It's listed as the ASUS® Eee Pad Transformer TF201 Tablet, 32GB Item # 906853, which IS the Prime.
At other times, when it was OOS, the Office Depot site kept suggesting the TF101 and kept trying to put it into your cart as a substitute. So stay alert during checkout.
Good to go. Just ordered mine. Free shipping for delivery on he 30th.

I actually have a pre-order with them from 12/22 which had estimated delivery for 12/27. I have yet to receive it.
I e-mailed them and the response I got today was:
This is in reference to when you will receive order ********. According to our replenishment department , this item should be in stock at the distribution center by the end of this week . We should be able to ship by next week. I do apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your business.
What about the keyboard dock?
I just ordered from Office Depot. Rep promised me it would be delivered Jan 6th.
I figure I will get a second Prime (i already have one) to see if it has any defects (hopefully not). And plan to sell whichever one has the worst defects.
(current one has dust under screen, screen bleed and broken wifi, laggy performance but it may just be a software problem.)

Located in east coast. Thats why mine is going to take a week longer to ship to my nearest warehouse.
I called and asked for overnight shipping, and I'll pay for it, but was told that its unavailable for it. WTF! Only the 3 day shipping option is available
Hmm. So I ordered one of these just now, but now I feel like cancelling.
I keep reading about all these different issues with the device that I somehow think that if I wait for my Amazon pre-order to ship, that next batch from them will be less prone to have those issues, plus I'll get the gold color, which I think looks a bit cooler.
Is it likely that when Amazon gets more in stock that they will be updated and in better shape than these first batches, or am I just as likely to get one with issues?
Also, Amazon estimates february 1st as the shipping date, is it likely this will quickly change to sooner in early January, so I wouldn't be waiting much longer?
Should I not cancel?

That is a hard decision to make. I had one on pro-order from GS that is supposed to be delivered on 01/11 which is only about 11 days differentce from the one I should be getting this Friday, so chances are they are from the same lot and my chances of getting a lemo are probably 50/50 from either shipment.
But I think you might have a more valid point, if they are fixing the issues the are coming up, the later you order/get it, the better your chances of getting a unit with little to no issues.
Let me ask you something, when you are thinking about "sticking" a woman, do you go to the forums and ask them if you should. Decision is entirely yours. Never let someone's opinion influence what you buy. You would be angry if it doesn't work for you and even angrier for listening to someone when you knew better. Just know that there is a manufacturer's warranty and if you can live with the wait for repairs, then that's a start.
I own a Transformer Prime, do you?

Well, the first batch of TF101 tablets had really bad screen bleed and build quality... I just bought one (TF101) last month and it was just as bad, horrible screen bleed and backing loose and falling off (and last month i ordered two and both had these same defects that the very first batch had).
One was from bestbuy and the other was from amazon. Asus isnt too good at working out the defects, so I would say yes no matter when you get your prime, it will have some sort of defect.
Just have to hope for a minor defect, or one that you could live with.

True.
My main question was whether people knew if ASUS would be actively fixing these issues for their later batches, so I should have just asked that. My other questions were just thought streams that I didn't analyze before typing.
Ordered mine on 12/28, did a live chat today and this is what i was told
Irving: Thank you for your patience. I checked you order, it will most likely ship on January 3, 2012.
Michael: will that be overnight shipping?
Irving: It would be regular shipping, the estimate delivery date of your order is Thursday, January 5, 2012 between 08:30 AM - 05:00 PM.

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.
Here goes:
Dear (ME),
Unfortunately, we just received word that the ASUS Transformer Primehas been delayed worldwide and will most likely not be available beforeChristmas. ASUS feels the WiFi range does not currently meet their standardsand has delayed all shipments worldwide. At the moment there is no ETA and noinformation on available quantities on the first batch.
If this was intended as a gift, we would like to recommend changing toa different tablet to ensure on time delivery for the holidays. Otherwise, werecommend keeping your order in place to hold your position in the queue for atablet once they are available. If you decide you would like to have yourorder cancelled, please contact our customer care department here:
http://secure1.ncix.com/message/?dept=2
In the meantime, we would like to offer you a $25 off coupon on anyother in stock tablet.
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=1384&in=1
Please find a tablet that suits your needs and add to your shoppingcart. Then add the coupon code “Tablet25-914091” to the couponcode field on the top right of the Shopping Cart page to receive $25 off yourpurchase. This coupon code will expire December 31st.
Sincerely,

Thanks for that info. I find it most interesting that Asus still hasn't officially come out and said anything. Well anything other than how many people are enjoying their tablet. My question is though that obviously if this is a worldwide issue, if Asus choose to postpone the canadian launch and reroute a known good batch of tablets to some of their US retailers. I say this since both GameStop and BestBuy both seem to be sticking to launch dates of the 19th which means they must be getting tablets from Asus. Also which is why other retailers are stating after christmas and why Amazon canceled orders. Because they knew they wouldn't get enough from Asus to meet demands.
While this does suck, it could however mean that they will launch with ICS. Asus wouldn't delay a launch for a software issue, so this is likely a hardware issue and will require the entire lineup to be redone which will take sone time.

The other possibility is that bestbuy and gamestop are just much slower to send the info down through their internal channels and to their customers. NCIX and memory express in canada are much smaller so maybe they simply are getting the info out quicker. Who knows though

While that is always a possibility, some people are recieving status updates on their orders with the docks shipped date being moved up from BestBuy to the 19th, the same day as the tablet, without the tablet date being pushed back. Also with GameStop they always stop taking orders on special items when they meet their quota. If they stopped because they reached their quota that means they know how many they are getting and since they haven't told customers that they are delayed and even promised to ship a few tablets to non-tablet stores, they are pretty confident in their stock and probably already have them in their warehouse for distribution.

Lets hope So. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us. We are to close now. A week n 3-4 days Prime should be in my hands. I was told the 19th several times when I preordered a few weeks back. Haven't called to check since. As I felt confident they will have it. Some places already have them in the back but can't distribute them until the 19th.
Asus should just give all of us who preordered from GameStop a free controller and dock for our troubles.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5178/an-update-on-transformer-prime-battery-life-wifi-issues
The guys (if history is any indicator) at AnandTech have been pretty spot on with both release dates and reviews, check out there review on the Prime as an example. They were (as far as I know) the first to point out a problem with the WiFi. Of course Asus told them it was a defective unit (suspect), regardless they withheld there final analysis until they received a second unit which did "not" exhibit the same WiFi issues, which then to me means, they are able to fix it quickly, maybe a ROM update or something, IDK, regardless we will see. GameStop where I have mine on pre-order here in Houston continues to tell me it will be available on the 19th. I am a personal friend of the manager, his wife works with my wife ...kinda thing. If he had heard anything to the contrary he would tell me, so for now...on target.
Ouch. Even if we get tablets on-time they're likely to be busted. The wifi on the demo unit at GameStop definitely was fluctuating wildly both times I played with it, I had assumed the signal just sucked, but I didn't compare to my phone.
It's also concerning that the "fixed" one was still much more impeded than the original transformer.
yup. waiting for my email now. which is fine ill wait I do not care.

Where did you do the preorder in houston? GS told me I was the first to preorder at the 249, spring cypress location. With all this issue and asus not saying a word maybe I should just not expect it before xmas. If you bought the transformer you would remember that asus pull the same **** with the supply. We didn't even know where it was going to be available, just had to try different online retailers. But at least it had a release date count down. My guess is within a few days of availability asus will announce the date. And if it was to be after the 19th...I'm canceling all my preorders. **** that...asus claiming to be first quadcore with ics. We already know the prime is not first with ICS. Hopefully it can still be first quadcore.

For starters, there is no other quad core tablet out now. Even if prime doesn't show until febuary or march, it will still be first quad core with ICS. as it'll ship with it or update to ICS immediately after. That Chinese tablet running ICS is b.s. Anyways..lmao plus it's not a powerful device at all. So Asus will still hold both titles until someone else has same setup on store shelves. Some people already have device in their hands. So first quad core is already achieved. ICS will be available to update to very soon. No other quad core won't release until at least march at earliest and that's pushing it. Ipad3 won't be quad core or running ICS. That Acer n Samsung tablet still a long ways away. It's all still rumpled right now. No physical devices been shown. Only good tablet that's about to be released soon other than prime is the galaxy tab 7.7. Which will the best/most powerful/best display having out of all the galaxy lineup. Aside from the Galxy note

I wish Asus would have said "we have no wifi issue" instead of the "we didn't know anything about wifi issue"
Asus would really make points with me if they really delayed the tab because the wifi has problems.
I mean better than shipping it with knowing the problems.
But again Asus does not give any information and that sucks big deal...
I didn't pre-order from amazon.
I ordered on the 19th after cancelling my newegg pre-order.
Just got this email. Same date for my dock as well. I think these just might ship with ICS
Hello,
We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on December 19, 2011 (Order# 103-8767212-xxxxxxx):
"ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-B1-CG 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Champagne)"
Estimated arrival date: January 26, 2012 - February 09, 2012
I got the same email. I may just give up on this tablet :-/
I really think Asus is doing some quiet back tracking and recalling a lot of these tablets that was sent to US.
This would explain why the local Best Buy's in my area were quite confident that they're shipment was going to be here by the 19th and soon changed their tune to that they didn't know how soon they would get them and that they were suppose to get them earlier but Asus pulled their shipment and they've pulled their new shipment.
I really think that story from Canada about the faulty Primes were true and Asus is being super hush about it with in regards to the US.
This is why there have been so few sold here following the launch.

I assume they figure early adopters wouldn't give a crap. Which they rarely do. I'm just glad we're going to get a next rev tablet. Maybe we'll see an improvement. Maybe they'll carve a hole out of that aluminum slab to fit a proper antenna.
Screw Amazon
OK guys, amazon messed us up big time. So what I suggest we all do is, wait for them to credit us the 10 dollar they promised and then cancel any orders you have with them and go to another place.
I mean I got my prime from gamestop last night, but still have 2 on preorder from amazon. They got the nerve to send us an email and say we can preorder again and we waited til midnight to do it, and we got the same date as people ordering much later. That's so not right. You'd think they would have it sooner. So by friday you all should be getting the 10 dollar amazon promised. If not call them and as soon as you get it. Drop the preorder.

WoW, if they don't tell you early they are not informing you and if they wait till the last minute they aren't being honest.
Curious to know, were you planning on buying 2 preorders from Amazon or were you going to cancel one or both so they would have to change their inventory allotment again for distribution of preorders? (hint about wherein lies at least part of the problem)

I originally ordered only one from amazon, but seeing as they can flip out and cancel you anytime I thought it would be safe to pick one of each just in case. You see how they perpetuated the problem?

Ok, interesting response. Did Amazon cancel your preorder? Also you addressed my second statement but not my first. This is curiousity only on my part. I originally posted because of what BB just anounced this evening and I was thinking about it in comparison to Amazon letting people know earlier than 3 days before Christmas. To answer your question I don't see how they perpetuated a problem. Which problem are you refering to?

Amazon also said that it was an accident... I'm not on either side here as I already know I'm probably not getting one til next year but I want correct things being argued over. If there is going to be one there might as well be a good one Although you did say curious so I guess it's really not an argument.... hmmmmmmm

To answer your number 2 question. I order 2, but intend on only keeping one, whichever was available first. At that point I also rushed to preorder at other sites because I had only originaly ordered one from amazon. Seeing as how amazon canceled my order and seeing how there is delays everywhere, I decited to order from several different places hoping that I would get one of them. You see, if Amazon would keep my ONE order, I would not have to run all over the place ordering everywhere else, including reordering 2 from amazon hoping to get one. It turns out that I did get one from gamestop, which now will force me to cancel both amazon orders. You think I like buying from gamestop? I hate them, and I also hate paing taxes. I could have saved by buying from amazon, which I want to, but they have failed me and they failed again on the second preorder sending me back to the end of the line.
Got your 10 dollar from amazon?
Were some of you promised 10 dollars? Have you got it?
Think you are tired of waitng for your prime?? listen to this.
So I ordered my prime on Dec 20, 2011 from Amazon and paid in full with Amazon gift cards.
I patiently waited and was told that my prime would be arriving today. Woohoo!!
So I check my tracking today and it says that it is on the truck and in transit to my house.
At 7:00 pm tonight I began to get concerned and call the shipping company (Ensenda). They inform me that they never recieved it from Amazon. (wait what?? the tracking says its on the f'n truck!!)
They transfer me to Amazon support who apologized and told me that they would have a replacement ship out and arrive on monday.
I was put on hold and when support returned they told me that I would not get a replacement as they had none in stock. Also they said they had no idea when they would be receiving any more. They best they could do was refund me.
They would not even place a new order for me, and now I am assed out.
Now I have no prime, not even a pending order, nothing.
I have to wait for them to come in stock before I can even re-place my order.
I got ****ed completey after patiently waiting for almost a month.

*yawn*
I think mine's fine even with the slightly weak WIFI. No screen bleeding that I can tell.
I feel for you. I ordered from Amazon on 12/19 and used $300 gift cards. I am trying to be patient but it's hard to not jump on one of these other sellers like newegg, gamestop, or hhgregg. But alas, I had the amazon gift cards and I trust their returns department.
Seriously, good luck finding one. Sign up for alerts at nowinstock.net and you'll probably get it faster than with Amazon.

Wow. I wouldnt hold out much hope man. I spoke with a "support team leader". He checked to see when they would be getting more in and he said they would not be receiving any in the near future.
This whole situation is really screwed up. How can other companies be getting stock yet one of the worlds largest retailers had none, and has no clue when they will get a decent amount.

True. I just returned mine to Amazon - weak WiFi, NO GPS signal whatsoever, minor screen bleed (although screen bleed is a thing a lot of people don't notice), and that pesky problem where the right side of the bezel was slightly loose - like it wasn't glued down all the way (as it is on my friend's, who got one from the "new" batch just this week).
I'll also throw this out there:
- HHGregg dropped the price to $399 - and then removed it completely from their site when they sold out (it was sold in the actual stores for the same price - so no pricing error there) - it still comes up on the site when you search for it - but click the link, and the product page has been completely removed
- Amazon removed it completely from their site a couple of weeks ago (I wasn't even given the option to order a replacement or an exchange with my return - as is normal Amazon protocol - I was only given the option to get a refund)
- Newegg took it completely off of their website (besides the open box units they unloaded for $399 this morning - most likely, returns)
- A couple of websites have notes that the thing has been discontinued and they won't be expecting more stock in
- Best Buy has removed the sku from their in-store system - managers don't believe they'll be getting any more in
Like people said - grain of salt - but there are 5 of them right there...
EDIT - they may not be getting discontinued by the manufacturer, but my guess is (and it's just a guess) - a lot of retailers were getting heaps of these things back in returns - if it were me, I wouldn't want to deal with the headache of selling them...

Just a bit of advice. I'm a big Amazon shopper, and one thing I've learned is that you have to go out of your way to get that great customer service. Just because one Amazon rep tells you something don't just blindly accept it. Go through all the proper channels (Phone, Chat, E-mail, Supervisor) I can almost guarantee you will be satisfied eventually.
PS Personally I've had the best of luck through phone and e-mail. And afterwards you'll get two links asking "Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?", if you choose "no" it'll ask you to give them another chance. I have had success in the past using this method as well.
You should easily be able to be put back on the front of the waiting list, it's just common sense. Any good supervisor should see that.
Good Luck!

How can you say a "vast majority?" There are just as many people on here with issues as there are people WITHOUT issues. You keep posting your thread, but it is all based on an unnamed, unproven anonymous source. That could be anyone, it could be a real Asus employee, it could be Seth Rogan above, or your imagination.
I keep hearing the argument of how there are not that many primes with issues because XDA and other forums are just a small percentage of actual owners and most owners probably wouldn't be on here posting their problems. Or how people wouldn't come on here to post that they have a great prime, but only if they have problems.
Thus, those with issues are probably magnified on these forums compared to the overall numbers. However, that can work both ways. XDA could also be a very small sample of those who think they DO NOT have problems. You really cannot have it both ways.
I am still seeing FAR MORE people with issues than people who do not have issues. Even in the Positive & Perfect Prime threads.
Your thread isn't really based on any facts or anything to prove that there are not really as many issues as everyone thinks. It could easily just be YOUR opinions since your source is an anonymous person. I could just as easily say "I know someone at the top, inside Asus, and this is straight from the horses mouth. They are having a lot of issues with the Prime and have had daily meetings to decide what to do. They are considering simply replacing it with the new model since the T201 has so many issues. They are starting to slow down distribution to buy more time to consider the next step to still maximize sales and profits, stay tuned!"
How is that any different than YOUR anonymous source>? I just made that all up, but it sounds just as factual as your unnamed and anonymous source. I have read your thread, I honestly have. After reading it, it doesn't change my mind. It doesn't make me feel more comfortable or confident in the Prime OR Asus. It just makes me question the source, that is about it.

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.

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?

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!
