So I see tons of posts discussing preorders of the 32 GB version, but nothing at all on the 64 GB version. Why is this? Is the 64 GB version vaporware like the 32 GB version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus?

Mine (amethyst) has been on pre order since the morning of the 22nd. Still says estimated delivery Tuesday Jan 10th from Amazon with prime shipping. A lot of people have been getting emails saying it wouldn't be shipping until Jan 25th to Feb 8th or so. There was a whole thread about the 64gb version but it hasn't been active in awhile. Anyone else still have a Jan 10th or earlier date from Amazon on one of these?
I don't have the link as it was a tweet last week or so, but I swear to you it said the 64GB versions would be available Q2 2012. I'm not sure if its true or not, but I would not be surprised.
Pretty sure that tweet was referring to the UK version of the tablet... But I could easily be wrong, Asus has been full of surprises during this roll-out.

Ah, perhaps you are right. I noticed it rather quickly as I ordered the 32GB version so I wasn't too concerned. Thanks for the clarification.

Still haven't gotten the email, still says Jan 10th when I check my order status. However there was a thread saying that some German online retailer had the 64GBs in stack and they had actual been received.
I saw an article that said spring 2012, so I switched my efforts to the 32GB.
Thanks for all of the info, guys. I really wanted the 64 GB version, but Q2 would be really annoying. I also have it on preorder at Amazon from a while ago. I'm thinking I'll give it until the January 10 date to see where they stand, and if it keeps getting delayed, I'll begrudgingly switch to the 32 GB model.
Yep, I hear you. I REALLY want a prime as well, however I think patience will pay off in this case. So far I haven't seen any articles that have been backed by any information from Asus about a delay in US shipments of the 64GB version, only the Europe/UK version. Do a quick google (can't post links, since XDA doesn't like me), and note that either all the articles are referring to a delay in Europe, or are referring to the same slashgear article that also talks only about the UK release, specifically to the distributor "Clove".
From my perspective only, I am more than willing to wait for the 64GB version, as I do intend to replace my current netbook with the Prime, and will definitely be using up the extra space (and perhaps future tinkering of integrating Windows 8 with the Prime). But that's just my 2 cents. Keep looking through google news for updates though, as I will be doing the same. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on this machine.
I have a delivery date of January 6th from Amazon. I've been contacting them through chat every few days to see if they have had any updates -- Nothing.
As of this morning, the Amazon CSR told me that they should be receiving their shipment in the next few days - and it looks like my delivery date of January 6th should still be on target...
I figure I'll give it until CES - when I'll be able to see what's to come later in the year. Seeing that, along with all of the negative reviews I'm reading of the Prime in pretty much every forum, may be enough to sway me to finally cancel my order and just wait it out for something more polished.
I just got a shipping notification on my 64gb amethyst grey prime. From tigerdirect.com Hope everyone else gets theirs soon! I'll let you know if its a 64gb that actually arrives.......::fingers crossed::
Ordered on 11/23

Who did you order this from???
B&H got some Amethyst Grey 64GB today, not many. Posted in the B&H thread here on xda.
This below is from transformerforums
"Henryp
Without divulging information I may not, I will say we received some 32GB units in both colors on Tue. We received some grey 64GB units and some grey docks earlier today (Wed). Each is being assigned to a current back order and they should all leave our warehouse today or tomorrow. PLEASE don't ask how many -- I will not say."

Fellow Canadians!
Other than best buy, futureshop and Staples, are there any other pre order sites?
I have a champagne transformer pre ordered from staples, as they were the only local retailer that had that color code for pre-order, however I noticed that they have pulled that sku from their website entirely. Not sure what that means but when I called Staples to find out they said that it was a possibility that only a certain number of that color code were available.
I did ask about estimated shipping and the rep had told me it is still slated of the week of Dec 12. So hopefully everything goes through without a hitch.
Has anyone else had this issue at all?
The only two other two places I know you can preorder is ncix.com and memoryexpress.com. Both of those places have the champagne version as well which is why I ordered mine from memory express.
I am just hoping mine gets in before the 21st because I ordered mine in calgary and won't be flying there until the 21st (figured I would save some taxes and not ruin my finals studying with a new toy!).
My last email from Best Buy Canada said the release date was Dec 5, but other than that, no word. I wonder if we are really getting it early here in Canada vs. the US.
Is it just me or are there NO 64gb pre-orders anywhere in Canada? Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, ect. No one has a 64gb up for pre-order! I'd rather pick it up than get it shipped, btw.

Memory express and NCIX have 64gig versions. Although the fact those other big guys don't have it doesn't leave me with confidence that those two will actually be getting them at the same time as the 32gig versions. I am even a bit scared my champagne unit will be late as well since its just those 2 that have it.
Memory Express had 64GB TFs available for preorder in both grey and gold, last time I checked.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Would have like to have ordered from Futureshop but they don't deliver in Quebec because of language laws so I ordered from NCIX. I ordered the original TF from them and got it the second week it came out. Another bonus is I only pay GST and shipping is fairly reasonable. I also ordered from Amazon.ca but I have a feeling I wont get it this month. I'll be canceling the other order once the first one comes in.
Sorry if this is already known but I just got a call from MemoryExpress in Edmonton, AB to change my pre-order because they claim to have received an e-mail from ASUS Canada stating that the only model available in Canada will be the 32GB Amethyst Gray. I asked for confirmation that that would mean NO 64GB and NO gold colour whatsoever and the sales associate said that is what the e-mail said. I asked about any release date info and they said the tablet would arrive in "the next couple weeks" but the dock would be "3-4 weeks away." Take that with a grain of salt though as I don't believe the release date info came directly from ASUS.

dang. I emailed them to ask about it and they emailed back saying they have some info and if I could call them which I figure is bad news. I had an order for champagne gold and mentioned in this thread how I was worried it wouldn't be coming. I gave them my number so we will see if they call me and what they say.
I just pre ordered mine from Amazon.ca says Dec 16th
Well memory express called and said that the only unit they will be getting in is the 32gig grey and the dock. Said that asus said they guess that the champagne gold version will be released sometime in February. Pretty disappointed as I was really starting to like the look of the gold! Ah well as long as they actually get them in around christmas!
Appreciated that they took the time to call me about the order though, the guy at memory express was nice and explained how pissed they were at asus.
I just did NCIX in Vancouver.. no date.. but better then Amazon.ca dating it AFTER jan 31st...
BestBuy Canada Release Date
BB Canada is showing my pre-order with a December 22nd release date.
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
In the GTA here... Online shows bestbuy, staples and even futureshop not having any stock!
First off I really would have liked to buy it in store instead of online. Do you think there is a chance that any store would have this available before Xmas (in store that is)?
"So what you want me do 'bout that?"
Yeah mine is all over the place too:
Shipment 1
Scheduled forGround Delivery
Estimated Arrival: 11/26-12/09/2011
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
Weird.. who knows.. I lost my amazon order so I just would like to get one. haha
Anyone know when it will be available in stores?
December or January stick with thos months and you will be fine
No 64GB... This just sucks. No wonder Best Buy wasn't getting back to me on when they'd be getting that model. REALLY disappointed.
My future shop order has changed from release date on the 5th of December to the 22nd of December today. Was anyone else able to choose any other shipping method other than regular old ground? doesn't look too promising to get it before christmas.
I have an order for the 64 GB Prime (Gray) at Amazon and have not received the cancellation notification yet.
However, just to be on the safe side, I also pre-ordered from J&R.
Well, just about 5 minutes ago, J&R called me and told me that the 64 GB (Gray) will not be shipped out until January 2012 due to Asus suspending the shipment.
How is it that I keep reading on here that Gamestop would have it available on December 19 ? Why is it that Asus suspend the Prime on some store and not on others? Strange.

This seems to be the same thing that happened to the Amazon preorders.
None of the "official" ASUS preorder sites took orders on the 64GB version... I'm wondering if I just shouldn't expect this until mid-January. No date in December for a 64GB version seem to be panning out...

Given that Gamestop is listed as an official preorder destination on Asus' website, and J&R is not, I don't find this all that surprising. There is almost certainly an extra middleman distributor supplying stores like J&R, Adorama, and some of the other sites folks have found to order one, but Asus' commitment is to their official preorder outlets, and making sure they have enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
I haven't received a call from J&R yet, but I figure I will. When did you order yours Earthbrain?
This seems to be the trend. Newegg still seems to be on track, as is gamestop. ASUS is funneling the supply into a more focused retail base, and seems to staying true to their main channel partners.
Certainly no doubt at this point that there is a huge shortage of this thing...what concerns me is that there was such a huge initial preorder allocation, and it isn't that they are running out of preorder slots, it's that the stock just isn't appearing in the supply chain...which in the industry usually means a manufacturing issue.
That is of course unless ASUS just grossly underestimated the demand.

Crap. I ordered mine on Sunday, and I got the 32GB flavor which you would think would be in even shorter supply. I guess I'll call them today.
So weird that it seems like my Gamestop preorder is going to be the one that holds up at this point.
I placed my order a while ago and got the "backordered" email, but that was explained to me that they must send it if the unit isn't available or a special pre-order. I was told it's still on target for the 15th as they hadn't received new info.

I'm not sure this forum and those placing pre-orders is a good indicator for demand. The technophiles here may only represent a tiny percentage of the population. I think we'll find out when they hit Amazon or Newegg if they remain in stock.

I'm skeptical of the huge demand as well. I live in a small twin city situation with about 200,000 people within 2 towns 20 miles apart. Between the two Gamestops in my area that sell tablets (there are 3 or 4 GS's per town) there have only been two preorders. Total. Me and one other guy. I will be interested to see the initial sales numbers on this device. I think overall, to the general public, Android tablets have a bad(cheap) name. At the GS in the town neighboring mine the manager said they are about to quit carrying tablets all together due to low demand.
Don't get me wrong though. I think this tablet should be creating some demand and likely will once more normal people see it. I have just not been convinced of it's huge preorder demand as of yet.

They don't really seem to know and in fact got their colors wrong on initial pre-orders. Anyway, they claim they are a big retailer and that's true so they expect first availability. I think it is encouraging that they were told a date by Asus for their in stock date.

When my order got canceled on amazon, same day as everyone and I ordered on the 22nd also, I came and order at JR that evening using google checkout. They still haven't called me saying they've canceled. Any chance I'm going to get a 32gb champagne gold? Should I call them and check the date? I don't have much faith in this order.
Yesterday, I put in a preorder at a gamestop location. They say that they are one of the location receiving the prime and I was the first one to preorder at that location. They said that they didn't have any in stock yesterday but expecting to arrive before 19th. I think they only have the 32gb grey. I'll settle for that if I have to. Would like to get what I wanted from JR to avoid tax also, but not getting a good feeling. I've got so many stuff canceled on me this holiday I'm getting pissed.
Any good news from anyone out there. You guys been told of the date that it will be available or something that's not canceled?
My guess is that the general public don't really know or care too much about this, it's not like an apple product or anything. Yet, I'm surprise that asus still fail to supply again.

Just to reiterate what others have said, I called J&R to verify my preorder today and was told that they wouldn't receive any units until sometime early next year. I originally pre-ordered on Sunday the 4th, but it sounds like they won't get any stock until the new year, no matter when you got your order in.
I had two separate preorders for tablet & dock, and cancelled them both.

If it's important to you, I would hedge my bets and get in the car. The guy I spoke with made it sound as if the Primes in general wouldn't show up until the new year, not that my Prime wouldn't show up until then.
Can't hurt to hang on to your preorder, but I don't think you should count on it at this point.
Are there any details about the shipping date for Germany / Austria / Middle Europe?
Amazon.de lists it as "not available at the moment", any other (reliable) pre ordering possibilities with dates?

they only have 64GB models available
strange that they have an availability for the 64gb model but actually not for the 32 incl. dock...
but it's a good sign anyway.
however they have really bad reputation @geizhals.at
Amazon.de has the 64gb gold for delivery in 1-2 months, the others are out of stock and will e-mail when available.

I can't confirm that - I've ordered a lot of stuff at Cyberport, and I'm really satisfied with their customer support.
Does anybody know if the 32gb model is available without the dock? I can't find it anywhere, not even on Geizhals.at or Amazon.
Here in Switzerland its early-mid January. 32gb+dock bundle or 64gb for the same prize are the offers. @digitec.ch
cyberport.de now lists all available models for 12th january
Notebooksbilliger.de shipped my 64GB gold
Hey,
Got an email today from notebooksbilliger.de. They shipped my TF Prime, a 64GB gold version, yesterday.
So I will get it by friday (today)!!!
I pre-ordered it 14th November.
I also pre-ordered the same model from amazon (de). But they say it won't be available before 19th January.
But as I will get it today from notebooksbilliger.de I will cancel the order as soon as I hold it my hands.
Still no update on the qwertz keyboard docking. Notebooksbilliger.de has never provided a possibility to pre-order it stand-alone, nor has cyberport.de. The only one who offers it is amazon (de) but they cannot tell when it will be available.
Got an update from amazon.de (32Gb incl. dock, grey, preordered on Nov 17th) about a hour ago.
Delivery on Jan 5th.

Prime shipping from Amazon Germany!
Hi all,
i just received the message that the TF Prime 32GB (+keyboard,grey) is shipping from Amazon Germany! It seems to be a small total shipment, on the product page there is still no availability shown, but i also read some posts on Facebook that some preorders are being shipped. Seems like the Amazon stock is quite limited... But for me its great news
Anyone else seeing shipments?
Screenshot: see below
Glad to hear another about new wave in Europe. The more new shipments the quicker they will release fixes

Amazon Germany page says "Available in 1 to 2 months" for the Prime 64 GB grey. There is no bundle with keyboard for the 64 GB version in Germany (afaik)...
But apparently the status doesnt mean too much considering my first post!
Mine (32GB incl. dock, grey, pre-ordered on Nov 17th) is on its way, too.
Estimated delivery is Jan 4th.
Finally!
Yeah, I have seen that, still hoping to get one...
It looks like cyberport will be selling bundle.
I have preordered the 32GB w/ dock version on 22nd of November and still have no mail of shipment or estimated date, but I saw in the comments of Amazon.de that some guys with preorder from 15-16th have already received theirs... I hope mine ships soon and without hardware defects.
Congrats to the lucky ones with the confirmation mail

In my experience, if you change something about your order (address or bank account), it seems to "update" your shipping status faster. My shipping status yesterday morning was "unknown". After i changed the shipping address & payment option, it immediately changed to "shipping soon" and is now on its way....
Maybe you should try that ;-)
Cyberport store in Vienna shows it as "in stock". Got mine there last week so I think it's credible. (Sry. can't post links yet, but look for tf201 @ cyberport.at/wien).

I'm confused. You're canceling your order because it is going to ship sooner?
I assume you bought it somewhere else, and no longer need your preorder on Amazon?
Ah, it seems as though if I use my southern California delivery address, the order would arrive on 12/30. If I use my address in New Jersey where I am now, the order would arrive on 1/3. This is regardless of having one-day shipping for both options. Different distribution centers?
I hurried and checked my email/amazon order status, lol. I order on Dec 20th, not with the pre-sale or previous 1st pre-order batch and my Previous estimated arrival date: January 25, 2012 - February 08, 2012 and still is showing estimated arrival date as the same, no change
Maybe because I ordered the 64gb grey, not the 32gb. But congrats! I'm praying I get the same email, for an earlier arrival date,
What about the dock?
As for the tab, I saved $1 with Newegg and it's coming on the 30th.
Looks like those of us who ordered the 64GB are screwed. I ordered on Dec. 13th from Amazon and still stuck at the original ETA.

Yep, ordered on 22 Nov, and am counting myself lucky to still have an 10 Jan ETA. Interesting strategy ASUS has to bone the folks who were willing to pay the premium for the step up.
I think Amazon got some more units, which is why people are getting these "Good news!" emails.
I predict as Amazon bumps up their supply, more people will start seeing "Good news!" emails. Hopefully though, with people canceling their Amazon pre-orders to get ones from BB, OD, Staples, DataVis, B&H, J&R, Newegg or TD, Amazon will be able to supply more units to those who have already pre-ordered.
I say that because Amazon hasn't been updating their web page to tell people they have more in stock like BB is doing with each new shipment.
I order a pair, one champagne and one black silver, both 32gb. Only got the good news email for the champagne order. Will be delivered by Dec 30 (which is tomorrow!!). No tax from Amazon. Good thing I waited. Yay.
When did you order them?

Right, and no official word from ASUS either. I think I'm close to canceling and waiting for the iPad 3 in late Feb. The mixed reviews around here don't help either, I was so hyped for this thing reading all of the official reviews.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone else ordered there's from Amazon, the 64gb Champagne and still hasn't received it yet. I ordered it on December 20th.

In the same boat as you. Ordered 12/26, Grey 64GB from amazon.com. Currently don't even have an estimated date of arrival. Going to give it another week or two then I'll suck it up and pay tax+recycling fee and order at local Frys. Or wait out until BestBuy has some in stock (they have a better return policy than Frys).
The funny thing is that my friend ordered the 32gb a week after me and received his yesterday. So I talked to amazon and they said I will have it by the 26th. But I don't know if they are just telling me that because my estimated delivery date is between January 26th - March 15th. Which I find very odd.

Honestly, I think most of the Amazon reps we talk to are clueless. You'd have to get transferred to someone higher up to really get some answers. Even then, they probably wouldn't be able to reveal how much stock they are getting versus how far along you are on the wait list.
You are very right about that. I just find it odd that I'm going to be one of the earliest people to of ordered it but one of the latest to receive it. Its killing me reading about it lol

I pre-ordered mine on the 2nd of this month from Currys and was able to pick it up a couple of days ago - perhaps give them a ring as they may start getting more stock in now?
Might be able to cancel your amazon one and pick up one from there.

Was that the 64gb? I'm wondering if its the 64gb one thats taking so long...

Ah sorry, my mistake - should learn to read a little better.
I went for the 32gb model and bought a tiny 16gb usb mem key to slot in the side.

All good bud thanks for your advice though. I definitely think the 64was delayed longer than the 32 but I just haven't heard anything about it.

I can confirm that my local Frys have the 64GBs in stock, if you have any in your area and don't mind paying tax and can deal with the shorter return period it's worth checking out.
I am still waiting on my 64GB gray from Amazon ordered on 11/22

Yeah when I look at the frys website, they say they have the 64 gb is stock (grey) then you call to verify and they don't have any in stock except for the display model. Glad I called before placing order, driving only to be told we don't have any. FRYS FIX YO WEBSITE! This is the Downers Grove, IL location. Still says in stock there. http://shop1.frys.com//wf?a=STORE_INV_CHECK,w=CHECKOUT&x=50499182:7:2519873.0
Ordered a 32GB gray on Dec. 19 and don't have it yet. Originally my estimated delivery was Jan 24 - Feb 7, but I went on the order page and confirmed 1-day shipping - now my order says "We'll notify you when we have an estimated delivery date"
What really sucks is the customer service doesn't have a clue what's going on. They keep telling me it's a special order item??? And I don't know how many times I've heard this line - "We're still waiting on a shipment from the manufacturer. You'll get your item as soon as that shipment comes in"
Why are all these other stores getting inventory but not Amazon?

Wow that's very odd because as I mentioned further up my friend ordered his Dec 27th (32gb champagne) from Amazon and received his 2 days ago. I thought it was just the 64gb people were having trouble with. I hope this gets sorted out for you bud.

Heh...I pre-ordered a 64gb champagne back when they first had it, 11/22. I did not have my order canceled but they did push the delivery estimate to Jan 26 - Feb 13. Good luck with that!
THANK GOD Amazon messed up! I was able to get in on the HH Gregg deal last Friday. I used in store pickup just in case they decided to cancel the orders, so I paid tax, but it was in my hands last Friday. So I canceled my order...that should help you get yours faster ;-)
I am also glad I ignored all of the whiners complaining about wifi, bt & GPS. I get 3 bars of Wireless N 2 floors from the router and in that same spot the GPS locks on before the map has a chance to display. I haven't done any "official" tests...that's tonight. BT keyboard is out for delivery...I don't really see using the dock a whole lot...if I need to type that much I'll use a laptop or desktop.
Ordered a 32gb champagne and a 64 gb grey on 11/22. Received the champagne 32 on 12/19 and the grey 64 on 1/5. Also ordered a champagne doct on 11/22... still waiting on that...

Thanks this info helps a lot. Since you ordered yours a month prior to me I guess I have a little longer to wait

I am really worried about my shipping date being pushed back again. Even if it isn't, having to wait till the end of February is ridiculous. A two month+ wait just doesn't make any sense! Either amazon took far more orders than they could possibly fill in a reasonable amount of time (unethical), or asus is not giving amazon the supply a retailer of it's size deserves.
Order Placed: December 21, 2011
ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-GR 10.1-Inch 64GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray)
Delivery Estimate: Wednesday January 25, 2012 - Tuesday February 28, 2012
Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Mobile Docking - Amethyst Gray (TF201-DOCK-GR)
Delivered Thursday January 12, 2012
A few days back I got the Amazon prime membership and updated my shipping to the free 2 day when I did my ship date
changed from Jan 27-Feb 28 to Jan 26- March 6 which I also find odd.
But yes I am worried about my ship date too.
