Hey there peeps!
I'm going to order Prime no.2 today/tomorrow. I just wanna find out which UK retailers have got stock of the newer C3 Primes? I would preferably like to be able to pay in store as I live in South Africa and would like to claim the VAT back. However, if amazon is the only place it's no biggy
Shot for the help!
I ordered mine from comet 2 weeks ago and got a c1 However the wifi appears to be fine on it. I get the same signal strength as my phone as shown on wifi analyser.
Got a C3 from PCworld on saturday.

PC World in Banbury, Oxfordshire UK had a C3 TP on display . . .
crap display of android tabs though, the 'ticket' just listed the keyboard as a 'dock' and wasn't on display - so if you didn't know it was a keyboard dock, you might just think it was a dock/stand! None of them were powered up and the store had no wifi. . .
Might be why there was no one looking at them, but buzzing round the new Ipad display?

I really looked EVERYWHERE, Bestbuy, Amazon, TigerDirect, Newegg. Does anybody know any other site in which the grey dock is in stock? I do not want to resort to ordering an overpriced $200 Grey Dock to fulfill that void in my soul
Just pre-order one from Best Buy. The shipping date is only like 1-2 weeks. Unless they aren't accepting any more orders.

You just have to be patient and wait for these little windows of opportunity. If you just go ahead and place an order with Best Buy or Amazon, you WILL get a dock within a week or two. They only show up as "available" for a very short amount of time and then the stock is gone. I could have put a grey dock in my online cart at Best Buy a day ago and it would have "left warehouse in 3-5 days". Now it says 1-2 weeks. That is when they think they will get their next shipment.
What I'm trying to say is.....you might not find them IN STOCK at all. But they are getting them in. So if you place an order, it will get filled when they get it in stock again. Are you not able to add it to a cart?
Use this site to monitor the status.

NowInStock wasn't that reliable for me. Items that came in stock for only a few minutes didn't show up on the site nor did I get a notification. Refreshing the item page on the store's website 24/7 was more reliable

I wouldn't say this is the case at all. I preordered a grey case in November and it still hasn't shipped.

Lol for those who don't have enough time to do this. Nowinstock.net works great for those who don't I wish I had enough time to check all the time.

There's a topic floating around here somewhere, you go into best buy, ask for an OMS order and give them the sku. Few days later pick it up. Thats what I did. I even surprised the best buy employee for knowing this and he was unaware of this ordering. Got the dock today and the bb employee even ordered a prime and one for himself as well.

What is the sku # for the dock may i ask
I ordered online on Best Buy last friday (01-06-12), and is schedule to delivery tomorrow. I guess I'm lucky.

Go there. That's the original topic with sku and how to do it.

If you are Indianapolis I got mine at Fry's last night
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!

The Office Depot website also seems to have the actual TF Prime tablet in stock, as well as the black Transleeve.

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)
anybody know the sku for the champagne dock at office depot?

This would be handy when I'm calling around.
thanks to the OP, I got my gray/purple -- corporate metal
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.
So i just got my asus prime from the best buy at rego park (queens, ny) and just wanted to inform everyone that when i got mines they brought out about 10 prime to stock up the counter (from the warehouse).
This is ONLY an in-store purchase..no online or pick up, hence for nyc
They only have the grey 32gb and they said that its up to date with ICS and other software.
Best buy also have the dock in grey which u can purchase online.

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.

Amazon apparently have a couple, I'm doing the same thing as you. You should keep an eye on nowinstock.net too.
Hope this helps!

Amazon
ASUS Transformer Prime TF201-C1-GR 10.1-Inch 64GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray)
$599.00
in stock
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

Just getting home from best buy now after returning my old tfp because of some screen defects. They told me they're getting 7 units in tomorrow night so I'm gonna go and pick out a new one. Maybe other stores are getting some too?

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
Little baby is charging away for the first time now ... had a little play around and it's fantastic!! I'm in love
Woohooo!!!

I did the exact same thing. Saved some gas and time.
So i did the research and I'm ready to get the Prime instead of the Acer 510, the 300, & i don't want to wait for the infinity.
I wan't to get the 32g + dock. I live in nyc, does anyone know where to get them together in the champagne color at a good price?

Update: J&R electronics in lower Manhattan has 4 more in champagne left (i just grabbed one) & 6 in grey. If you ask for David & get the dock too, he may give you $20-30 off if you play hard ball!
