According to some sites the prime has been discontinued.
Hoping this isn't really the case.
And I cannot post outside links.

How are you going to throw out a statement like that and not even post these sources?????
False..lmfao. try again buddy.
My face? It is currently in my palms.
Asked by the OP to post this... remember, don't shot the messenger.

*Edit*
I have no idea why... can't watch the video, and I still haven't seen where is says it's discontinued... OHHH.... he's talking about the availability to purchase it... Dude, that probably just means they are out of stock!
It also says "or vendor". They're probably not able to get their hands on stock right now
Well, when I went to Best Buy to get my TFP replaced, she said that they couldn't replace it, because the particular model Grey TF201 32GB had been discontinued. Then she did an OMS and was able to send a new one to me. So I don't know. It's possible. But if it is. Asus owes us all New TF700t.
There's talk of this over at transformerforums also, I personally don't think it's true. Although if Asus is getting back the majority of the Primes sold as RMAs it might be their only choice.
My guess is that they'll fulfill their orders and then stop production of it and attempt to address the issues, allow a swap with the new one for those who have already bought it and then gut the old ones and put the the insides into the new casing and maybe sell them for a slightly discounted price.
Obvious this is just a theory, but I would like to see thi happen.
Getting the same thing at a much larger retailer: Newegg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230219
well damn..
It doesn't make sense for them to skip a whole price point, having the original transformer at $400, the Prime at $500 and the TF700 at $600. I'm betting this will discontinue this particular model, and replace it with the Prime+ or something like that which is just the Prime, but with the back casing from the TF700 to solve the wifi/gps issues.
Returns cost them money
Maybe they just don't want the hastle and expense of all the returns.
my second prime seems ok (just received 2 days ago) but hearing this news, what will it mean to those who keep it? Is it better to return it and wait for the new one or keep it and hope Asus will still support us and continue to update the original prime's software 6 months from now? I only have 1 week left to return....
Ok, I asked them on their wall on Facebook if it really was being discontinued (the official ASUS page on Facebook) and this is what I got in reply:
ASUS
Nothing but false rumours. -Mark, ASUS

Pretty much always better to wait for a new anything, if you have an alternative till then.
Asus should support it as far as updates for a while, they are even updating the original. Why wouldn't they?
Wasn't it reported Asus admitted it has a design compromise and removed GPS from the specs on some ASUS sites?
MAybe shipments are delayed as they are removing GPS from the box label?
Or are they going to change the design slightly to allow it to work better, who knows...
From a resale point of view it may drop in value quicker than normal.
Possibly a tweaked current model design,
won't be long till the iPad 3 is out and also the enhanced hi-res Prime.
Then Windows 8 transformer type tablets will hit with a big impact.
But today the Prime is still selling at a premium on eBay .
aww.... is that true and official?

Dude, WIFI being bad before the release was also FALSE RUMORS. Guess what? They weren't.
I am a noobie so please pardon my ignorance. This is my first tablet. It was my Christmas. I have read many posts here and tried to find answers about my problems. My GPS doen't work and it reboots a lot. Wifi is slow, but usable. some people say Asus will fix it but they said GPS is not supposed to work. My friend has a Samsung tablet and his works. I'm getting worried.
Other people say it is great, but maybe I just don't understand. The great thing I see is the water splashing on the screen in Riptide. I'd rather have GPS like my friend. Is it normal to buy a tablet and then find out it does not do what it is supposed to do and have so many problems? Is there really something better coming out soon? I don't like mine but would if everything worked good.

Did your Prime come with ICS (The latest Android software)? If it did not and you had to update the tablet once you brought it home, doing a factory reset might do the trick to help solve your problems. Just a thought.

Best to return it and get a full refund there will be a better one coming out. WiFi and GPS are supposed to be addressed in the newer Prime TF700T plus it has a better screen.

I found you in other posts. You are the one that said
"Also just got off the phone with the ASUS Engineering department and they are aware that the backing is whats causing the issue with the GPS signal I finally got to speak with an engineer after jumping through 100 hoops and explaining to them that I disassembled one of the Primes and it locked onto a GPS signal and navigated from point A to point B with no problems with the backing off of it."
I don't think it would operate while disassembled, from the pictures of the tear down. So, you're probably not much help if you're not telling the truth.

yeah not only 5 - 6 months but it will be 100 pounds more expensive when it does come out
Thank you everyone for trying to help. I've done the updates and resets but it didn't fix anything. I will have to return it soon before it is too late. I think I had rather wait for a better one or have something slower and not as pretty that works.
Hello newbie you came to the wrong forum, this forum is not gonna help you with anything,you come here only if you
1- complaint
2- write negative stuff
3- Tell everybody that you are returning your prime
4-That ASUS is the worst company in the world
5-Never ask for help,JUST COMPLAINT
6-If you don't own the prime you complaint even harder
7- YOU ARE TROLL
8-WRITE NONSENSE
If you don't do any of the above you will be laugh at as you are seeing

TF700T comes out Q2
Q2 is April, May, June
Thats also how long before complete interest is lost in the TF201 as it will be obsolete as a mid range product. Its a far better option to get the better TF700T also it will be the flagship model.

We get it, you don't like the 201 , firstly it will not be obsolete as its part of the prime range with the TF700. Asus have said this. How long do you expect it it stay the flagship model?. I can buy the 201 now for £500. You are going to wait at least 4 months with no tablet only to pay £600 after everyone else has had theirs for months. Of course its only a minor update really, still just a tegra 3 tablet and tegra 4 will be out 2 to 5 months after the TF700. So expect the transformer 3 within 6 months of the TF700. Yeah your super flagship model won't be flagship for long and chances are the transformer 3 will be quite a big spec jump

It's been stated that release date is the ass end of Q2 i.e June. Even then it won't be widely available and going by ASUS' track record there will be delays.
I was speaking with Aaron from the special TF201 hotline for GPS/WIFI/BT. I have removed the phone number due to ASUS preference that TF201 owner use their product support line at 1-888-678-3688.
I called to arrange to a second RMA for a TF201 unit that he would personally check over for me. But he informed me that I should now wait because new parts are currently being manufactured that will "fix a lot of the problems with GPS/WIFI". He said they're expected to arrive in USA by the end of March. Aaron said the news came from Taiwan this morning.
All I can say is awesome! This is the hardware update we've been waiting for. Keep your fingers crossed that the engineers get it right this time.
This is good news for the ones who are stuck with their Primes.
For me, that's too much of a long wait. I'll probably just return my Prime and get the TF700T instead and forget about all the Prime nightmares.
ASUS may not want this phone number posted publicly. The reason I gave it was for others TF201 owners to be able to call and confirm the new part story. Perhaps, if the phone number is removed, ASUS could make a public statement here in order to give credibility to the GPS/WIFI/BT fix.
Thanks.
Works for me
Now I do not have to figure out how to get a TF700T back for my prime. I don't the mind "lower" res screen I have now

Exactly what I was thinking. And good for ASUS because they keep my money.
This is indeed interesting, because if they really can resolve the GPS/wifi/BT issues with some new parts, that'll mean that the Prime will definitely continue on as a product and the TF700 really will simply be a higher-end device. I'd probably go ahead and send mine in to get fixed, although I'm happy with mine as it is now.
Personally, I'm still torn between wanting the performance benefits of a 1280X800 screen vs. a 1920X1200 screen (that's 2.25 times the pixels when the TF700 will only have about a 10% increase in Tegra 3 clock speed) as compared to having better text for ebook reading. I'm thinking I'm happy with what I have now, but I have to admit to a nagging doubt. If the rest of the issues could be resolved, I think maybe the money I saved over the TF700 will make up the difference.

Sounds like good news. But I don't trust the RMA ogres handling my TFP.
Not sure if I will send mine in when the fix is available, my Wifi works fine and my gps works outdoors(but not good indoors--but I don't care).

Right. The TF201 then fits in the middle of the pack. Thanks for not abandoning us ASUS.
hopefully when the new parts are available, RMAing the prime will be quick and shipping paid by asus
I hope these changes make their way into new units soon. I have an extended warranty with the retailer that I could exercise instead
This is good news indeed, thanks for posting it. But yeah, as it's been mentioned, it might be best to remove the number. By the same token, it would also be nice if Asus could confirm that these fixes are coming. They may not want to do so publicly if they don't want to deal with a colossal flood of RMAs, though...
There is nothing wrong with he gps. It will never get better.

They can probably base it off your serial # as to when they shipped it out. I know Acer does it if you dont have a receipt. Which in your case should still be well within 1 yr.
Order # should work too in most cases.

You should be able to request a duplicate receipt from retailer.
Wow, great news and really hope it's true.
I'm still waiting on replacement for my current prime, but I heard it could take another few weeks. With a possible fix in sight I can wait 2 extra months if needed
Will keep the prime, because it's perfect when wifi is fixed. GPS will be nice.
This resolution is good enough for common use and for ebooks I'm still going to buy a Sony eReader: too much reflection on the prime although IPS+ is indeed bright.
BTW this resolution is better (faster) for gaming than HD on Tegra3 (T700 does come with Snapdragon and tegra3 model right?)
So will this be covered if I unlocked my bootloader and stuff? Or can I do it myself?

If Transformer Prime being discontinued (or rather quickly being phased out than i anticipated) holds true .....
Why does it feel like I wasted 3/4 month of my life (probably 6 or 7 with the hype & anticipation before the release)!! Oh well, at least it lasted longer over HP Touchpad (sort of..)
Because of Best Buy's latest reported loss and CEO resigning, I'm sure they are always making smart decisions.

If Transformer Prime being discontinued holds true, I don't think it should be deleted or locked. People have the right to know & discuss the situation. And also, it gives warning to those potential Prime purchasers (few that are left in the wild) & the risk that comes with purchasing discontinued product.

I agree it would be good for people to know if the prime is being discontinued, my remark to locking the thread was towards the fact that there have been three of these threads already.
I dont want to be rude but seriously, i never said it was discontinued for sure, or it wasnt for sure, all i said is the signs are definately there (which is why so many people are coming up with these threads...)

True, but for some reason.. those threads got deleted. Plus, the OP didn't state anything about being discontinued or the status of Transformer Prime. He simply stated that he found a Prime in clearance section.
Oh, and if you exclude HP with HP Touchpad firesale... can you think of any Tablet OEM making a statement for discontinued product?
Here's a snippet of the bestbuy website result on a search on the asus prime.
a price drop for a device after 4 months or so being out is not unusual. its bby no means a fire sale. a fire sale isn't only $100 cheaper. it would be drastically reduced in price if so. like for $299 if they were trying to get rid of them that badly. maybe this is the first hints of price reduction on prime if tf-700 is to be released towards end of the year(as stated by a Jr. Asus manager in an email that was posted before).
maybe best buy has alot of units and that's their sale price for the moment? Who knows? but there aren't any facts to back up prime discontinuation yet. until the fat lady sings, Prime lives on. I'd say if its on sale for that price, people better run to the stores and get this great tablet for that reduced price

Exactly, nobodys going to advertise they are discontinuing a product, the natural progression is old stuff gets discontinued as new stiff comes in.
Also, definitely agree! If you can get a discounted prime, have at er, its a great tablet despite the issues people complain about, very good for games, movies, etc.
Why are all these people so concerned that the Prime is being discontinued anyways?
I own I Prime, I love my Prime.
I've owned Android devices since they first came out (Yes I have a G1 and yes it still actually works).
So what if the Prime is discontinued. I own one. Asus will still support the product (even if they don't want to, I believe the law says they have to).
So what's the big deal?
Just my 2 cents.
Not to add to the speculation because thats no good for anyone, but I purchased my prime about two weeks ago from Nebraska Furnituremart here in Kansas, I was told there were "about 30 in stock". I got the champange that was the only color they had, they also had dock but they were gray. I thought that was strange. Anyway I went back this past week to see if he got any gold docks, the salesman said no but checked to see if he could order me one we both looked at his screen and under thee prime in both colors and dock it read DSC. He told me that meant it was discontinued. So what every it's worth thats been my experience.
As a side note I just read that Toshiba just refreshed their tablet line as well as Samsung is releasing news tablets. It would seem to me if the prime is being phased out, it might be to compete with all these new tablets hitting the market.

Glad to see someone from KC on here! BTW I was at the BestBuy on 119th and saw two gray docks in stack as of this afternoon. I was thinking of doing the mix and match thing myself. Good luck.
Just logged on to BB app and took these screenshots. Looks like they are available for in store purchase near me. Still at 499.99.
Prime showed up right away when I searched for tablets and 2nd screenshot show details and in store purchase.

I just bought a C3 yesterday at BestBuy. They had two in stock. As I was checking out another fella was inquiring. I've been waiting for BB to get one in stock for about 3 weeks now. Finally found one. Great tablet... coming from an ipad1 its a great pairing with my SGS2. Already rooted and unlocked with Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.21 v1. Wifi/GPS seem fine and no screen problems as others have reported. Cleared battery stats and will see how the battery life is.

I'm a nobody and can expect to be wrong about release dates. But when Asus, the company themselves is wrong about the release dates makes me scratch my head harder. Not from the morphine either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26425513&postcount=12
It has been released, just not in the US, and probably on the slow side too.
"Asus has NO plans at all to release their 700 model until winter/Christmas holidays so they can reap in the big sales."
Good one opentoe.
Well they were right in that it's released end of Q2.. June is end of Q2..
Now, the US operates in a different fiscal year than the US.. US's Q2 ends March 31 while Taiwain's is June... Since ASUS is HQ'd in Taiwan and they did release in June, they made it.
So they were right at least.
You can already per-order in Sweden, it means they will be here in 2-3 weeks. But it is two expensive , around $900,00, way too much for a device running Android.Gonna for sure get a 3G or LTE Nexus 7 when they are out instead.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Thanks to all that have no learned from the Prime
Why you would want to pre-order the infinity after the Prime issues is beyond me but thank you all for buy it. Please come back and let us know if it is worth the money to buy one meaning does it behave and perform for the price paid.

According to a recent pcworld review, it comes with the same software glitches as the Transformer Prime.
Considering how well mine works for me, I welcome the improved WiFi, GPS and graphics performance. I will be placing an order as soon as I find a reliable seller offering it and will sell my good working TF201 on eBay as I did my good working TF101 before it.
Bye.
