Hey guys. Wanted to let you all know that Daily Steals has the Moto Lapdock 100 for $99.99 today. Seems like a pretty good deal.

FWIW - I picked up a Verizon Bionic Lapdock (Verizon boxed) for $50 off eBay, and it works just great with the Droid 4.

Cheers,

I have an Atrix Lapdock. Works also, but I'm having issues with special characters and volume control. Special characters are not the same as the keyboard indicates and volume has on or off...

The keys are the age old problem of US default layout, whereas you may be like me, and have changed the phone's locale to something else - my solution is to purchase UK keyboard stickers off eBay, and I'll simply put them on to replace the ones that are wrong.

The volume is more tricky - when the Droid 4 is in a dock (I've notice this on the multimedia dock too) it seems to treat the audio like a "line in", and so there's no ability to alter the volume. The solution on my multimedia dock where I have a speaker system plugged in, and the default was too loud, was to use a cable with an in-built volume cable, but that's obviously not possible with the lap-dock. I'm not sure how to get around that behaviour.

Cheers,

Steve.

That's the thing. I use English US and the Lapdock is from the US (has some additional Hebrew characters) and I'm certain the layout is US-International. Not sure what kind of layout the Droid/Lapdock combo is using right now.

Yeah the Droid 4 docks into the Bionic lapdock. Very nice. Also, the Lapdock is a HDMI monitor just fine which works with the Zotac ZT-DP2HD and so you can hook two to any laptop with a DisplayPort output and enjoy a portable dual external monitor solution
