Is the padfone station available already? What other accessories did you get along with it?

I am quite keen on this phone, but haven't seen this demo set anywhere to try it.
Was a satisfied PF2, PFInfinity user. The build Quality of those model were splendid.

Such a pity It seems Asus went downgrade in terms of aesthetics.. but price also cheaper so I cant complain here..

Currently surviving 1 day by using Dual Sim 4G Lte phone with 2300mah batt so I cant see any reason this phone cant last 1 day of normal usage

I am testing the phone now, so will try to answer some of the questions.

OS is actually pretty decent. comes with 4.4.2. the ZenUI interface looks rather nice. Modern flat design. I like the colour bars. Also you can load other launcher too if you prefer. However, if you want to use it with the tablet, you should stick with the default launcher which is better at switching between the two interfaces.

Battery drain is around 25% for 7 hr usage. Usage pattern is talktime around 10 min, two email account in background with Whatsapp and usual stuff. Slight surfing. No problems getting through a day use. The tablet dock also charges the phone.

Where did u purchase the tablet dock?
