I went to Canada Computers today to see if they'd be getting it next week. The staff didn't know though the system did show SKUs for both 16gb and 32gb (no dock listed). These are not listed on their website yet.
16gb: $449
32gb: $549
Maybe someone can confirm this...so much for parity.
Edit: Grammar fail.
I have a friend living in Canada. Might ask her to get me one if I can't get one in the US.

I seriously hope this isn't true.. $50 more isn't a deal breaker, but I bet the keyboard will be more as well..
Wait a sec... if they raise the Transformer $50 and the keyboard $25 or 50, we're talking well over $600, $700 with tax. The cheapest Honeycomb tablet is quickly becoming the most expensive!
EDIT: Just checking some US prices on other tablets - they are the same price in both Canada and the states for the Playbook and Xoom. If Canadian dealers are going to play games with pricing because of popularity, the transformer will be my last purchase at the store which overcharges.
The exchange rate is currently around $1US to $0.95CDN and Asus posted that $399 press release with Canada in mind. Here's hoping to that price being a premature placeholder until they get stock (which was 0 when I went). Hopefully, there'll be deals coming out in the next few days and price matching opportunities too.

Let's hope it's just a temporary price. I don't think so though. Futureshop raised the price of the Asus A500 $50 and I can see others doing the same with the Transformer.

Maybe shipping from the states would be cheaper. Or a road trip would be nice, assuming a $75 difference with tablet and dock, I'd say that's enough gas money.

I would rather pay $399 + $50 to ship than $449 + tax. I've ordered 6 packages from the US over the past month and the shipping costs ranged from $5 - $20 (large box).

Unfortunately, I can't post links yet, but it looks like you are reading the xe.com chart wrong. Do a specific currency conversion of 1 CAD to USD and you'll see what I mean. I'm not trying to be pendantic or anything, but the conversion rate is something I follow closely for various reasons.
As you said, though, Canada tends to get screwed over regardless. I'm pretty sure I dropped an extra $50 or so on my Archos 101 when I got it compared to the US, but it ended up being worth it for the shipping expense I would have had otherwise. It looks like Canada Computers is mostly closed today, so hopefully I can call tomorrow and see if I can get a verification.

I thought it'd be good if we had a centralized thread with all reported prices from various retail/online locations.
Store - On Contract/Off Contract
Amazon.com - $149.99/$599.99 with FREE Shipping and NO Tax
AT&T - $199.99/$399.99/$499.99 ($100 rebate)
Radio Shack - $149.99
Wal-Mart - $129.99 (new contract before 2/24)
If you see a price somewhere, make sure to report it below!
I am willing to bet it wil run $199 from AT&T stores and att.com.
Also, I would caution people about buying from sites like amazon.com, letstalk.com, and wirefly. They charge their own ETF for things as simple as changing your plan too much. Just be careful.

I've been with AT&T since it was bell south mobility TDMA (before Cingular), so suffering an ETF seems unlikely for me. However I've always either gotten hand me down phones or bought directly from the ATT store/site.
If my plan is stable (it is) and if I return the phone it is within the warranty period, what is my downside for saving $50?
any news on atrix gsm version price?
No one has a officially announced it outside out of AT&T (It was said Orange UK said they would get it, but I couldn't find anything from them directly), but I think it is because Motorola technically only announce the Atrix 4G, which is a AT&T specific version. The Atrix is on their website, but no one has announced it yet.
Friend of mine (AT&T employee) told me $500 for the bundle... laptop dock and phone.

If that's true, then it's seriously overpriced and will keep people away. Even if they throw in the multimedia and car docks, it's still $200 for the phone, $150 for the laptop dock, $60 for MM dock, and $40 for the car dock. That only comes to $450.
I suppose the phone could go as high as $250, or the laptop dock to $200, but I doubt it.

There are things I love/hate about both the iPhone and Atrix, so I'm seriously caught in the middle. Any thoughts about why I shouldn't ditch the Atrix yet? You said wait, but I'm not sure "what" you wanted me to wait for
Some are selling on ebay for around $350.
not spending 500 bucks...
I'm in with the "cheaper dock" thing
I want the dock, I find the idea to be genial, but I do not see why I should pay $500 for essentially a screen, a keyboard and a battery.
So, anyone know of a cheaper source (or when - if - prices eventually go down), let me know. I'll keep subscribed to this thread
As I mentioned. Best Buy - $399.00 ($100 off)
You can order it from Motorola for around 360; granted I took my Atrix back before I got a chance to use it.
I love the idea but a lot of reviews and people with first hand experience said it was a little laggy.
If it was 200 bucks I'd grab one today though.

Not anymore, you can't. It is not available anymore in Moto's online store. Before they took the accessory down, they bumped up the price again to US$499.
Not sure if I even want to spend 400 bucks on it (bestbuy). I personally think that is still too much for this piece of hardware.
It's $299 from ATT after a $100 MIR. I can't post links yet, but just search for lapdock and it comes up.

Only applies for people on an AT&T plan. Where this does not apply, this is the same price as letstalk.com.
Thanks for pointing it out though, this is another place to order. And a good deal for AT&T customers
It seems the Lapdock is now on sale in Canada for a mere CAD 330 (as opposed to US$ 399 being the cheapest in US). Unfortunately, it seems futureshop does not ship internationally, so it seems there is no way for me to order it from there.
This, however, brings up an interesting pricing question: is Moto test-driving a different price in Canada, just to see how it sells? Does that mean the US price is going to drop, or does it mean the Canadian price is going to go up later on?
More importantly: how do I get this shipped internationally from Canada? Any ideas?

I just flipped my credit cards points to Futur Shop's cards.

Order Details:
Scheduled for Ground (Estimated arrival date(s) 03/24-04/01/2011)
Anybody else get the same thing??? It would be so sweet if we got it before the 8th!
I got that as well, i think it is the default shipping time (2-3 days) for the ground service, not accounting for that the device will not be available until the 8th....
But Please! i will be more than happy to be wrong ;-)

They're owned by the same people but still do business independently, so it's quite common for one to have products or specials the other doesn't. Best Buy will probably bring their price down and if not you can always invoke their "Lowest Price Guarantee".

Why cancelling B&H for FS? For the Warranty?
pre-ordered from FS chances are 599$ is a mistake, since most Canadian prices are usually higher than US prices ... dunno why, our dollar is better now!
Question for you : Should I cancel my order from BH and make a new order with BB Canada or FS ??
If yes, why ? There are most accessory for now with BH..
Should I order one?
I'm desperate to ditch my iPad (I've got a 64 GB 3G model) and move into a more open application ecosystem (without having to jailbreak etc). So I've had a Xoom sitting in my FS cart all day and I've hesitated on pulling the trigger on the order.
But here's the thing. I use the 3G connection on my iPad all the time. Especially when I travel (I've got an AT&T SIM that I swap in when I travel to the states). I realise that I can easily tether the Xoom to my HTC Desire HD for net access when WiFi isn't available but, of course, then I have to worry about the battery life on two devices instead of just one.
So I'm torn between buying the WiFi Xoom now or waiting for the rumoured release of the 3G Xoom in Canada later in the year.
Any advice?

Future shop will hook you up with pretty good deals once you tell them you're interested in the extended warranty (which I think is worth it). Ill get a free SD card and get them to lower the price as well
It'll be much easier to process the warranty at your local FS than having to mail it to B&H.

Same here. I decided to wait it out for warranty purposes too. Future Shop is pretty good with their warranties. And like I said before. You can usually get them to throw in a lot of stuff if you get an extended warranty...or even get them to lower the price of the warranty (via decreasing the price of the product).

Ordered my Galaxy Note already cuz it was supposedly due to arrive for release on 11/01/11 but now AFTER THEY DEBITED MY CC, that may be changing. The new word is it may end up being 11/17/11 after all just as originally announced and this SUCKS of course cuz I chose this over the Nexus due to the earlier release date.
Otherwise I would've waited and saved on the accruing interest charges - although I could've saved the credit just in case of an emergency of some sort. Hell I've never paid full price for a phablet or smartphone before let alone buy an unlocked version.
This better be worth it baby! It better be worth it.
I sure am going to miss getting those updates from Google earlier than a carrier would've released 'em.

how much you ordered ?
I ordered from England @ a place called Clove.co.uk & paid $705 US. But this is for an UNLOCKED PHONE, I will not be bound by any yearly contact with anybody. I'll be free to go to the best carrier with the best coverage & price anytime I want to.
The price is with it to me considering its going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $299 - $399 WITH A 2-year contact. So do I think it worth the price? Hell yes I do!

You scared the **** out of me!!! The difference in pricing comes down to the shipping fees. I pre-ordered early, like when they announced it on September 1. I've been hitting the site daily finally saw a sort of decent price and spanked that monkey baby!
It could also have been the exchange rate too. I called Handtec and the difference comes down to shipping making Clove & Handtec pretty much the same price +/- a few $$$. That isn't enough to make me cancel the order and go with Handtec. Also, Handtec seems a little confused when you ask specific questions relating to specs and other info.
Maybe it was just the hit I dealt with - I dunno. Lastly, they're offering a version"network unlocked" which as he described as "upon boot I would see a network logo and from then on it would be basically unlocked, and that could be taken care of by either rooting the PHABLET or some other kind of software solution". Oh the price for that version is roughly £448.99 if you want to take a chance on that. They are expecting to receive they're first shipment on 10/31 and puter-orders will go out that same day.
Sounds awful confusing comming from a sales rep from such a well known dealer. For me that pretty much sealed Handtec' fate of me NOT buying a phablet from them.
Swyped on my HTC EVO 4G Supersonic baby!

Sorry about that, updated.
Mine says may 23rd to may 30th? What are the odds it will come earlier?
Why wait? Call around to your local B&Ms and pounce on the first one that has stock.

The 199 price tag, its worth $50 to wait a couple weeks, unless someone will pricematch amazon that's the only place ive seen it that low for an upgrade.

I was going to order from wirefly originally but don't feel comfortable giving them my full ssn especially when they specifically say in the the terms that they can give it to third parties. I knew about costco but i don't have a membership and i thought they were having inventory difficulties as well?

fair point about wirefly, not sure why they'd need that anyway. As far as the costco order, it was originally posted that the expected processing date was "on or before 5/3". we all knew that when placing the order.
problem is, they aren't saying anything about when they're expected to process to anyone who calls/emails. the silent treatment is annoying a lot of people.
turns out that the link: http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/10214 now says 5/8. not sure if that applies to those of us who ordered earlier, or to the new batch of orders. Guess we'll know on Fri. Either way, they have my order b/c they offer free activation as well, so it's 199 + add'l $36 savings + some random accessories.

So lets say it does actually process my order on the 8th (probably later though due to ordering later). The 8th is a wednesday. That means most likely the phone won't ship out until monday the 13th or later. According to http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/content/do/shipping, it takes 4-7 days just to ship it out. So i wouldn't get it until the 17th- 20th at the earliest. This is assuming there will be no more delays. Plus, it will cost me extra for the membership or the hassle of trying to get a free membership trial. Amazon is saying it will arrive the 22nd but from my experience it can be earlier than estimated. Plus That's after the 2day shipping which is free. Is it really worth the hassle and possible extra money to get it 2 days earlier? Now if i get get it today brick and mortar that would be a totally different story.
Amazon also has a great return policy (you know just in case)
haha well that's up to you. i'm hoping they're updating the link in combo with their expected batches. That'd put me in the 5/3 batch. so i'm expecting mine around the 8th.
ps. you don't need a membership to purchase from costco wireless.

Actually, I'm in the same boat - was hoping for a good reason to be talked out of waiting too. If Amazon will drag it out, maybe another deal may pop up. Still happy with my SGII, so no hurry to ditch it while hoping to get to that magical $150 new subscriber cost.

I know, sprint really screwed over its loyal customers in order to attract new ones. If they keep this up they won't keep their new ones, much less their old ones. Unfortunatey, I am still running on my old epic 4g from 2.5 years ago. Probably shoulda upgraded to the s3 a year ago but whatever.
