So I ordered a transformer prime yesterday for $440. Has anyone found a cheaper deal? I got mine from expansys after coupon codes and stuff.

I would just like to say I LOVE YOU!!!! I'm one of those people who was trying to get information from everyone and trying to preorder this thing everywhere and you just answered my call. Tank god for my lack of ever sleeping and spending way to much time reading way to many threads on XDA. You my friend have reached Hero status to the max
Can I get these codes too?
I would like these code too please.
i will take the codes too . someone please pm with the instructions.. the ones i find online re a no go
If we're sharing codes...I'll take my chances. I'd appreciate a PM with that same info.
Thanks!
Please Pm me those codes as well, thank you
Or, if you have a Discover card they're giving 10% cashback for purchases on BB.com that's $50 right there plus another $10 in reward points BB gift cards.
Could I get a pm with the code?

just PMed everyone who wanted info. Best buy deal seems good also, but tax is charged, and I dont have a discover card
Hrmm... I'm starting to doubt whether expansys will fulfill all these preorders. I pre-ordered mine 5 days ago and I'm sure it was up before that as well. It seems that they are the only site taking pre-orders so they must be getting a ton of requests. I don't think they are a big partner with Asus so they can't be getting enough shipments to fulfill these orders. (not unless you're willing to wait till January)
And, they are still taking pre-orders!
Math doesn't seem right. (especially when sites like Amazon and Newegg sold out so quickly)
Plus, I'm sure a lot more people are ordering just to take advantage of the discounts.
Something seems off...

Yea seems a little off, however, during the HP touchpad firesale they pulled through. They oversold but fulfilled orders. Im hoping they learned from that fiasco and wont oversell stock they dont have. I never heard of expansys till recently, so maybe people in the US dont shop much there.
I checked my order status and its still not updated. Crossing my fingers...

They still cut off a lot of orders with the TouchPad(I remember getting the email but I was one of the few that made it though).
And with HP, it's their product. They started up production again to fulfill some extra orders. (can't do that here)
Oh well... nothing more can be done... It's a bit sad because the original transformer also had stocking issues. I thought Asus and the retailers would've coordinated a bit better this time but it doesn't seem that way. They can't really say that they didn't expect the demand when they experienced the same rush last time. I'm still not even sure when the "actual" release date is!

They did coordinate better. Problem is that Prime has been even more popular than they estimated.
can I get the codes as well ?
thank you
can anybody share the codes that they received please.
codes please, thanks!
Today many would receive from amazon.com because he receives can post their first impressions of wifi gps screen with etc.???
got 32 gray last week.
Wifi strength is tremendous... no issue whatsoever.
GPS take some time but thats not really an issue or something I have ever used
no light leak
single busted pixel but its hard to see
awesome battery life.
super thin
took back my Galaxy Tab next day. its WAY faster even with just 3.2
I don't understand the point of this thread. Many of us have been using Amazon delivered Primes since day 1. I got in on the first batch of Primes and mine is from Amazon. But how is an Amazon purchased Prime suppose to be different from Gamestop or Best Buy or Staples or whatever? And, I am about to get a second Prime from Amazon today for my chick. But again, what's it matter if it is from Amazon?

I really like the tab, but mine rebooted constantly after ice. I planed to order a new one but I can't find them at all and several sites seem tohave them tagged as a prodect that is not being restocked. Has anyone seen one for sale from a store in the last 24 - 48 hours

Hurry as this is gonna sell out quick. Prime for $399 at hhgregg

Ordered mine from Office Depot yesterday. Called to verify (1/12 4:45pm est) they truly had some in and was told at that time they had 37 in the warehouse. However, she could not tell me a color, lol. No matter where she went on her computer it wasn't listed. It made me nervous as I already have the Dock sitting here until I checked "Product Details" and it is model TF201-B-GR. I feel better. Not 100% but at lest 85% I'm getting the correct color. Order shipped and I should have it Tuesday.
Too new here to post links but go to Officedepot and search item number 906853 (Still in stock atm.)
I was lucky to find it as NowInStock.net still has it listed as PreOrder.

There are some FRYs Electronics stores that have few of them in stock in the back room. You can have an employee look up the SKU and they should be able to tell you whether they *actually* have them in stock there.
Went to Fry's today just picked up the dock in stock! Fry's in Downers Grove IL.
i'm assuming it was grey?

ditto/bump
yes grey was the only color available
Thanks for this, just purchased for in-store pickup. Will grab tomorrow. Now I am just waiting for my prime from hhgregg.
Was in Frys, Sunnyvale last night and they had a stack of about 10 grey docks in the tablet accessory aisle.
Yet there are none in Texas. Darn.
really tired of Asus and the fact that there are no champagne docks.... might just get a grey one since I'll get a skin for it anyways
That is exactly why I bought the Amethyst Gray version.

im considering doing the same thing, or leaving it as a champagne/grey hybrid "laptop" combo, just to mess around with my friends' minds.

Forgive me if I missed it, as I ordered the champagne one for my wife on Nov 22 and am still waiting. Is there a problem with the availability of champagne docs?
They problem is that they don't seem to exist. It's been a month since release and still haven't seen a champagne dock.
Sooooo what would I have to do to get someone to ship me one of these? No fry's in my area
Already have a champagne gold, but here you go:

With all the issues, bad press, RMAs, etc. maybe it's been temporarily pulled by retailers to reassess their return policy for the Prime?
Is there any evidence that the [newer?] Champagne models perform better than the [older?] Grays?
Not many people have the Champagne Models. They are very hard to find it appears. So I dont know of very many impressions of it.

I have the 32gb Champagne. I haven't done exhaustive tests. GPS is weaker than my Atrix, but it will lock outside. Wifi seems similar to my phone's. ICS and firmware updates seemed to help.
Local store availability numbers are not that accurate.
Just spoke to my corporate rep and he said online they are sold out. He said their quantity on hand is -3 right now. Just FYI.

I too live in Texas, have an Atrix, and was lucky enough to find a Champagne 32gb. Hmmm...
For what its worth. I also have the Champagne 32GB version . GPS performs poorly (wont lock on indoors, does ok outside) but that seems consistent with what I've seen reported from people with the gray version. WIFI is adequate, not quite as good as my Galaxy Nexus but not bad either.
The only real issue I have is with the stock browser. It freezes quite often. However, I doubt this issue is related to the version I have. probably a software issue or app conflict.
Edit: I got mine end of December from amazon.
I would be careful ordering from them, I ordered one the last time they had some in stock and as soon as they charged my account it was magically on back order and to make matters worse they charged me twice for one TP.

Champagne is being released on the 24th... That seems to be why they are so limited right now right? I just pre ordered my champagne from gamestop in hopes that since they arent released that they will be fixed for issues.

This isn't true, a local electronic retailer (which some people on XDA know of) ABT has had a stock of champagne in stock. I was at their store last week and played with it.
Ironically enough, ICS locked up and rebooted while browsing the web lol.
Had two champagne 32gb, both had problems. IMO, doesn't matter with what color you get.
cancelled my gray 32gb microcenter order for this as it hadn't shipped out yet. Got overnight shipping on this and i confirmed 2 minutes ago on the phone that it's shipping out tonight. I can post on here again tomorrow night after I get it if you guys want.
It's on preorder now but when I saw that I had to call to confirm. Hopefully I don't have any issues or double charges on my credit card as a result!
SUPER PSYCHED!
Scratch that juat cancelled the order at gamestop. Seems like they wanted me to fax my personal bank information to them to verify something....hmm not going for that not to sure what there plan was...instead i think i will wait to get it. Too many issues for the amount of money. Think that may be best anyone?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I actually ordered earlier today and called to confirm that they do have it and will be shipping it today! The rep I spoke with talked about the nightmare that is the Prime and how this has been going on non-stop.
It just came back as In-Stock, so I would grab one if you haven't yet!
SON OF A *****!!!! I just want my 64 GB Amazon pre-order from 11/22!!!
