No international shipping. Why must you Amercians taunt us so...

=P
WOOHOO !

Now I just have to walk down at my local bank where I have an account and ask them for instructions on how to make my card PayPal-enabled (it is possible, I heard).

If not, I'm so gonna stick my nails in my throat. -- not sure how well that goes translated in English, but it sounds hilarious in Romanian.

Alright devs, you can have the topic back now, lol :D

If the port is like on normal laptops, you could try a laptop/netbook charger...

DO NOT do this. There is way more to power supply compatibility than the connector. This is quite frankly stupid and irresponsible advice. You must ensure that voltages, etc., are the same or you risk not only damaging the device, but also fire.

If proper compatibility was meant to be implied by that post, i.e. voltage, it should have been explicitly stated, and not just commented about the port.

I know when the Atrix first came out, AT&T required the purchase of a tethering plan with the lapdock. This is probably why the lapdocks didn't sell that well (that and the $300 price tag).

Maybe this is just a throwback description, but the product information on Amazon still states that a tethering plan is required, which is why I asked.

(Note: The Motorola Lapdock requires the separately available Motorola ATRIX 4G, and an AT&T 4 GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use the Lapdock with your ATRIX 4G.)

Maybe they meant when using cellular data.

Either way, thanks. Time to make a purchase.....

Yeah, its kind of misleading. Go ahead and get one, then have fun trying out Gentoo, Debian mods, etc.

The only time ATT required a tethering plan with the lapdock was for the $100 rebate that they did for a while. Granted, without it the lapdock is neutered (unless you're on wifi), but it's never been required.

I know, but I went with the assumption that any human who had the brains to choose the ATRIX instead of other overly-advertised phones would have the brains to also check the voltage and amperage. In any case, they (U and I) should be about the same. I mean every device has a failsafe that doesn't accept current that doesn't fall within the range of X +/- 5V and 1A or so (where X is the original charger's specs).

Not true. I bought my Atrix the first day it was available for sale in stores. I was so turned off by the thought of purchasing an additional data plan (tethering) that I never gave it a second thought until recently.
