First and foremost....I got my Prime today. Its perfect. No light leakage...No WIFI issues, GPS works, No loose screen, Update took 5 minutes and had no issues. Keep the faith people...There are good primes out there...We just see a majority of the issues here on the forums.
Now to the order of business. I am a seasonal Best Buy employee (Senior at Purdue University who works here during christmas...mainly for the sick employee discount). You CAN CURRENTLY get the Grey dock at ANY Best Buy store. They are still not available to order online and you will not find the device in the store that day, but they are obtainable. The process is as follows.
1) Simply walk into said Best Buy.
2) Head to the computer department and find someone who does not look stupid.
3) Tell them you would like to do an OMS order for the Asus transformer prime dock.
4) They will say they cant do it and cant find a SKU.
5) Give them this sku: 4175048
6) They will be able to OMS ship either to that store...or to your house.
7) Wait a week or so, depending on when you order...(Our trucks come from the Chicago warehouse every Thusday night so it totally depends on when that store gets shipments from its warehouse)
8) Recieve your dock ahead of schedule.
This does work as I have done it for myself and have a dock on our truck due this Thursday the 5th.
Just as a quick update on the units themselves...I have just today started to see them moving through RSS (our investory software). Only 2 of them were shipped to the largest store in central Indiana which I bet are OMS or some sort of .Com orders. You are not able to OMS the actual tablet.
-Quix.
I will try this tomorrow. If it works, you are awesome. Thanks!
Wtf, why not. Ups usually doesn't arrive till about 5 pm so I have some free time thanks!
Ill kiss you if this works. Tired of missing online stocks that run out in <20 minutes.
Is this able to be done over the phone with your local Best Buy store? :O
Thanks for this appreciate it but I do hate to inform you your GPS may work from a technical standpoint( like everyone's) but will not work as a real world practical turn by turn navigation device.
You should indeed be able to do this over the phone assuming you are ok giving them your credit card information over the phone as well.

I owe you a kiss. On the truck for the 10th. The guy was pretty adamant about them not having anything at any best buy. I told him to check the sku for ****s and giggles and he told me there were actually 128. dont know if that was for the store or all of bestbuy, but its one less now. Thanks for the heads up.
Worked for me. Estimated delivery date Jan 9 - Jan 12
And you guys are sure they are sending you the Amethyst one and not the Champagne one?

Great...now if I could just get the blasted tablet....
As of 8 minutes ago I have a transformer prime, although I'm at work and haven't seen it (in person) yet. @OP any word when they will have them instock at the stores because I am leaving at the end of the week. If I would do this today would they have it by Friday? Or am I better of to wait and do it next week?

Depends on when they get their weekly inventory shipments in. Usually less than a week, but they can tell you if you call. My bestbuy is on Tuesdays, Quix says Chicago's is Friday, etc.

How would one go about doing this on the phone? I ordered my prime over the phone, because I had to do financing, because for some reason I couldn't find out how to do it online. I was transfered about 4 times to different departments until I was connected with someone who ordered my prime and let me do financing.
So if I want to get the keyboard, and use the "magic OMS word," would I call the 1-8xx number? (I don't know it off the top of my head) And once I call, who do I ask to talk to?

So yea I am late to the game and for the $$ I would love one. Any hot links where they are still shipping?
Thanks! Ill post if I find one.

Many shops are sending their stock back to HP to be sold at hp.com. That's why they are only temporarily out of stock. You can have them e-mail you when they are back in stock.

Ordered one from Erwin Comp. Make sure you guys use Google Checkout just in case. They seem fairly reputable from what I read on reviews online. Let's hope they don't cancel my order like B&N did. I'm only buying just one, not in it for the resales.
Just now ordered 1 from erwincomputers.com It says item "In-stock". Hope its true and goes through. I also used the google checkout since I am not familiar with this website.
Their online ratings are horrible.
That being said....we shall see.
I used Google Checkout AND my American Express....just in case.
AmEx is awesome at disputes should Erwin decide to hose me.
I was gonna get another one from Erwin comp but after reading the reviews changed my mind. Just gonna wait until Wednesday.
Might want to check your local Best Buy stores today or at least find out when their trucks come. From what I've been told, they are gonna have them. Don't know if they will have a limit or not. Good luck!!!

I thought all inventories were going back to HP's warehouses....
For 100 bucks...or even 149, these make nice coffee table tablets for the net, music and browsing. I don't need 100K apps...but for 100 bucks, IMO, these are a better offering than the bottom of the line, 1.6 or 2.2 android cheapo tablets.
Samsung just lost a lawsuit over in Europe. There's a chance they might be stocking up as well.....
yarp - certainly do - im in the uk and ive just ordered 5 of them from insight (they are one of our suppliers here at my workplace - i got 5x 32gb versions for 120 quid each)
I spoke to them first thing this morning and they were waiting for the price drop which came at 1pm today - then he phoned me - stock says that they had about 500 or so. goodluck.
My mate just bagged on about 10 minutes ago, so they still have them....

Insight is reputable, our company use them all the time. However just spoke to ur rep and they are sold out. Back to the drawing board for me
erwin is out of stock.
Hope they actually had them in proper numbers so i get one.
Insight is throwing up an error when I attempt to checkout, using either mastercard or visa. In stock shows 746 units...
yup - theyve gone off of insight...our rep said they shifted 1300 in an hour....i think this will be the tablet of choice for hacking now....

Same here, tried with Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
i found me a preorder, thanx all.
There are many preorder sites threads that you can look at and see which one still has availability. I would suggest to go there and start searching those to find your answer
I ordered from expansys.ca, mainly because they have it available in gold and not just grey. Anything you order from expansys Canada will come from the states, the difference being that they'll take care of things like duties if you order from the Canadian website.
The good thing about it is that they won't charge you until you confirm that you want it AFTER they get enough stock to accommodate you. And there are no cancellation fees.
But it's a big list. I was number 140 on it, just yesterday morning.

thanx, do you think if i preorded from there now, i would get it on or before the 19th? or even faster then amazon.ca?
I'm not sure about that. I doubt it though. They have no ETA, and you'd be at least number 141 on the list, so probably not before the 19th.

At this point I feel like the only people getting anything on or around the 19th are Best Buy, Best Buy.ca, and Gamestop. Maybe Amazon and Newegg but i don't think those are looking too good at this point either. I could be way off but that is how it is feeling so far. From the rumor mill it at least appears all of Canada is pushed back except bb.ca.
You can always try pre-ordering from Frys.
I did last night for my wife.
http://www.frys.com/search?cat=-68332&pType=pDisplay&fq=100319 Android_Honeycomb_3.2-m10099998 ASUS
They also ship to Canada so you never know.
no one knows...
Hold on, let me just grab my crystal ball....
....But seriously, unless someone here works for Asus (in an in-the-know capacity) and spills the beans, you can "assume" anything you want, it will not make the release/availability date any less of a guessing game.
It's true that no one knows but you can make some educated deductions to find that it at least appears so far that GS and BB are the most likely to meet the 19th & 20th estimates. And also that Best Buy Canadia is the best bet in Canada.
i found a site, but the name is prob a typo.
is this the right product numbers?
TF201-B1-GR
TF201-DOCK-GR
edit:
btw the dock is 115 dollars... why so cheap? i know the sites legit, and i called them and they should be getting some in stock in a few days (estimate) this sites my best chance to get it by the 19th... BUT WHY SO CHEEEAAAP!?!
edit2:
now i found the old one for EVEN MORE then the new one... 572.00 the other one is 500... i googled the product numbers and it has to be the right pad... WHY!?
on my way to preordering it right now (1 click away lol)

That's the thing...its not EDUCATED. Anything past 1st Dec Taiwan release is conjecture at best. What makes GS or BB more likely to meet the 19th and 20th dates?

Listen, I'm not going to argue with you. I have read every post in this forum and I am guessing just from all of the conjecture and the few facts that I have read that Best Buy and Gamestop are the most likely to meet the 19th release. I'm educated and that is my guess. I've never come close to stating that it was a fact.
And for the sake of transparency I have paid Gamestop in full for my preorder. So I suppose there is some hope dashed into my edumacated guesses.

well... i hope to god your right, i got a private message from some awesome badass, telling me about a site that has 0 preorders and 6 on the way.
so i should be getting mine around the 19th. they guess it will get to them by the 16th.
Awesome. I hope that is true. I really hope everybody gets them opening day. I was really hoping the 12th would pan out for those that had that as a release date at some point.
im a little worried though... why does my dock only cost 115 dollars..
its supposed to be 150... arnt those set prices? I checked the product number 6 times, and its the proper product, i even called them and they said that the product numbers are always correct.. can someone explain this to me.
What site are we talking about? I'd be curious to look if you have already become the first to preorder there and it won't jeopardize your chances of getting it there.
After some heartache (not nearly as much as some of you) I have finally gotten confirmation from UPS on receiving my package with a delivery set for tomorrow.
Purchased: Grey 32GB Prime from secret link w/ Next Day Air Saver shipping
Date/Time: Friday 10pm (central)
BB printed shipping label: 12/26 (Monday) @ 6:50pm
UPS scanned for shipping: Today @ 4:44pm (Fresno, CA)
-tracking number was inactive in UPS system until just now-
If your is looking good to go on the UPS side, feel free to post and lend some reassurance to our brothers and sisters in arms.
If this helped you find that yours in good to go, feel free to throw me a thanks.
^ ^
*Update*
I received mine today (12/28) from UPS. There's also talk in the other threads about getting your money back for 1day shipping option from Best Buy. Haven't tried yet (didn't want to jinx arrival) but I plan on calling tomorrow.
UPS NEXT DAY AIR
ETA: by 3:00 pm Wednesday
Yep my tracking number also now works in UPS's system. It's coming from Fresno CA and I am on the East Coast so it won't be here till the 4th :-(
Is there anyway to get UPS to ship it faster for a charge? I don't want to wait a week!!!
The real heartache is going to be when you open the device and see it immediately does not live up to your expectations. I found no discernible difference between my TF101 and TF201, thus, I canceled my order. People must temper their expectations, or all of the hand wringing and teeth knashing that has been going on waiting to get one will feel like nothing compared to dropping 500 beans on a tablet that really won't 'wow' you, in any way.
what does this mean for Canadians, if anything?
I'm pretty sure you gonna love the device. it has definitely Wowed me and I come from having an Ipad. still haven't been able to set it down yet..lol. I know I need to get off this forum and start playing around with it somemore. catch you all later lmao

I ordered mine on Saturday 12/24 through the special link and the UPS tracking just went through. As others stated, it is in Fresno and will be here tomorrow! Didn't get one for Christmas but it is my birthday tomorrow so it is all good.
I had one on order from Newegg and cancelled it once Best Buy confirmed my order on Monday. I sure hope I don't have any defects like some have stated. This is my first tablet so I am sure I will enjoy it and not be disappointed. My Droid X is fun but I am sure this will be a whole lot better.

My expectations for the Prime are realistic.
So I'm of of the late people to order the prime (12/26) and just wondering how many of us are out there? Anyone got any idea when that second batch is coming to amazon?
I'm also an Amazon late buyer. Hoping our patience pays off with more polished machines.
I'm also in this boat. I'm honestly not expecting to get mine until February. I'm hoping that by the time it ships it will have ICS pre-installed.
Ordered from Amazon 64GB Champagne today After Return
I returned my TP yesterday to GameStop for a full refund. They had none in stock so refunded in cash no less. My reason for returning was a completely dead GPS. I never once got any lock of any type trying all the tricks on the GPS threads. Everything else worked flawlessly and I really hated parting with it but if I'm paying 500 bucks for a device it better work. I did notice a few people with later shipments having better luck than I did and so am rejoining the great TP Egg Hunt
P.S. From my own personal experience of two weeks playing with the TP if they get the GPS issue worked out this will be one badass tablet !!!
From the rumors i hear, the second batch of TP on amazon is due to ship during the first half of January so lets all hope that we get our tablets then and they are without problems

Man this just kills me.. I really don't understand why people need GPS so badly. I really can't think of a single time I would use it. My Galaxy Nexus is a MUCH better navigation device than a 10" tablet could ever be. As long as it can get my current city from wifi for searches, what other possible use is there?
It's probably been discussed in other GPS threads, but I haven't seen any real reason that I should worry about GPS on a wifi only tablet.
If you do a search on Amazon right now, the 32 GB Primes are only available from Amazon partners at highly inflated prices. There is a 64 GB available from Amazon, but no 32's.

Yeah, this bugs me too. People exchanging their otherwise perfectly working Primes because of GPS.... People should research enough to know that no amount of exchanges at this time is going to solve the issue.
Back on topic, I also ordered on 12/26 from Amazon (Grey 64GB)
Yeah, I posted about this yesterday. I ordered on Dec 19th, 64gb grey. One person in my post stated they ordered it on the 18th and it was delivered on the 30th. Not sure what size and stuff. I've also heard of some from the first round not getting theirs yet. I'm hoping that we get them in the next week or so.
I preordered my 64 champ. on the 22nd, had an est. of jan 24th-feb 7, and 3 days ago, changed to "we will notify you" and hasn't given me a new date yet

It's not even that, I just don't know what they are even using the GPS on a wifi tablet to do... As I said, android phones are much better navigation devices than big tablets. If they removed GPS function completely, I'm not sure what I would miss out on...
Just got off the phone with amazon about the 64gb champ. gold model. Csr told me that they are expecting to start shipping out this week, and have more coming the week after that, and the week after that.

How would i even prove it.... and honestly i don't care if you don't believe me lol
I hope I can find one and a dock in stock... Wish me luck I have been looking forward to getting one
It'll be like going ice fishing.
Is there any color choice you're looking for in particular (Champagne (Gold) or Alchemist (Gray))?
good luck.
finding a prime here locally in chicago, is just as bad as the iPad 2 availability launch..gl on your search.
Good luck....once you do find it, it'll be more than worth it.
You so funny!

I want one of the Alchemist Grey's. All I got was Amethyst Grey.
For the OP:
Just remember, (if you have been researching the Prime, this is not news to you) - Make sure wherever you pick one up that they a) Have a good return policy, and CHECK it, don't assume. and b) Ideally they have a decent amount of stock. It doesn't help if you get a defective unit if there is nothing in stock to exchange it FOR.
Good luck. The Prime is a beautiful device. I hope you eithr get or plan to get a keyboard dock, as it's not just an accessory. It's the Primes "Other half", LOL - but is awesome and makes the Prime special and unique (or did until Lenovo ripped off the idea) I wonder what, if any kind of patents Asus has on the dock. It could never be completely unique to Asus, but they have done it so well, few if any can approach the tight integration that Asus has.
Let us know how it turns out!
try Staples, or Gamestop. You get a few free games already installed.

It's very hard to find one trust me. Not one Best Buy in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana has any available.After researching like mad. This where I just bought mine. Same exact thing.

Just before I would recommend calling & double check they do have available. When I ordered mine last Wednesday there was a couple hundred available.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

If you want to try bestbuy again. Try this go to the salesperson and tell them this "I would like an OMS order SKU#4038674"
Finally found one ! and it was the ONLY one my local Tiger Direct Brick & Mortar had one, Found one dock @ my local Best Buy just Finished with all the OTA updates WiFi is good Haven't tried Bluetooth yet I tried GPS briefly and got no lock.... off to research ! Man this thing is AWESOME !!!
Prime docks are available in best buy now as a walk in walk out purchase? What's the OMS order number for the dock in case they don't have it.
This is gonna sound stupid... but what is an oms # ?

Like a special order or similar..like order for warehouse item
Would it be on the receipt or the box ?
Got my dock last week at my local Best Buy in Pa. Last one on the shelf. Looking at the box and receipt and don't know what number you need?
