Just a poll to see where people in the UK have got their TouchPad's from.
EDIT: If you choose Somewhere else please list it in the thread. Thanks!
I've voted under Play.com - but order went through at full price of £349
don't know whether they are now sold out at full price
and don't know whether I'd be able to argue them down to reduced price once it arrives, or whether I'll have to return it.
I'm not keeping at at £260 more than everyone else!!
I'm a 'Somewhere Else'
Today I got my 32Gb for £115 inc VAT through work. Luckily for me I work for a Trade Only IT disti. It's coming on the lorry Thursday, with a hundred or so others for all the guys and gals here (at the office). TouchPad's will outnumber iPads here
Looking forward to this...
Staples online, and had phone call to confirm it (they are doing fraud checks on all orders apparently, and I got my confirmation after the call)

As I said, UK only. Sorry.
I can't add or change the options anyway
I bought over the phone from Carphone Warehouse, so I had to vote "other".
Work for a distributor and they put 50 of each aside in our office for people to buy. Went pretty sharply!
....waiting on the Pre 3 now *wink* *wink*
what a well designed poll when most people are "other"
wow only 21 people have got one?
Voters: 21
Just got one from Argos. Really nice tablet, want to overclock it straight away.

Yeah I know . I've been playing around with it for 30 minutes and it's a steal at this price. Not worth £350 though. I heard HP were getting another batch in, so I'd be surprised if everyone who wanted one didn't get one. The IPS panel really is beautiful.
Hope you all get one soon.
got mine from comet £89 got email plus a call confirming a september 5th delivary
Insight UK, got 4 for work n play! Only 90 quid each for 16GB ones!!
Just hoping touchdroid or android player comes reality!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Managed to get mine from carphone warehouse, they had already sold out but I persuaded them to locate a couple for me. Received them today, very happy with it so far, the touchpad has massive potential.
edit: argos told me they still have stock left iin their warehouse
Staples uk has dispatched mine.
Mine shipped from Amazon themselves this afternoon. It`s a 32Gb one and still at £429.99 so might yet go back. Was ordered 10.30pm Monday got a "We know about the pricing. You`ll have to wait and see in 3-5 days for an answer."
reply to my email
happy enough to say I (almost) have one now from play.com - after the mega headache of 'wont drop the price' saga.
it should arrive tomorrow...
Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning
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.

Yea exactly, I totally believe Amazon just wanted to screw you...
They want to annoy their customers... That's what all big companies want to do!
Ever thought about Amazon just got screwed by Asus?

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?
Just got a dock (grey) on CDW for 122.99 with immediate shipping. Enjoy

No link?
10 charsss
I saw Availability: Call
sold out already
Curious as to why this never popped up on nowinstock.com. hmmmm. I wouldn't have ordered anywayz cause I got a bunch of BB giftcards for Christmas but still kind of odd to me. Also, sorry about my first post OP you posted the link after I opened the thread so it didn't update until after I posted about the link.
Seeing this got me excited that they might have the actual tablet in stock so I called to check and they are the same as everywhere else, back ordered and won't be getting any in for new orders until the end of January.
Yes they are sold out, and when I called I was told the eta of the next shipment is late Jan
well damnit...i placed an order online....let's see what the email says. I doubt I will have any different luck than you guys...
CDW.ca says 3 to 6 business days, so I paced an order. Then again, they say that for the actual prime, so we'll see.
Not only is this no good deal after tax and shipping but it will not ship till late jan at the earliest
Don't know what to tell you guys...I got an email saying it shipped...I have a UPS tracking number and everything. Will update you if i get anything else saying canceled...for now, it is scheduled to deliver to be this Friday....keeping my fingers crossed
Well, it's started. I see the first one available on ebay in the US.

First-world problems
Interesting... I put my order in at CDW for a "Champagne Gold" (looks aluminum-colored, aka silvery white-grey, to me) 32GB Transformer Prime and dock on 12/2, and was initially told by my account manager that the tablet was backordered until Feb. 1st, and the dock was backordered until Jan. 3rd. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the tablet last Friday, but the dock is now listed as backordered until Jan. 25th.
Gah, just as I was typing this, one of the accountants stopped by with a an asset tag (a sticker that has to be placed on all company property valued at over $100) that I had to put on the back of my tablet. The concentric brushed metal pattern is ruined! Oh Transformer, what man would want you now?!?
I made an offer, but he will probably say no cause I am not paying $300 for a $150 dock lol
Why don't you guys just pre-order from Gamestop.com, that's what I did.
I wouldn't dare waste time on ebay when dealing something as precious as this.
old used video game sure, but brand new tablet accessory that's a hot seller. Ebay is too risky.

Looks like someone beat you to the punch and just bought it.
I own a Transformer Prime, do you?

$300.... for something that is $150 retail....
People have too much money.
I offered $185, seemed reasonable to me, but I got declined lol.
I just got my dock from newegg today. totally worth it. I can actually be quick and productive on this thing now.
I do agree with engadget's complaint about how the trackpad doesn't "shut off" while typing. Seems like it'd be an easy firmware fix though. Was that ever "fixed" with the first Transformer?
I checked the Canadian thread and i was pointed towards FS and BB. I would love to maybe get some inside tips as to where else should be getting some in stock at anytime. Hell if theres some in stock right now, ill drop trow.
When I pre-ordered from NCIX on the 23rd, the sales rep told me they were getting stock in the first week of January. I cancelled it because I have one from BB.

isn't most retailers claiming this though?
how is this just not another promised release date like the 19th or 22nd or w/e
yea, i called them and they said it isnt a hard release date.
drrr i guess lol
for the Prime right now as far as Best Buy goes, it's a online only product. There haven't been enough tablets shipped from ASUS yet for them to fill the brick and mortar stores with them.
Yep ridiculous. Sony or Samsung would never make a launch as tacky as this but this is ASUS.
I get mines Tuesday, I really hope I'm not disappointed.
I thought Newegg was a big Asus dealer? Way it sounds, I am assuming not.
I have been told that they were receiving shipments on December 27 for pre-orders. Then it was pushed to today. Now I am being told that within the next two business weeks, they will be receiving confirmation of when they will receive more.
I guess on the bright side, no one else is getting them either, but doesn't sound like NE got that many to begin with.
Today mine got to the office depot warehouse after ordering on the 20th. 1/5 delivery date. I had been checking up on new egg as well and they never have any updates.

They still haven't shipped the Grey ones that said 12/27???
That really sucks... I'm glad I canceled and was able to get the champagne one through them

According to them for circumstances beyond their control, they never got them. They will know within 2 weeks when they supposed to get more.
The only reason I am sticking with Newegg is I have a $300 and some change credit.
I might the bullet and pre-order somewhere else and play the waiting game
Newegg is so clueless!
Preordered the Prime on 12/07, 32G Grey.
Was first told Dec 27, they would have some to ship for preorders. Was then told January 3.
I called them today and was told that they will have confirmation of receiving more within next two weeks.
Hung up the phone and went to Newegg less than 5 minutes after my call and low and behold the 32G grey and champagne was in stock ready to order. And they had a limited offer of a free Asus Carrying case as well.
Ordered and have been charged and is currently in packaging status.
I am pissed because the preorder people have been hung out to dry. Should not be able to just go to site and order if preorders have not been fulfilled.
Did anyone else get a free carrying case as well? My order doesn't show it, but it was there and I will raise hell if I don't get it after what we have been through.
