2 Touchstones for Palm Pre $69 at Best Buy (YMMV)

packfanlv · 07-03-2009, 04:18 PM

I did this and it was a no go. The sku is for the single kit. Others on another site claimed to get two kits, but it seems they are catching on.

Didn't work for me...

did it. They didn't let it work. However got them to discount each to $39.99.

These things cost probably $1 to make, seriously. Maybe $5 after labor, r&d, and shipping. Not like other products aren't guilty of this, but $69 for one dock deserves special mention. I'd wait for the knockoffs. I looked at a touchstone in the store and the Pre fell off when I put it on the Touchstone. The screen was also very poorly calibrated, which is odd. I realize that demo units get beat up, but I've seen iphone demo units and they are at least functioning properly.

Agreed. I have an OralB Precision clean (something like that) and it charges by putting the plastic bottom of the toothbrush onto a plastic stand. The actual toothbrush cost $11. And it probably uses the same technology as the touchstone.

It worked for me...ordered online & picked up in store. When only one was waiting for me, we had to get the manager. After waiting about 15 minutes, ended up getting the 2 for $69.

$40 for a charger? Is that a sane decision?

lol i still have it kept sealed... still thinking the same thing. But it was $30 off now so i took it for now.
