I stopped by the Verizon store today to look at the lapdocks. They only had the 100 on display, so I was asking if they had "the larger one" (I had done some quick research on my Razr before going to the store, and had read up a bit on the 500. He didn't have the 500, but brought out the lapdock for the Bionic. I liked the size, partway between the 100 and 500, and I loved the slimness, almost the same as the Razr at its thicker point.
The sales person was telling me he was pretty sure the Razr would work with it, because one of his coworkers had broken the screen on his Razr and was using a bionic lapdock as a work-around. Then he found out the price on the bionic lapdock had been lowered to $200, so I bought it.
Now I'm finding that it doesn't quite work. The ports line up (though the Razr is upside-down), but the shape of the dock for the Bionic gets in the way of the shape of the Razr, and the ports don't seat well. At one point I got it to load into Webtop, but the touchpad only worked for a moment. I think it would work with just a bit of clearance added to the dock, but I can still return the lapdock for a refund, and am not keen on modifying a $200 accessory unless I'm ABSOLUTELY sure it will work and be useful. I also think it would work with some kind of extension cables, but I haven't been able to find the right cables, and it looks like others have also tried to find the right cables for other phone/lapdock combos with no success (outside of using a multitude of cables and adapters, which would get rather clumsy).
So, just wondering if anyone on here has info on getting the Lapdock for the Droid Bionic to work with the Razr before I take it back.
