The Motorola Store and AT&T are both list the Lapdock for $399 now. I thought the non-bundled price was supposed to be $599 with a $100 rebate.
Think they heard complaints about the pricing?

Laptop Dock for $399
- Thread starter mmeads
- Start date
And it looks like AT&T is offering an additional $100 VISA gift card as a mail-in rebate for a grand total of $299.
Where did you guys find that deal. I logged in with my premier account & I don't see those offers. Any links?

This is pretty cool. I was against getting the dock when it required 2 years of tethering. $299 is till about $100 too steep in my opinion. But I am almost swayed by the removal of the tethering requirement.*
* I am aware that the FF browser will still require tethering. I have high hopes that we can hack that requirement out of it.

Att still shows tether required
I just went to the AT&T link you posted and it still says:
Super thin MOTOROLA LAPDOCK™ with webtop app merges ATRIX capabilities with the convenience of a laptop. The webtop app launches automatically when your phone is docked to get all the ease of a sleek laptop computer and the capabilities of your phone in one smart package. Super thin so it travels easily. The 4GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use this accessory.
Item SKU: 65242(MOTOROLA LAPDOCK (TM) for MOTOROLA ATRIX (TM)4G)
But, it does show the $299 price after the $100 VISA rebate card.

Yeah, sorry - i haven't got to my 8 posts yet so I can link to anything.
Correct - I think the laptop dock still checks for a tethering plan. But the way I read the rebate is that it's not conditional on acceptance of a 2yr data contract.
Dock is now priced at $350 direct from motorola.com. I paid $399 for it from them yesterday. not happy.
I'm gonna wait a week or two, this is definitely going down to 200.
I think the dock does not worth the price even if it is 299. It has no real OS environment in there and cannot used to compile code. So I guess I will wait.
There is a coupon code for 25% off accessories at the moto store and it includes the laptop dock.
code: OCNNSB25
(I tried to post a link to the dock in the store but it wouldn't let me casue I havent posted here much. Been a member since back in my mda days but always read and learn but never post)
my order came up under 300 with shipping and tax.
Item Subtotal: $359.99
Shipping & Handling: $4.00
Promotion Applied -$90.00
Before Tax Total: $273.99
Estimated Tax: $19.18
Order Total: $293.17

By the way the multimedia dock with keyboard, mouse and remote comes to 120.99 plus tax.
And thanks to droid life for bringing attention to this code. There was a bug allowing you to get 25% off a zoom with this but it has since been fixed. Still works on all moto accessories like it was originally intended to.

Just so you guys know, there ilare multiple ways to get around the tethering and people are doing it over wifi and data at no extra cost.
This is why I'm planning on buying one this weekend or later next week; thanks for posting the links.

I went to my local ATT store yesterday and tried all kinds of permutations with my phone in the display docks. I even fixed their phone and multimedia dock as it wasn't pulling up webtop mode when the phone was inserted 
Here are my results:
Over wireless (ATT in-store access point): both docks will pull up webtop and firefox will have access to internet.
Without wireless (default APN): both docks will pull up webtop but FF does not have access to internet.
Without wireless (modified APN): both docks will pull up webtop, FF access sometimes works, sometimes not. Didn't spend too much time on this.
Since I'm not all that interested in having the laptop dock, I bought the MM dock. I'm also going to never be somewhere without wireless with the MM dock, so I don't care too much about whether it works without wireless.
At first when I got home, I had the same problem as their dock was, where only media mode would show up as an option when the phone was inserted. I re-paired the mouse and re-inserted the power cord in the dock and it was all working. HTH

Update: You can buybit from the Motorola site for 359.99 now.
I like the way this is going; that pretty much eleminates the need to buy it as a bundle now (depending on how much you paid for the phone)
