Would anyone pick one of these up , if it were to come to sprint, or Another carrier? I like the thought about it. Could raise questions about a separate data plan for the device, since it can be used as a tablet. But What are the thoughts about it? Good? Bad? Right direction? I personally think that the tablet dock station should have a battery built in it, so it doesn't drain the actual phone battery. 

 

Here is the Cnet Review of it: http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/asus-padfone-september-2013/4505-6452_7-35827814.html

 Best info I could find for it at the time, I just was curious as I stumbled upon it early this morning, so I did not get much time to find any info about it.

My son is keeping an eye out for one at a reasonable price. He likes odd or quirky things like this.

I think this looks really nice tbh. It's a clever idea, BUT! I like having my phone and tablet separate. I normally do studying on my tablet and look up facts and answers on my phone. That way I don't have to switch between study guides and browsers.

 

Another company who I think is making some pretty nice phones is Lenovo. But they don't sell here in the US :'(

See I would buy this in a heartbeat If the price was right. But I think using the cellphone battery is a turn off. They did get it right though with the microsd card slot. I like the idea. How much do you think this would cost for the full set up?

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
