Found 2, should I buy? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Sorry to bother you guys but i need to know, im tore weather i should try and snag one now and risk defects or wait 6 months for the next one.
The prime was going to be my first tablet but thinking it might be better to wait for the new version, id like to hear from both owners and potential buyers. Not sure how long i have before somone buys them before me lol. Thank in advance.

Go for it!
When I got mine, the screen was damaged, but I don't blame ASUS. I blame Best Buy because their cheap a$$ sent it in a white plastic bag relying on the retail box for protection.
I was very happy with it when it worked. A new one is on its way.
You can't go wrong! The dock just completes it as well. I can't wait for mine to come back!

Go for it IMO. Its my first tablet as well and I am loving it. I wouldn't want to wait 6 months for one , as only 6 more months or even less than that tegra4 tablets will have ETAs.

By the way, Gamestop says they can ship within 24 hours. It comes w/ a game controller, apparently.

i was bit concerned too, after reading these forums for a few days; but i decided to give it a go, cause ive been waiting for TFP for long time. Now i have it ordered and looking forward to get it on monday (grey 32gig with dock).

---

Go for it!! It's a great first Tab!!!

---

Ok guys thanks for the advice, I have them holding one for me ill pick it up in a hour or so hopefully all checks out.

let us know how you like it.

Well I just got mine and had it for two days and I really enjoy it, my model has the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issue but I am sure that will be fixed by Asus for current and future models, other than that this thing is amazing. If you get it now you will not be disappointed and if you wait for the new model... well you still won't be disappointed lol so its up to you to take the chances.
Edit: woops, guess I was too late to help in the decision making process lol, good luck with your new device.

Consider picking up a champagne tab and grey dock. The combination is really nice.

---

This is my first tab as well and i am more than happy with it, I tether to my evo3d 4G so I don't notice WiFi issues...I was going to buy a gtab 10.1 and I'm sooo glad I found this instead... Let us know what u think when u get it

if i can find one anywhere I know B&H had it but I wasn't able to buy one while they were still on sale. now i'm contemplating forking over $40 extra for a BT controller at gamestop but that's the grey version :-\

2 Fry's in Houston are supposed to have 64GB in stock... I just hate having to play full price + tax when I have my pre order on Amazon still for only $300... just wish I had some info on when Amazon is getting their next shipment.

I received mine today, and it unfortunately suffers from all of the reported issues. Wifi was shoddy (practically non-existent with BT on), and I'm no more than 15 Feet away from my router anywhere in my house. My GPS didn't lock on ANY satellites, and even the Wifi assist didn't seem to be working correctly. And the one speaker on the back is... annoying to say the least (a feature I didn't think would bug me as much as it did).
My specific unit also has some pretty bad light bleed on the right-hand side, and the force feedback quacks like a duck. I also find it very scary that all of the ports on this tablet were designed so that the plugs are exposed, and the Micro-SD card overhang is completely unacceptable. My unit also suffers from random lock-ups and restarts.
I did have one of the units with a good camera and auto-focus worked correctly. The aluminum back is gorgeous, the graphics currently (key word) cannot be matched on any other android tablet, and aside from the light bleed, the display is very pretty; Crisp, clean and bright.
I'm still very disappointed overall. There are many quirks to this tablet that prevent it from being worth the asking price, and I think anyone who says these issues are acceptable is hiding their own disappointment due to the long wait for this supposed-to-be Android pioneer to launch.
It's beautiful, but these glaring 100%-avoidable issues should not be shrugged off, and shouldn't have been shrugged off by the mainstream media.
I would personally recommend waiting for the 700T or another upcoming Tegra 3 tablet.
