Prices listed above are accurate. Note that this price is a promotional price which is schedule to end sometime in August.

Padfone set can be purchased officially only from Asus authorised reseller in Plaza Low Yat Kuala Lumpur at the moment. ROM is specific to Malaysia. No further information on how much the Station dock cost or when would it be available yet

A proud user of Padfone from Malaysia here! Just a tip, you can get the phone and the station for around RM 2200 if you manage to get a friend to buy it as well. For the stylus, its quite limited and due to that, they charged u at a whopping RM 209! So be careful and counter them by using the normal price and they will backdown.

it should be WW, that doesn't come without Garmin Streetpilot. I do not understand why Asus only ship Streetpilot to TW-based padfone (and not to mention, you can actually get it by just installing the TW firmware)
