First of all, i want to keep clear so that all of you will not spam me about some common questions that i already know what u guys want to ask. I bought it on e-bay, the dealer is from taiwan so i guess this shipped it from taiwan, i get it around 3.7k included shipping fees, tax, sirim permit bla bla bla.....
This is a Full Spec comes with 32GB padfone with pad station, stylus pen, and station dock. The warranty also in taiwan only, so if u also plan to do so, bare you own risk. The spec you can easily google it so that i wont say much about the basic and cut the crap to my point of view / impression of this machine.
The first one i opening was the padfone of course, the phone itself is very light even after i put on the battery, the total weight is 129g(with battery). Holding it is very comfortable and solid like never before even though its made of plastic. The phone is very very thin but when you holding on your hand it doesn't feel like it will slip off from your hand because of the wave surface design battery cover at the back. The colour and the design makes the phone very noble , stylish.
It contains 3 hard button which is, power button (on top) , and 2 volume button (at the right side of the phone), earphone jack on top middle, the left hand side are the micro usb and micro hdmi and battery charge from the pad station (dun know how to call it)
Then, the pad station with 10.1 inch screen, 1200x800 resolution, 724 gram, 6600 mAh battery capacity. For me,it is a little bit big and the weight still acceptable, but when you jack in the padfone, the total weight is a 853g, so its heavier than an i pad 2. The disappointing part on the padfone station is the speaker only contains ONE on the left hand side so the stereo sound system doesn't that good. The screen is bigger than i pad but the frame is seriously thick just like a China Tablet, if the screen make bigger replace the frame, i think it will much more like a netbook and it will be very good experiences in watch video / movie. Beside, the both side of the pad station wasn't speaker, if do it really does perfect stereo speaker.
Here comes the pad station dock, its 646g weight,has similar battery capacity to pad station, keyboard (similar to netbook format), mouse pad, 2 usb port (the usb port got magnet cover, the cover will be auto close if no sub attach to the port), charger port, and memory card reader.The total all combine weight is 1,499g, for me it is very heavy if you holding around without put in a bag to hang on your shoulder. The main point of this pad station dock is that one of the usb port can SUPPORT EXTERNAL STORAGE (HARDISK) , which very good for people who need huge storage spaces to store their documents / songs / and even movies. After i installed a player application which support mkv file (Hd movie file type). Its amazing smooth but buffering takes longer when u start a movie which takes around 1 minute. IT CAN WATCH HD MOVIES WITHOUT ANY LAGGING EVEN U FAST FORWARD. Btw, the typing experiences is very solid unlike you are typing plastic keyboard. A little disappointing on the mouse pad, it reaction is delay around half second when u slide the mouse pad. But with the touch screen, who else need a mouse pad. (PS: You can use a mouse connect to the pad station dock, the delay problem is not happen to a mouse).
Last but not least, i'm sure everyone who willing to buy this phone one of the reason is the ASUS STYLUS HEADSET, very noble design, with rubber head that able use to slide on the tablet or the phone to avoid any fingerprints. the headset is connected with bluetooth, the headset can be connected to any phone which have bluettoth function (TESTED). There are three button on it, (power on, power off, receive call, end call) 1 button and volume up volume down. One of a feature that i look through is if u left it behind, the tablet and the stylus headset will keep beeping and vibrate, unfortunately that was just a concept, the tablet will only beeping once and vibrate, and the headset will only vibrate a while if they are disconnected.The stylus headset charge very fast (estimate less than 2 hours can be use a day)
(Grammar is not that good, if have any questions or problems you can post in this thread, will answer it when i fell free)
