Looks like already out of stock online. Went quick.
Just go to nowinstock.net
It was easy to find my second prime for my wife.
Took a day of looking and I got an email for tiger direct having them in stock.
You dont have to sign up tho.. just go and click the transformer prime tracker they already have set up.

Amazing. Was only in stock for about 2 hours. Why is everyone still buying these when there clearly is a problem with the Wifi/BT system? I don't get it.
San Rafael CA Best Buy has a few TFP and docks in stock right now. Just got to ask them to dig as they are mixed in with the original Transformers.

No problem with my WiFi or Bluetooth and I would assume the vast majority are fine.

So I just returned my prime to best buy because of some minor problems. If they had one to exchange I probably wouldn't be making this post. But now that they aren't really in stock anywhere I may just wait for the iPad 3. Now I'm really not trying to troll or anything but do you guys think I should wait? Or just tell me I'm being stupid and should come to my senses.
After using an Android tablet and then going back to an iPad 2, I hated how limited it felt in comparison.

You're being stupid and should come to your senses.
Considering you said you returned it for minor issues, I wouldn't get another one.

My thoughts exactly - the Prime is definitely not the tablet to get if you're a perfectionist...

But then he will need to wait another 4-6 months.. I don't think he is going to do that if he is considering an iPad 3 which comes out earlier anyway.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Android tablet and iPad. One is for grown ups, while other is for kids who do not know any better or for people who think that getting "BT Transfer" in latest OS update is the latest feature in mobile world

There should be quite a few 1080p tabs to choose from in the coming months.
Ive got a Prime also and far from impressed main issue for me is poor wifi which is useless for my intended use of travelling.

how about you act like an adult and make a decision?
i'm getting really tired of this "living by comittee" lifestyle that people are starting to adopt.
purchasing something as frivalous as a tablet comes down to a very unique (to the purchaser/user) set of critera as to what they should buy and what they consider value for their dollar.
if there were still any hidden mysteries as to what this particular tablet brings (in both the good and bad) to the table, i would be more compassionate towards the question of the OP, but the pros and cons of this tablet have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum, if one cannot make up their mind at this point on their own by reading, then no one can help them.

Which? Tell me. It will really take some time before they are actually available in the stores. And if you want some quality tablet you would not want to go with Acer. Lenovo is overpriced. Samsung, Asus, Apple are the one's who make the best tablets in my eyes.
And no, I don't had any of those WiFi/GPS/BT issue's with my Prime so I also put Asus there because with my tablet it was very solid build, had a good feel etc. etc. Same for the TF101.
I had to return mine to best buy because it was stuck in the ICS rebooting loop. I just ordered another one today from office dept. If ICS and wifi work and there are no screen issues I'm keeping it.

Absolutely correct. There is definitely a reason business, major medical institutions, educational institutions and the U.S. military have contracts in place with Apple.

I would go for the Transformer Prime TF700T in Q2 if WiFi and GPS will be better as that is what the Prime should have been.

Somehow I doubt a lot would regret waiting the few months for one that does get addressed properly compared to the one that doesn't due to its design.
I dont care if you return it,keep it or get something else. Im sick of dumb posts like this cluttering up the forum.

How exactly does this help the problems persisting in many of the Transformer Primes? (Note my Wifi/BT is working perfectly)

cloud5 already beat you to it. this morning I think..lol. you do keep the news coming though. if you find any tegra4 updates, let me know
it doesn't sound all too familiar. Look at that rapid response. That's an internal Apple memo
It took how long for ASUS to acknowledge the Transformer Primes defects? all we got was a guy name Gary collecting info.
Lol...i love that the memo says "DO NOT DISCLOSE EXTERNALLY".
That tickles my fancy. The pic was taken with a galaxy nexus i believe LOOOOOOOOOOL

Looks like it's only for use with the tablet, not in conjunction with the dock.
I'll take it, I guess. Haha

You'd also need special drivers for it to support wifi i guess.
I actually like the design, thought it would get alot worse and i think i'll take one But they could have made another port on the back side somehow, so you could plug in the charging cable while the dongle is attached.

Cool thanks for link and pictures. Maybe this dongle will improve WIFI for some as well.
Well maybe this is why they wont send my RMA back they were waiting on the dongle because according to the website its been done for weeks now but they wont mail it to me and it went in for wifi and gps problems. maybe now the they will send it BACK!!
Great Article!
MIND OVER MATTER
IMHO it looks like crap...totally ruins the sleek lines of the TFP. Ill take one, but I don't see myself bothering to slap this thing on much. Would have preferred a new backplate.
Looks better than I thought it would, thanks for sharing

Won't work for me either, if TP in case.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
kind of kills the point in a transformer that can't transform after using the GPS dongle
I expect a newer case with this dongle incorporated into the design. I also hope there is a possibility of a pass thru charging port.
P.S. is Asus just giving us TFP owners this for nothing? Is there a mailing list out that we have to sign up to get it?

More information will be posted in the "Unofficial ASUS" sticky tomorrow (4/16), and a sign-up form will be available then. It's going to be free, and available to every Prime owner (at least in the US, but probably worldwide).
Lots of threads on the topic, including that main one.
Looks... beefy? Passthrough charging is almost necessary. Thats my biggest hope atm. Looks like it will fit in the mounts that are out there, too.

I'm thinking I might pass unless I sell the Prime.

After reading a bunch of reviews on the transformer prime im looking to buy one at a store around my area. Mainly im looking for c3 batch and so that if theres any problem with the unit i can easily exchange it. I tried bestbuy but theyre all out of stock. They wont give any info on when theyre going to have new stocks. Heard about rumors that they wont be selling primes anymore for different kinds of reason. Dont know if any of this is true but i dont want to be left waiting for nothing. If anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction i will gladly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for the help. They aswell are out of stock. Found out about acer iconia a510 and im loving the reviews ive been reading. I will buy this instead. This lack of stocks for the prime is prolly one of those blessings in disguise!

Check Gamestop's website. You can take a look at the stock at different local stores.
I picked up one from the Woodbridge Center Gamestop about a week and a half ago. It was a C2, though. And also be aware that I don't think you can straight-up return it for a refund if you don't like it. You can only get a replacement if it's defective, I believe. Has some decent games preinstalled, though.
Good luck.

Hi all.. I just sold my Nexus 7 on ebay because I wanted the ability to connect HDMI. Moving up, I won a bid on a Prime on Ebay, but the seller is playing nasty and I haven't received it. That being said, I'm a few days from getting my money back and am wondering if a Prime is the best way to go - after reading about a few of it's issues. Right now I can buy a refurb Prime for $299 locally, or, Sam's has a TF700 for $439. What do you guys & gals think??? Thanks for your help in making the right choice..
Still got garbage memory with lags, just like the prime. Avoid both and get a nexus.

I bought my Prime off Swappa and I don't have any of the problems that are mentioned about wifi, or lag. I have yet to play with gps as I didn't buy this for navigation. IMO, if you have the money get the Infinity. Latest and greatest and it has the abilities that you want.

Latest and greatest would be the nexus 10. I wouldn't buy another Asus with this cheap memory if my life depended on it. Yes it was the best at the time, but only because everything else sucked so hard. Now we have options.

I also have had more than acceptable WiFi performance and haven't seen all the "problems" others report. Not saying they are wrong - just that it works fine for my needs. I don't care about GPS. I went ahead and got the free Asus dongle but have never even used it. I even stayed on the stock ROM until JB came along and I lost root. Now I'm using Androwook 1.51 which was really easy and is basically the stock ROM Asus should have made. I'd agree the infinity but if you want to save the money, I think about the only thing the extra dollars would get you is the higher res screen - so you decide if its worth it to you.
I would seriously consider the Galaxy Note 10.1. I think it knocks spots of the Prime (I own both) but then I am one of the unlucky ones who got a bad egg. (just about to RMA the Prime for the second time)
