This would be suck a cool thing it would be the ultra transformer! A phone that transforms into a tablet that then turns into a laptop!
This would be the best!
One data plan one device!
You could probably get like 24 hours of battery using the tablet and dock battery! This would be the coolest thing if asus made that!

I don't know why you have to put exclamation points after every sentence!
But, yeah, I was watching some video on the Padphone, and I'll be damned if the tablet part doesn't have what looks suspiciously like the same docking connectors as are on the Prime. And it's certainly made thin enough on the bottom to fit, from all appearances.
I doubt that Sprint would pick up the phone, which makes it pretty much worthless to me. But if they did, and it ran a Tegra 3, and the screen on the pad portion is the same Super IPS+ as the Prime... If all of that turned out to be true, I'd sell the prime and get this sucker in a heartbeat.
its been confirmed the padfone works with the OG dock.

Crazy. I still have my OG Transformer and dock. Maybe I should hang on to the dock just in case...

In the future, if there is a second generation PadPhone (fixing up problems the first gen will probably have ), I'll probably end up with that combo. Phone docks into tablet docks into keyboard? It's pretty much the ultra mobility.

Confirmed by the Asus rep.
I almost got a Note, but then Sammy made it such a PIA to connect a hard drive that I passed. Then when I saw the shell of the Padfone and didn't see a USB port, I put in an order for the Note. Then I saw this video and canceled my order for the Note.
Still don't know anything, but since it supports the keyboard (which I already have) and that has USB ports, I can almost assume it will behave like the transformer and be good to hard drives. Just hope the rumors of Kal El are true. Guess we'll find out in a month.
I hope at&t doesn't botch this like they did my atrix 4g.....I opted out of the dock to keep my data plan unlimited. Ill keep my Asus prime if they do the duel data teathering junk again...it was uncool

So what's the big deal with this? Lol. Its a nice looking phone n that's about it. Its cool that it'll use same connector bit this is no tablet replacement like some making it sound. Plus Asus messed up design by adding extra capacitive buttons not even needed. with ICS, it was Androids intentions for phones n devices to get rid of capacitive buttons n make more use of permanent on-screen ones. That could be extra screen real estate used in that area instead of useless clones of on-screen tabs. If this phone has a screen as big as the galaxy note then it might be something. Other than that, looks n operates just like any other phone. The dock thing is nothing new as Atrix had that also n didn't do to well, as far as dock goes. Now if someone has an OG transformer n dock already, n no prime, then it might be cool. Haven't seen anything new or groundbreaking from that YouTube video. Looks well built though, ill admit.
And appearantly one has to have a phone in it to actually make it work, which I really don't like. Neh... not too fond of it.
Wifi hotspot works good enough for me.

The phone was designed pre-ICS and is still prototype hardware subject to change (with the capacitive buttons most likely being removed)

It is almost like any other phone but the difference is that it powers an Android tablet and netbook too! Everything consolidated into one device simplifies things for some people
That´s the device I have been waiting for since I first read about it.
I so hope Asus doesn´t screw this one up.
Search up the KT Spider and you'll see the same concept but they have more options. Like a laptop dock, tablet dock and a game dock sorry of like a PSP. Korea Telecom I think is the one who introduced the concept last year.

It would. But considering the fact how long this device has been in development it would be a big surprise if they manage to switch over to the Prime dock.
(Assuming that it is actually true what that guy said.)

But this hasn´t been released, either or has it?
The last time I checked it hasn´t and it was pretty clear it wouldn´t come to Europe.
How much do you guys think it will cost? And what do you think the us data plans will be like?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I don´t where, but I read that an Asus rep. said the Pafone (phone + tablet-dock) won´t be as expensive as an average phone + tablet combo.
So, my guess would be something around 900€.
If the tablet part isnt like 100 or 150 bucks idk if many would sell..
Im thinkjng 200 for phone on contract and 150 for tab 150 for dock

I wouldn't trust that rep, I don't think he understood the question correctly.
He said the same adaptor and same cable, nothing about connecting the padfone to the docking station. I do believe that it will be able to connect to a dock, but its not very likely to be the tf101 dock.

Sorry.. replied too quickly without seeing your post, said the exact same thing.
Could work with the Prime dock, they were redesigning last I heard. The price for it is my only concern
http://androidcommunity.com/asus-to-unveil-and-announce-new-padfone-design-next-month-20120131/
So next month I'm going to mwc and need to be blogging and writing word documents, I can't be bothered to take a heavy mbp so I was thinking of buying the transformer ..
Good investment guys? Also is it as nice to hold as the ipad is?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
As nice to hold? Go to a store and try... How can we decide how it holds for you?!
And no, not a good investment in the sense that it'll prolly decrease in value within months... But yeah, it's still a great tablet and combined with the dock suitable for the things you want just fine. Dunno about how suitable it is for extensive working like that.
Awesome tablet bro but would never call a newly released gadget a good investment, cash wise that is ;#)
Yeah bad wording on my behalf.. I've ordered one anyway! Only reason I asked about hololding was the old transformer had sharp edges

No, terrible investment.
But great toy =)
Picked one up saturday myself. No complaints so far. FYI Office Depot has some Docks / Keyboards in stock, if you consider picking one up. Let us know what series you got and if there are any issues..

It is definitely a good investment as long as you get the keyboard. This is the main feature, in my opinion, that puts the Prime ahead of any other tablet out there (including the iPad). The SwiftKey X keyboard is great when the keyboard dock is not attached, however there a few bugs with SwiftKey and some Android apps out there (Polaris Office is virtually unusable when using SwiftKey X to as your keyboard).
I had the Prime for a week and a half before I could finally find the keyboard dock and I can say it is truly a great experience with the dock. Even without the dock the thing is amazing but the full sized keyboard, gesture enabled track pad, USB port, extra battery and SD card slot really turn the tablet into a true 'laptop' like experience. The keyboard and track pad are very responsive as well, which was something I was worried about as I have used cheap netbooks/laptops before where the track pads were terrible and the keyboards had a noticeable lag. I have had a few random reboots which would be my only complaint, so if you play games or are writing a long document be sure to save often just in case.
As far as the thing dropping in price after a few months, I do not think this is going to happen. ASUS has stated that the Prime is going to be sold along side the TF701 and the 701 is going to be marketed as the step up model. If you look at the original Transformer that was launched 10 months ago, it is still being sold for 450 bucks (for the 32GB version). Sure, over time the Prime will drop in price but I don't think that is going to be anytime soon.
Yeah a TFP + dock + mouse = great for blogging, assuming you'll be blogging directly onto the website.
As for word documents, you may have to buy an office suite app. It comes with Polaris Office, which is decent, but I like OfficeSuite Pro, although I don't think either has a spell checker...

Let us know how it works for you. I have the Note already, waiting for the Prime to deliver in a few days.

Hey everyone, my prime will be delivered tomorrow and I am extremely excited, but after being on the forums and hearing about the new tablets asus will be announcing I began to worry about my investment.
I'm beginning to worry about whether the prime will continue having steady upgrades and ultimately a jump to the next android OS. What do you all think?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
yes it will continue to be sold and supported. we actually have an update that should be coming between now and next week sometime(i hope what i was told holds true). Asus has the best firmware support when it comes to updates n such. so there should be no worries on that part. plus with developer support here in xda, you in good hands.
I honestly don't want to think anything as that would be spreading rumors.
However, if the TF300T and maybe TF700T firmwares will be mostly compatible with the TF201, then there shouldn't be any problem.
The TF101 is still very well supported by Asus. In my opinion, Asus provides hands down the best, and most timely, ongoing support. They're awesome in that regard.
PS - my Prime and dock was delivered today and is waiting at my house. Really excited!!

All you have to do is take a look at what is happening with the original Transformer which has been out for over a year now. The Prime was released several months ago yet the 1st gen is still getting updates (including ICS). So you shouldn't really be worried about this at all. Like others have said ASUS is really good about keeping their products up to date as far as software goes.

ah hah..lol its a stud then? told you
Sorry OP, we're going off topic here, but my 30 minute impression after owning the Prime...
Hardware-wise, this thing exudes quality in a way the 1st gen Transformer could never dream of. Really, really awesome. Keyboard and trackpad are substantially improved as well. Device performance is definitely making a good first impression.
Super happy so far. After jumping on the original Transformer at launch, I was thinking I'd skip the Prime and wait for the next generation. Well, I guess I got bored. Plus I was really in love with the Prime's style in a way that the upcoming 700 couldn't quite match. Went with the Champagne by the way, not as big a fan of the amethyst or whatever it's called, which I looked at in a local Best Buy.
I've got a firmware update pestering me but I'm going to hold off until I do a bit more reading on the current situation. I understand the latest firmware isn't rootable, and I'm not yet sure I'm ready to void my warranty with the Asus unlock.
Anyway, glad to be aboard!
Total stud so far, thanks for the encouragement to go for it! I even had gps lock in the house! We have 2 wifi routers, so I can't imagine a wifi problem. Will venture to the yard tomorrow and see how far I can get. Gotta figure out what else to try on it. Pinball was fun :-D ohhh, and the screen is amazing. I'll be able to read at park and waiting for kids ball this summer with no problem. I need sunglasses for the super ips+!

Totally agree about the screen. In addition to brightness, I'd say the TF201 has a bit of an advantage in clarity and contrast over the TF101 as well - which I consider to have a very good screen. I was always really impressed with the TF101's screen, even compared with my Galaxy Nexus which blows it out of the water in terms of pixel density, black levels, and color saturation.
This is fun!
I currently use the prime daily and i got my GF the nexus 7 for couch browsing and just to have the latest OTA's all the time. However after using it, I really am liking the portability of the size and the performance is so much fast than the prime. Just not sure if i would miss the larger screen.
Yeah, i plan on selling my Prime soon and getting a Nexus 7!
I switched--but I was having horrible problems with my prime. One nexus 7 for me. One nexus 7 for my wife.

Due to the reputation of the prime and the release of infinity, the price of the prime is below what I'd like to get out of my prime.

oh and im keeping both. No need to get rid of my prime since i have no issues with it. it works great
I'd love to have both, but I'm keeping my prime. The keyboard dock is far too useful to give up. Besides, I have faith in the devs

yea both sounds like a good idea.
gonna get the N7, use it for a week or two and wait to hear about JB on prime.. then sell one of the 2.
Anyone want to buy a spare Prime?
Traded in my 3G Vita on one Saturday. So far its been an absolute pleasure to own, exactly what I was expecting.
My Prime, not so much.
Sorry guys, but I see no need on having a tablet without a dock station like the asus transformer line. I mean, a tablet without USB OTG,SD and microSD card reader and mouse pad is just an expensive toy to sit in front of the TV and surf on internet while watching at it. I use my prime both at work and while at school instead of bringing a heavy, big, overheating laptop, not to mention the battery life in the prime is way better. I know , the N7 came with a very good price, and I will buy one as soon as they reach Swedish market, but as I said before, for me it will work just as a toy to surf in front of the TV, no way that it would replace the Prime.

Pretty much the same boat I am in. Buying from staples and they have a 14 day return policy (I think). Not sure if selling my prime would be worth it at this point.

I am on it right now and I have to say it just outperforms the prime. Idk if its jb or what but everything is just after on the n7
The N7 doesnt seem to have these strange lags caused by the internal memory speed.
Also it scores way better in the benchmarks...
good thing: it uses the same memory as the prime! on paper the same speed ...

I think what it boils down to is, get what you want period. If you love the prime and it works for you then keep it, want the infinity or 7 then get it.
Nothing is worse than having a tablet and not want it, or you are dissatisfied with it, for whatever reason. Flip side, nothing is better than having a device and really like it.
The prime really doesn't do it for me, I thought it would (it's still is the best looking tablet out bar none) but it just doesn't. In the end I treat it like a business decision, I thought it would be good and it tuned out for me different. Now I'm trying to sell it and move on.
I started using windows 8 and I knew my next tablet device would have it 8 on it. I like everything about it. I think it's the better OS for me and my situation. I could go on an on bashing Asus, but why? I've found what works best for me. But that's just me...
I owned a Galaxy Tab 7" and a PlayBook prior to getting the Prime, and I'm considering the Nexus, but I found the 7" tabs to be too small for web browsing. Personally, I think the Galaxy Tab 8.9" is the best size.
Plus, it's another ASUS product. (My Prime's currently RMA'd to fix the rear camera issue).
I wish HTC had built the Nexus 7. The Nexus One was the best.
Best Buy has the black TF300T for $279. Ordered online last night, picked up this morning at 8am when they opened.
I have a Kindle Fire that I installed a new ROM on to make it an Android tablet, but I'm 60 years old and .... it was kinda small. I envied my wife's iPad for it's screen real estate. But didn't want an iPad. This, I think will do nicely.
Lol, welcome to the club. I have a feeling you're going to love your new tablet!

Yesterday i went to best buy and purchased 2 of these. 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. I was between this and the toshiba excite 10 and ultimatly chose the Asus because of the developer support for it. The Toshiba still hasn't been able to root yet so i didn't want to chance it. I wanted to find a device that would last me a while and would get Firmware upgrades via developers should the Asus decide to stop supporting it. Needless to say im loving it.
yay
Congratulations on the tablet. I went to Visions yesterday and got one for $278 and managed to charge it fully by noon and then drained it to less than 12% by early evening.
They charged me an environmental fee of 7.28 also + tax.
I'm pretty happy with it except for the proprietary charging connector.
I got the blue one.
Enjoy. Cant believe they have come down in price this much. I paid £400 ($650) less than a year ago
Put on CleanRom and you'll love it
I just ordered mine from Best Buy for $279 and the keyboard for $99. It was a steal.
I own a Nexus 7, so this will be interesting. Same processor though.

Its actually pretty easy to flash recovery. As far as root, I just went ahead and flashed a custom ROM that was already rooted.
There are some great tutorials in here that explain step by step what needs to be done. I had recovery on mine with a custom ROM in about 10 or 15 minutes. That included all the reading . Lol.
Word from the wise, use TWRP instead of CWM.

Had a similar experience at bestbuy. I checked online the day before and it was listed at $279. Got to the store a day later and they said they were not aware of the tablet ever being priced at $279. They insisted that the price was always $299. Asked them to check the website, but that was changed to $299. I insisted that the price was listed at $279 for about a month and asked to speak to the manager, five minutes later the sales person came back a and said the manager would honor that price. Persistence pays off. So far I`m really loving this tablet, coming from a Galaxy Tab Plus 7

The TF300 is a fantastic tablet. After holding a couple of iPads you really appreciate its light weight, and after hacking away at a few onscreen keyboards you really appreciate the keyboard dock. I find I am liking mine more the longer I own it.
I got the same deal. Pretty sweet.
It's only 16gb, I guess, but I already have a 32gb SD for my phone anyway, so I can always transfer that to the tab if need be.
i got a blue 16gb on amazon for $195 after Christmas sale. i couldn't pass that deal up. then i got a black keyboard dock from bestbuy for $49.99 last week. loving this tablet and love that it cost the same as my nexus 7!
