Pad phone unboxing
- Thread starter pc747

That would be nice if the next nexus would have that ability. Can you imagine what the development would be for that device. Imaging 4.65 inches of goodness in a cell phone transforming (pun intended) into an asus tablet. :biggrin:

buying it.
Be interesting to see the pricing and how would carriers bundle that. I am very interested in seeing the full reviews for this thing.

I have a feeling that the carriers will force users onto a tethering plan for something like this, like what AT&T did when the first Atrix dropped. Although Verizon hasn't forced this with their Moto phones and the docking station, and I believe AT&T has moved away from this.
All in all I think it's a great concept but it's just a little too much money for all the bells and whistles. With over $900, you can get yourself a nice phone and tablet and use Wifi tether and call it a day. Or you could get a Galaxy Note and forgo carrying around the clunky hardware that comes along with it.
I hope Asus succeeds, but I won't be surprised if it's a flop. I doubt Verizon even gets this anyway. I don't see a reason to get this phone over the GS3.

I see your point but I do what you say right now...I have a Galaxy Nexus, Acer Iconia A500 & an iPad 2...I use tethering as well. Problem is that files are saved on individual devices so if I forget one device I won't have the files I need. YES I could put files in the cloud but it's nice to have everything all on one device. I have the Bionic & the lapdock and it was nice but VERY slow & clunky. Based on the video this device seems just as fast as any tablet or phone.
I see no reason that they couldn't sell each piece individually. Sell a good phone and then upsell/market the accessories separately. VzW doesn't need to force anyone into a tethering plan... Now that unlimited data is gone they probably won't mind taking your money in overage fees or having you bump up your monthly data plan... It's not a separate device, the phone is still accessing the data directly... Would be a tough sell any other way.
