Has anyone heard of the next release date or even where they are still shipping them from? I have been wanting one and I just curious if anyone has information on the subject.
Try this thread. I just saw it on Walmart.com in stock at 144.99 about 15-30 mins ago. Now its gone and out of stock of course.

Just tried to buy the dock from walmart.com and on the checkout page it showed as out of stock.
got mine yesterday - in the UK they had an offer that if you bought the dock early on you order the dock at the same price difference as in the bundle. So far no issues. Really loving it!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Probably a bunch of returned "Serial Number Unknown" units.

It might be the one i have boxed up and waiting for UPS to pick up and return to newegg.
Good price but huge risk with the specific issues this device seems to have.
even if the openbox one had flaws you should still be able to RMA right?
oh and ...
Other Features
G-Sensor, E-Compass, GPS, Light Sensor, and Gyroscope

Yup, who would want to return a perfectly working Prime? My main concerns with these new OB/NIB Primes are light leaks, dead pixels, weak wifi and bt. The message is clear, stay away!
Didn't see this earlier, but NewEgg page now states:
"Deactivated. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked"
Its already fact that there is no perfectly working Prime so when you buy it open box you already know your getting GPS signal issue and reduced Wifi range by design.
Buying new you get those same flaws and also risk brick on update, serial number issue, backlight bleed, etc. All three of ours and my neighbors had backlight bleed.
As long as the warranty / return policy covers you and you stand to save over $100 then its really worth the risk your already taking on a new one. Its just more likely the open box was returned for one of those reasons.
this is bull****, I had the dock on pre order with BB and then Newegg sent me a message saying it was available. And like an idiot I cancelled my order with BB and clicked on add to cart with Newegg and what do I get? A damn deactivated sign!
I reordered it with BB, there is no way this thing is deactivated. Or we would all get a notice saying return to vendor. In which I would be even more pissed off!
How can a device so in demand be so hard to deal with?
All of the models on Newegg, even those NIB, have been deactivated.

You should REALLY be pissed that they didn't issue a recall sooner. That would mean they don't care.
I'm hoping that that's where this is going. A recall would certainly save my order.

Amethyst, Champagne, 32, or 64gb
Local Gamestop & Staples seem to be getting them in stock no problem every few days. Just have to be on the ball and give a quick online store check and put one on hold once a day. I have gotten lucky a few times no prob.
I just hate waiting although some don't mind. I returned one at Staples at 8am this morning due to HDMI out not working. They were out and so were other locations. They said that Staples.com had 48 in stock and they would ship me one by Monday.
Couldn't wait did a store check at Gamestop.com. Said low stock so i reserved one. And got a email that my Prime is ready for pick up .
Gonna go get it soon. ALTHOUGH...... We have only gotten Gray locally, i would really love a Champagne. But i already have the Gray dock

I have the Amethyst dock too and the Champaign Prime looks fantastic in it. I love the two tone look, it just works!
I wonder what serial numbers they will be, and I wonder if the bluetooth/Wi-Fi issues will be fixed.
I just received my replacement 32GB champayne from Amazon and it's C10KAS sku..
I haven't had a chance to do much with it yet, but when I get a chance I'll test to see if it still has the bluetooth + wifi fallout issue that my previous one did. I -did- test GPS already though, and like the one I returned to Amazon this one doesn't pick up any satellites at all Lol and the reference to GPS is nowhere to be found on the box this time around, unlike the last box.
Otherwise, the screen on this new one is much better, no dead pixels that I can see and only a very very small amount of backlight bleed in one corner; previous one had very visible bleeding in each of the 4 corners.
Hoping wifi performance is better on this one at the very least.

Its not on the box but it is on amazon's specs:
Product Description
10.1" WXGA (1280x800) (LED Capacitive)/NVIDIA Tegra 3/1GB DDR2 RAM/32GB Flash Memory/Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)/802.11BGN/1.2MP Front Camera/8.0MP Rear Camera/Bluetooth 2.1/Up to 12 hours battery/G-Sensor/E-Compass/GPS/Light Sensor/Gyroscope/1YR North American Warranty
So you could probably still complain if you wanted to.
Just bought my Prime this week after months of being sold out at Best Buy. I am very very into having a near perfect device. Ive returned my incredible 2 about 8 times until I got one that didn't have light leak on the capacitive buttons. Ive returned 5 rezounds until I got one with red capacitive buttons not pink and didn't overheat.
I may be called crazy but I like my expensive devices free of defects.
Got my Prime expecting to get a defective one with issues listed here on XDA. This thing is flawless. I dont know if they solved their quality control issues or I just got lucky but I'm very happy. Also, GPS locks instantly and works great

Dude, screw the GPS. Do speed test 10 times and get the average. Then, play some music files (locally) listening to them via bluetooth headset then do that speed test again and get back to us on how flawless it is. Trust me, I've had three myself all with the same issue. I don't believe anything is "fixed".

I just placed an order. Since mine is going back for RMA, I have a feeling I'll be missing it so I need something and what better way then to try Amazon. I made sure of their return policy. Can't beat 30 days. And I DO NOT expect a fully working wifi/BT card either. There is no way Asus "fixed" anything in something that Amazon just received. My guess (even if there is a fix) Asus won't have it ready until late March. Yep, takes a long time to get something changed into production.
Dock prices are still ripoff though... Ugh.

$149.99 seems like an ok deal to me. Bought mine on Newegg back in January.
I got one locally for $143 new. Odd but hey...

I purchased mine yesterday from TigerDirect for $599 and it was shipped the same day. Hopefully when it comes i wont have too many issues as far as WiFi goes, don't care about Bluetooth and GPS as much as i do WiFi.
If you cant find one just go to nowinstock.net and sign up and it will tell you know as soon as it becomes available and at what stores, you can also sign up to receive email alerts as soon as it becomes available.
As of this morning dock is sold out across the board.. The only Prime at Amazon is the 64GB champange, and even that is listed as 'in stock March 6th'.
Looks like BestBuy still has the 32GB grey, and TigerDirect has 64GB grey.

Well, was hoping to get 3 Year SquareTrade warranty by buying from Amazon. I think I'm gonna buy elsewhere...
dock and tablet sold out online, according to NIS..
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/transformerprime/
of course I'm sure you can get lucky locally if you look hard enough.
Amazingly enough the Prime I bought from Walmart online the other day is working like it is supposed to be working. I've actually used my Bluetooth connection listening to music streaming down from Google Music and performed a speed test and still was about 20+Mbps speed using speed test. ALL the other units I had wouldn't even get 5Mbps. This is like the 3rd or 4th Prime I had. I can't even remember. And for those GPS people out there I was able to get GPS signal on a %100 humidity day in about 10 seconds. I have no idea what was done, but I'm not letting this one go. I've already sent all my Asus contacts a message asking if they can keep my RMA unit and just refund me the retail price of what I paid for it and to let me keep what I have.
Also the buttons seem easier to press. Like the power button. It has a more tactile feel then all the other ones I had. Along with the volume rocker.
My serial number starts with C20KAS......
FINALLY I'm done with all this BS, only until I get a refund from Asus hopefully. If they don't actually give me a refund I'll have to see what I'll do. I certainly don't want to be the owner of two Prime tablets, equaling over $1000 in price. Ouch!
I think you just got a good one.
I've had my prime since launch, got it from Best Buy, and i've never had one issue with it. GPS, WiFi, BT, and everything else works flawlessly. I do maybe have a "weaker" signal according to the bars on the screen, but I've never dropped a connection or had ANY speed issues.
Love my prime.
Cool story bro
This sounds like you think the tablet would be subpar because it was at a Walmart...

Good to hear! Asus must be getting its groove on. They must be working out the problems. The prime is one sweet tablet. I have my modded one still working. (for mobile applications... using in one of my vehicles.) But, I want a prime for couch / bedside surf! Walmart is cool about returns too. So If i order online I can easily exchange it a few time.... until i get what i want.

Not condoning what you said about stickers swap but it would go back to Asus anyways. It's not going to be put back out for sale when you tell them it don't work right. Walmart would just send it back to Asus, its policy. I tried to get an HP Touchpad someone was taking back a while back during the fire sale they wouldn't let me get it said policy says they have to send back to manufacture once opened.

Absolutely. Just do the right thing and be honest. He still has to look at himself in the mirror. And if committing this type of act doesn't bother the person, he has a bigger problem than we can help him with here.

I'm all for being honest and legit, but if a lot of us are being bent over and screwed by a corporate monster we can never win with what are we supposed to do? Just sit back and let them do whatever they want? We need to stand up for ourselves.
If we aren't getting the appropriate satisfaction or expected support I really would love to know what to do that would give us our satisfaction within our return time policy time? After that return period is over, we are pretty much stuck with what we have.
I already asked Asus very kindly and eagerly if they would keep my RMA unit and just refund me my money because I purchased another prime that is working better turned me down instantly with no regard to my problem. I was backed into a corner like a caged animal with very LIMITED options. Since money doesn't grow on trees for me I'm at a loss on what to do or where to go. Asus doesn't respond to my emails anymore and these "updates" can't fix dead pixels either. I hope people understand where I'm coming from.
Wow! That's messed up. Have you tried explaining your situation to Gary?

I would recommend boycotting Huawei. Even if you get it fixed, there is a 100% guarantee that the phone will fail at some point with bootloop issue (usually within 2, years of manufacturing date).

Sorry to hear, I cracked my Nexus 6 and sent it to Moto for warranty and when I got the replacement, wireless charging didn't work. I ended up keeping it and down the road, after cracking the screen I decided I'd try and call Moto & do it again but when I called they said the warranty had just ended and I would have to pay full price for their or another phone. If I could go it again I would have sent it right back. I had three of the Nexus 6's not including the warranty exchange. Nice phone & wish I still had.
**UPDATE** Got my 3rd 6P today, so far so good, fingerprint works, camera works, calling works. When I get home, I will unlock the bootloader, but other than that, I'm not sure if I want to root or not.
OP. I bought a second hand 6p and I am about to swap the battery and do a black body swap. A brand new unopened dbrand came with the phone I got. I’m not gonna use it so if you want it it’s yours just pm me your info. It’s the white marble back setup. I’m not into bumpers so I can throw in the rhino shield too if you want.lmk
