Hey all, just another post about the dock... anyways, i stopped by my local office depot today and picked up my dock. it was the last one, but just thought id share this info with you. So anyway stop by your local office depot and check if they have one, and maybe, just maybe they'll have a couple in stock. btw, im posting this using my new dock! I think im in love!
I stopped by my office depot and picked one up as well.. last one as well..
I got mine at BB today, apparently one came in on the truck last night. BB gets stock every Thursday the kid working there told me.
Make sure to tell people which color they have.
As a champagne user it was very frustrating reading post like this knowing that it was probably a gray, but still holding out hope that it might not be.
What color was the the dock at office depot?

Went by my local Office Depot (San Angelo, Texas) today and they had the gray dock in stock. Unfortunately, I have the Champagne
On another note, Bestbuy HAD it in stock earlier today, but it sold out before I got there. Additionally, they are now carrying the prime in store.

Yes mine was the grey, I asked the guy and he said they haven't seen any champagnes at all yet, might be safe to assume unless you specifically find a champagne, all BB shipments will be grey.
Fry's in my area had 8 champagne docks yesterday but no gray.
Just picked up 2x docks from a local Best Buy and they had 2x left over. (All Gray)
i have gray so i did not look for champagne... also the prime is not available in any store in south Florida as far as i can tell.. so makes it harder to know who would carry what..
at the two best buys closest to me they had about 30 gold prime keyboards 0 grey keyboards 0 primes i asked the guy to see why they only had gold docks, he said we get what they give us
they had a grey prime on display for you to play with aswell, with a sign saying "coming soon, asus transformer prime" with some nvidia advertisements

Has anyone been to gamestop today to check to see if they have the Prime available to play with? If so, what are your thoughts?
No but I'm sure you could call them and ask instead of wasting gas...

Just a heads up, not all GameStops sell Tablets and because of that not all GameStops will be displaying and/or selling the Prime. If you go to GameStop you can use the tablet section to find locations that are actually tablet stores and they will most likely have the Prime for display. Hope that helps stop people from running around town looking to check one out only to be disappointed.
I understand it's not available at all Gamestop stores, I was just trying to see if anyone has played with one yet. I am stuck at work all day and haven't been able to go to one yet. So has anyone played with one, if so what are your thoughts?

Ok np, I just wanted to point that out, as this is the internet and some people may have read that and not be aware of the fact that not all locations carry them. I personally would but I honestly don't feel like driving to the nearest one which is about 20 miles just to check it out. I will be patient. There is another thread where someone purchased a unit from GameStop, so if they are receiving their units other retailers are as well so it's only a matter of time before they start shipping for pre-orders. I'm personally hoping my Newegg order ships this week.

I called my local ones that are listed and 2 out of 3 have it in stock. One of them already has them a full stock of the Asus in the store, but won't sell them until the 19th. Another store that didn't have the demo said they will be getting the demo plus the rest of there stock in by Thursday, but also won't be selling it till the 19th as well. I wonder how he was able to buy one right away. I think I might try and get one in store if mine doesn't ship by the 19th.
GameStop near me had one in stock.
I was the first one in the door when they opened.
The manager did not seem to know the one he had was a demo.
He sold it to me with a pickup date when it could be 'released'.
I was surprised he seemed clueless that it was a Demo only.
I would really rather have the 64GB version I have on pre-order but with all the turmoil over supply issues I decided to lock it in while I could. I can always sell it on Ebay if the 64GB comes in.
i went in a played with it but he woudnt sell me one

The gamestop 75miles away from me has a 32gb champagne gold (purple) one & believe me i have no problem making that drive & getting it in that color either lol.
gamestop related: i noticed they removed availability online for the prime as well as the games that came on the device.. that area is now blank.. wish there was more information on gamestop.com
So is this so called "purple" Prime ugly? because the color "purple" is a better fit for grandma or my mum...
So let me get this right.. I can walk into a gamestop (assuming they have the prime demo and stock..) And pay like $5 to reserve one that I can then pick up on the 19th? If so I may aswell just cancel my pre-order and not have to pay shipping and not have to wait an extra day fir it to get shipped...
Anyone have any information about this?

Just got off the phone at my local Gamestop. Looks like they are taking pre-orders in store! Going tomorrow for sure to lock one down. I will for sure cancel order online once done.

So only $5 needed to put down to reserve one? If so, I'm going to do that also asap..lol
So what about the looks of the purple? Is it all decepticon style or what? That is really good news that they are taking pre-orders in store.. If that means I can walk in on the 19th and pick up my decepticon prime then I may just have to do that ASAP!
i dont mind the purple.. just gonna get this... carbon fiber and screen protector. screen protector for smudge prevention ofcourse. no smudges for me!

Ordered mine from Office Depot yesterday. Called to verify (1/12 4:45pm est) they truly had some in and was told at that time they had 37 in the warehouse. However, she could not tell me a color, lol. No matter where she went on her computer it wasn't listed. It made me nervous as I already have the Dock sitting here until I checked "Product Details" and it is model TF201-B-GR. I feel better. Not 100% but at lest 85% I'm getting the correct color. Order shipped and I should have it Tuesday.
Too new here to post links but go to Officedepot and search item number 906853 (Still in stock atm.)
I was lucky to find it as NowInStock.net still has it listed as PreOrder.

There are some FRYs Electronics stores that have few of them in stock in the back room. You can have an employee look up the SKU and they should be able to tell you whether they *actually* have them in stock there.
I know many of you have been on the hunt for the keyboard dock.
Well, if you still are, then I suggest you runs down to your local Office Depot, as I was able to locate them in at least 3 of my local stores.
Most have received the docks within the past 2-3 days. Good luck!

I ordered one from Best Buy online two days ago and even though it said it wouldn't ship until 1/31-2/14 I received a tracking # today!
Awesome, just made the phone call, on my way to pick it up!
Same with paradismo. Ordered my dock from best buy 2 days ago but got my tracking number today. Will probably get it next week :thumbup:
Edit: got shipped tonight and will get it tomorrow!

Thanks, OP.
This post made me check my local office depot.. and they had primes AND docks.. grabbed a dock this morning.
Great investment so far.
Thanks for the tip! I called my local Office Depot this morning, and they had one waiting for me when I showed up! They said they only had the one, but that it was getting restocked fairly regularly. The TF201 dock does not show up in search on their website when I looked by name, only when you search by item number (941611), or you can just call the store and ask them to look for it by that item number.
Ordered from Best buy, it wss backordered till Feb 15th or something. It was two days ago. Arrived today, didnt even get email confirming shipping. This is crazy. Im happy, keyboard works fine but the battery was depleted. Charging now.
These are all Amethyst docks you guys are finding right? Any luck with Champagne docks at Office Depot or Best Buy?

Yes. At one of the Office Depots I visited, they had received both versions. It's worth a try if you are looking for the champagne version.

Sweet. I'm going to stop by tomorrow. Thanks.
I got mine off eBay and its perfect. The colours may not match and there might be Taiwanese characters on my keyboard, but it works flawlessly and i'm loving the usb port (purple colour dock)

I just was able to buy a dock from the local bestbuy with in-store pickup! Check your local best buys, they have them! ( I'm in Northern California)
I called several Office Depots and the ones that actually had one in stock only had Grey.
Just picked up mine from a Best Buy here in Denver.
i'm hoping someone around the area might be able to point me to the right direction. live in vancouver canada, and heading down to bellvue washington next weekend. im hoping to get a ASUS Eeepad Transformer Prime TF201 Keyboard Champagne color.
any suggestion where i can start looking that i may have better luck of finding one?
Thanks
I had my Prime and the keyboard ordered from Amazon on the same order. I finally got tired of waiting so long and deleted the keyboard from my order yesterday. Today they're showing a HUMONGOUS improvement on my shipping estimate for the Prime, but now I've nowhere to get a dock!
Lol, I think I'll be happy at least getting my Prime in, but now that I deleted the dock I don't see it anywhere. I'm in the US, if that matters. Have all retailers just completely dropped the product-line?
I was able to buy my TFP from officedepot.com a week ago, and it came in 3 days. I ordered my dock from bestbuy.com, had them ship to store this week, and I got it in 3 days.... I don't see why its been so hard for others to get them... Im in the US, Northern California to be exact.
Check frys.com , I think they have one in bellingham, not sure though...
Sent from my Galaxy S2
Best Buy currently has them.
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/accessories/
Thanks! I'll wait until the tablet actually gets here (curse Amazon) and then order the same day. Hopefully they'll still have them >.> Frys it is.
Guess the major online retailers just jumped ship then? Consider BB brick&mortar and we've none nearby.
I ordered a keyboard dock the day after Christmas for Amazon and it still says ships between 1st and 15th of February. It's funny how Best Buy keeps getting them in but Amazon is so slow. They must have sold a ton of pre-orders. I'd switch to someplace else but I paid for most of it with Amazon Gift Cards from Christmas.
So I was at my local Fry's electronics (Fountain Valley, CA), they had all three on display (101, 201, 300) w/docs. Got to play with them a bit, it was a little busy there.
I have to say side by side the TFP shinned above the others in looks. I have a buddy in AZ that has the 101 so I already spent sometime comparing ours side by side. This was the first 300 I had seen and the display was not nearly as nice as the 201. I did not care for the plastic back either (I know why they did it, I am just saying the metal back gives it a better feel).
So if you have a local Fry's store and want to see all 3 side by side, go by and check the out. I just wish they had them on the wifi so you could do some more testing with browsers and such. I had to use my Evo 4G hotspot for internet. These stores need to get a clue on what to use to sell things.
Good to hear.
When I was in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, they only had the 101 in stock, the 201 was nowhere to be seen and the 300 was just about to be released. Nobody in-store knew when they'd get the prime back in stock, and one guy even said the prime was being phased out in favor of the 300...
A colleague of mine wanting to buy the 300 on release date went by the store and none of them even knew it was supposed to go on sale that day. He did manage to buy one though as they found it in their system, correct price and release date. No idea if Asus or fry's were to blame over the "botched" release, but there's room for improvement, that's for sure. Here's hoping they can keep the Prime (and Infinity) in stock so people can actually buy them now...
