The current price at all telcos for trade in for Asus padfone 2 is at $400. It's a fun phone but the trade off is that the support/accessories are not as easily found as compared to Apple/Samsung.
As for cables/repairs, the only location for repair is at tai seng and is often out of the way. The other thing is that market generally is not too "hot" for these models so the re-sale is usually slow.
Just my 2 cents.
Haha...
you must remember that people that have problems tend to voice out complains and frustrations... but people without problems tend to keep it in and not say so much..
I'm fully utilizing my padfone 2. Tablet mode for my morning news and when I'm at office.. bring the phone for lunch or to continue my readings on crowded buses..
Low powered screen brings good battery life and tablet mode never runs out of juice on me while reading.. while max brightness outdoor mode can stand its ground under the sun and it has enough processing power for even the heaviest games around.
I do have my share of complaints, but it's still an awesome device imo.
Oh and one thing is that you don't go around seeing everyone holding the same phone as yours..

So far I only went there once due to the infamous MB issue with firmware (or twice, to buy extra usb cable ).i guess i wont be running to to the service centre like every month rite? if once or twice in a year i probably ok.
Yeah, unfortunately PadFone 2 as a tablet is rather low on battery life, although it has enormous amount as a phone.but watching shows require quite alot of battery i guess. so struggle!
Oh yes, you will not be able to find any PadFone 2 accessory of the shelves.I fully agree that it's a great device.. Only thing i would say is the lack of accessories in the open market outside.
Another problem is the power saver options. At one time, enabling smart power saver improves battery life, then one fine day, battery depletes fast even with the smart power, then switching to Asus power saver gets good battery life again.
So, power saver scheme is a little erratic.
Oh yes, you will not be able to find any PadFone 2 accessory of the shelves.
you gotta find them online, or be creative.
On this note, I would bring up another point of comparison regarding the usb charger.
PadFone 2 has a customized usb charger which can only be bought at their service centre for S$15.
Normal usb does fit the PadFone 2 (not the other way around), however it's loose and can at times get frustrating to use.
This is one of the things that they fixed on the new PadFone infinity. They use the standard usb charger.
I recall back in hardwarezone, there was a seller selling the casing for both dock & padstation and I had to get the screen protector online but that was as far as I went. After which, I just stopped looking for accessories.. it was just too tough.. haha!
I ordered mine from Aliexpress since 4 Jul & it's still stuck in some China city's post office... doing nothing...
Thanks everyone for your input! I finally join the padphone2 family today. At first was going to get infinity already coz was told by starhub that they are not carrying padfone2 anymore (official reply frm starhub fb). then i call the starhub hotline to double check there is indeed no stock anywhere.
So i went to plazza sing today since i have some capital voucher and guess what, when i did a check, padfone 2 is in stock. apparently they only have 3 black and 3 white left but yeahhhh i got it!
So far not much issue (of coz! im only using for less than 5hrs) except that when i charge the station without the phone they did not indicate the battery stat. (that is normal rite? pls tell me yes)
as for the accessory wise... time to do some online shopping! haha.
by the way, does asus sell the retractable padfone 2 cable? it can be quite irritating to carry the long cable ard. haha.
Welcome to the PadFone 2 family!
Right after you charge the station, it will flash a charging animation on the screen which only last for a second. After which, there's no way to see whether the station is charging, other than docking your phone.
When I was buying extra usb cables, the CSO told me there is only one cable... they don't even sell longer/shorter ones.
ahhh okie. at least that means no problem with my station. hahha.
i see this coming when i ask that question. hahaha. but surprising my cheapo micro usb cable i bought frm gmarket fits quite nicely. i try to pull it with a bit of strength it doesnt come out. so i guess i could live with that.
so happy with my new phone! yipeeee!!!
Hi there,
Could you please share which Micro USB cable you got from gMarket? There are so many! Thanks!
