So, I've seen lots of posts with complaints or concerns about the prime but let's have a thread to share our positives about it. If all we see are the negatives or the couple of bad tablets no one will want one. Sooooooo, I'd like to hear what you guys who do have it like about it, what did Asus do RIGHT?
Please share your thoughts!
UPDATE:
Include the model and color in your posts please!
I like how snappy is. It does not lag like the xoom or the tab. I'm very happy with it. I also noticed that battery life is longer than the tab. Gotta love that fifth core.

Everything working great so far on my end, including GPS.
I'm still trying things out, though.
No more checkerboard display on web browsing, no typing lag in web. Snappier than the originali love mine. Sound is better than tf just wish it had two speakers. Great battery life. Can't wait for ics and optimized programs! Wouldn't trade it in for anything else!
I like that I got a tracking number for mine lol.

Everything works great on mine.Went into maps & it instantly locked on to me.Web browsing is a breeze. Love that I can play full HD on YouTube. I love the haptic feedback too.Reminds of the old galaxy tab with that option lol.This baby makes my XOOM look bad.I love it.Also mine has no light bleed.
Love my Prime! GPS and Wifi work fine, ULTRA snappy, looks/feels good. Had it out at my wife's family Christmas and it was THE topic of conversation.

Best buy, pre-ordered on the third. It's currently in Louisville, KY and is headed to Erie, PA and should arrive on Wednesday

i love how thin it is, how it feels in hand, the screen, how snappy it is in general (especially since it's still running HC), the camera is quite decent, and i really like the small touches asus added to HC to make it more useable.
i'll love it even more if asus delivers us ICS in a few weeks.
Its super thin, super sexy, and the sound quality out of the speaker is downright amazing.

Excellent, keep 'em coming! This is what I wanted to hear. It's nice to know that it does deliver!

I've gotta say, I can't fathom how so many people can have so many different opinions of the Prime's speaker. To some it's terrible, tinny, low-volume, etc. To others it's amazing, full, full of base, and loud.
Is it that peoples' expectations are so difference, are they listening to different sources, or is there some variation in hardware that's causing this discrepancy?
I might have two Primes to compare to each other this week (supposed to be getting one from both Best Buy and Abt), and if I do I'll be sure to compare them side by side to see if they're different. Because this is driving me batty...

I think some people are just using poor quality songs to test out the speaker. I used a 320kbps mp3 streamed over wifi from Google music, and it sounded amazing. The speaker hit the high notes and even the low ones. I tested it out with dubstep, too, so I was really testing all the ranges the speaker could hit when I tested it. No distortion of any kind, and the bass was easily heard (but sadly not felt, lol).
I played with one at my local gamestop and loved it. It felt and looked top notch and got my wife's approval as well. Just playing shadowgun was enough to convince me. Scrolling was great and much better than my modded VS Gtab. I get mine on wednesday and hope i don't have some of the manufacturing problems (Screen bleeds and no starts) that some are having. If i don't i know i will love it!
Aside from possible GPS issues, my prime has been stellar. Really an awesome device.
TF201 / XDA premium
More than very impressed with my device. I can clearly see why reviewers said this is the best/most powerful tablet out now. I would reccomend it to anyone in an instant! haven't been able to set it down yet. plus I'm loving this thumb keyboard. makes typing very easy n the skins for it look great. slideIt is good also but as soon as I got this thumb keyboard, it was a wrap. this is a must have for any tablet. I'm sure writers, bloggers, students, etc...will love the ease of use and speed typing with thumb keyboard.

I agree with you here I feel like most things should get much louder then they do especially notice if you play youtube videos some do not get very loud at all with volume at max... seems to be max volume is really 40-50% and you should be able to turn it up another 50% but its just not there.

I've noticed that on my phone and even on my computer. It seems sometimes it's youtube that has that problem.
So, hopefully by now alot of you have had a good week to play with them Primes. Have things continued to work well?
I've been on delay from amazon for a while now for the 64GB version and I just wanted to make sure that they can indeed hold up. I really want to like the Prime but I also want to make sure that there are good, non-problematic primes out there.
So I got these headphones as part of a challenge from MEElectronics. At first glance they may seem simply the Sport version of the m6, but taking a closer look they are way more. They are some great sound isolating IE buds that are worth way more than their MSRP. Check this write up and let me know what you think. It may be a bit long but I want to be as detailed as I can
In Box Contents: earbuds, extension cable, armband, plenty of tips in different sizes, manual, carrying case, and clip!
Look:
These headphones look sweet! Not to mention the red and black combination are perfect for my Evo LTE since I have the black one. They have a nice design to them, and they definitely look slick! I've always been a fan of the red cable so I was happy to see that in these.
Fit:
As you can see from the pictures, these headphones come with loads of tips! They have a set for pretty much every sort of ear out there. I myself would have to say have a "normal" ear if there is such a thing and my ear canal is not huge or tiny either so several of the tips worked well for me. They also have what they call Memory Wire near the buds. This wraps around the ear for an even more secure fit. Honestly it took some playing with it to get it right but it was worth the time; once they are in and locked in place they aren't going anywhere! I went for a run in these bad boys and I have been known to sweat up a storm. All I can say is they stayed the whole time and never had to readjust!
Durability:
I have only had these for 4 days. I have ran twice with them and both times got very sweaty. They are marketed as being sport sweat resistant and so far so good. They have not messed up on me or anything so that is awesome! The cable on these is a good thickness. It seems durable but not bothersome. Included is a carry case for the whole kit so that really helps to keep these babies safe! The case is pretty tough and can hold up to some abuse.
Sound:
Ok, the most important part - sound. Let me start by saying I have many years of experience with headphones, speakers, and anything audio related. My current running headphones were some Bose and as we all know they're not the best out there I really like the sound on these headphones! The bass is just right for me and I can actually enjoy hearing my music with most/all of it's instrumentation unlike many other brands out there for listening to some "beats" lol. Bass is very present, and more than enough to shake a few screws loose up there. The highs were surprisingly clear, and this is something not found in most "bassy" earbuds. For being workout headphones they're awesome!! You won't get better sound plus sweat resistance in anything out there that I've seen.The only bad thing I noticed was that the mids were a bit muddied up at times right out of the box. Of course this is not a big deal out of the box, now if it were the case after burn in then I'd be upset!! But, I just finished the burn in period today and I did notice some improvement in the miss being clearer and more defined now.
Major plus here was the cable being pretty silent compared to other IE buds. Cable noise drives me crazy!! Thankfully these didn't have that problem.
IMPORTANT!!!
These isolate sound pretty well! That's a huge deal when you're in noisy environments and want to get away from the noise BUT it can be an issue if you're running out in the street with traffic so just a heads up! I'm actually going to try them out as in ear monitors pretty soon so I'll let you know how that goes
Overall I can just say I love my new S6. Check them out, they're pretty legit.
They look really nice. I have the klipsch s4a and the are really good also. The color on yours are definitely a plus. Like the red and black.

Put them through the test as monitors and they worked pretty well! For.their.price.range these bad boys are awesome

Update:
Left some tips in my truck and the sun some damage to them! But I tried those warped tips on and I love them!! Got way better fit since they expanded and seal even better. Bass is now tight but very present

I bought the black ones about 8 months ago, they work pretty good, no signs of wear yet, I use them to go walking 3 times a week,
the sound quality might not be as good as you would expect right out of the box, you have to let them burn out a little ..
I'm a satisfied customer!
I recently got MEElectionic's A151 headphones/earbuds. Only $50 and so far I like them much better than the Beats, Bose, and Klipsch that I've had.
wow the MEElectronics A151's are only $50 on Amazon right now....making it tough to decide b/w them or the MEElectronics Sport-Fi S6's....I currently have Klipsch S4a's and was interested in the features of the Sport-Fi S6's, but I believe the A151's are supposed to be better and at the same price now it throws a kink into it.....
They are awesome. For running and sports though best choice is s6 given durability. Can't go wrong with either as far as sound goes. Both are awesome value. I've been using my.s6 as iem and am very happy

just have no clue how much better the driver is and if its worth it...like does the sound improvement seen with the 151's make up for the loss of other lil features the S6 has...
I'm usually not to given to fall into the hype of little features lol but in this case to me it was worth it. But that's just because they're specifically my running headphones. I just finished a nice run right now btw, dripping sweat and they never missed a beat!
Thanks for putting me on to this company. I consider myself a mild audiophile but it seems I need to get back into the game! Had never heard of these guys until now. For $50 I may give them a try. These would be primarily used for weight lifting and 40-200 meter sprints.
They'll be awesome for that. You can drown out all the overscreamers at gyms haha

used them both at work this morning here just now and the first initial thing I noticed is that the A151's are about 2x as loud than the Sport Fi's....give the clearity edge slightly to the A151's too but all that is expected given the specs of each set....
both are designed to have the cord go over your ear but the sprotfi's can save the angle when bent, and also has the detachable extension, along with armband it comes with where as the A151's you dont have those lil features...The 151's cord is twisted unlike the Sportfi's and does have the little thing to stop the earbuds from getting tangled also like the sportfi's do...
I guess it comes down to what you want...audio quality or the extra lil features the Sportfi's have and deal with the lessor audio quality(though its not bad)...

I never thought that I would use my phone as my primary media consumption device. I had always used my smartphones for on the go browsing but now I find myself grabbing the note without thinking even though a laptop and desktop are within arms reach. I never feel that frustration of everything being just a little bit to small to truly enjoy anymore.

This is the exact opposite of me. I have gone through 10 years of pdas and cell phones combinations looking for that one device that would cover both and give me a pc like experience. now i have it.
It is so much quicker to whip out my phone and get info while others are booting/logging into their laptops atmeetings.
Back on topic: guess it would be gaming. I'm getting older now and just don't game as much now that my kids are all pretty much grown up but playing asphalt 7 on here is a trip.

I actually prefer tapatalk to my PC now, and I do a fair amount of browsing while I watch TV. My phones have been my primary source of music playing for quite awhile, I have about 11gb of music, 32gb SD card. Surprisingly you can watch a movie on the phone pretty easily, my complaint is the lack of a front speaker, this is a glaring omission to me, they want us to use our smart phones for all kinds of media, but you have to cup your hand behind the speaker to hear it. We have front facing cameras, give me a speaker, too.

All due respect, but that's a workaround. Lots of times I'm trying to show somebody a YouTube video, can't hear it, or I might want to watch a Netflix, and need to be able to hear my kids in the other room.

Are there substantially louder phones out there? This is the loudest phone i have had and usually people remark on how loud it it is.

Yes or No and why. I'm on the fence right now and really wanna know what it's like walking, sitting down and operating a huge phone.
If you can operate a Note 2 you can operate this phone. It is a bit hard to use with one hand but you can with some getting used to it
I would trade 1 handed use for screen any day. How often are you stuck with just 1 hand to do everything? 3% of the time maybe?
I am very comfortable using the phone. I thought size might be a factor but it's not. It is a pleasure to use.
I would imagine using it as a small tablet is comfortable, but are you guys using it as a phone by itself? As in holding it up to your head? Or do you pair a bluetooth device to make calls?

Yes, I use it as a phone holding it to my head. I bought a bluetooth device thinking I would use that as a handset but it remains unused.
Are there any issues with the other side hearing you? While on my note 2, if I'm not talking in normal/loud voice, the other person may complain they can't hear me very well (or maybe it's just this particular restaurant in specific). Since the XZU is so long, it'll go WAY past where your mouth is.

No complaints as of yet.
I don't have the largest hands and I can type in landscape with very little effort. It is hefty, but since it's so slim, you don't really notice. I've made a few phone calls and I'll admit, it looks strange, but doesn't feel unnatural.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
No issue for me, if still comfortable for me.
I can make calls with it no problem. No need for a bluetooth device at all unless you want one.
My biggest concern actually is using the phone as a music player. The audio jack is on thw side so it might be too tight on the pants. And while driving, it might be impossible to switch between tracks with one hand lol
I wish android implemented swipe gestures on the screen to wakeup. Its almost effortless and is an elegant solution especially if your phone is idle on a table top

Coming from iPhone 5, I need some adjustment to typing on this device. However, browsing websites and reading articles from Current and Buzzfeed is great, it has that book-reading feel to it. In fact, the big ass screen makes it a pleasure.
It's easy to hold with one hand but making phone calls made me feel awkward, and a little bit embarassed.
I feel like I made the right choice to return to android with this device. I wish it has tablet capacity battery though.

The audio jack on the side is ridiculous - sony did this on XSP too (sony seems to be good at spoiling decent devices ), especially on a "smartphone" this big :silly:
I'm also getting an XZU in couple of weeks, and if using audio cable while the phone is in my pocket proved impossible, I think the workaround is using the wireless bluetooth.. Sounds like it defeat the purpose of a fully-waterproofed audio jack, but some compromise must be made, huh
First look I worry about the size, now I love the size. Inside my pocket no problem for walk, sit and run. I put my note 2 and zu together with my jean pocket or short paint is ok. No doubt.
One hand operate no problem for me. Because I m the big hand.
When incoming call also no problem, answer without bluetooth. Now I won't worry the size only how to root my device.
One more think is this device suitable for male better than female. When my wife hold it look like holding a M16.

I found the Note 2 too awkward to use so I sent it back. If I had issues with that would this device be even worse?
I don't have the ZU yet, so I can't really give you an answer, but what didn't you like about the Note 2? Was it too big?

It was partly the size but more just its general handling, reaching across the screen even though I tried clustering stuff on one side of it. I had a Galaxy Note sometime prior & I got on with that reasonable well & though the Note 2 was bigger of screen I still thought I would be OK with it.

I've got the Jaybird bluebuds and they are great. I replaced the tips for some foamy ones and they fit great.
The sound is awesome and I've never had a problem with the battery.
I recommend them

They Jaybird Freedom Sprint has Apt-X. I use this one. It has very crappy battery life at 4.5 hours. But then again it is targeted only for working out and so is more than sufficient for a workout session hell even two days off Strictly workout sessions.
I know a LG representative that has the tones and all bias aside he loves them he's a boxer. When he trains he says they do not move even when he sweats. And they also have phenomenal battery life, but for me I would just use the J birds if I was strictly doing workouts.
If you are looking for something that is to replace your headphones and you want to go wireless all around, then I would recommend the Bluedio R+ bluetooth headphones. They are apt X bluetooth 4 NFC and has a slot for microSD card so if your phone is dead and use a micro SD card for your music you can just pop it in the headphones and be good to go! All of this for under $100. Its roughly under a hundred if you order from China or you can get them on Amazon and ebay for about $120 to $140.
I ordered mine from http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1174967490.html
Mine are on the way so I have not tested it personally but if you read all reviews about them everyone has something good to say about it. They are apparently the best in their class for the money if you like to listen to music with alot of bass.

One thing I forgot to mention about the J bird freedom sprint is that it is the second version the one right before the blue but X. The new ones are horrible in terms of sitting in your ears that is the number one thing you read about them. This sounds post to be excellent and so the battery life at about eight and a half hours but what is the point if they can't even fit in your ears comfortably while you're working out.
However the freedom Sprint version which is roughly 80 dollars, is the most comfortable earphones that I have tried. Even the call mic quality is good. They do not fall out if you use the honeycomb shape inserts, which taper off at the end in the same shape as that little groove in your ear right above the ear hole...and it just clicks right in

Those are Bluetooth 3.0, didn't they say they want 4?

I have the Motorola S11 Flex HD and they support Apt-x. I think they are BT 3.0 though.

The Anker And Meelectronics looking tempting. But the both have lots of reviews that mention poor BT connectivity. That makes me a bit nervous.

Not used any BT 4.0 headphones/receivers yet, but been very happy with the Samsung HS3000 for more than a year now. BT 3.0 but with Apt-X, love the versatility of being able to use different headphones with it - IEM for exercise/when portability is of paramount importance, full-sized cans when wanted, or even connecting to stereos etc via 3.5mm-3.5mm cable. Can be had really pretty cheap now too, around the $30USD mark.
FYI, list of Apt-X gears here: http://www.csr.com/technology-solut...wered-by-csr-aptx/bluetooth-stereo-headphones

[/COLOR]One thing I forgot to mention about the J bird freedom sprint is that it is the second version the one right before the blue but X. The new ones are horrible in terms of sitting in your ears that is the number one thing you read about them. This sounds post to be excellent and so the battery life at about eight and a half hours but what is the point if they can't even fit in your ears comfortably while you're working out.

The problem with the Jaybirds is that they care about sound quality, so the openings where the sound comes out are really large for a pair of ear buds. This in turn makes it hard to find comfortable tips that fit in your ears.
The tips that come with the buds are all too large to sit comfortably and they all feel like they are going to fall out (though they never actually have)
I recently went to target and found some foam tips in the bargain bin. I forced them over the tips of the bluebuds and it solved all the problems. They fit great and I never feel like it is going to fall out.

wow, those anker's looks really nice. great battery life, a good design, and a company I trust because I've used their products with no issues.
might jump on these, just picked up some LG Tones+ from my work for super super cheap tho...
I just picked up a pair of the LG tone + from Best Buy price matched to Amazon and I wouldn't be happier they are bt 3.0 I believe and have apt-x

They can be pricey, but the battery lasts up to 8 hours, comes with a lifetime warranty, and they are really quality built.
Even the packaging is impressive. Sweat proof.
I'm telling you, I'd buy them again, and I'm a cheapskate.
you guys are right about the LG Tones+. They are awesome! I forget I'm even wearing them half the time because they're so lightweight. Also, they sound amazing, I don't need BT 4.0 for them to work great, they have AMAZING battery life (rated for 10, not 8 hours for music) and I used them all day at work 2 days in a row, while still having the battery on 'medium'. That was 2 10 hour shifts too.
I didn't think I'd like the design, because I thought it looked clunky, but like I said I barely can tell I'm wearing them. Maybe once my Fiance sees them she'll think otherwise on the styling, which is when I'll probably pick up the ankers, but for now, these work wonderfully and impressed me.
The only gripe I have (and this isn't specific to this headset, it pertains to all BT headsets) is I can only pair with two deices at once, unless I'm mistaken? I want to use this with my new MBP, my iPad and my Note III. My PS3 would be an added bonus, anyone know how to accomplish this or if I'm just being a newb and doing it wrong?
My Jaybird Bluebuds X work great as well. You can buy the tips from the site below.

FYI for those interested in the BackBeat Go 2 Tiger Direct has them for $69.99 (instant $10 off) and a $20 mail in rebate for a final price of $49.99.
I know mail-in rebates kinda suck. But it a good deal at $49.99

Those are the exact same tips I got. But for like 3 dollars at Target.
