Unlocked and expensive Asus Padfone goes on sale in the US

The curiously talented handset however comes far from being the most sensible offering in the high-end Android realm - its price is simply eye-watering.
As you can notice in the screenshot above, an unlocked 16GB version of the Asus Padfone, bundled with the tablet dock will set you back the rather steep $859.50. Expect the price to go up by another Benjamin should you decide that you need some extra built-in storage.
This kind of cash will easily land you separate Android smartphone and a tablet straight from the top shelf. In case you look really hard, you might even be left with some spare change. Which option do you think makes more sense?
