I don't know how long you guys are planning to keep your phone for, but I've seen so many people spend like crazy money on accessories on top of your device. eg.
$500 for the Fuze
$30 for bodyguardz protector (i want to buy just 1 piece for the back cover... but they don't sell it separately... can anyone draw me a pattern of that piece?)
$30 for an Innocase Surface - Black
$50 for a 16GB microSD
$30 for TV out cable
.... etc
By experience with the Tilt, I've only kept the phone for 10 months. In average, I change phone every years... and not all of those accessories will fit on your next phone. So why spending so much on something that you'll get rid off soon?
This is just out of curiosity, no finger pointing or judgment... I think it's fun to see who's the biggest spender here.
As for me, here are what I've spent so far on my Fuze
$550 for my Fuze
$10 for an N95 Case with wallet (which fit the phone nicely)
$15 for an 8GB microSD, Class 6 Trenscend
$10 for a desktop charger + extra battery
$15 for the rubber back cover on expansys
$10 for a stylus with Ballpoint Pen... but I'm still waiting, it should costs around $5 once it hit eBay.
----For a total of $600----
and i find this is quite expensive for a new phone. Hopefully in a few months I'm still able to sell the phone for a good price. I only buy what I really need.
$200 for Fuze via Amazon
$50 for 16gb SanDisk MicroSD
$8 for leather side flip case w/ magnetic latch
LOTS of freeware and recycled apps from my 8525
Fuze--Free
8gb san disk--35.00
Leather case-- Free
Seidio Innocase holster and surface--Free
T.v Out --30.00
Special Orange AT&T Sim--Free
Bodyguardz--Free
So a total of 65.00
so far $199 for my Fuze and nothing else. Looking to get a case and a screen protector as I already had an 8 GB card.
Fuze--$400 on Craigslist
Seidio Innocase --$30
Screen Protectors --$10
$300 for Fuze
$10 for Case on ebay
$18 for 8gb card through online deal
so far.....
Where are the big boys?
$350, officially, for the Fuze. No contract, employee purchase. Subtract $50 for AT&T gift cards earned through sales program. Ditto for the SDHC's.
Phone (Net): $300

The Tilt lasted me 7 months. The E71 was my main phone for ~4 months. Hopefully this one will actually last me until the next HTC flagship lands on AT&T.
Fuze:150 with 150 rebate through Justtalk.com
Fuze:Free- net price
8gb kingston class 4
with extra mini Usb adapter: $20

I have acquired many friends in the wireless industry over a 13 year career, and I take care of them and they take care of me. By the way you should see all the free stuff I received when I was at the CES show.

Mostly Shirts, Hats, Pens, Golf Balls, promo stuff. Then there is the cool stuff like the wireless induction charger, car chargers, cases, gift certificates from restaurants, Atomic clock, Rugged Bluetooth earpiece, Jump Drives, Lazer Pointers. The all you can eat and drink party from NOKIA. Oh yea and the IPHONE that was live and I went to jailbreakme.com on ( that was funny ). And the whole trip was complements of my employer and all you FINE at&t customers. Keep paying that bill so i can get ripped at CTIA.
Here is some more, I hooked the Nintendo dude up with a refurb tilt and boy did he hook me up.

Have a spare, sent mine back twice and got a charger each time.
i have an extra one
Go buy a charging dock from Verizon. It includes a standard charger and they are on clearance right now for $9.97. Even if you don't use the dock it'd chapter than just buying the charger which for some reason is still $30. I also heard Staples had Xoom accessories on sale for super cheap.

ebay has plenty. I bought a non OEM one for $10 (they included a car chager as well). also bought an official moto one of ebay for $8 this past week as a backup.

I can't use eBay looking for someone with an extra for sale

I have one but it probably wouldn't be worth it to you by the time shipping costs are included. As stated, just go to a Verizon store and get one for 10 bucks.

Got one from the vzn store!! Thanks man. Dock for $15 and leather folio case for the same price

I know the OP was able to grab what they needed from Verizon, but for others who may be looking, another option is the HD Speaker Dock. If you can FIND one, they're going for $20 new from Verizon as clearance (prolly to make room for the Xyboard accessories). I went in person to a VW store and lucked out, getting the last one they had. I don't think (not willing to try it) you can plug the more powerful power source straight into the Xoom itself as an alternative to using the dock, but I have to say having the HDMI port in the back of the dock and the speakers is pretty nice, at $20 a pop.
I picked up a couple at a local Staples for $1.50 each. I have one extra I don't really see using.
If you're local in central CT I'd happy to give it away to someone who would use it.

I am pretty sure that charger can be used with most every phone sold today and the sleeve should work nicely with any iPad
Charger $4.99 http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pr...umpid=in_r329_personalization/browse3/PDP_PDP
Sleeve $1.99 http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pr...umpid=in_r329_personalization/browse3/PDP_PDP
Case $4.99 http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/pr...umpid=in_r329_personalization/browse3/PDP_PDP
You mean I'm not stuck trickle charging for 5 hours to get my Touchpad to boot....
Bliss. Ordering one when I get home, for sure.

bah! Very nice of HP to throw "free shipping" and not to specify the conditions until after you check out.
The charger is really nice for the Touchpad, I use it for everything microUSB. Its hard to find >1A USB chargers for a good price.
The cable it comes with is 5' and rubber coated, other chargers like my Motorola only ship with a 3' cable.
slickdeals rocks ...
Has anyone heard anything new on the wireless charging? Just wondering if we have to purchase that afterwards. Would love to have that feature

Wireless charging is included inside the phone. But it won't work without the wireless charging dock. Which is still not available. And no price has been announced yet either

Since the Nexus 4 uses Standard Qi wireless charging, I suggest going onto amazon and buying a Palm Touchstone wireless charger.
I am under the assumption the wireless orb originally made for this product will be extravagantly more expensive in comparison to the Palm Touchstone.
I ordered mine off Amazon for around $5.30 with shipping and tax and it arrived 3 business days later.

the Palm Touchstone wireless charger does not comply with the QI standard and therefore does not work with the nexus 4, as per:

I thought it won't work with the touchstone per androidcentral

I'm pretty sure I've read from somebody who has the N4 and the touchstone, they don't work.

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I was under the impression the Touchstone charger was Standard Qi
Yeah the Palm Touchstone doesn't work. Sounds like you wasted time and money

I did the same thing with jumping the gun on some touchstones. Not a big deal as I'm doing the wireless charging palm mod to my Gnote 2. I also picked up the PowerMat 2 position with powercube on amazon for like $20 or something. I'ts QI compliant and should work with the nexus 4. If not I'm giving up lol

According to powermat's online chat tool person powermat's format is NOT qi compatible. Dont feel bad, I bought one of the powermat pads hoping it would work too and returned it already.
The LG 700 mat sold by verizon IS, along with energizer qi pads.

I think official products are there.
And this works, but a bit pricy:

As well as Nokia's set of new chargers, which also are pricy.

It's also ugly as sin.
Besides buds, portable charges, wireless dock /pad charges, cases...
What did you get with your $200 credit from Samsung?
I'm struggling to pick something without having to pay any additional money.

Tab A 10.1 32GB -> Sell -> Put towards my $1400 dollar phone lol
I will get a keyboard case for my Tab S6 and probably another wireless charger... Got the Buds+ from Amazon and they are great, amazing.
I got 2x silicone case, 1x wallet LED case, 1x leather case, 1x 45watt charger.
Going to sell everything except 1 silicone case..originally thought I would use money toward 43" QLED, until I saw that samsung was screwing with us - only offering most expensive TV's. The tablets were rip-off as well, same options being sold brand new on Ebay for $50-$100 less!
