Should I get the original transformer, the transformer prime, or go with one of the new thransformer pads?

When do you plan on purchasing it?
TF300 and Infinity won't be out for a few month, 3 ~6 month at least.
Padfone should be available in April.

What's your timing? Everything out now with the exception of the Prime is first generation. The Prime's got issues but if you're patient you can exchange it until you get a satisfactory specimen. It's not the device for you if you want GPS.
So, you can:
1) Buy a TF101 or other first-gen tablet for cheap and wait until later in the year to get a next-gen tablet.
2) Buy the Prime and know you might have to go through a couple to get one you're satisfied with.
3) Wait until other second-gen tablets come out from Asus and others and buy one then.
P.S. - My in-laws live in Lafayette.
And what do you plan to use the tablet for?
At this point it really isn't worthwhile to buy the original Transformer TF101. If you don't like the Prime, the TP300 will be out in 3-6 months that will be significantly better than the original TF101, but sold for the same price. If you really want a highres screen and LTE, wait for the TF Infinity.
I hope nobody rips me for this. But i have had about 5 TF 201's all worked pretty well aside from one had some dead pixels, and others had pretty bad light bleed.
The last one i returned was a C2 serial. Now i will make this clear i loved my Prime & i did miss it all times i had to return it and wait for another. But the random reboots usually 1-2 per day & the Browser lockup just would irk the hell out of me. And my constant problems with Youtube glitching. My wifi worked pretty well though. The icing on the cake was upcoming TF-700. Now who knows i might get another Prime i do check daily at my local Staples to see if they got any online.
I ended up going with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 "for now". They are on sale for $399 currently. Yes they are coming out with a 10.2 version 2 but its basically the same damn thing. Now the Galaxy Tab might not be zippy as the Prime "out of the box" but the Galaxy tab has been out for a bit and has a huge development section over here at XDA for custom Roms. So you can basically overclock it as soon as you get it and add custom roms from day one. Big for me.
One thing i noticed, now this is personal preference. I also just got a Galaxy Note Phone the other day. And i noticed while still using my Prime when i had it the colors seems washed out & the contrast did not seem as good as my Note phone. Basically is the same case with the Galaxy Tab. I prefer punchy colors others may not. So take that in consideration if you prefer natural tones. Blue & green tones are way vibrant compared to the Primes. Again personal taste here.
Tegra 3 is a great step for gaming. But i have a PS vita, a Xbox on a big screen so i don't game much on my tablet other than try ones out. I utilize my tablet to hack/root/customize & cool things like overclock, browse web, check email, watch youtube & browse XDA. And use it as a bathroom buddy .
So if you are willing to wait the obvious choice would be the New Prime Infinity. However id take a strong look at the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the price and the great development on it thus far.
I had the dock as well for the Prime which was cool, but i basically bought it to utilize a usb wireless mouse and plug my xbox controller into lol. As well as it was great for propping the tablet up rather than holding it.
The TF-101 would prob be a good choice too. But i am a Samsung fan, especially their phones. And just prefer their punchy colors.
If I get the prime and unlock the bootloader will I be able to take it back?

I don't see why not. I have exchanged a few of mine and they just take it out of the box for a sec. Maybe boot it up and exchange it no prob. As long as you are in your return period.
I just can't decide whether I should get the galaxy tab or the prime. I really like the prime but I don't wanna deal with the wifi issues
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Trust me the Prime is awesome if you are willing to deal with or wait until the kinks are worked out. And for the most part are around a stable wifi.
The Galaxy Tab is also a good choice for $399 and as i stated earlier i do like the more punchy colors. However the Prime will run ICS out of the box. But there are a ton of ROms for the Galaxy if you are willing to root.
How are the ICS roms for the galaxy?

There will soon be a ton for the prime too, development really just started. IMO it would be dumb to buy the galaxy tab at this point as its a first generation tablet and the second generation is already here. Seems like 400 down the drain you could use towards the prime or upcoming current generation tablets.

I totally agree that there will tons of roms for the prime. The only reason i can recommend the Galaxy tab over the "original" Transformer at this time is the fact that the newly announced Galaxy Tab is basically the same exact thing & spec & design wise.
Now i still would recommend the Transformer Prime if you are willing to be patient as well as get a good one. I find that the full aluminum back looks better than the new TF700. In my house my wifi has worked fine, pretty much on par with my Galaxy Note. And i always have my Galaxy Note with me to tether if i need a good wifi signal. But basically my Galaxy Note is a phone/tablet already lol.
So is the Prime worth the extra $100 now? I still think so, i was just throwing out other options. Keep in mind the Prime has the micro HDMI out built in & a micro SD card slot. While the Galaxy tab you would need adapters. So thats more $$$ there.
Thanks for all the help. I'm just gonna go to bestbuy and get which ever one they have in stock.

Just for reference i returned my Galaxy Tab. I brought it home and it sat on my desk last night and never opened it. So i picked up my 6th or 7th Prime. Cant remember at this point lol. I still love the damn thing. I am going without a keyboard dock at the moment though. To see how she does before i buy another.
I am just too impressed by the Prime. I just wanted to be honest. The Galaxy Tab is great. But if you are a tech junkie and want the latest and greatest. The Prime is the way to go if you can find one. Unless you were set on saving $100 bucks then the Galaxy would be a good choice.
Heres the deal, i already own a Transformer Prime & love it. My GF is due for a tablet upgrade. I am debating on getting her a Prime & a dock. The versatility is great with the Prime & i think she would enjoy it. However.... She is not gonna play any 3D games to prob take advantage of the Tegra 3. But she does like to play old school NES games on my Prime from time to time, does that rhyme? Lol.
Now do you think its worth the $650 for the Prime and the dock for her? Basically she wants something that is fast on web browsing and a smooth UI "ice cream sandwhich". And like me she enjoy's latest and greatest.
Or should i just get her something like a iPad 3. Now Apple makes great products but just too closed source for me and i get very bored with them. I am not sure which way to go. I mean with the iPad i would save $150. I am a firm believer that if you get the Prime the docks is a must! To take full advantage of how its intended to be used.
Best buy has the galaxy tab 10.1 for $399. But the extra $100 seems like a logical upgrade for the Prime or iPad 3 for her. The upside for me if i got her a iPad 3 i would gain a super awesome direct TV remote and guide that is on the itunes store. Not sure why Android market has not gotten this yet.
Thoughts?
How much does your g/f care?
I know plenty of girls that would blow me for a Kindle Fire. None of them even know what a Prime is.
prime has best value and versatility out of any tablet with the dock combo. nothing else compares. plus the extra battery life added is priceless. it all depends on how much you want to spend. if you want something lower priced, might as well go with an OG transformer n dock. if you want the extra power that can be used at will, go with the prime. if you want something with very limited features, simple to use, and closed ecosystem, then ipad3 is what you want.

Lol tha's hilarious. Basically she cares enough that she lets me buy all my expensive gadgets. So she likes to feel like she has a good device for the most part. Plus she likes me to Root/rom & all that good stuff for her too.

I think i am gonna go with the Prime for her. I already have a dock for mine so we can obviously share. I don't always have mine docked and i am sure for the most part she will use her's without the dock. So its a win win & save the extra $150.

That would be my recommendation. No leading edge tablet is going to cost less than $500 so you might as well get here a Prime if you want to stay with Android. Since she doesn't have a dock now, I would want on buying her one until she decides she really needs one and like you have said you can always share.
However. If you can wait a few months to get her a new tablet. You could upgrade yourself to the Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700, or whatever they are calling it these days) and give your GF your "old" Prime. You could also give her your dock since I don't think the Infinity is compatible with the Prime's dock.
If you don't want to spend that much money, and can still wait a few months, you could get the Transformer Pad (TP300), which is a slightly (very slightly) scaled back TF Prime intended to replace the TF101 as the budget tablet offering. These will start @$400 for the 16GB model and will have a plastic back so GPS and WiFi should be improved over those built into the Prime.
Ummmm, The DirectTV remote is on the Market. I use it all the time.........

Not the "remote" iTunes actually has basically a on screen guide app where it has a section to save top shows and what's on etc. YouTube it. Also has the ability to watch dire t tv on wifi on the ipad.

You could get her the TF101 with dock for only $50 than the TF201 (Prime) without dock.
If she's not going to do a lot of gaming and stuff this would most likely be more than enough.. still completely blows away the iPad 2 IMO.
You can check Craigslist too.. there are some people selling the TF101 WITH dock for about $400 in my area.
Here is my question, I'm looking for a really good tablet with great battery life and I wanted to get the Vibrant community's opinion as to which is the best.
Please refrain from posting about apple products I simply do not like apple as a company and refuse to give them my business.
I would appreciate it if in addition to your selection you could tell me your reason for feeling why its the best.

I picked up an Asus Transformer (OG-not the Prime) a few weeks ago at Best Buy for $399 (Bob Shute almost convinced me to get the Nook Color though). It was the 32gb on sale for the same price as the 16gb (so why not) + it has external, so i have 64+/-gb of storage. I had lurked in a bunch of forums checking out support, ROMs, rootable, "official" ICS and general attitude of the forum members.
When I got it out of the box it was running 3.1 and I had known that it had an OTA update waiting. Within 30mins of getting it, I had upgraded, Rooted and was on my way to being a tablet owner. It was real easy to do too. The battery life on 3.2.1 was really good. Granted I am not using it all day long but I was getting about 2-4 days out of it. Kids would play games, watch Netflix, I would surf and my wife would do her coupon spreadsheets (yes she is one of those ladies and we do have a stockpile).
Fast forward to the ICS update. We got the OTA update and for some reason there is an issue with the kernel and people are getting random reboots. I am not sure if it is just me knowing what I am doing from so many tweaks with this phone and past ones or I just got a good tablet, but I messed with the governors and it has been 3 weeks since upgrade and I haven't had one yet. Knowledge is Power. Felt you should be aware of that though. Battery life on ICS is outstanding. I get 4-6 days out of it easily. Might cut it down now that baseball spring training has started and I can stream live video to it.
Conclusion- A few things. The Transformer (tf101) is just as good as the Prime (tf201) and actually I think it is better b/c the Prime has wifi, GPS and other hardward issues, but its bootloader can be unlocked whereas the tf101 is still lock for now. Another things is that you have to remember that these are seconday devices to most people and some of the redundant questions you see are rediculous.
My suggestion is to lurk in the Acer, Transformer, Galaxy, Xoom forums and see what is going on in them. Plus there are a bunch of smaller tablets coming out soon with Tegra3, Quad-core, low price,...
HTH and let me know if you have any Q's and sorry for the long post.
what do you want to do with this tablet?
I know you said not to mention any apple products but...
seriously dude even the iPad 2 is better than any android tablet out right now. iPad (third generation) just killed everything else. I know you don't like apple as a company but the iPad is pretty much the tablet market, the only tablet one should be getting. You're going to regret it if you don't get an iPad...

Ill be using the tablet for school mostly. Ill have about 100 lbs of books that id rather not have to carry with me everywhere. Ill also be using the tablet for light gaming just to keep me entertained from time to time as well as serving to replace my laptop for day to day tasks. Granted i know not everything can be accomplished by a tablet so ill still have my laptop at my apartment but need something light and portable but capable so i was thinking tablet.
As far as no apple products, they seem to hate me, i touch one and they seem to break they dont function properly and im honestly not convinced that they are the best product on the market. Their Marketing department tries to convince you of that but i hardly agree. (i wont get into it i don't want this to turn into a flame thread) regardless thank you for your input.
Ive been looking alot at the Transformer and TF Prime as well as the 10.1 inch samsung variants, but since i have ICS running on my Vibrant id very much like to have it running on my Tablet, i intend to run stock for a while until stable versions of either CM9 or AOKP are released for the device since i will be using it in a more productive than leisurely role.
@ woodrube thank you for the length of your post i appreciate the time you put into your response
@junglerumble thank you for your input, tho i whole heartily disagree with you (to each their own)
does anybody have an idea of the android tablets that are coming out in the first half of this year and when? I want to get a tablet but not at the moment. I'm waiting till more tablets come out to make up my mind but it would be nice to have some foresight.

I used several different Android Honeycomb tablets, but gave up on all of them because I felt the software weren't advance enough for my purposes, so I got a Windows tablet instead. Then sold that and got the Galaxy Note (international version) which I think is the best consumer portable device made so far, since it acts as a phone and tablet, has the same resolution as the tablets (1280x800, and is even (much) faster than Tegra2, yet pocketable, has Wacom pen, can make phone calls and ultra fast GPS locking, awesome camera), although I didn't keep it since it doesn't support T-Mobile 3G.
Out of the Honeycomb tablets, I liked the Acer A500 and Toshiba Thrive most since it has fullsize USB connector, which works with flash drive and gamepads. I think the Asus Slider should be better since it has fullsize USB and keyboard as well, just a bit heavier. I do not feel tablets with Tegra2 is fast enough to handle 'higher' bitrates HD contents and MKV videos, although other purposes are fine, regular HD video should be okay. I also feel all Android tablets are overpriced for their present software features, unless at refurb price, if it were Ubuntu or some full fledged linux distro I'd be more interested. Which is why I think Windows 8 tablets will have some success, even though I'm not interested in Windows 8.
+1 OG Transformer. Great device

I want to thank everyone for their responses, after spending some time playing with the devices in store and reading through the developer forums I have decided on getting the TF prime, just seemed to blow everything else outta the water once all the tablets had 100+ apps installed and running live wall papers. Luckily i was able to find one at a local retailer since everywhere else was sold out.
I was so close (money in hand) to buying the Galaxy 10.1 but after reading this I decided on the TF201.
Darn near ever place Ive looked is out of stock though.
addition:
It didn't take much for me to switch. After this phone and its total lack of support, I try to stay clear of anything that has Samsung on it.
Thus far I have to say that my impressions of the tfp are extremely favorable so far I have experienced none of the recorded issues with the tablet save maybe the GPS but I have yet to test it outdoors the stock ics keyboard is far better than I expected on the tablet
I will update more as I have more time and experience with the tablet if so desired

I saw that due to the GPS issues they no longer advertise the tab has a GPS. Imagine if Samsung was forced to do the same for our phone's crummy GPS.
Id expect similar GPS to our phones. I ended up buying a real nice Tom-Tom GPS for my car so the phone GPS is bout always off now.

If and when it comes time to Root your device (I did it within 30mins of having it) You can use ViperMod and install Supercurio's OTA Rootkeeper and any updates you get, just open the Rootkeeper up and restore root. Handy little app if I do say so.
I recently purchased a Transformer Prime with the keyboard doc and I have no regrets. It's awsome. I've not experienced any of the GPS/hardware issues mentioned either.
Just a heads up:
Staples is no longer carrying the Transformer Prime in store.
If you search on Staples.com it shows them as a low stock clearance item.
Best Buy is also out of stock at almost every store around me. It makes me feel like the Transformer Prime is no more.
I was hoping to get another Transformer Prime if they ever fixed the Bluetooth issue with the Wi-Fi dropout while streaming audio. Did that problem get fixed? The one Best Buy near me has some C30 serial number Primes should I go get one? I would love to have one if the issues were fixed.
Bored...anything else?
In poland Prime is able to buy in all big internet stores and media markt, saturn etc.
Please close this thread. If any store is no longer carrying prime I should make a new thread...lol?

Noticed Ncix is listing fewer editions of the Prime. I think its only a matter of time it becomes a blip in history.
The TF201 not being available is a good thing for customers. I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit for this product already.
Avoid ASUS at all cost. I spent nearly $1,000 on 2 of these crappy tablets. Never again.
yay its the weekly "prime's gonna be discontinued" thread. I was wondering when it would turn up!
Its like when a good old friend comes back to you and gives you a warm sweaty hug. You want to just push it away from you and get a looong shower but then what would we do without him? He keeps telling you there will be rain but the sky is just perfectly clear... Where does he come from? And why does he keep coming back!?
hm i think i got carried away a bit with that analogy
I got a huge b and have catalog today and in the tablet section they pretty much had every tablet out.. Even the TF 300 and the galaxy note 10.1 but no sign of the prime... Hmm

I am not trying to start an issue, I am just stating facts. I work at Staples and you can check the website and click on find in store if you don't believe me.
I feel like if you can't find a Prime in almost any store because the stores are not carrying them anymore then that means something!
Why do people get so upset when someone tells them it looks like the Prime is going away? Is it that you don't want the tablet you bought to be discontinued? Deal with it, if you like the tablet then good for you, if it's discontinued are you going to like it less?
I hate to fuel the fire but have we seen any C40 serials yet?
There's another side to stores carrying or not carrying the Prime. Just because a manufacturer offers a product doesn't mean that every reseller will sell it. They'll stock (B&M) and offer (online) what sells and/or feature the products from the manufacturers that offer the best volume incentives and marketing support cash. Why do you think so many resellers stock and feature Samsung tablets? Because their incented to do so (carrots and sticks). Think of the volume of Samsung products BB and Costco sell when you factor in appliances, TV's, audio, and laptops. Asus can’t offer BB and Costco a 2% invoice discount on TV’s for pushing the Prime whereas Samsung can. Buyers for resellers use their calculators when determining what to stock and aren't awed by shiny aluminum back covers.

Nope, not that I know of.. or of any comments I have read. I brought this up in another thread....
Btw, Prime will not be discontinued because Asus will not publicly & officially come out with a statement that it'll get discontinued. You will just stop seeing them in stores, or will be "difficult" to purchase/find as time goes on (although, this has been the case since launch...).
I did notice the MTR review of the Pad 300 being a c4 serial.... Why would they Pad 300 start their serial C4 if the last prime we saw had a C3?? Makes me question the prime even more.
Try to think of it this way how often have you seen a car company simultaneously manufacture the current model year and last years model ? Right now is the "year end sale" phase of the prime life cycle. They will more than likely introduce the infinity within the comming months. Once its on sale is is highly unlikely sales from the prime would cover the cost making the prime at that point due to it basically being made obsolete by the infinity.

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.
I was able to easily get 500 out of my first transformer on ebay, this time around not so much luck.

Probably going to stick mine on eBay and Gumtree!
Mine is going on Craigslist & I haven't seen enough reviews on the 7 to get it. I'm looking at getting a ipad or a laptop.
already purchased one through Google play. UPS showed original scan at Ky hub center @ 9:20a.m. now ups shows my device leaving KY, departure scan, @ 2:09p.m.. so its on "In Transit" status now. will arrive for delivery to me tomorrow. can't wait!
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 ...

lets hope for jellybean and kernel upgrade anywhere soon!
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.
