No. It does not have keyboard dock. Asus reason is that they need to keep the unit thin, thus they opt out the keyboard dock connector.
Also, with a thin frame, when you dock in, it tends to wobble more than a thicker frame.

Only padfone 1 have the keyboard dock.

Hi PC Dreams, Will you have it in white during launch? When is the pre-ordering ending? Thanks.

Is the stylus going to be the same as padfone 1 where you can make voice call too?

 

[XcoldstarX]

By right Padfone 2 not supposed to come with a stylus headset. So if it does I am guessing it's the Padfone 1 stylus.

I just took a good look and noticed it is a "2-in-1 Stylus Pen (worth S$28)" and not a "Stylus Headset". Can be those cheapskate stylus that can be open up to reveal a pen within

On a side note the original stylus headset cost S$128 and should also be compatible with padfone 2 since it uses standard bluetooth connectivity

*Update*
Just saw this on Asus Singapore Facebook:

"ASUS Singapore Hi Yitch Blob, we will be releasing the JB update soon. Please stay tuned to this space for the updates. Thanks! Fripside S. Tan, the stylus is not Bluetooth stylus, so it will not be able to be used a microphone to pick up call. However, all other Bluetooth headsets/accessories can be used to answer calls as well on the PadFone 2. Thank you."

The bonus for pre-order this time round like... pretty crappy

I'm pretty happy with my Padfone 1, but if Starhub / ASUS has a good deal for trade-in I might consider upgrading. The Padfone 2 looks so much sleeker! *envy* =P

Well I was trying to be polite haha

Considering that this time Padfone 2 is actually priced very close to Taiwan RRP (Unlike the exorbitant price Starhub charged for Padfone 1), I think the pre-order package is good enough. When I pre-ordered in Taiwan it was only the phone and station. No free gift or whatsoever.

When you see and try out the Padfone 2, you will find that your Padfone 1 is like crap.

This is coming from someone who upgraded from Padfone 1 to Padfone 2.

starhub is still charging exorbitant price for padfone 2 for their plans.. i think i recontract for another phone, sell it off and buy the bundle also cheaper than paying for the phone from starhub.
