Might call around for a computer store that sells them...It's the same one as in the TF-101......or look for a large electronics store, Like Best Buy.....I'm also sure that Amazon probably has them.
You might have to buy the entire charger
Good luck
Bob

JB hifi should have them, as should harvey norman.

i ordered one on Dealextreme. works great, same quality as the one i got with the prime

OMG, they sold out just that fast. I was just browsing for accessories when I saw the link with prime from Amazon. Ordered it and came to post hear. Clicked on the link in first post and gone. I just ordered the transformer from BestBuy a hour ago.

It's in stock, but that place wants $279 now for it, and the cheapest you can find it Amazon now is $219. I will wait until the places selling it for $149 get it back in stock

Well, the closest Fry's to me is 150 miles south in the Bay Area, I think I'll skip that, thanks anyway though. NorCal is pretty much devoid of Fry's, except for the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area's.
Edit-Just for fun I checked their online availability tool, it seems the Campbell (SF Bay Area) and Roseville (Sacramento area) stores have them in stock, but Campbell is 170 miles south of me, and Roseville is 150 miles southeast of me, with gas costs that would easily bring the price of it to over $200

That sucks. At least you have the TF. I just returned my A500. When the refund hits my account I'll try and pick up the TF... I have a funny feeling everything will be sold out again by then.

That's true, I bought mine from Best Buy online, I actually have one of those fairly close to me, it's 70 miles south of here in Santa Rosa. We have Staples and WalMart in Ukiah (the "big" city in Mendocino County at 16,000, about 10 miles south of my place), but Staples here only sells the Xoom, and WalMart only sells the iPad and iPad2. They seem to be in stock more and more and longer and longer now, I don't think you'll have a problem getting one soon.
So you tried out the Acer, what did you think of it? I looked at them, but it's 100 bucks more, and it looks like it's a lot thicker and heavier. I love my TF anyway, so I'm all set
Man. Just got the update that the dock arrived at the local fedex facility. Wasn't expecting it to arrive so fast.

Where to get a dock for your Transformer today!

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.

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.

Nice find. Any of the afforementioned defects users posted found on the one you bought?
Just got my 50.00 + 3.00 tax
pricematch Bestbuy.com and Rockville MD Microcenter. They gave me a case number and said 3-5 days to refund my Visa
OH Forgot THANKS Will hit your thanks button too
I picked one up last night as well.... got home, played a bit with HC, then did the ICS upgrade.... then my brand new tablet became useless, as I have the defect with it rebooting constantly - within minutes of boot it reboots.
Will call the manager and see what they are willing to do. I know I can exchange, and keep it on HC and be fine. It is a solidly built tablet - and a great price.
Will update everyone with what I do!
Was able to pricematch my BBY.com order with the Yonkers, NY location. Many thanks OP.
Haven't checked GPS but Its seems to work perfect last night. Upgraded and working well!
Weird...but ok
sorry guys, wrong post. Tab management fail.
What info do i need? I want to do it for my gf . Email? Cc number? Address?

Its $50 off all Android tablets. The number off trolls spreading their crap on this forum is ridiculous.

I'm super tempted... there are "10+ in stock" at my nearest (in Detroit) microcenter, but should I make the two hour round trip drive to get one or should I just wait for my Amazon order which is set to ship soon-ish?
Tough decisions... I want one, and that would be a $25 discount, but a two hour round trip drive seems just a bit silly.

Where the hell can you buy it!

Hey guys,
I'm in the states for 2 weeks and really wanted to pick up the Prime (Grey) 32Gb or 64Gb if it's in stock.
Can I actually get it anywhere? I'm in Houston and have been to Bestbuy, Office Depot, etc and no stock anywhere!!
Any actually for sale? Amazon don't have them either!
If all goes well I should be receiving mine from gamestop. The catch is you have to get the one with the controller, but the 30$ is worth it.

Ah sweet - I didn't check the 64Gb Grey on Amazon, just 32Gb!!
Might go ahead and order that!
Looks like they are actually getting a shipment in on the 25th:
"In stock on January 25, 2012.
Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we ship the item. "
did you check best buy online for local availability? I found some finally locally this way this weekend in NJ.. called the store.. confirmed they had it and put my name on it.. got there asked out the dock and they had that also.. finally have both.
OMS orders in a Bestbuy store works like a charm you just need the sku number of the prime and theyll get to you within a week

That's the store I went into! Unfortunately!
I don't know if the sales guy was just an idiot but he said they had none in stock :/
go to customer service.. I did the same thing.. went to the sales guy and he gave me some answer that it meant it was orderable in store.. took me an hr each way to go to that store.. went home and saw another store showed that status now .. called and they said yup they had it.. even made them confirm before I took another hr drive.. well after 4 hrs finally have it.. first store I tried to call and they never answered the night before so went then next morning to get there about opening time to get that answer.. that was from a kid on the floor.. should have known better.. I have been seeing this in varying stores so it really is what they have not that you can just order it..
Try an Office Depot. They are in stock at many locations and few people think to try them.

OD has them with free delivery by 1/25. You'd also be able to return it in-store if you have a problem.
Well guys... I GOT IT!!
The store that the website says in stock HAS them in stock!! They guy I spoke to must have been a totaly moron!
I phoned, they had one, kept it aside for me and now... I'm in the world of Prime

I did the exact same thing. Saved some gas and time.

England or America?

I'm on a flight to the states, just about to take off. Had intended to get TP in USA, but having read this forum, it seems the ones in the UK have less issues. Is this correct? I have a stop over in London and could try to pick one up in duty free...
Is there even a difference? The biggest advantage would be that a UK model would come with a 3 pin plug.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
I don't know....seems like I remember reading about a UK guy that had 8 returns....But I think that the best thing would be to get it in the country that you live....that way you're sure there are no "unforseen" problems, like DRM liscensing, etc.
Bob
Hell, I'd get it in the states, dollar < Euro/£
Keep in mind though, the wifi channels for the wireless adapter stop at 11 in the states. Also, I'd tun it on in the store where you get it, make sure everything is OK with it in case you have to return, you can do it on the spot.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
7 returns, me. I would recommend buying one in YOUR country, and from the shop with good refund policy. You could in theory buy one in duty free and check it there and then, the but if it's Dixon Travel, and I believe they are the only ones selling this sort of tech, you can only return it to normal store not duty free, at least that's what I've been told by one of their staff. Good luck.

You will pay about 40% more in England. All consumer electronics are a lot higher.
IMO a subjective non validated improvement is not worth the premium. Not to mention if you have issues with the device and need to have fixed or returned.
in England, it comes bundled with the keyboard dock. You cantt buy the tab on itss own.
None available in the airport, just ipads, acer and a Samsung 10.1" but they had no model information... I'll get it in the States.

Whilst this is often true, to be fair to Asus the price they are charging the UK for the Prime+Dock bundle is pretty much the same as the total cost for the two in the US if you factor out the 20% VAT we pay in the UK and convert to USD at 1.5$ to the £.

I took a walk around Chicago last night and didn't find a shop that sells tablets. What shops stock the TP? There is a Best Buy a couple of miles away, should I try there? It's times like this when Google Maps is your friend...
Best Buy or Staples might be your best bet for finding one in a big box store. Also, Best Buy has their satellite stores (Best Buy Mobile) in malls and what not that you may want to try. I was just in one yesterday and they at least had a floor model on display (not sure if they actually had any in stock though)
Was just in best buy. They had a display model but no stock - they only recieved 2. I met a nice gentleman who informed me that they are sold out across Chicago and there are none to be had. He did mention a store called AJ G.... But I can't remember the name of them.
Probably HHGregg is what you are looking for. I checked their stock for Chicago area and it shows none available but here is the link.

That's interesting, I know my local Best Buy only received 2 as well. I actually bought one and then returned it when my Champagne pre-order came in.
Order from US Amazon.com, and have them next day or 2 day it to your hotel.... if they will ship to hotels??? Guess just put the hotel address, and in care of yourself. If something is wrong with it and needs to be returned before you leave, they pay for return shipping.

Tried to order one via Amazon, but they have none, except for non Amazon traders who are looking for a fortune...
Gonna look into ordering it via Amazon UK and getting it delivered to a friend in London (i'll be passing through next weekend) only trouble is the UK ones are all with keyboard, so still very expensive.
Anyone want to suggest other options? Bear in mind I'm living in the middle east, and Amazon won't deliver there...
Also, what's the best colour? I used a purple one today, which was on display, I presume that is the one called grey ?
£499 on Amazon UK, seems expensive

If you are a non-EU resident, you can claim the VAT back when you leave the country, which will save you about £80 bringing the cost down to the US level.
