I just got a call from radio shack confirming that I was still on for the 24th. So this means that they must be getting in their shipments. I was told that I could come in at 8am on friday to pick up. They usually open at 9am so they must be doing pre-orders before they open. not sure on that. But anyway.
on a side note:
I went to my local sprint store today and the CS there had a evo 3d to play with. I am very excited for this phones arrival. I think the the camera quality is good. Its not any worse than the evo 4g, I have to wait til fri to go in depth with it but I feel 100% positive about using my upgrade for this phone. Also when in portrait the parallax barrier has no effect on the screen, being, I could not detect it even being there. In landscape I had the same result.
radio shack already has them in
I went to my local radio shack yesterday. The manager just happens to be my friend because I rooted his and his wife's phones. But anyways he showed me the phone and I was able to look at one and hold it. Unfortunately they sku isn't in there system yet so he couldn't sell it to me yet but he will contact me as soon as he can if it's before Friday. Ill keep you radioshakers posted as soon as I know. But they are definitely there already.
yeah i just got confirmation my local RS has 15 of them and all the cases and screen protecters. mine got them into about a hour ago
Called my RS earlier and spoke to the manager. They're not opening early but he said since I was first on the list, to come by 15min before opening...so 9:45 for me. I wish the HTC kickstand case was out for Friday but it looks like we won't see it til July
Picking mine up on Friday from RS too! Gonna be the best lunch break I've ever had from work.

Hell yeah, I unfortunately have to work also, but not till 3pm. Then I have sat sun off to play with the beast! It will be hard not to get yelled at for playing with my phone to much on friday. The only reason ill get yelled at will be because they are jealous Iphone sheep, that dont like other ppls phone to be better.
Dude! Radioshack called me yesterday to set up an appointment.
The guy who called me told me he contacted Sprint for me and got my upgrade pushed forward (originally not till Sep. 1st), so I get my 3D for 100$ after turning in my old Evo. I was looking to spend around $500. Bonus!
Radioshack (or at least this employee) just made my experience with them sweeter than I could imagine. Definitely tipping this dude $40 +.
Can't wait till Friday, thanks Radioshack!
Well I called the Radio Shack here in Miami and they are opening at 6 in the morning . I wonder why tho. I'm guessing a lot of people Pre-Order it . He told me I wouldn't be getting a phone . Lol that got me scared . He told me only people that Pre-Order it will be getting one . I told him I was the second person who did pre-order . I'm be there at 5:30 in the morning . Can't wait .

If you can upgrade on Friday, go to Sprint cause they give $150 trade in plus you get to keep ur SD card and cables.

After the Radio shack guy did the work to get him his upgrade early you're going to tell him to screw the poor guy out of his commission?
The rs hear called too. Offered to ask her boss to open early just so I could pick up my phone! hah.
Got mine today in the mail and LOVE IT...!!!!!!
Giving up my spot and keeping the Evo.
Edit: You know... just called and found that there's no risk for giving it a try for 30 days, so I just might do that. Hmm. Decisions.

Hmmmm, thanks for the info! Sprint told me $100, then they told me they weren't accepting any old Evos. I don't know if anyone working there knows whats going on, so I swayed away from them. And, I already bought a no refundable gift card from RadioShack, so I might as well use it I guess.
Thanks though

yeah, I sold my OG evo already but I have my gingerbread hero to fall back on!
I've been checking my email every 5 mins to see if my phone has shipped yet. Just can't wait to get it, hoping for Weds. Especially since they've sold out of them. Anyways, to try and gauge how AT&T is doing on the processing how about every one post the time they ordered, what shipping method they ordered and update their posts once it has shipped? I'll go first.
Time: 0012
Shipping: 2day
Ordered mine on Sat at 1130 am. Called yesterday because I forgot my order number and found out the retards didn't submit my porting request for my phone number, so the order is now technically submitted on Sunday. No telling if it's now on backorder or not. However, the guy I was working with swears it wouldn't be as he checked on it.
If you purchased the phone through device upgrade, you can check the status by loging in to you at&t account. The link is on the right hand side of the "check eligibility" page. Not sure how the info will displayed for new customer.
You will have all the details about the content in the shipment, tracking number etc.

Called "Premier" service. After the initial "we don't know", I asked a few other questions and got "I do apologize" about eight times. I started to ask about unlimited texting and requirements for discounts, etc., the lady just couldn't change gears away from the order. The thing that really baffles me is that the store next door to my office has a Titan. I can't just show them my order number and pick it up.
Whatever. It was a $.01. Just disappointed to not even have an eta. I want to sell the wife's iPhone, blow out my focus and set it up for her. I'm going to be busy this weekend, so even if I get the phone, I may have to wait another few days.
Ordered as an upgrade on 11/26. Shipped on 11/28.

Just got an email from AT&T stating the item is backordered. They'll notify me when they ship it or if more than 30 days, cancel the order.
Titan is here and its HUGE compared to my Radar that is...

I never got a shipment notification. Logged into my AT&T account and looked at the "order status" page to get shipment date and tracking number.
Should be wednesday
Was playing Battlefield 3 Friday night and almost forgot about the sale. So at 2am I got on Premier and ordered a second line for a penney on a 1 year contract I am in Plano, TX area and phone is coming from Ft Worth. They should have sent it today but it was free two business days so will be tomorrow.
Will give Focus to friend and put my old Razr on the new number so I can remove the data plan. So basically 10 a month for one year. Nice they even credited the penny.

Lucky! I was ready to order at about 11:30pm ET on Friday night (the sale went live a little early, I guess) but I went through checkout about 5 times and it never would apply the instant rebate, even when I tried a few times an hour until after midnight MT. I had no desire to pay the $300+ and then try to get a refund from AT&T later.
I also have Premier, so I called in to "business care" in the wee hours of Saturday morning, but they couldn't access promotions so told me to call Premier SALES (separate department), which is only open M-F. I told them the sale was only good on Saturday, so they said they put a note on my account to guarantee that Premier would honor the deal on Monday.
Didn't want to take that gamble either, so I called "regular" sales when they opened on Saturday (which turned out to be 8am MT). I ordered the Titan, they honored the penny deal, and said NOTHING about being sold out or backordered yet. That said, I STILL have not received my shipping confirmation email, and checking my order on the website says that it's processing, not backordered, but not shipped.
Wednesday would be a welcome surprise, but I'm not expecting it and I've been using this Samsung Solstice for 2 months now since I accidentally "laundered" my Focus, so I suppose I can eke my way through a few more days.
UPDATE: Shipped, baby!

So I ordered over the phone around 8am MT on Saturday, and received my "shipped" notification late Monday. Guess I got in before the backorders started!
I'll say this, though: the USPS tracking doesn't update NEARLY fast enough.
UPDATE: OUT. FOR. DELIVERY. Concentrating on work this afternoon is going to be tough!
I ordered mine over the phone Saturday and got it today. Expected date was tomorrow, but it got here a day early... And it is huge compared to my Radar and even my HD7. It's big next to my RAZR, too... I love it. Can't wait to get some custom ROMs to add more colors to the themes!
Just called, went through hoops to find out the status. The rep said my two orders are on backorder. That sucks. She doesn't have any idea when they will get more.

Just got mine. Took forever to install all my apps.
It's now the 8th of December. I am curious to everybody who had a pre-order from best buy, does yours still say 12/18/2011 sa the release date and also, does it say "in process"?
Have any of you spoken with Best Buy in the last day or so? I spoke to someone on Monday night and they said as far as they can tell, I am good to go.

Ditto, hopefully we won't get screwed again!
Ordered Dec 2 after Amazon cancelled my order. Best Buy still shows 12/18/2011.
posted this in the other thread:
i just found out today that the place a "hold" on your debit card every 8 days, despite what the email says about not being charged until the item shipped.
I ordered on 11/25 and was charged $531 twice since then. Caused a bunch of stuff to bounce and caused me to be charged over 200 bucks in overdraft fees. If I'd have known this was going to happen, I could've moved some money around to cover. My fault for not checking, I guess, but I was some pissed.
When I called the other day (the 2nd time I was charged), she said it was because it was in the warehouse and shipping was imminent. When that charge was removed (like the first one; this is when I found out they do it every 8 days) I called back. Today, the supervisor I spoke with said I should just cancel my order, as the SKU is no longer in the system and orders will be canceled. I told her not to touch it, as I wasn't trusting anything anyone was telling me.
I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing, but can't cancel b/c this is what the old lady wants for Xmas. We'll see, I guess.
p.s., I ordered the champagne one.

Bought mine on the 26th and I have the same "In Progress" and 12-18-2011 date.
Ordered on 11/3 and still shows 12/18 in process.
My temp charge was removed today and BB CSR told me they have no information on availability, other than the stated 12/18/11 release date.
Mine says same ...
Order date 12/4, Release 12/18 (that's different from ship date), champagne tablet only.
try searching the sku for the champagne one on BB website. It's gone. silver one is there still (i think).

The supervisor said that, huh? I think I'll call again just to see if I can get anymore information.
Ordered 32g Grey on 11/28 and still showing "In-Process" with a release date of 12/18.
When I called Best Buy a couple of days ago, they said that I should expect mine to be shipped so that I have it by 12/18 (not sure how they would do that since 12/18 is a Sunday). Here's hoping that I have it on 12/16 or 12/19 at worst. I also paid for next day shipping.
Ordered 32GB champagne and dock on 12/1. Mine still says 12/18 for TFP and 12/31 for dock.
Mine is the same, ordered a 32gb Champagne 11-29. My dock ordered the same time shows 12-31.
Ordered on 12/2, still shows release date of 12/18. (edit: it's for a 32gig gray model)
I also PMed a member of these forums who works for BB and he looked up my order number and said it lists the "fulfillment date" of 12/13 which he took to mean it should be in my hands on that day (although I'm taking it to mean they'll ship on 12/13)... so we'll see. I at least feel confident that it won't be cancelled.

Yeah, he told me the same thing. I wonder how he is getting his info. compared to a rep. you call?
Best Buy is making me crazy (and poor)
I got beat at Amazon with a Prime IN MY CART on the 23rd. I let it sit for an hour, knowing my debit card might take the full hit if I hit "Purchase" When I finally hit the button, it was too late. Went from "Pre-order" to "We will email you" Best thing ever happened to me. 1st: My Prime was a 32 gb Amethyst Grey: same model that was on all those cancellations. Who know if I would have got hit. AND: I complained in a series of escalating emails, and got: $100 credit toward anything Amazon sells and ships instead of the $20-30 most folks got. HA!
Went to BestBuy, next biggest retailer, right after the pre-order link went back up (was down on December 1st for half a day- said "Not Available" Pulled the trigger Dec 2nd - Tablet only (figured I'd get Dock at Amazon when stock came back, using my credit. When BB debited my account in 15 seconds (I had my bank account open in another tab) I panicked and canceled the order. Then freaked again, when I realized the pre-orders were limited (and they were) so I called "The credit will show up in 24-48 hours" I was told, so I placed a SECOND Order. Guess what: Both debits are still on my account. My bank said 3 days from when credit is issued. Well, BB must be holding back - it's 7 days now, and I am out $1130 - no credit for the canceled order (though it shows that way on BB site.
As for my valid order: same as everyone:
"In Process"
"Order Status: 1 item(s) preordered, release date is 12/18/11"
I have called: 3 times, and gotten 3 different answers: We are getting them on the 18th, should ship out soon after that"
"We are getting them on the 19th"
"We are getting them on the 16th, and should start shipping same day.
All supposedly read right off the BB system....
Oh, and if they tell you your order is "Verified"? That means the MONEY is verified, and BB knows they have you money, all set, no problemo, we are getting PAID, by you, so we are all set! oh... you want to know about YOU? Shipping? Stock? Release? Policies? (We have policies galore, in fact, we come up with new variations all day long!)
I just want the damn thing, and if they ship on 18th or within a day or two, cool.. (19th is a Sunday folks, so even if they package on 19th, nothing is going out that day) Oh... and Mr. BestBuy sir... where is my $#@& CREDIT!!!!?????
PS: I ordered a dock from GameStop of all places, as they were the only place left today that had a dock with an actual release date: Frys:"Unknown" J&R: "Unknown" Gamestop: December 13th ! Whee, I can type on it and pretend I have a tablet (my TF101 is gone, shipped back for refund)
Only issue: Freaking Gamestop will NOT state the freaking COLOR of the freaking DOCK!!!
Thank you for contacting GameStop.com.
We apologize however we cannot determine the color or design preference on this item as all of the colors and variations are under the same Sku.
If there is a specific color you would like to purchase, please visit one of our local stores for further assistance regarding this purchase.
Please be aware if you do not receive the color that you would prefer, you may also exchange this at a store level.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to respond to this email.
Even though the combined Pre-Order Thread here shows it as a GREY dock. sigh. Don't think I will be getting too much envy at work with a 2 tone, freaky looking mismatched TF Prime in Amethyst-Champagne GoldGrey
Ordered mine last night and will be here tomorrow! Get it while its Hot! Free 1 day shipping folks!

** Hope you read in the forum about how you have to charge it first before it will actually turn on, if you received it DOA. My 2nd Prime was dead when I received it. I charged it for 2 hours then it finally turned on.**
No choice. I live in Eugene, Oregon. There is no prime in sight. Closes one is in Salem. Then Portland. I'm not that desperate. This will be my 3rd Prime though. Hopefully this will be the last. The first one I got from GS. It had little bleeding but that was about it (Kind of wished I had kept it). Second Prime had more issues with dead pixels, more light bleed and your on going wifi/BT issues. I really hope I'm done with it this time around. Please let this be the money shot!!!
Otherwise love the Prime

Waiting is all fine and well. But man I do not like the waiting game. Especially when there is something like this out now! Prime will be just fine for me. It does more then what I will use it for. It may have it's issues (just like any tablet you will come across in its infancy), but it's all being worked on and Asus is a great company.
You can wait but be prepared for issues as well when you do get that future tablet. While I will be enjoying my Prime time.
I ordered my prime from office depot on the 19th. They were the only retailer who had it in stock, online or otherwise. At the time they were offering free 3 day shipping and during the checkout said I would have it by the 23rd. Once it was finally shipped on the 21st, UPS said I would not have delivery until the 26th. Which was Ok but not really acceptable. By the 25th there had been no movement with UPS tracking for 4 days. I called UPS and asked them if this was normal and they said no, that the package is scanned at least every 24 hours. They told me to call Office Depot and they would need to initiate a trace on the package.
I called office depot and they said they would escalate my concern and I would hear something by the end of the day. In the mean time I got a notice from nowinstock.net that BestBuy had them in stock and I checked their website and my local store even had them on hand. While doing this I received an email from Office Depot regarding my package that was essentially lost:
Your order is scheduled for delivery 1/26 with UPS.

Since they failed to address my issue at all, I canceled my order and drove to Best Buy and bought my Prime. Love it. No issues that anyone else has reported at all. (Shadowgun THD is awesome).
Fair warning to anyone thinking about ordering from Office Depot. Their logistics seem off.

I ordered my prime from office depot on the 19th. They were the only retailer who had it in stock, online or otherwise. At the time they were offering free 3 day shipping and during the checkout said I would have it by the 23rd. Once it was finally shipped on the 21st, UPS said I would not have delivery until the 26th. Which was Ok but not really acceptable. By the 25th there had been no movement with UPS tracking for 4 days. I called UPS and asked them if this was normal and they said no, that the package is scanned at least every 24 hours. They told me to call Office Depot and they would need to initiate a trace on the package.
I called office depot and they said they would escalate my concern and I would hear something by the end of the day. In the mean time I got a notice from nowinstock.net that BestBuy had them in stock and I checked their website and my local store even had them on hand. While doing this I received an email from Office Depot regarding my package that was essentially lost:
Your order is scheduled for delivery 1/26 with UPS.

Sorry you had issues with the whole delivery thing. That really sucks.
My experience so far with OD is a positive one. I've already ordered from them online with my 2nd Prime and arrived as schedualed. This latest one is arriving today....
Glad your enjoying your Prime
I think it helps you that you are so close to the warehouse they were shipping from. But in the end, I got what I wanted. Just wish it would not have been such a big ordeal.
Yay just received mine No bright spots like the previous. So far no issues. Updating now. Didn't get the C1 serial # though. Still BC.
I got mine too, its perfect.
Wifi works great (On par with with my galaxy nexus)
and GPS has no issues
Hello,
My friend has received the one he ordered for me from officedepot on the 1/02/2012; but I don't have the S/N yet...
has anyone received a C1 SN from Office Depot yet?
Edit : I received the invoice from my friend this morning. The S/N is BCOKAS13xxxxx I hope it is a good serie....
Keep in mind Office Depot's notoriously bad return policy, especially with the poor qc from Asus on this product.

I received one from officedepot.com on Dec. 22 and returned it in early Jan due to the wifi,GPS, random reboot problems. If Asus ever gets it together I may try another.
Yesterday I saw two in stock at the local OD store, even though they didn't show online. I couldn't bring myself to try it again yet!

Ordered mine from Office Depot on Friday. Still shows processing under the order status. Despite checking daily, it seems the only brick and mortar store in all of MN that carry's the TFP is Microcenter (despite there being tons of BB's and BB having their massive headquarters here). Last time MicroCenter had them in stock they sold out in less than a half hour, so online is my only option. I hope I'm not making a huge mistake buying this as a Valentine's present for my GF and I, especially buying online.
It looks like Office Depot has a 14 day return policy. Hopefully that gives me enough time to determine if my unit needs to be swapped out. Considering I placed my order on the 3rd, that leaves only 11 days at this point (provided their return period begins when you place the order.) With shipping, I'll be lucky to have a week to determine if it's good to go. I got to play with a friends TFP, absolutely loved it, but damn does this purchase have me on edge. Especially with my horrible Asus history...
Here's to hoping my experience goes as smoothly as some of yours.
Frys now has the Note for $199 for new and upgrade customers. I just got mine yesterday. I called Best Buy and told them and they said just to go in and show them the ad with the price and they'll price match it. So for those that have waited, I think now is a good time to buy.

Nice, just bought my note last week.
Best buy has always been decent with matching prices

If you bought it within 30 days from ATT, call them and they will give you the difference of 100 buck credit on your next bill. Just did it. Make sure you say you were told that you can get it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm currently on the phone with them getting my account credited $100. At first, they suggested that I return the phone and then go get it at Frys, but after I asked to speak to a supervisor and I pointed out how ridiculous it was that they wanted to lose the total sale of the phone instead of just crediting me $100, they went ahead and credited the difference.
Don't be mean, but don't give in. Niceness goes a long way with CSRs. They have to deal with such typically crappy crap all day, every day.
I just came back from Best Buy. Got $100 back on the card I used. Was in and out in 10 minutes. No problems at all. Pretty stoked that I got the Note for $200.
I justed called AT&T and they said they couldn't match fry's price for note and new line. No luck with best buy either because they say store has to be in a 20 mile radius. So for now I'm still note less!
Looks like ill be going back in to BB to get money back! Got mine last week at $299
Biggest big dog there is, NOTE!

Yeah Best Buy policy is that the price match has to be within 25 miles.
Yay! I'm flying to SoCal on Monday.
I would love the $149.99 price, but this is good enough for me.
Thanks BabyJay!

Yeah. No problem . The $149.99 would have been awesome but I tried 3 different Best Buys and no luck. $199 is still a pretty darn good price for a phone that started at $300 a month or so ago.
Lovin' the Note so far...Barely got it yesterday. I came from owning a Dell Streak for over a year now and my goodness this phone just blows the Streak away. I don't think I'm going back to owning a "regular" sized phone any time soon.
Well crap I bought mine at fry's 3 days ago for $230. That was last weeks ad. You don't think they would match this weeks ad with last weeks do you?

You should try calling again. AT&T will do it. If the first person says they can't, ask to talk to their supervisor.
The Frys ad is for upgrades, too.

That's exactly what happened to me. I price matched last weeks ad that ended yesterday which was $230 and went back today to price match it again. And I just got the phone yesterday.
I just did the $239.00 price match at BB yesterday due to the Fry's ad. Now heading back to BB with the new Fry's ad to get price match to $199.00. I originally bought the Note from BB and had signed up for the BB offer a while back to get $50.00 credit if I bought a new phone from them. Now, my note only cost me $149.00. Not bad.

i just called att. they would not price match or credit me the $100. Rep said he talked to his boss and said that I would have to go and return the device and go to frys to do upgrade and this and that. I am going to try calling again tomorrow.
