Currys ain't loading
Or is just me?
Awesome, thanks for letting us know!
Update:
The company has since confirmed they will go on sale at all three stores online from 6pm, and in store tomorrow morning.
The 16GB version will be £89, down from £349, while the 32GB version will be £115, down from £429. He stressed there would be "limited stock".
Webb also added the company would be offering refunds to those who paid the full price.

Any idea if other retailers (Amazon UK, Ebuyer, etc.) will follow suit?

Refreshing the dixons.co.uk TouchPad page every minute or two now
If it runs Android soon...
I think they have sold out before even lowering the price as people buy at full price in order to get the refund.
Bummer
Paul
If that's happened...noooooo!
The product pages keep going up/down, not too sure why though.
As of writing the 16GB page is up - 32GB one says unavailable.
would love one - not sure if I am allowed to spend £90 though
Dixons - Sorry, this product is currently not available.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It's back, now. They keep taking it on/off for some reason.
Bloody tease!
Patience my young padawans.
i have amazon,official hp,dixons,pc world/curries ,bestbuy,expansys and twitter tabs open and refreshing every 30 sec....... have i missed any? i will likely be getting both16 and 32 versions any one else getting both the versions?
at dixons 32GB one is 115 now!
cant seem to get one though. the site is unusably laggy, and if the product page actually loads, it says unavailable. anyone got one so far?
No all seems a bit iffy to me...
Paul
Would it be better to go in store or buy online? I'm thinking buy in store because online can be dodgy at times.
this is proper laggy, I'm trying to pay for one.#
Update: god dam it!!! got to the address screen which then took me back to the main screen with an empty basket!!!
I'm not preordering, and to me that just means im going to get it the day of release.
I was wondering what your guys views on the matter was.
Do you think there will be plenty in store? or is your only chance a preorder?
From what I've heard and talked to people at Best Buy, they won't even be in stores until after the New Year. I pre-ordered because I've been burned in the past thinking that they'd have them in store on release day and so far that has never happened.

the guy i talked to at future shop said he would probably have some in store.

Oh and NO 64GB IN STORES! Last I checked they were only available from a few online retailers, which totally sucks. Oh and waking up early to go pick it up to save shipping costs is a pretty good deal. If you want a 32GB, stores are the way to go.
I have never pre-ordered any computer hardware before, I thought getting old means being more patience... maybe not this toy.
Anyone has experience with Bestbuy preorder? Do they send it off a few days before official release date so it arrives to you on the day of release?

id like to know this as well, hell if any site did that.. give me a link and ill preorder it right now.
the main advantage to preordering is to ensure you have one at release, going by asus' track record for the OG transformer, not getting one of the initial shipment could mean you're going to have to do a lot of hunting and waiting to get a hold of one.
although, gamestop might be your best bet to picking one up at launch.

i live in canada and i don't have an gamestop anywhere close to me, i do have an EB games tho.
I'm wondering if i ordered one online, could i cancel it if i was able to find one in stores? and what i heard about the last asus, was that they had some in stores they just went out of stock right away, am i right?
I talked with a Best Buy manager this weekend and he said they don't expect to see the Prime in the store until sometime in January.
Another Best Buy post on this site: [Updated 12.04.11]Transformer Prime and Dock on BestBuy.com | New information! is by an employee of Best Buy and he is saying that even when they are carried in the store they will only be the gray version. Gold will on be available online.
As popular and as much hype surrounding this tablet goes, I doubt any will be available in any stores. Especially release day and you haven't preordered yet. All stocks will go to preorders first. Then if any left of someone backs out, then u might luck up and find one.
I just did mines at GameStop. Put $50 dollars down on preorder on 32GB version and I'm guaranteed to get it on Dec. 19th. For in store pickup. Just pay difference when you go in to pickup. You really can put down as much as you want but $50 is the minimum. Also of for some reason you have to cancel, you can get all your money back as long as you hold the receipt. They also said you can come a day or 2 after the 19th. To pick it up if you can't make it that day of release and it's still guaranteed to be held for you.
I think GameStop preorder is the best way to go if you want to have device guaranteed before Christmas or on the 19th. Which is like 2 weeks away! Plus for the same price others charging, GameStop gives you about $42 of pre installed software. I believe it's like 8 games or something that are optimized for tegra3. You can find out exactly which ones they are on GameStop website. These games normally cost about $6 a piece if you get them from TegraZone or android market. So I thinks that's especially cool. That glow ball game is really amazing, as far as graphics n looks go.

cool, but i dont have a gamestop near me, maybe ill go for a road trip or something... i thought gamestop was only for selling consoles and games and stuff, just like eb games.
edit: just looked at gamestop.com... its only for america, i don't have a passport, that sucks!!
Used to be pre-order was the way to go because you were guaranteed one. Now a days It's a diff story! I don't want to face the lines and risk of them not being in the store.
todays the 23, the stores are open in 45 mins! Do you think i will be getting my prime today? If i call my local futureshop, staples and best buy, and they have none in stalk, is there any other way to get one?

Considering today is Friday, tomorrow is the last day of possible deliveries before Christmas. Even if there were any available online, which there aren't, it is extremely unlikely you would get one delivered by tomorrow even with overnight shipping.There are a few to none available for sale from the stores as everyone is scrambling to fill pre-orders.
In short, you're probably out of luck friend, unless by some miracle you manage to find one from a B&M store without a pre-order (unlikely).

damn, looks like im waiting till my preorder comes in.
May be worth calling some smaller computer places. Sounds like some people on here have found ones at some smaller stores.
You're not going to find them at any of the major retailers. Both Future Shop and Best Buy have stated that they will fill their pre-orders first before any make it onto the store shelves....and no one seems to have received a pre-order from them yet. The only people seeming to have success are pre-orders from other retailers or stumbling upon them at much smaller retailers. Good luck.....you're going to need it....haha
Did it launch in Canada? Thought it got delayed...

i called my future shop and some of the people there are also waiting for there very own asus and they said they should be getting some in store before or at the same time the preorders go out.

This is concerning and infuriating if it's actually sold at this price after 3 weeks.
HH Gregg is notorious for the bait and switch though

Just be wary. This store has a shaky reputation, and if it "appears too good to be true"...well, you know. IMO, the "shipment arrives at noon" already sounds like a red flag.

Last year I remember all the hype over the $100 off coupon.... so it is possible they are selling for that but just take into account that it's a vendor discount not Asus lowering the price. I guess that is just the tab only? Because the pair in the UK is £499

Every negative review I read has something to do with their online sales and deliveries but like I said we have local stores and I am picking it up there it's not being shipped.
I wonder how long best buy would honor a price...probably just your return period? This would really piss me off. I don't give a damn if it's discontinued. I love the tablet and it's look and feel. But, I would hate knowing I spent $100 extra on something that is still within my return period. I mean, they are probably going to get scalpers buying these up and reselling them.
Anyway, chime in when someone actually has one in hand. This will tank original transformer sales as well if true.

Fair enough stay tuned I should be able to report back around 7pm with results.
Best Buy is gonna hate this
So, all you folks who got the shaft from BB on getting Preorders on time? Try this:
Buy It Now with Confidence Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at alocal retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period. Perfect Match Promise products have an extended 60-day price match period.
Sounds good for $100 to me:

Looks like Amazon have the Huawei 128gb Nano Memory card up for pre order. It's quite expensive £54.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-Nan...d=1540543546&sr=8-6&keywords=nano+memory+card
I can't seem to find much other information about it, and it also seems odd that it just popped up on Amazon before anywhere else.
What do we think? Will other card manufacturers start making generics?
Hmmm... Usually sold by Huawei on Amazon US
Thank you for finding that! I'm very interested in getting one of these despite the high price. But I'm concerned about the seller on the Amazon UK sure in that link. Usually always sells their products themselves on the Amazon US site, I agree this sounds a bit odd. Has anyone heard of this seller or use them before?
Any other links to alternative sources that might be a bit more legitimate would be welcome as well
[I'm new so xda dev form is not letting me post a link to the seller's profile, but it's Tienda Siglo XXI]
49 euros in Amazon DE, seller is Amazon.
Thanks! No US delivery tho :-/

Aaaaargh! So close and yet so far. Thank you very much for the link, best price I've seen.
Unfortunately they won't deliver that item to US. Following your lead, I saw one other (non Amazon) seller there on Amazon.DE but they won't ship to US either. It will let me add to cart but I get errors when trying to check out that there is no US delivery.
I really appreciate the help... The search continues, and unfortunately may need to resort to a third party eBay thing when that becomes a viable option.

If the seller is Amazon they will ship to the US regardless of what the site says. Ordered the super car charger last week and it shipped today to the US from the UK even though the site says won't ship to the US.

Thanks for heads up and sharing your experience, perhaps it only works for Amazon UK (which unfortunately does not seem to list the NanoMemory card at all), but it doesn't seem to be true for Amazon DE.
Even though the 49EUR NanoMemory card for Mate 20 Pro is sold by Amazon it will not let me check out with a US shipping address (I tried several different US address).
I hey there following message and only the option to delete it from my cart, not purchase:
Huawei NanoMemory 128G Memory Card for Mate20/Mate20 Pro
There was a problem with some of the items in your order (see below for more information):
Sorry, this item can't be sent to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the delivery address or delete the item from your order.
The quest continues... I messaged all the Mate 20 Pro sellers I could find on eBay and all except one said unambiguously that they will not sell any Mate 20 Pro accessories. That one seller may offer accessories, time will tell if they follow through.
These were in stock a few days ago on Amazon UK.

Currently on backorder with expected stock date of 9th Nov
And the price has dropped a little (well actually % wise quite a bit)
Still twice the price of a regular 128gb micro sd card
who's going to be the first person to try "adapting" a standard SD card to fit ;o)

Mines out for delivery today. Ordered from DE Amazon to UK.
I also ordered from Amazon DE, original delivery date was 14 November, then last week it changed to 6-8 November. But not yet shipped...
EDIT: now says shipped, delivery on 8 November
Received today form Amazon.co.uk. Fits fine however doesn't come with any kind of adapter to plug into a computer so the only way to put existing stuff onto it is connecting phone to PC via USB lead
Card just received today. Will try and see how it works.
