The Transformer Prime TF700T will likely be the first tablet released to sport a 2.3-million-pixel, 1,920x1,200 screen. For those keeping count, that's more than twice the pixel count of any previous tablets, which top out at 1,280x800 (1.02 millions pixels). No release date but I think its worth the wait.

Good for you. I'm also waiting for my flying car.
I'm going to go take a dump. After that, I'm going to eat my yogurt for breakfast. Then I'll probably work on some press releases that I need to get written.
Beats me why anyone is still considering buying Asus after the disregard they have so blatently shown for their customers.
I'll never purchase or allow to come into my home, another Asus product. There are plenty of other company's out there who haven't yet purposefully shafted their customer base.
Thanks for the info. Ill update my dkb218 fansite now.

And they should care about the opinions of someone who will never buy their products again?
It's kinda ironic though that the Transformers are the best software-supported tablets out there. Constant updates and usually among the first to get the latest.
Now that's...Mean.
Wait. I take it you're the early adapters who got stuck with the OLD version and are acting like you're on the rag because I posted this. Damn. Oh well.
Don't take in out on me little girle men. Call Asus and level a grip at them.
What else did I do today, you ask? I didn't by a Transformer Prime! HA, ha hardy har har!
and then you'll be waiting after that when someone brings out an even snazzier toy.
at what point will you actually stop and buy?
TF700 is slated Q2 which if normal release cycles are anything to go by will be the back end of that quarter and that will be provided there are no delays. they have to be able to produce a 600+ nits screen that can do full HD on mass production levels and hope they don't encounter any other problems.
then you have have whether or not ICS will cope with a full HD screen on normal day to day use, will apps? will ICS need tweaking to work properly? will tegra 3 be able to handle full HD res without dragging its ass like a dog.
I'm buying the prime now, with a weather eye on the TF700 down the line. no reason to deny myself in the meantime. play with the prime. sell it six to seven months down the line and get the newer model sounds like a plan to me.

So with all the new Asus tablets coming out, one could only wonder, When is Asus going to let us RMA our Primes to get a new back plate with the plastic top so the GPS and Wifi can work as it should? Any thoughts? I like the one on the new Infinity tablet. It still has the cool swirly metal look.

100% chance they're not replacing the backplate. The cost does not outweigh the PR. Been there done that...
You've got way less than 1% of owners for the total shipped units requesting such a fix.
The impact of perhaps making some subset of this 1% unhappy does not out-weigh the cost of replacement.

Sorry I didn't know that new thread posting isn't allowed on xda????
Anyway, I was just wondering if Asus might want to do right by all the Prime owners since they have stated that the all metal plate is a problem with gps and wifi and the two new devices that where just announced have all plastic or a plastic strip/metal back plates.
Could it really be that expensive to replace it?

Personally, I think its more than 1%. So people may have a Prime that don't post on this website, but it seems that atleast 75% of the people with Primes that do post on this website have problems with either GPS or Wifi as a result of the all metal backplate.

Have you looked at the tear down videos of the prime? Some components are actually part of and attached to what you call the "backplate". What would the pogo plugs attach to with a window?
Shipping costs?
The fact that less than 1% have the problem OR are dissatisfied?
I think it would be a nice gesture from ASUS. It would certainly make you people who just love to slam ASUS think twice... It would also change the minds of people who might not buy ASUS again due to the blunders. Never underestimate the power of goodwill.

Overall, I enjoy my Prime. However, I can say with 100% certainty that I will never be buying another Asus product ever again. The padfone and tablet they just announced sound awesome, but I didn't even bother looking at pictures and videos of them because they're from Asus, and I am done with this company.
A gesture of goodwill would certainly change my outlook, but as has already been said, it's just not economically viable for Asus. I hope I'm not the only customer they lose. I've never been so disappointed in a company.
The idea that this would be an easy and inexpensive fix for ASUS to implement presumes that there are no structural or other changes necessary to support a two-piece backplate. We have no idea what the inside of the TF700 looks like, nor how much retrofitting ASUS would need to do.
I don't think it's very likely, unfortunately.
i wonder if some 3rd party company can make one? i would pay for a back plate exchange. If it worked like its suppose to.
wow, haven't seen a thread like this before

So you enjoy the prime but wont buy another product from the company? That seems a bit harsh and dumb. If I had your attitude I wouldn't buy any LG products from now on. Considering how much of a problem the LG Optimus 3D has given me and they wouldn't even admit to the problems everyone is having and won't push out system updates in a timely fashion(Still stuck on froyo).
Honestly if you have problems with the device to a point you wouldn't want to buy anything from that company then don't use their products at all just sell/return it and move on.
Change of topic. Original topic was a "Can you return the prime in Canada" thread. Since i personally have succeeded, i am now sharing how i did it so you can do it too!
First: Make sure you have all accessories: Charger, cleaning cloth, usb cable, manuals, etc.
Tablet has to be scratch free and in very good condition. Try to clean all the fingerprints as best you can.
If you have the plastic wrapper that goes around it, bonus!
Put tablet in box as if it were brand new. Neatly wrap the cord, make it all look pretty.
Make sure the tablet is charged and reset it so when you turn it on it goes to the default setup thing.
Dont forget to remove your microSD card!
Go to your local bestbuy.
Tell them you got it as a gift
You opened it up and played with it for a few days and decided its not for you
you would like a return please. (Be kind, they are people too!)
Another option is to say "they got the wrong one" when you ask for the refund. If they ask if you want to find the right one say you dont really have time right now, you'd rather the refund and you can come back another time to get the tablet thats right for you.
They will want to inspect it. If you have obvious physical damage, forget it. If you dont have the packaging, forget it. If you give them ANY reason to reject it, forget it. Dont lie but you dont have to give them obvious reasons. "I just dont want it" is true. "I want to return it because the new version came out" Also true but a bad idea.
They will likely ask if you have the recipt. Tell them you dont have a recipt, it was a gift, the person who gave it to you didnt think to keep it. (I said it was from my grandmother who lives in another city, whatever seems plausable)
They will tell you they cant return it for cash but can do store credit. You say thats acceptable and try not to smile too big. (Also helps not to agree too fast). I made some comment "thats fine, i can buy something that better suits what i need when i get paid". If they offer to help you find something to buy with the card right away just say you really dont have too long to spend on this, you can come back another day to spend the money.
Edit:
Dont forget! when you go to buy the infinity bring a printout of these two pages and get the infinity for $350 instead of $500! It helps to email yourself the links so you can bring them up on your phone too. Bestbuy matches online prices now! (woot!)

I'd definitely like to know this too!! I've had mine since January- bought it from Staples. I had problems within the first month, but they just told me I had to go through Asus (even though they told me I had 30 days to return when I purchased it!!). I haven't RMA'd after reading all the horror stories on the forums, and I keep hoping an impending update will fix things (silly I know...). I'm so frustrated with the whole experience, and reading about what is going on now in the US for BB customers is just making it worse! I'd love to hear if there is anything we can do up in Canada...
I RMA'd mine. I'm waiting for the information package and how to send it. It was fine at the beginning but after a few months I started to have screen glitches, flickers. My Wifi is some what weak to none existant where my wife's Ipad does not have a problem. The number of freezes it can have is unbearable.

So how did it take in total since you initiated the process? I think I may be fed up enough to do it- I was willing to wait and see what good firmware updates did, but it's been 6 months... I'm moving soon though, so I might have to wait until the fall if the process is too long. The last thing I need right now is for it to get lost in the mail!!

Once my Prime is sent back to me from its RMA I can post my thoughts on any improvements to my tablets overall performance.
I just got my prime back today, after sending it in exactly one month ago, to fix the green camera issue. I had to call them up to escalate the issue last week, because it was taking so long.
Anyway, they returned it good as new. They also replaced the cracked back panel, which was nice.

So i just got back from BB
Walked in, told the guy i got it as a gift, didnt want or need it, wanted to return it
He asked if i had a recipt
i said nope, was a gift from my grandma out of town
he asked if theres any chance i could get the recipt
i said not likely, shes old and forgets things
he said without a recipt they cant return it for cash, tho he could do store credit
i said thats awesome, i was thinking about getting a laptop anyways
processed the return, turned it on to make sure its going strong, checked i had the accessories, all was well. Got me a gift card for when the store has 700's in stock. woot!
Hey, I thought I would start this thread because I gave into peer pressure and returned my ATP for the Infinity. I'm really excited. I thought though I should pass on the USB GPS Dongle I got to someone who might need it more than I do now that its just gonna collect dust in my left-overs box. Maybe other ex prime owners with dongles will follow in my example. Just PM me and I'll send it to you via USPS even if you're overseas!
Obvious mistake, i should have said the ASUS GPS Dongle to resolve Satellite Reception Issue

Yes, he is talking about the GPS dongle. I have an extra as well now. NIB.

I wasn't sure if this was kosher but as long as you guy's are doing it I'll jump on. PM me and I'll give mine up too... you gotta cover postage to 12123.
Yeah I was worried no one would reply, but Ive had two people write to me. I was one of the fortunate few who got two dongles in the mail(Thanks ASUS USA for not being thorough with double checking your mailing lists). Ill be sending the first one out today and if my Infinity (Thanks Best Buy for the great customer service) has a working GPS the other dongle will be sent out Friday Morning.
To sound corny, we are a community and even though you'll always have a few extremists who do nothing but complain about how they got the shaft, I enjoyed my prime and I am happy to pass on the dongles if that will make other somewhat satisfied Primer owners happy!
As a recommendation to anyone sending anything overseas: Don't send it certified or registered or any of that junk, because it only takes longer and is more likely to get lost!
i can give mine too...
I am also sailing in the same boat.. Waiting for my Infinity Pad from BB to arrive.
I will wait to see the GPS works properly in Infinity PAD ( hopefully i don't need the GPS dongle any more) ..
If any Prime owners wants the GPS dongle , Please PM me . I can send it to them through USPS , If they can cover the postage.
Thanks ,
Ram
Some ASUS engineers must have had their balls clamped in a vice over the Prime's GPS, because the Infinity's GPS is one thing they certainly got right. Very fast acquisitions in all conditions.
Today I sent out one of the two I had to the UK. It set me back US$6.53 and about 30 minutes of my time. The other one might head to Perth which should be the same price because the clerk accidentally keyed in China.
I'm thinking about getting rid of mine as I do not use the GPS in ma ATP, rather prefer my SGSIII it. I'm wondering who may need it as it was easy to get it from Asus website.
I would love to have a GPS dongle, so is somebody willing to help me out? That would be great!
I live in The Netherlands but never got mine... it's a long story...
NOTE: My Prime is champagne colored, but I guess I would be happy with any dongle!

are you in Amsterdam, could leave it for you in my hotel as I'm working there every week Wednesday and Thursday.
Won't do me much good and it is Champagne Gold.
Also have an extra dongle from my Prime that I am willing to give away. Let me know. It is gray.
Add me to the list. I have a dongle I will give up for free to someone since I exchanged my prime for an infinity. It's gray I actually never even used it. Its not in the packaging though. Please dont be a hoarder. lol I'd like it to go to someone that doesnt have one. You just cover the shipping from Zip code 11358
I would also like to offer my dongle up. I wasn't expecting it when I bought my prime and won't use it, all I ask is 5 bucks to cover postage.

Dear TF201 prime owners,
Like a lot of owners in this forum, My prime experience had been less than ideal. Last week, I emailed asus expressing just how horrible the prime is for some of us and how is has been nothing but a paperweight. Well, I got a reply back from ASUS and apparently they are aware of the this situation and there might be a remedy similar to that of the Dongle. Here is the reply:
I do apologize for the issues you have experienced while using your TF201 tablet. ASUS values its customers, and we are in the process of finalizing another remedy in addition to the dongle. We expect notification of this remedy to go out within the next few months. Unfortunately, I do not have any further details on what is being done.
Let the speculation begin.

Youve got to be kidding. Another dongle? How about just recalling this junk and give us a tablet that works.

Yea, now we get to carry two dongles with us and swap them. How badazz is that?
Maybe it will be a dongle with 4G + Extra battery + Stereo Speakers + Pico Projector + 256GB extra storage.
Yep defiantly gonna be that!

Sounds to me like it'll be a wifi dongle, unfortunatly alot of us have unlocked so i wonder how many of us will actually recieve it.
If it is a wifi dongle, i hope they listened to the negative comments about its design and include a passthrough so you can still charge the damn thing.
Perhaps it will be a Wifi + GPS dongle ... and if not, how long will it take to mod and include both in one ... hey ho

a permanent solution for the wifi will be eventually appreciated, even though I seriously don't believe this happening...
I would love a wifi dongle! But somehow make it compatible with the dock? lol
Maybe a faster internal memory dongle too.
...I don't see any of these things happening, guys. The Prime didn't sell well enough for a free solution to pay for itself in customer goodwill.
If it was decent, I'd consider paying a small amount for a WiFi/Internal Memory fix but I don't expect it would be free.

I would happily pay, and many others probably would too.

You might be willing to. However if asus comes out and tries to charge for a wifi fix, coustomers will be louder than they already are.

What do you mean pay for it? We already did pay for it and what we got in return was crappy internal memory, subpar wifi, and nonfunctioning gps unlong with 10 months of promises of software updates to fix it. Things have only gotten worse. My Prime ran better on honeycomb than it does now. I can't even use gmail without getting kicked out let alone try to play a game.
Just send me a $300 check and a hammer, and I ll happily smash this tablet+docking. Asus just denied my RMA for a broken charger and told me to buy a new one.
Hey, I see that your device is unlocked, so no warranty, bye.
My wifi barely works and I have to use my cellphone for wifi-tethering all the time. GPS? forget about it.
I'm betting it will be a $100 towards an ASUS tablet purchase in the near future (fine print: excludes Google Nexus 7). I'm hoping for something else though.
