I know many of us are still frustrated about the pre-order process, getting forecast ship dates of january-february even though the orders were placed in november. Patience is a virtue, but Asus sure seems to be testing it.

Ah, well- pardon my bad German language skills..
You my friend is one funny mofo lol
Ha ha that made my day!
A little humor goes a long way in situations like this!
Now I'm going to email this link to ASUS.
You have captured this fiasco perfectly! well done!!!!
At the end you mentioned the 10 pre-orders- this might be all that are left after the cancellations- sad but true. I am borderline ready to cancel at this point myself.

Epicness. Thanks dude
Best laugh I have had in a while! Well done!
Haven't seen a Hitler vid in a good while. Good job, man. And I too have been scouring these XDA forums regarding the Prime, haha.
I must say that vid has just about made the wait worthwhile!!!! But then again I am a glutton for punishment, for I endured the Droid Bionic release nightmare!!!!

That was nicely done... and it pretty much sums up the fiasco.
Funny but misleading the part where everyone who bought an iPad or off of Ebay left the room. Zero consideration for Apple here but instead will wait for other options such as Samsung Ta (dual-core Exynos 2GHz), Lenovo Thinkpad, etc.
Haha I wasn't gonna watch as i've seen hundreds of these Hitler rant vids but i'm glad I did - really captured what's been going on! Good job

You are right non that, Apple has its own positive points- but it was mostly done for comedic effect. Wanted to include the alternatives that arrive in CES but there was a lack of dialogue to properly do that..
Great Job, You captured all our sentiments. I hope ASUS sees this. This Transformer Prime thing has been a nightmare. Thanks for the humor.

The Transformer Prime TF700T will likely be the first tablet released to sport a 2.3-million-pixel, 1,920x1,200 screen. For those keeping count, that's more than twice the pixel count of any previous tablets, which top out at 1,280x800 (1.02 millions pixels). No release date but I think its worth the wait.

Good for you. I'm also waiting for my flying car.
I'm going to go take a dump. After that, I'm going to eat my yogurt for breakfast. Then I'll probably work on some press releases that I need to get written.
Beats me why anyone is still considering buying Asus after the disregard they have so blatently shown for their customers.
I'll never purchase or allow to come into my home, another Asus product. There are plenty of other company's out there who haven't yet purposefully shafted their customer base.
Thanks for the info. Ill update my dkb218 fansite now.

And they should care about the opinions of someone who will never buy their products again?
It's kinda ironic though that the Transformers are the best software-supported tablets out there. Constant updates and usually among the first to get the latest.
Now that's...Mean.
Wait. I take it you're the early adapters who got stuck with the OLD version and are acting like you're on the rag because I posted this. Damn. Oh well.
Don't take in out on me little girle men. Call Asus and level a grip at them.
What else did I do today, you ask? I didn't by a Transformer Prime! HA, ha hardy har har!
and then you'll be waiting after that when someone brings out an even snazzier toy.
at what point will you actually stop and buy?
TF700 is slated Q2 which if normal release cycles are anything to go by will be the back end of that quarter and that will be provided there are no delays. they have to be able to produce a 600+ nits screen that can do full HD on mass production levels and hope they don't encounter any other problems.
then you have have whether or not ICS will cope with a full HD screen on normal day to day use, will apps? will ICS need tweaking to work properly? will tegra 3 be able to handle full HD res without dragging its ass like a dog.
I'm buying the prime now, with a weather eye on the TF700 down the line. no reason to deny myself in the meantime. play with the prime. sell it six to seven months down the line and get the newer model sounds like a plan to me.

So.. i think I speak for a lot of hesitant people when i ask this.
Should I?
I had the galaxy tab 7", i now have the xoom (with EOS ICS), i'm not very dependent on the GPS (i use my phone), i am how ever very dependent on wifi, (but not BT)
So.. what do You guys think? if i can live with the GPS flaw and the wifi slowing down using BT at the same time-flaw, is the tab worth it?, would get it with the keyboard docking..

I'm in the same predicament, though I have never had a Tablet, been waiting for the right one. However I'm a full endorser of Android. ICS has made tablets much more usable on a daily basis.
I decided I'm going to get one this weekend (ATP that is), I've read everyone's gripes on here and it still hasn't put me off, as long as I don't get a noticeable fault ie dead pixels.

Absolutely. It'll be June before the TF700 is officially released, and probably a few months later before it'll be readily available in stores. So, figure September or October. Of course, then, you'll be able to come back to the forum and ask if you should get the TF700 or wait for the TF901 that's going to be released in Q4. And then when that's released and available in January of 2013 or so, you'll want to hold off to see what's at CES 2013 before deciding, and come back to the forum and ask if whatever other Tegra 4 device that's announced is really going to be better than the TF901.
Rinse and repeat, forever, until we evolve into entities that can process information with our brains instantly and communicate across vast distances using quantum entanglement and thus won't worry about such mundane things as mobile devices.
Just get it. Life is unpredictable. Meaning you have no control in this world. Never know when your time is up! Lol

Exactly the reason why I've decided to get the 201. Though I don't know why they went from 101, 201, 700....anyone else know the reason for such a jump? lol.
Anyway yea, i think the design for the 201 is much nicer and the screen is still too small to make HD so much more appealing. besides that, I really don't know why the 700 is so much better.
ATP201 FTW

Well if wifi is important to him... its not worth the the risk getting an iffy tablet since he has a xoom for the meantime. Q2 is said to be the official release of the TF700T, do your math a year = 4 Q, 12/4 =3, Jan = 1, 3 = March. I think he can live with using his xoom for a few more months if wifi is really important or another android tablet with comparible specs as the prime comes out without the problems the prime is having.

I'd go for it. Wifi n device works great for me. Had it since 12/22. Its a great device with "Some" known issues affecting a "Minority" of users. Especially if not a GPS buff like some others..lol
Also beware, the dark side will try their hardest to convince you other wise. Make a decision based on both sides. Take a look at all the polls here n your decision will be very clear n easy
If you don't need GPS, get it. The quality issues are getting flushed out, with defective tablets going back. I have a working Champagne (minus GPS, which was still in the spec when I bought it). It's awesome.

True, but from their beta testers (consumers who have the primes) they are able to find out their fatal flaws of the prime. To come out with an actual tablet worth buying... I still say its the "fixed prime" others will disagree that its not the prime. Same hardware with a new backcover, a little better camera, and a little better screen. A pig in human's clothing is still a pig.
And they still screw up with the TF700T, Asus needs to consider replacing their QC.
Go for it. The tf700 is a fair bit more $$$$, and the nicer screen may just be slower/higher battery consumption. Wifi gets 4/4 bars and drops to 3/4 upstairs, so not as good as my laptop that looses no signal at such range, but consistently hits 5-8mbs down and 2 uo. Seems snappy when loading webpages and streams from desktop media just fine.
Cheers!

EDIT: thanks to the other that has made usefull responses
They released this tablet knowing it had issues, they rushed this tablet to the market and most of us feel cheated! Where is the "Persistent Perfection"? It is their company motto! We need to do this to get them to realize their mistakes!
We can all agree that this tablet is plagued with issues, Big or Small; Noticeable or Not; Software or Hardware; Customer Support or Communication.
Known issues we need to stand up for! Whether you experience them or not!:
BLUETOOTH INCOMPATIBLE WITH WIFI!
WEAK/SLOW WIFI!
GPS NON FUNCTIONING!
SCREEN BLEED!
MELTING/OVERHEATING CHARGERS
UNKNOWN SERIAL #'s!
RANDOM LOCKUPS/REBOOTS!
LESS THAN ACCEPTABLE SUPPORT!
HORRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL!
TERRIBLE RMA EXPERIENCES!
DEAD PIXELS!
DUST UNDER YOUR SCREEN!
ETC!
Then to top it all off they are now dedicating all their resources to multiple new tablets (7000t 3000t, 3g prime, Memo, and the Padphone), instead of doing what is right and fixing the first one!
THE GOAL IS TO ATTACK UNTIL THEY RELEASE SOME SORT OF REPLACEMENT/REFUND/EXCHANGE PROGRAM!
We need YOU to Tweet, Comment, and Sign the Petition
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Comment!
Comment their other pages!
Twitter!
Sign the Petition! ( I need someone to write up a really good petition letter that gets sent to 16 different emails each time someone signs the petition! PM me it and post in here!)
TWEET Something Along the Lines of THIS!

You guys obviously where not here for that! got a response from asus within 48 hours
In some way I don't think it was mostly their falt but ours since we were already rushing them. They did delay the sales because of the quality but demand was to big on our side. People wanted the device knowing it had problems and now most of them are fighting that they didn't pay much attention to the tablet. Even though we wanted it the way it was....... But every body has their views.

Shut up some of us are out of our return window! and are you not unhappy that they will be releasing versions with fixed GPS and other stuff!
The bootloader thing was completely different, this is way too far, and its worded like a spoiled teenage rant.
What really annoys me is that I see you "OP" genuinely trying to help bring these problems to light and get Asus to do the right thing and fix this debacle of a product. But instead I see trolls trollin your thread. Lame.
I applaud you for your outcry. This really needs Asus's FULL attention. Not just Gary and a few other employees. I have a feeling Asus is going to proceed with the release of the TF700t and leave the TF201 in the dust. If I was Asus I would carefully take a look at what went wrong with the TF201 and figure out how to fix it. Instead of releasing a new product. If these problems aren't fixed by Tuesday I am returning my Prime and dock and going with an iPad 3 or maybe a TF700t. Most likely an iPad 3. I really hope Asus comes through in the next 72 hours.
Try not to get upset with fellow TF201 owners. I guarantee their tone will change once the TF700t arrives with no problems. We are all on the same team.

No problem. I am here to help.
I know that I have only been a member of this thread for a short while. But I have enjoyed/found most people here to be informitive and entertaining.
Not only is Asus causing me to second guess my 5th TF201 & dock purchase by way of a full refund return, they are alienating me from participating in this wonderful forum full of members with similar interests. After my 5th Prime I'm gone from XDA/Asus.
I really hope it doesn't come down to this.
Ok guys, i feel ya. It sucks getting a faulty product especially over and over. No argument there.
But these issues are only present in a small percentage of Primes. And most of them only apply to artificial situations. For instance wifi: I have a a ~16 Mbps connection. What if my wifi drops to 8 Mbps for some seconds while watching youtube? I wont even notice. So for 95% of Prime users those wifi "issues" dont exist. Me included even though i get pretty steady results.
Minor screen bleed is present on almost all IPS panels even your precious ipads (you should get one, they are perfect devices, will never have problems and last 100 years - sry irony took over ). And again, the only place you notice screen bleed is on startup screen or if your in complete darkness looking at a black page and turning IPS+ on.
So the amount of people that have gone through several primes is very very small. Even here on XDA most people dont experience these issues in a way that the device becomes less fun or even unusable.
By logic the amount of people that will sign this petition and send some spam mail will never be enough to actually achieve something. Sorry man
The bootloader thing was something completely different. Companies locking up bootloaders is something that affects every freakin Android user. So i'm pretty sure there were many people that didnt even plan on buying a prime signing that petition. The same way i have signed the HTC petition and will sign every single one about locking bootloaders of Android devices. Plus, i'm almost certain ASUS already planned it when the petition started.
Again it sucks buying and waiting for such a product and then having a faulty device. Happened to everyone once... But all you can do is, return it and hope for getting a working replacement. Buying another product, or waiting for the next Transformer model from ASUS.
And btw when i read TF700T will have no issues, all i can say is lol. Its like saying the world will end in 2012. Wait... Maybe the two things are linked in some higher plan we dont understand yet!!!??? I think i'm on to something here...

I agree. Most of the TF201 returns I heard about from customer service at my local Bestbuy were transactions that resulted in a full refund not exchange. Most people would return and move on to iPad 3, TF700t etc......
Do you really believe that after this mess of a release Asus is gonna release another defective product? I don't think so. I'm sure Asus's legal department/engineering is working together to provide a "Asus Inspiring Innovation Persistent Perfection" product with the release of the TF700t.
While I'm not quite as zealous as the OP, I do feel that ASUS needs to address the issues listed above. They undoubtedly knew there were pretty severe engineering issues with the prime before release if not, then quite soon thereafter. The weak wifi and nonexistent GPS are unquestionable. The other QA problems are more or less expected

Hey guys, so this is just a little video I put together about the history of the prime!
I have a feeling that it should settle most of the flame wars. The bottom line is, although it is the best tablet out, I can't recommend it because of the "lottery" quality control asus has.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVWjrbFwP0

Looking forward to part2
It's actually a very good and well done piece, IMHO.
It's good that this gets more mileage for Asus to really move its butt (not that they haven't, but they could do more).
You should have also mentioned the fact there still a lot of devices out there that exhibit none of the prevalent issues, as well as a lot of customers who are satisfied despite the issues (just to balance things a bit).
But, overall, as I've mentioned, it's a good piece.
Although it seems more than a few are wondering how Gary would feel about this Greg person you mentioned.

Ironically, someone else posted this before you did and it's up to three pages...

We don't have to always agree to get along. I know a lot more after participating in this forum than I did before. And what I learned wasn't always from people that shared my opinion.
how..?

Sorry dude. I was searching for recent Asus Prime video. I don't have 1 yet but getting 1 soon. I wanted to share what I found because your video is right on to the point. A lot of people were hipped about this tablet but once they become owners all you read now is negative.
Update your first post when Review 2 is up. I'm hoping for in-depth review.
I liked the video, was right to the point and informative. I learned a lot about the Tegra 3 that I didn't know before. (I kinda jumped into the Prime without doing much research)
I haven't really had any issues w/ my Prime. GPS is weak compared with my Xoom, but works good enough. Wifi is also right on par w/ the Xoom. Been rooted and overclocked since I got it, and really its only shutoff once. (during a file transfer, kind of annoying)
Overall, its the best Android tablet I've used. (I've used quite a few)
Nice video. When can we expect PART 2 (full review)? Will Part 3 include the mods for WiFi and GPS?
Enjoyed your video. I'm really looking forward to Part 2.
Keep up the good work....

lol hey man at least you shared it! thats what the interwebs are all about. im glad it got around so fast since its such a good vid. good job, dood
so I solid my Asus prime yesterday. it was a 64gb champagne. I didn't have any problems with it. the GPS worked we'll never tried it while I was driving, cause well I have a phone for that. I love how it felt in my hands, the weight, the balance. I miss my prime *waaa* I got full price for it. so I'm sitting on some money that's burning a hole in my pocket. lol.
!! senseless sensation4g ii
Congratulations and condolences I guess?
If you miss the Prime why did you sell it?
If you really miss it why don't you just buy another one?
I sold it cause I'm the guy buys electronics every time something new comes out. I bought a tf101 and as soon as the tf201 was available I bought. and I'm really fighting off the urge to by another one
!!senseless sensationii
just buy a 32g therefore you will still keep some money. You are going to be waiting awhile to purchase a better tablet than the prime for that price I believe this year
try finding a refurb 32gb?

Wanna buy mine? I do have to warn you, it is EXACTLY like all the others out there, the WIFI will drop if you use an active BT connection.
Getting tired of repeating this... No it's not EXACTLY like all the others... mine does NOT drop WIFI when I stream audio to my bluetooth connected headset..

Neither does mine.
I use Spotify, Netflix, and BBC iPlayer all the time with my BT headset.

The clairvoyance and omniscience of prime owners is astonishing if I do say so myself!
