agreed with acPIZZA. I've had a netbook for about a year now. It's nothing special but gets 7-9 hour battery life and allows me to do basic computing tasks on it. Getting the laptop dock would be redundant.

Yes the dock is to expensive, but I would say that it should cost between 200-300 regular. Maybe if ATT was being generous they would make a bundle with the dock costing 150 and the phone 150 with the purchase of the tethering plan. Thats just my .02.

Your pricing is so out of wack I dont' even know where to start.

The laptop dock probably costs them $100 to manufacture. I've put projects like this together, so I'm pretty confident in this cost structure from a CM perspective. This is just them gouging the early adopters. It will probably come down to 2-300 pretty fast, and probably under 200 toward the end.

How much does a good laptop battery go for nowadays?

Ultimately, they're here to make money. Of course it's going to be "high" compared to their production price. =/

I never said it wouldn't be. My point was that the previous poster was putting together consumer products and making an incorrect assumption.

The phone is priced at a steal, the accessories not so much. If you're looking for just the phone this is a great deal.
