Guest wilkinsxg Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Anyone know how long it takes for restock of these as guy in shop had no idea. Well I ordered a Dock from the Currys site last night and they had at least 2-3 in stock (I almost ordered two, and it let me put more than one in the basket). Looks like they sold out this morning. When I bought my Vega from a PC World store last Saturday, I was told it was the last one in stock. When it failed the next morning, I took it back in on the Sunday and they'd had at least another two come into stock that day, so they did an instant swap there and then. I get the impression they're restocking the Vega & case frequently but in very small numbers. The staff have told me that they have no plans to stock the docking station in-store. My recommendation would be to simply keep an eye on the dock product pages on the Dixons/Currys/PC World sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kevrae Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 In my branch we have been getting consistant stock of vega's and accessories weekly so no problems thus far. Its worth noting that if a store has less than 3 pristine items in stock they will not show for reserve and collect so i would ask customer services as they can get a clearer picture.

On the subject of accessories has anyone bought any in car gear, if so was it any good or just over priced c**p.

Guest louca001 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I've just tried to find the Advent Vega Docking Station and have been told by all three of the Dixon, PC World, Currys stores that the product is unavailable. Not out of stock, unavailable. Have they stopped selling them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's supposedly for a blackberry the Advent Vega can be used with it as it is a universal holder for DVD players, TVs etc. The only gripe I have with it is that the "fingers" that grip the Vega are bigger than required but still grip firmly.

Guest BlackCat^ Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Does anyone "in the know" have any knowledge of what is happening with the official docking station? It has gone from Out of Stock on PC Worlds site to not listing at all. Have I missed the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has gone from Out of Stock on PC Worlds site to not listing at all. Have I missed the boat? I ordered mine last week from pcworld website. Came on saturday. You would of thought you could use it without taking the case off. Sadly this is not the case (unless am missing somthing lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has gone from Out of Stock on PC Worlds site to not listing at all. Have I missed the boat? I think it is a bit like the early stock issues with the Vega. I managed to find it in stock a couple of weeks ago and it arrived a few days later. Maybe they don't want too many in stock till they can judge the demand. I have had a mouse working on mine so far but had to reboot the Vega before it was recognised. Next test will be a 3G dongle as I can't run USB Mode while I am still on 1.09. If it works, I will seriously think about one of the custom roms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warriorscot Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I remember it being mentioned they just had a small run to see if it would be successful as a product. Not sure how well that went it was priced higher than most people said they were willing to pay for it and didn't have it's own charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Village Idiot Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 and didn't have it's own charger. You mean it doesn't charge the Vega up when it is sat on it? If so, I'm out. Maybe on the Vega altogether, the negative column seems to be growing and soon something is going to be the final straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he means it doesnt come with a charger :D what are the negatives you refer to i have had nothing but fun and although i have caused it to "die" a few times it has never faiked to exceed my expectations.

I bought a Vega and then sent it back as fortunately I was able to in the light of the price drop. Since then I've got fussier and been able to define what I want a tab to do, better. So the viewing angle is a niggle now, I now think I want 3G and ideally I'd like 3.0 without waiting for a port-over rom. I may yet get a(nother) Vega by accepting that at the current price it is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Village Idiot Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 No he means it doesnt come with a charger :D So you plug your existing charger into the back of the dock and you are away? That's of no concern to me at all then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC plus a better screen won't worth almost double the price. The Samsung 10.1 is gonna be well worth its £400 price tag especially as it is thinner and lighter than an ipad2 and has a screen that is better than IPS. Gotta wit til june tho.

Guest GabbaGabbaHey Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I may yet get a(nother) Vega by accepting that at the current price it is a bargain.You may have missed the boat - it's back up to £229.99 at Dixons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Village Idiot Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 You may have missed the boat - it's back up to £229.99 at Dixons. On the other hand, I have £50 worth of DSG vouchers that I can only spend in-store and don't have any use for. So it's six and two threes a bit.

Guest High Flyer Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Edit: Accidentally posted without reading the rest of the thread. What a fool I am! If you happen to have enough money in your account you can buy the dock, then take your receipt and dock into branch, there they'll return it as unopened and sell you it again, but this time you'll be able to use the vouchers. I do this for customers all the time, it's completely legitimate Edited April 7, 2011 by High Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mabier Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi, Anyone recently bought docking station? I have been looking for it even outside UK. I have been at PC World two weeks ago and they did not have a single one in the UK and now it's been removed form PC/World/Dixons website as well. Do you know of any docking station from vega clones that would work? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I have had mine for a couple of weeks, but I bought it through the PC World web site just before they went out of stock and removed it. I guess all you can do is monitor the site from time to time and jump in if it appears again. From what I can tell, the ViewSonic 10S is the same device and they speak of the docking connector in their marketing data, but the UK dealers stocking it (i.e. Misco) are not offering any accessories at the moment.

Guest BlackCat^ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have tweeted @AdventVega previously (as have a few others) to enquire about the next availability of the docking station as I could do with one but they don't want to know by the looks of it. Only other real channel of getting to find out is their call centres and I doubt they would have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
