"This product will be in stock on Friday 13 April, 2007."

I emailed the guy at egadgetsdepot.com and he says they are in stock ready to ship out. I'm ordering 3 right now for overnight shipping to arrive here by Tuesday. I'll let you guys know.
Well, he's probably out of stock now, then. I ordered one at 08:14pm, and if ltxda, just ordered 3 (I think with something this hot, it should be 1/customer) that takes up the 4 he had left that he communicated to me exactly 55 minutes ago.

I can't wait than for Tuesday to hear if you got your device.
I'm very impressed with Stan over at E-gadget Depot. He already sent me the UPS tracking number to ship on Monday with Next Day Air. Too bad my UPS guy always comes in the evening At least I'll finally have it on Tuesday. It seems like I've been waiting forever! I'll let you all know when it shows up.
Don't forget to put some info today about your Advantage
I'm olaying with my one right now. Just oicked it up from inkino on tcr. Laptop? that's for children..
Tell me what do you think of build quality of your Advantage?
GOT IT!!!
I got my Advantage/x7500. Came in on Tuesday like Stan promised. They are great at EGadgetDepot.com.
I already have TomTom working on it with a bunch of other software. Only warning I can tell you is DO NOT install the GPRS Monitor that comes on the utility CD. It kept locking up my device.
I'm looking for some desktop enhancements but can't find the post. Anyone can direct me to it?
Also, someone wanted some graphics off of this thing. If you tell me which one you want and how to get it I'll gladly post it up for you.
One more thing...Since I'm in the US and use TMobile, I had to change the band on the phone for it to work. In case anyone runs into this. I initially thought it was my SIM but it was just the band setting.

I don't see any problems with the build quality. I keep wanting to wash my hands because the black glossy keeps picking up my finger prints.

when you say desktop enhancement, what do you mean? please explain a bit more what you want so the rest of us and help you out. btw, welcome to the Athena Family.
As for the black glossy finish, it's one of the thing which makes me think the silver one is better, it just way too easy to get your finger prints on, but at least for silver one, it not visible. Well i guess that is the price you have to pay if you want the sexy black look, just like lots of mobile out here, easy to get finger print one, but people still love it. Just Advantage is quite big, so more easy to get finger prints on and easier for people to see it as well.

I saw a post a while back that had software which allowed you to change the look of the desktop. The "Start" menu looked more like the WinXP Start menu and it allowed you to make the Today screen look MUCH MUCH better. I'm still searching because it was within one of the forums on this site. Annoying when I can't find what I'm looking for.
Oh...and thank you for the welcome. Glad to be part of the new family! This phone is AWESOME!!!

There are lots of software out there which makes your Today screen looks nice, for changing the start bar: use Wisbar Advance, for today screen, use iLauncher or SPB Pocket Plus, and Pocket Breeze.

Thanks...will look into these ad let you know if any of them was what I previously saw.
Unfortunately I'm moving away from the Photon, so will be discontinuing the guides. I'll poke my head in once and awhile and update any pertinent info. Time to pass on the torch...someone should begin another and request it stickied.
I enjoyed the MoPho...but one month after release it's way too quiet in here for me. I crave flashing goodness...and hear only crickets. I will be picking up the SGSII when it hits, and look forward to seeing some of you over there!
Thanks to Yay, Edgan, Kenneth, DCour, Baller, Mikey and others that have taken a stab at this great phone!
Good luck on your next phone. For me I am pretty pleased with how well this phone works stock. The two things I wanted in particular (root and webtop) were achieved amazingly quickly. While I look forward to a sexy fast custom rom with all the bells and whistles (and rock solid stability). I can wait for that, I am more then satisfied that the Photon has lived up to the hype. It's the first time a smart phone has done that for me.

Yeah today was last day of 30 days...so I cancelled the line, started a new one with a Nexus S on it, and will swap for the SGSII when it comes along (rumor is 9/9/2011).
Thanks for the kind words DJ!!

You know that you are allowed to switch it out 3 times which resets your 30 days every time right? guess its too late now but yes you are allowed to do that. That's what I did. they just swap you out a new photon and reset your 30 days. lol I loved it. Does help to have a good guy at sprint to deal with also
But like I said bud, good luck and you are very welcome.
I may do the same thing. I have my girl and her mom on my account I may just give my girl the Photon and use her mom's upgrade on the SGSII. Will see how it goes first though. Really like the Photon, it has a **** ton of potential! Really too bad Motorola can't get their head out of their ass and realize that's what keeps a majority of us around.
Take care o/

This is rather disappointing. It's only quiet in here because the phone is still so young, bootloader was only recently unlocked. As soon as all the hardcore HTC fans start to realize this phone blows both Evo's out of the water, this place will be booming. Even if not, we have some very talented developers making feature rich stable roms. I was a flashaholic as well, but especially on phones such as the Evo well over half of the roms are just plain rubbish and aren't worth flashing. I'd hate to see that happen to the Photon and then deal with all of the people complaining that the phone doesn't work when they just loaded up half-functional software ripped from quality roms by a 12 year old.
Either way, hopefully you'll come back to this phone when we learn what major flaw the latest/greatest Samsung has. I gave up on them after all of their Android devices had major recurring defects, ones that I still see today in my tech centers. Moment/Intercept/Transform had way too little internal memory and the processor wore out quickly. Epic/Captivate/Vibrant all had borked GPS and suffered from random locking up/reboots. Nexus S 4G has terrible signal quality and terrible battery life. Replenish has been their worst yet, charging port shorts out causing it to say it's charging when it isn't and has gotten so hot that I've actually seen them brought in with melted LCD panels and it burnt the customer upon picking it up. I don't know how Samsung has avoided a lawsuit on that one. As for myself, I will not be picking up another Samsung device regardless of how amazing the specs look on paper. They can't seem to get their products fully functional.

I agree completely. I was just looking at the SGS2 reviews and whatnot for the last hour or so. I honestly think the photon already has beat it. I remember my first Samsung phone from ATT, I forget what it was even called actually. I'm sure I could look it up but it was like almost a smartphone. I mean it was, but there was no market or anything and it was just what it was.
I will be staying here unless there is just no action moving forward. But I don't see that happening because like you said this is a great phone and we have only begun to unlock the powers it has, I cannot wait to see numbers when we have a proper kernel source and a proper kernel made for us. Stock my phone has hit over 2500 in Quadrant and I know other people have gotten higher. In Linpack it is hitting higher than some of the highest numbers ever recorded for linpack. So I really can't wait to see what this thing has when it is fully unleashed! It still is just the beginning.

Thanks for your contribution to the Photon. Enjoy whatever device you end up with.
Hey Guys, Make sure you stop by the #Asus-Transformer IRC channel. We were going to create a separate channel for the prime but figured since we already have a well established room with a lot of devs, themers and "powerusers" we would just keep it one channel for now
If things get too confusing we will open the other channel specifically for the prime but for now we thought it would be best to have everyone going to one place.
So Make sure you guys stop by #asus-transformer on freenode irc
You can use a client or go to http://webchat.freenode.net
HEY!

They will probably will just end up paying royalties.
original prime is being released on few weeks here, just popped up for pre orders.
But i spotted this on
http://androidcommunity.com/asus-re...s-1920x1200-display-and-new-chassis-20120109/
So I'm not going to get the current prime. Also im waiting for a stylus enabled tegra 3 lenovo tablet, one came out but without stylus :/.
I want my tablet in couple months. but its going to take a while before the improved prime comes here. Asus just lost my interest in the original prime. If nothing interesting wont show up @ ces, i suppose i have to wait for the new prime.
Oh this is a really good idea!
+ 1
Come to #Asus-Transformer to discuss the primeArrow
that's an appreciable idea.
Lol at Hasboro suing them, I kinda thought something would come of it.
Why? What did they pinch?
Shoot, picking up my prime 2moro, just found 1 store an Ma. that has the grey 32Gb in stock. I feel like a little kid right before xmas. Thanks Mr. Taxman!

Ill be picking up my 3rd tomorrow as well lol! I returned mine today thinking i would not miss it. Boy was i wrong, it took a little bit of prying from my hand at the return desk lol. I had a little bit of screen bleed about one or two reboots per day but pretty good wifi but no GPS. I thought i would not miss it. Boy was i wrong!
Its been not even 24hrs and im hunting one down! My gf says she knew i would , that its a sickness or a challange for me hahaha!
I knew i was making a mistake when i laid down a extra several hundred dollars at BB last night for a ultra book. YUCK! I told her look at it this way even when i get my Prime & the dock again we will be saving $300 bucks. Its a win win haha!
Prime Time!
I finally got my Prime Rooted and now I'm eagerly waiting for some cool custom firmware.
I've never posted anything here but have used the site for quite some time...
Anyway, I ended up bricking my TFP this morning by messing something up when reinstalling CM9... I got stuck in a fastboot loop that was maddening!
Bumble-Bee on #asus-transformer helped me out big time and we were able to fix the problem. Ended up flashing a custom CWM.blob directly to boot.img and viola!
I was gonna post this on the BRICK topic in the Dev forum but i dont have enough posts yet lol
Yes, finally got my prime rooted and overclocked at 1.6ghz. Antutu you're mine!
yep yep got it unlocked and rom'd and OC'd to 1.6
my antutu was 13210
damn this thing is fast.....lol
I had a TFP for a few days, it was very good but suffered from poor build quality the gps didn't work and there was light bleed bottom right hand corner, surffice to say i sent it back for a refund.

I'm in the same situation. What did you do that got it running again? My issue is that I can't get my computer (Windows 7-64bit) to recognize the device in fastboot.
Hey guys, so this is just a little video I put together about the history of the prime!
I have a feeling that it should settle most of the flame wars. The bottom line is, although it is the best tablet out, I can't recommend it because of the "lottery" quality control asus has.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVWjrbFwP0
Enjoy
Looking forward to part2
It's actually a very good and well done piece, IMHO.
It's good that this gets more mileage for Asus to really move its butt (not that they haven't, but they could do more).
You should have also mentioned the fact there still a lot of devices out there that exhibit none of the prevalent issues, as well as a lot of customers who are satisfied despite the issues (just to balance things a bit).
But, overall, as I've mentioned, it's a good piece.
Although it seems more than a few are wondering how Gary would feel about this Greg person you mentioned.

Sorry dude. I was searching for recent Asus Prime video. I don't have 1 yet but getting 1 soon. I wanted to share what I found because your video is right on to the point. A lot of people were hipped about this tablet but once they become owners all you read now is negative.
Update your first post when Review 2 is up. I'm hoping for in-depth review.
I liked the video, was right to the point and informative. I learned a lot about the Tegra 3 that I didn't know before. (I kinda jumped into the Prime without doing much research)
I haven't really had any issues w/ my Prime. GPS is weak compared with my Xoom, but works good enough. Wifi is also right on par w/ the Xoom. Been rooted and overclocked since I got it, and really its only shutoff once. (during a file transfer, kind of annoying)
Overall, its the best Android tablet I've used. (I've used quite a few)
Nice video. When can we expect PART 2 (full review)? Will Part 3 include the mods for WiFi and GPS?
Enjoyed your video. I'm really looking forward to Part 2.
Keep up the good work....

My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.
I'm picking donation for a new TF700, tax exempt.
Cheers.

Dude! omg, it's a brilliant idea, I didn't think about it, I might scoop some clams as a down payment for my future TF700.
So, if any xda members wanna buy fully working prime parts, I'm offering a spring-discount special for xda members only
otherwise I'll list the parts on ebay.
Thanks for the idea mate.

I can think of a few words I might have used and Yetti was not one of them

Unfortunately I don't have one.
btw, would it cover reckless-child accidents? I know if a lightning would have struck my prime or a flood or something, it would, though I don't think "my child freesbeed it to the wall" would'nt count (that is, if I'll tell the insurance lady the truth).

No one has ever considered such a bad thing to do .....
No one would ever recommend such a devious action, i sure wouldnt dream about doing such a terrible thing.

@op ...
You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.
