Yes, the Lapdock just turns your phone into Laptop state, so all the features are there, 3G/4G, browsing, gaming, make calls, etc. Everything you can do on your phone but larger and with a keyboard-mouse.

Side Note: If you get the Lapdock 500 it has many features like VGA to PC out, memory slot, Ethernet, even a webcam, but can only do what your phone can do as explained above, nothing more. Lapdock works with Droid 4, Razr, Razr Maxx,and some say Bionic.

I think most people jumped on this because of the price. If I'm gonna spend that kind of money for a lapdock, I'd just get a new laptop..

Well with the Lapdock and your phone you have the power of a netbook, with added features like Calls, true wireless browsing and gaming. It even charges your phone.

If you get a Laptop and/or Netbook you still have to pay for connection if you are not near a hotspot.

So both options have your ups and down. Also the $49.99 accessory for a phone that you already have is a no brainer.

Exactly... that's why I picked up the $49.00 one yesterday. Just saying, the others at what? $299? and another.. That I wouldn't pay for a lapdock.
 
If your phone is not a Bionic and doesn't physically fit into the lapdock's, er, dock...can't you just used HDMI and USB cables to connect it?
Just asking, I don't have a Bionic, and I'm not a "techie"...
 
I can confirm the D4 fits into the bionic lapdock snugly. Web top 3.0 is just like the interface on my wife's transformer just w/o the touch screen. For $50. The transformer with keyboard dock was $600. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

I have to say that for $49.95 it was definitely a no-brainer for me. But it is in no way a replacement for my Transformer, unfortunately. Having Firefox for tabbed browsing is nice - except if you have more than one tab open you get the "low memory" warning. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I've only had the dock for a day, so I've still got a lot to learn about how to use it. But so far the only real advantage I've found over my Transformer is that the lapdock is 3G/4G, so I'm always connected. That IS a big advantage, but it's the only one I've found s far.

Well I got mine yesterday and got to use it last night and a little this morning. Its def a very cool little gadget. The firefox browser on it is very nice, its a very easy hook up, and yes I do have the extended battery on my phone, and it fits fine. Having the ability to have internet anywhere, like when traveling or on vacation with no wifi, is extremely handy. Thats the main reason I wanted one, and the $50 cost was just icing on the cake, you'd have to be nuts to not get one for that price. I still have to test how long the battery will hold up, so I know how long of a trip it will work on, but you can send text while your plugged in, and answer phone calls, it just uses speaker phone. All in all I am extremely happy with it, and I must say my wife is a little jealous that her iphone won't hook up to it :)
 
I snagged one of these today @ the Cullman Alabama VZW corporate store...only 1 they had.

I haven't checked any other Alabama locations, but I would be willing to vet there are a few out here in the deep South...LOL

No joy though on applying my Government Employee discount since it was already reduced...:(
 
Oh yeah! I just picked up the last one in stock at the Verizon store near me. Thanks for posting about the $49 price!
 
i picked up 2 (Razr & Bionic). At first they didnt know what i was talking about so i gave him the part# and he found it for $50. I modified the tray for the Razr and now it fits snug :biggrin:
