UK site.
As far as fingerprint, I ended up having to follow the thread here that flashes items from the US & CE1 firmwares so that I could have group messaging and fingerprint reader. The only annoying thing about this is that you don't get OTA updates so you need to download both firmwares and flash what you want every time you want the update. A couple annoying things about this that I have run into; backup to the micro SD takes forever and doesn't include you fingerprint details, so I have to re-add my fingerprint every time, restoring also takes forever (like restoring your home/icon setup), you have to re-login to all the apps you were using.

Problem of the century!
Just buy any USB charger.

Reading more than the title of the thread was just too much?

google UCB30 cable, then you can use USB debugging on your xzp

I agree that this is ridiculous. If you sell phones and other accessories in the US then make the charger available. I had a long discussion with Xperia Customer Care months ago and came up empty. They were linking me to eBay sellers that offer refurbished junk. It's simply another reason why Sony fails to establish a strong mobile presence in the US even though they have outstanding devices.
