Easiest thing would be to call their customer service. However I had good luck with the TF101 getting one when Newegg was selling them at launch and I have faith in them now. I keep checking my Pre-Order and my email as well as the sight for any updates. I've seen them update the Asus tablet page and remove the other tablets and put them back. Unless they wait until the last minute to update the page we may luck out and get it early. Otherwise they can always fallback on the fact that it says ETA and not actual release date.
For what it's worth, since I am a Campus Rep for ASUS, I can tell you all that the company has pretty strong ties with Newegg as that's who we use for our official campus store. If any company gets them on release date my bet would be with Newegg.
Just my two cents

Not wanting to read into it but is 12/8 the actual release date? Since thats the date most retailers had initally before they changed it to the following week or two afterwards. If so then I definitely expect Newegg to have it on the date listed especially since every other retailer has been covering themselves and changed their dates while Newegg hasn't.

my Bestbuy.com order status still says it gets released 12/18. I would love to get that one wrong!
Who was the source in Taiwan. Do we have someone on record as saying that? I know all of the media outlets were stating those dates on the day of the conference but I was never sure of an actual source.
What are they telling you as campus sales rep. When will you have one (or more) in hand?

I was skeptical for the same reason because no source was ever mentioned, no picture of any date was shown, nor was any video of the conference recorded.
My job is not as a sales rep... Just a Campus Rep. I'm supposed to promote the awareness and benefits of the products on campus by holding demo events, Q&A's, and reviewing new products. I'm going to contact my boss to see if I can get some more details.

Thanks that would be great. Sorry that I erroneously added 'sales' into your title. Not sure why I made you a salesman. I think it would help your cause on campus to be able to definitively state when the product is available. Here's to hoping your boss has an answer!

Sending an email now. I'll post when I get a response.
It would really make my weekend if they shipped it out on the 8th!! Anyone know if it is possible to change shipping address on a newegg order? Their customer rep said I couldn't change since the order was "on hold". Will be hard for me to time it right so I can change the shipping address right after they receive it, but before they ship it out...
I forgot to put my office address in there and don't want them to leave it outside my house, or worse yet - take it back to the UPS hub on the day of delivery.

I was able to change the shipping option from 3 days to next day saver and change my credit card information, with a newegg customer service rep. My pre-order # did not change and still says "ordered on 11/25" on the pre-order status of "hold"..

My Best Buy pre-order says the 18th, but I was told I'd have it on the 13th. Maybe that date is for the in store date? Hoping so!
I love Newegg, but I have had some bad experiences with their pre-order stuff. Normally the release date is wrong, it comes later than the real release date, and once I got the incorrect product. I would hope they have gotten better, but when I made my preorder I stuck to Best Buy that had a physical presence so I could return or exchange without a hassle (hopefully) if there is a problem.
However, the official release date is the 19th for the US. There have been a lot of rumors and Asus officials have no been in sync with the information, but this finally seems official.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/as...ts-official-release-date-for-8th-of-december/
Nevermind the 8th in the title, this article was updated. So the Best Buy date of the 18th is probably correct because that is when they will ship it. I just hope they have enough stock.

First time doing a pre-order with Newegg personally but I've bought lots of items from them in the past and have always been really good service. Of course service will always differ from one experience to the next. The way I see it is if they do get them on the 8th and ship them then thats a plus. If they get them on the 8th and ship the following week it falls in line with that 12th date that was thrown around with the 18th. And if it's not until the 18th then well it's the same as everyone else. All that matters at this point is when we all recieve the device. Unfortunately the site you linked to doesn't have anymore concrete information than any of the other sites. They reference the launch trailer we all saw as having the date and I watched it again to make sure I didn't miss something and there is no date in that trailer. So again we are all just playing the wait game until these merchants recieve and ship out our devices.

when i ordered the OG transformer from them it was an open box 16gb on their website for $300, i ended up getting a 32gb open box in the mail though, so sometimes those little snafus are a good thing!

Sent from my Thunderbolt using Tapatalk
yeah i called about a week ago and they told me 18th to 23rd and i asked they clarify what that meant. As in day shipped or day received and the lady said 18th would be earliest day i would have it in my hands and 23rd being the latest. This was at best buy but i should also note it sounded to me like she just read off the computer a generic product shipment statement. No real knowledge when it came to the prime. This was at best buy. For anyone wondering i ordered the 27th champ. 32gb no dock. I wanna know why u think the 13th too before i get my hopes up...
**edit- I figured i should also note for people wondering this was for standard free shipping. i was talking to her about upgrading shipping and once she told me 18th to 23rd i decided to leave it alone.
Just browsing Asus's product site, I noticed that the "preorder" list had been removed (unless I'm looking at the wrong page: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features). I went to the "where to buy" tab and looked through some of the sites listed - a couple of places that weren't on the initial preorder list have them up now - J&R as we all know, but also allasus.com and PC Mall. I went ahead and called PC Mall to check on delivery time and the rep told me Dec. 12th. Now, of course, I doubt that is accurate, but it's news at least.
Ok all I want to know is who ordered from Jr and what is your ordered status because my said it was backordered. Just want some info.

Their CS rep told me that the backorder email is simply a form response to everyone who had a pre-order so it doesn't really mean anything yet.

thats a delay email, not cancellation.
mostly because it will be after 12/25 delivery.

Sorry to hear, OP. Many of us have received a few similar emails.
There we go! So NCIX wasn't crazy for sending the same email a few days earlier. Maybe it's just a Canada thing... Only time will tell...

memory express sent them as well and I emailed and asked for clarification and got this
Originally we were supposed to get them on the 6th of December. According to Asus they are shipping on the 15th which means in theory we should have them on or after Christmas day.

I'd bet that to serve the U.S., Asus probably has a contract with a logistics company that they drop ship to who then manages and distributes inventory on their behalf. Because of the smaller volume in Canada they may ship directly from Taiwan. That would explain why "shipping on the 15th" may or may not make it before X-Mas.
Good Morning All,
Anyone have any stores (Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc) doing a waiting list for the EVO LTE? I know they will have a pre order 5/7, but didn't know if they were doing a list like they did for the 3D.
Thanks!
I checked my local store and they said they would probably start a waiting list in 2 weeks with a $50 gift card purchase.
The waiting list is the pre-order. That's why they call it the pre-order. You're on a list, waiting for the phone you ordered prior to it's release date.

Do you think its not worth it. I was planning on getting it myself but not sure if I can since I started my plan when the evo3d came out last year summer. That means I wont qualify for a upgrade until 2013. If devs like you wont develop for that phone then I wont be too heart broken if I dont get it.
Thought I'd make a thread for people who pre ordered through Amazon instead of clogging other threads.
I just ordered mine today and its back ordered but says est delivery on May 21st

Just ordered mine and Del date is 5/22. Ships 5/18.
I think it says back order because its a pre-order? Not sure?
But release is not until 5/18 so.... I hope it ships that day because I have 5/22 off from work.
It says free activation for new lines... but when I ordered as an upgrade it said Sprint would charge me $36 activation. I called Sprint retention department and complained about their lack of lte, etc and got a credit to my account and a promise to waive the activation fee
To get free overnight shipping just email amazon and ask nicely. Include your order #. They were really cool about it.
The $36 fee waiving is for new lines only, not upgrades.
And don't worry about the backorder note, Amazon told me that's just a placeholder type deal. They told me that that all pre orders are on track to ship by 5/18.
My estimated delivery date is the 5/21.

I purchase everything via Amazon, but I couldn't wait (too excited) to pre-order so I went with Sprint.com, I should have waited.
I made a promise to myself to never do that again, so my next HTC phone will definitively be via Amazon for sure.
I was opposite. I ordered through Sprint, canceled, ordered through Amazon to save $62.
I too am an Amazon fanboy. I have no problem waiting a few extra days.

Edit: Can confirm this works!
I just cancelled my order from Wirefly and placed one with Amazon. I was in early with Wirefly on 5/7, but they would never give me a straight answer of when or if it would ship soon.
Amazon did say I should have it by 5/22. Not sure whether I believe that or not, but at least they are giving me a date. I also noticed they gave me a free car charger once I placed my order. That was a nice surprise.
Not sure how this customs thing is going to affect it if it is true.

Yep they are giving a free car charger to everyone. Can never have enough of those generic USB chargers.
In all honesty, I doubt the Customs thing is going to affect pre-orders that much. Most of those phones have probably been in the country for at least a few days.
Those customs batches are for units not yet sold, I suspect.
When I click the free charger link it 404's lol

Hi,
I placed a pre-order for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE on 5/11, but last night
I heard there was some sort of delay for this phone due to US Customs. My
account page still shows my order as estimated delivery date of 5/22 with
the shipping date as 5/18 as it originally was when I placed the order. I
wanted to confirm if this was still accurate and if the delay has changed
anything for my account? Also are there any options to possibly get this
shipped faster with another method?

Amazon often plays by its own rules. So I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them ship out preoders if they were able to get their batch. I know Sprint would prohibit them from doing this, but how effective could they be?

Interesting because I got a completely different response!

Just got my response back for the change in shipping. My order has been updated and says it will ship on the 18th and be received on the 21st. I figure Amazon will join the delay alongside everyone else, but they are taking their time getting that info to their customers, so I wonder if they will do anything about that... they are generally good with their customer service. I don't mind waiting if it comes to that.
Yeah I'm trying to keep my expectations low so I don't get disappointed but I'm hoping they already had some stock onhand before it went to backorder status and are still sending those who had preordered their phones on time.
On a related note, I did email again and requested for one-day delivery instead of the free two-day shipping that they automatically give you and score!
Hello from AmazonWireless,
I was able to upgrade the shipping on your order to one day. The new estimated delivery date is 21 May 2012.

Hello [Crowordove],
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the truth is we just don't yet know how this customs issue with the Evo LTE phones will affect our ability to deliver your new phone to yet. Of course, we'll keep you informed via email as we find out.
For now, we still expect to ship your order in time for delivery on May 22, 2012 .
We'll send you an e-mail when your order is shipped with your tracking number.
