When ASUS bumped the specs from the OG ASUS Padfone to the sequel, they did a great job of giving the phone high-end specs and according to anonymous supply chain sources, almost 1 million units have been sold of the phone that transforms into a tablet; the device has racked up these sales figures despite being available in only a few countries...

I always really liked the design of this thing not mention I think Asus is a great company. Too bad I wasn't able to get one on CDMA.

I really like the concept of the ASUS Padphone series. Add on the right keyboard accessory (say, a keyboard with Chrome OS or a Linux distro to boot up when the tablet is connected) and this thing could become the ultimate in mobility, convenience, & productivity.
That's what I'd like to see: smartphone + tablet + ultraportable.

Exactly.. only thing missing here is higher resolution on the tab.
I hope other makers will realize the potential of this and offer cheap pad modules as well.

Actually I feel quite surprised about the sale, because I thought the price of Padfone 2 with dock is even higher than the combination of Nexus 4 and Nexus 10. But now i understand that not everyone knows about this fact and the price of nexus in Asia is very high.

that's irrelevant
Nexus 4 16G = 350€
Nexus 10 32G = 500€

This is more expensive than a 32G padfone 2 wich cost 800€, and just 50 less than the 64G padfone 2, and you don't need to share internet connection, the phone can charge in the dock, the tablet also have radio,sms, gsm, 4G LTE, 13mp caméra.
What you have on one device is also on the other device, since it's just one device, it's a lot more handy.

Hopefully the Padfone 3 marks the return of the detachable keyboard. As far as I know, the Padfone 2 never got one.

I never understood why Asus didn't make the Padphone a global phone (pentaband). It's a shame.. I would have bought it..
