Don't flame me... I actually have a valid point (to me anyway) for asking this.
The reason I am asking is because I'm pretty sure I am going to be getting one so I am curious as to which developers from the 3D will be getting one. I think the developers we have here are some of the best around and it would be awesome if some of the devs around here are getting it. I would hope that the dev community on the first quad core tablet would be awesome but ya never know.

this... tablets are the ****.. i got a touchpad...
i heard many bad things about the Prime... check over in the forum... bunch of hardware/software problems i would love to buy one but it took me 5 different evo 3d's before i found one that i could live with and it has a dead pixel
i cant wait till development starts pushing out ICS roms in the touchpad forum rather than Gingerbread.... but then again... its only 3 people that i know of doing any development for the touchpad
No. I bought into the hype of the original Transformer, and returned it right at my 14-day mark. The TouchPad suits me just fine. For the price I paid, it's an unbeatable deal.
I was going to get a Prime until I heard about all the problems. In the meantime I have a piece of crap Streak 7 to tide me over. I decided my next tablet is going to have true stylus support (like the Note/Flyer types, only 7-10" with at least a dual-core processor). That is partly because I do write out notes every day in my line of work. Probably 7" would be best so I could hold it in one hand while writing with the other...but I digress...
I have the prime and I can say it is easily the best tablet on the market
I already have mine with no issues at all. Viperboy already has a root/unroot tool available, but ICS is coming on the 12th anyways. The tablet has great battery life and is unbelievably smooth in just about everything it does.

A buddy of mine has one also. I have played with it and the thing is badass! I think the only way I wont get a Prime is if HTC or someone comes out with a S4 tablet in the same price range. The qualcomm chip is freaking amazing!

I have an acer iconia a500 tablet. I do like it, don't get me wrong. But It's not worth more than the $300 we bought it for. It's just a gadget, plain and simple. If your going to drop $500, $600 you might as well get a laptop, but that of course is just my opinion.
I've got my Prime coming on Monday. Can't wait!
i'll be getting one as soon as i can. finally get to upgrade from my ipad (so laggy, so, so, laggy)

Instead of answering that question I would like to offer advice instead. There are a lot of people on Ebay that are selling used devices that are in mint condition, and have all the box, documentation, and what not, you could message each seller to find out what hboot it is. Obviously most of them will need to be told how to find that out for you.
The benefit of this is a cheaper buy, and you get what you want and your son won't know it isn't brand new, or be able to explain to him why you had to go that route. I think unless you are getting refurbished (and not even then sometimes) will you get hboot 1.4.
Hope I helped, cheers!

I have an upgrade as of December 1st and radio shack has the 3D on sale for $100 with a 2 year extension. I can't really beat that price on eBay. If it comes with hboot 1.5 its not really a big deal, just more of a hassle. I just have to read up on flashing using fastboot. If anything I will learn something new. Thanks for your input though.

Unless you just get extremely lucky, a new 3D, purchased from a brick and mortar store, or even online, from the same stores, will have hboot 1.5 on it. It looks like TeamEvil is close to having an S-OFF solution for the 1.5 hboot, so it might not matter what Hboot you have soon. No watermarked bootloader for me, thank you very much.
hboot 1.50 here, no biggie, not really a issue for ME. I have watermarked bootloader, blah blah blah. lol

Yeah you are quite right about that, definitely can't beat that for a new device (the 3D anyhow). Are you going for the 3D for him because of that upgrade price? For slightly more you could upgrade to something better. The 3D is going to die soon in terms of developer support, there aren't that many to begin with but specially with better hardware already out, or coming out soon the 3D while still young, is going to die off.
for that price you cant really beat it... 1.5 is a pain in the ass but it still works fine... maybe consider saving ur upgrade for the next "evo" instead?

I don't agree with this 100%. There is a lull in development, though, but mainly because cyanogenmod doesn't have any nightlies for the 3D (I think there's an alpha, but the thread is closed, and I can't find it on goo-inside.me). Also, with ICS just being released, devs are at work making a rom available.
Just look at the evo 4G. It's still going strong 18 months after release. Once CM gets going with CM9, and some more sense 3.5+ roms are leaked, preferably with some Wimax love, we should be seeing more roms.
This is just my opinion, and I could be wrong....so don't take what I say personal

That is a possibility, I do agree we will see a little more developer activity with sense 3.5, ICS, cm being used as a base when it is more complete, etc. however I meant things a little differently. While the 3D isn't the least popular device among users or developers it hasn't had the type of device that has received extraordinary development that a lot of other devices have even from the beginning of its release. The 4g started out so popular because it was a revolutionary device from sprint. The first 4g phone, and several other never before seen features so it started out so popular, and remains relevant because the hardware it has is still relevant. So the 4g was a special case. Aside from being 3D, which is really just a gimmick, the 3D didn't bring any revolutionary hardware or never before seen features to us, so it started out with less interest, and now the hardware is being beat by the latest devices, and devices coming soon. So aside from the things already mentioned that may give a little bump from A SELECT GROUP of developers it will die quickly. After the excitement of ICS and sense 3.5+ wears off the development of it will fade as less and less people still have it and developers get newer, better, more exciting, and popular devices.
Just like you, this is more of my educated guess and perception than fact, but I am willing to bet it is/will be fact soon.

I am going with the 3D because that's what he wants. He also said he was interested in the new nexus but I am not really a fan of Samsung. My first android was the moment and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Although I did learn allot about flashing roms and kernels with the POS. It forced me to learn. I would just hold off on my upgrade for the next HTC phone but I dont see one in the near future with the release of the evo design.

I'm sorry to hear about your trouble with the Samsung device. If the 3D is what he wants, that's cool. No more explanation needed, I had wondered if this was your decision or his. I hope you get that new evo design soon. Until then, plenty more can be done with the 3D to improve it. It certainly is not a bad phone, I like the hardware, it does what it should do. I definitely think some new software and features would really take things up a notch!

He didn't really say wich one he wanted more. He wants the nexus because its a google phone and he wants the 3D because of the 3D camera. Personally I wouldn't get the nexus because its a Samsung but if he didn't like the 3D function so much I would get him the nexus.

Which carrier is your son on now? If he is on Verizon, I'd just stay, and wait for the Nexus, which could be released in the next week and a half. If your son is on Sprint, get the 3D, or even consider the Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy S2). It may be made by Samsung, but it's a far cry from the moment of 2009. I see listings on craigslist, of people wanting to trade their 3D for an Epic Touch 4G all the time (even one made by me....).

It is ok, you can say it, you hated the piece of **** and you want the engineers that designed it to burn in a Christmas pageant fire. That will keep the topic on point for the holidays lol. The 3D camera is a neat little gimmick, but that's what it is, a gimmick. When glasses free 3D gets to the point of being very widespread, like all devices can display it regardless of being able to capture it, and the brightness, vivid color, and HD resolution comes along then we can consider it too cool to pass up. Even without the 3D, the hardware is still good so hopefully when that excitement wears off he will still be happy with it lol

I think you are right about the 3D feature being a gimmick but besides that I still am very happy to own one. I bought it for the specs not for the 3D. My son doesn't think its a gimmick. He says that's what makes this phone awesome. I will keep mine until HTC comes out with a LTE Evo.

You're asking this...on an Android forum. Seriously, what kind of answers did you expect?
Get the iPad if you want easy to use. I mean real easy to use. If you want to do something and can't, you probably can't. Android, you could find a way, but you'd need to look. I found that Apple is better for people who can single task while Android is better for people who multitask. Doing more than one thing at a time. The iPad 3 will only have better resolution, camera, and maybe a little faster. The Prime is already better (besides resolution) and does so much more. But, you need to learn it. If you dont want to spend time on technology, get the iPad. But once you start going down the easy path, it's hard to get out. I have an iPad for work (my boss bought me one) and it's very boring already. The first day I learned everything I could. Android I learn new things almost everyday. And its been almost 2 years since I've been playing with Android
If you want to do something and can't, you probably can't. Android, you could find a way, but you'd need to look.

Exactly..
I've got an iPad 2, as does my wife. It's perfect for her, but I hate how limiting it is.. I wouldn't ever go back to an iOS device. If I can't even get access to the underlying file system, it's just not going to work for me, I don't care what the specs are.
While I'm sure the ipad 3 will be a great hardware device ios is simply for those users who can live in a very weak and limited multi tasking world. For me its about Android more than the hardware when it comes to the tablet platform.

If you ever noticed, women are always the ones who prefer Apple products. I think most women aren't very tech savvy, so they go with a more popular brand, thinking it must be good because people camp out for their crappy products.

Well, my touchpad got sold and i'm hopefully jumping ship to the nexus 7. Good luck for development here and hope you all get somewhere.
pS: see ya suckerz =P
i'm hoping to sell one of my touchpads since i can still use my gf's.
nexus 7 should be here soon!
i've seen a few of the touchpad guys over in the nexus 7 forums
Sad to see you leave, I recently sold my A100 because of using the Touchpad so much much more!
I'll be getting a Nexus 7 soon but, I'll be keeping my Touchpad , I only paid £150 for it so, if I end up letting it gather dust then the missus can have it ha ha
Can I ask how much you got for it? Thinking of selling one of my three touchpads for the nexus. *ducks*
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium
well i got the same price what i paid for ...so no profit...but more importantly didn't make a loss
Adios.
I have my TouchPad dual booting webOS and CM9. Oddly enough, I find myself using webOS almost exclusively. I think it's because of the weird aspect ratio of the display. webOS looks great, but very few ICS tablet apps look right.
I hope to eventually pick up something like an Acer Iconia Tab A700, but even then I'll keep the TouchPad around for my kids.

Not bitter at all. Sorry your experience with the Prime was good/bad. Personally it's the best Android device I've owned so far. I've not had any of the problems (except GPS) that others have had. I'm just tired of all the negative threads. Prime this, POS that.
After running JB hard the past 24 hours my Prime is working buttery smooth and it's gotten better and better since I bought it Dec. 27th, 2011.

I'll miss you but hopefully the person I sold it to has a far better experience than I did. For now it is back to my Xoom until something magical not made by Apple comes out.
I want to say thank you to the devs on this device and sort of thank the Prime as it made me learn much more about tweaking than ever before.

Not bitter at all. Sorry your experience with the Prime was good/bad. Personally it's the best Android device I've owned so far. I've not had any of the problems (except GPS) that others have had. I'm just tired of all the negative threads. Prime this, POS that.
After running JB hard the past 24 hours my Prime is working buttery smooth and it's gotten better and better since I bought it Dec. 27th, 2011.

Thanks for being real and I agree with the bitterness on this forum and don't want to contribute. I've edited the OP to reflect.

No disrespect intended, and I'm not getting on your case, but maybe you get negative comments because of what could be the real purpose of the post? Unless you're just angry about the Prime and wanting to blow off steam, but then there are multiple threads all over the net for that, why post that you're getting rid of it? I'm a phone junkie, and figure a way to upgrade every year, even by buying outright off of Craigslist or eBay, but I don't post every time I move from one device to another. Why would I? I'm just curious why the Prime seems to get so many posts like this.

I normally see goodbye/thank you dev posts and thought it would add closure to the sale of it. It honestly just didn't meet my needs. Yes it had issues but depending on your use case you may or may not have ever noticed/cared. I'm a phone/tablet/PC/any gadget junkie myself as well and don't normally ever part with my devices (I have a very nice collection going). This one was an exception as I'm just not going to have any uses for it and never was attached to it like most others I have owned. I didn't mean to make a stir honestly and maybe my original post was negative. I didn't mean it to be that way but perception is everything so I changed it.

Ok, I can understand a bit more then. You don't normally get rid of your devices and since this is an abnormal experience for you, sort of a closure then. I get it. Thanks for sharing.

I feel bad for you if this POS is the best Android device you've ever owned. What others have you owned? I'm guessing it was the Samsung Continuum and nothing else. Maybe I'm spoiled because all of my other Android devices are Nexus devices, but the TF201 is an embarrassment to android.
Hi all,
Just thought I'd come and introduce myself to this part of the forum
I just ordered a prime... I currently have a good old trusty Motorola Xoom which was starting to get to me because of the weight and thickness.
I was going to go for an Infinity but it's out of my price range. Looking forward to getting my hands on the Prime and rooting it... currently have my Xoom rooted and running EOS jelly bean.

If infinite is out of price range. The I would recommend the tf300 instead.

What? why? you just shot yourself in the foot. People are selling and exchanging primes left and right. Be prepared to spend good chunk of time on troubleshooting. Best of luck and hope u have a functional unit (if such a prime exists)
I just bought one over a week ago and think its great. $399 new at office depot Dock is $99 (in store only)
Apparently my happiness i abnormal?! Welcome to the forum!
Welcome. But I have to say why too man.
haha, this has to be a troll. no one would make that mistake today

What is the significance of "today" that makes it a mistake over any other day?
Welcome to the tfp section! I hope you enjoy your prime as i have mine. Don't get twisted over all the negative stuff here. there are some people that seem to have issues but there are many that are very happy with it. Zero problems for me. I hope your experience is as good as mine.
Yeah people are ridiculously negative on here. Haven't had it long, but have had zero problems. Love it so far

Maybe people are negative because they are fed up with all the issues with a $500 device. Maybe the new ones are better since asus had us (the early users) to beta test it for 10 months.

I thought the Prime was slightly better than the TF300, brighter screen better clocking speeds? I've read some negative things about it but also some good things... now I am really stuck and unsure which one to get

Well I've cancelled my order, going to take a trip to town today and have another look at both.

There were some bad apples, i have my prime since January 2012 and i've been very satisfied ever since i got it. And now with JellyBean its totally awesome.
I love my prime, had to go through 5 before I got a good one. Mainly screen issues but I love it!

Welcome aboard. Try and ignore all the negative comments. It's the same with any device - you only hear the people that have issues because most that have no issues don't seek out forums for help. I have had one or two problems but for me the good outweighed the bad and now with JB the Prime is even better. I would have my Prime with keyboard dock over any other tablet out there as it looks and feels great and does everything I want it to do and more.
When you get yours, set up your gmail and wireless, check for and download the update and let the Prime do it's thing, then do a reset so the system is fresh and then install you apps and enjoy. Hopefully you will have a good experience and enjoy your Prime as much as many others do
