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.

I talked To a person they said they are getting them in the warehouse on the 8th and should be shipping in 1-2 business days after that! Unless they receive them early then they will start processing early...

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.
I have an order for the 64 GB Prime (Gray) at Amazon and have not received the cancellation notification yet.
However, just to be on the safe side, I also pre-ordered from J&R.
Well, just about 5 minutes ago, J&R called me and told me that the 64 GB (Gray) will not be shipped out until January 2012 due to Asus suspending the shipment.
How is it that I keep reading on here that Gamestop would have it available on December 19 ? Why is it that Asus suspend the Prime on some store and not on others? Strange.

This seems to be the same thing that happened to the Amazon preorders.
None of the "official" ASUS preorder sites took orders on the 64GB version... I'm wondering if I just shouldn't expect this until mid-January. No date in December for a 64GB version seem to be panning out...

Given that Gamestop is listed as an official preorder destination on Asus' website, and J&R is not, I don't find this all that surprising. There is almost certainly an extra middleman distributor supplying stores like J&R, Adorama, and some of the other sites folks have found to order one, but Asus' commitment is to their official preorder outlets, and making sure they have enough stock to fulfill their preorders.
I haven't received a call from J&R yet, but I figure I will. When did you order yours Earthbrain?
This seems to be the trend. Newegg still seems to be on track, as is gamestop. ASUS is funneling the supply into a more focused retail base, and seems to staying true to their main channel partners.
Certainly no doubt at this point that there is a huge shortage of this thing...what concerns me is that there was such a huge initial preorder allocation, and it isn't that they are running out of preorder slots, it's that the stock just isn't appearing in the supply chain...which in the industry usually means a manufacturing issue.
That is of course unless ASUS just grossly underestimated the demand.

Crap. I ordered mine on Sunday, and I got the 32GB flavor which you would think would be in even shorter supply. I guess I'll call them today.
So weird that it seems like my Gamestop preorder is going to be the one that holds up at this point.
I placed my order a while ago and got the "backordered" email, but that was explained to me that they must send it if the unit isn't available or a special pre-order. I was told it's still on target for the 15th as they hadn't received new info.

I'm not sure this forum and those placing pre-orders is a good indicator for demand. The technophiles here may only represent a tiny percentage of the population. I think we'll find out when they hit Amazon or Newegg if they remain in stock.

I'm skeptical of the huge demand as well. I live in a small twin city situation with about 200,000 people within 2 towns 20 miles apart. Between the two Gamestops in my area that sell tablets (there are 3 or 4 GS's per town) there have only been two preorders. Total. Me and one other guy. I will be interested to see the initial sales numbers on this device. I think overall, to the general public, Android tablets have a bad(cheap) name. At the GS in the town neighboring mine the manager said they are about to quit carrying tablets all together due to low demand.
Don't get me wrong though. I think this tablet should be creating some demand and likely will once more normal people see it. I have just not been convinced of it's huge preorder demand as of yet.

They don't really seem to know and in fact got their colors wrong on initial pre-orders. Anyway, they claim they are a big retailer and that's true so they expect first availability. I think it is encouraging that they were told a date by Asus for their in stock date.

When my order got canceled on amazon, same day as everyone and I ordered on the 22nd also, I came and order at JR that evening using google checkout. They still haven't called me saying they've canceled. Any chance I'm going to get a 32gb champagne gold? Should I call them and check the date? I don't have much faith in this order.
Yesterday, I put in a preorder at a gamestop location. They say that they are one of the location receiving the prime and I was the first one to preorder at that location. They said that they didn't have any in stock yesterday but expecting to arrive before 19th. I think they only have the 32gb grey. I'll settle for that if I have to. Would like to get what I wanted from JR to avoid tax also, but not getting a good feeling. I've got so many stuff canceled on me this holiday I'm getting pissed.
Any good news from anyone out there. You guys been told of the date that it will be available or something that's not canceled?
My guess is that the general public don't really know or care too much about this, it's not like an apple product or anything. Yet, I'm surprise that asus still fail to supply again.

Just to reiterate what others have said, I called J&R to verify my preorder today and was told that they wouldn't receive any units until sometime early next year. I originally pre-ordered on Sunday the 4th, but it sounds like they won't get any stock until the new year, no matter when you got your order in.
I had two separate preorders for tablet & dock, and cancelled them both.

If it's important to you, I would hedge my bets and get in the car. The guy I spoke with made it sound as if the Primes in general wouldn't show up until the new year, not that my Prime wouldn't show up until then.
Can't hurt to hang on to your preorder, but I don't think you should count on it at this point.
My re-ordered 11/22 pre-order will ship between jan 25-feb 8.
This is obviously not Amazons fault as they are just a seller without stock. Blame Asus if anything.
Ditto.

You are now connected to Michael from Amazon.com.

Michael:Hello! My name is Michael. How have you been XXXX?
Me:I'm good
Michael:I am glad to hear it!
I'll be happy to help you out with this question. let me just see what has happened with the $10.00 gift-card you have not been sent.
Do you have handy the order number XXXX?
Me:002-218XXXX-XXXXXXX
Michael:Thank you! Let me take a look it, please.
Me:Ok
Michael:I'm sorry it's taking so long, I'll be right with you.
Me:Okay
Also can you verify the delivery date for this order?
Michael:Sure! I will
Me:Thank you
Michael:You're welcome!
I 'm still checking was has happened with the gift-card, in the meantime, I'd like to let you know that the estimated delivery date is Jan 26- Feb 9, 2012, this is because usually ships within 4 to 7 weeks.
Me:Okay so that is when you expect to get in your next shipment or do you think they could come in sooner?
Michael:Let me check on that as well, please
I seems that yes, it's expected to be delivered between that time-frame, but chances are that it takes less than, but i Cannot assure you anything
One more question XXXX, when you placed the order you were promised the gift-card, weren't you?
Me:Yes I was. For $10.
Michael:Thank you! let me continue researching because I just see a promo for FREE One-Day Shipping.
Me:It was in the email that sent to me on 12/18/11.
Michael:Thanks, that will help a lot.
I just got it, let me check on that, it was because I thought it was on another order, sorry!
Me:Okay
Michael:Thanks
Thank you for waiting XXXX! It seems that within these days you'll be getting the $10 Amazon.com Gift Card code, yet if by Friday you have not gotten it, which I do not think so, please contact us back to get this solved.
Me:Okay thank you.
Michael:You're welcome. Was there anything else I could help you with today?
Me:Nope that is all I had. Thank you.
Michael:You are welcome! Thanks for contacting Amazon, we hope to see you again soon.
Have a nice day!
my black sleeve arrives tomorrow. so... cool! ill just sit and stare at the box for the next month.
I didn't have a pre-order.
I Just ordered it from amazon after I cancelled my newegg pre-order.
My 32CH tablet date isn't listed, but my dock date is Jan 26th - Feb 8th.
Geez
Yes, I got the same damn email. I can't beleive we're the same people getting screwed over and over while others who have ordered after us have gotton it or better dates. If I don't get my 10 dollar by friday I'll be calling too. Keep us posted on the 10 dollar. If I get my prime from gamestop on friday, I'm going to wait until I get the 10 dollar and then cancel the amazon orders I have.
Luckily it may not aggrevate me as bad anymore after today. I also replace my dying evo4g with a galaxy s2 and that is out for delivery today. Maybe this will keep my mind off the prime.
ditto :/ :/
Sorry to barge in but did anyone find that Amazon employee's writing difficult to read. It looked like it was written by a child in parts. Wouldn't surprise me if Amazon was employing special kids with the way they've handled their pre-orders.

Probably Indian folks or a procedureally generated response by the Amazon Artificial Intelligence system. The errors in typing is put there on purpose to fool you into thinking it's a human being you're talking to.
Yup, got that email this morning from Amazon. Seems like the accidental order cancellation and the gracious offer to re-pre-order still doesn't mean much unless they are way conservative on the timing of the 2012 shipments.
If I had never planned on getting this and not preordered on Nov 22 and just now heard about the Prime I'd be OK with waiting a few more weeks. But all the hype about release dates, open preorders in November, promises of Dec 8, Dec 19, Dec 23 from all over just chaps me.
I cannot believe in this day and age of computerized distribution, massive amounts of data collection, that these retailers AND Asus cannot freakin figure out how many items are enroute, in stores, being shipped, on trucks, etc... Are they using an abacus to keep track of inventory? Apologies for the rant
I preorderd on Nov 22 (32GB Champagne) and did not get canceled.... still having to wait until Jan 12th to get mine. However my dock is scheduled for the 6th

Mine, preordered on nov 22, says estimated is Jan. 25 to Feb 14!!! What is up with that? Is there anyway to contact asus directly and find out what the status is on these? They said they expected inventory to reach normal levels in jan which hopefully includes the 64gb prime..
Did anyone actually get the $10 gift certificate mentioned in the Amazon apology/re-order e-mail?

I didn't get it until I called and complain to them about it. You may have to do the same. I had 2 primed on backordered. After they gave me my 10 bucks I canceled both of them. Tired of putting to the back of the line and poor customer service. They don't deliver.
Not re-order, but pre-ordered. Wow, that sucks for a lot of you. I pre-order on DEC.22 (very recent), scheduled to deliver on Jan 25th. Grey 64gb. We'll see.
32 gray went from Jan 25 to next Tuesday!

I wouldn't read that much into it. Just like we got a "backordered" email, it just fills dates and stuff in. I'd expect it to ship by the 15th.

Yeah, the previous wording made me think we might get them earlier in the week, but now it looks like the 17th is as early as possible.
I guess its just one more reason to look forward to Friday
When i ordered mine today it said they should ship by the 16th.
Five minutes later i got an email saying it was sent to the warehouse for shipping.
I have a feeling some of us will be getting them early.

My order confirmation on the "5th" simply said your order will ship on Feb/16.
No "reminder" emails yet.
Assume it's 2-3 day fedex but don't really know.

I think we all got different notifications based upon the avenue in which we purchased or upgraded. I upgraded through Premier and I'm supposed to get my phone by the 17th and it is supposed to be shipped Fedex overnight. I don't think we can assume what AT&T will do until we start getting shipping notifications and tracking numbers.

Thank you for ordering from AT&T. Your device has been reserved and is expected to be delivered on February 17th. At AT&T, we promise to ship our products in the order in which requests are received*.
I ordered from a store on the 5th. I was the first (and probably only) person to order from them that day, considering people were preparing for the Superbowl. They had to dig around online for the model number. I assume they'll ship on Tuesday, to ensure that it gets to as many people as possible by Friday.

I ordered mine from ATT on Monday at lunch. They couldn't find it in system Sunday.
So, I went back Monday with the ATT SKU #. I told them to ship to store, 'cause I leave for Asia on the 18th and if it's not there by 17th my salesman said it would be held there under my name.
So, here's to hoping the "store" gets their shipments first, and mine gets thrown in with their stuff.
I go to Hong Kong and China regularly so I'm very familiar with the Int'l Note, but didn't want to spend 700+ for one in HK or China with no warranty except thru my friends there that I'd have to ship it back to for service.
Plus, getting it for 300 sans Exynos I figure is an even toss up for the cost savings.
There doesn't seem to be a ton of us on here but I can't keep up with the google orders getting shipping confimations and pending. I ordered 64 gb aluminum on October 14th. Early November expected. Since first batches were said to ship when Google does.

I ordered on 9/30 32gb graphite. When I ordered it said shipping late October. Though both times I live chatted with reps I got different answers. One said they were shipping the same time as Google, and the other said first week of November. I'm combining the two answers and going with any day now lol
Ordered 10/15 (a bit late to the party). 64GB Graphite. "Early November" ship date. I am dying waiting. I also need to pick up a case and screen protector...
I ordered 32gb aluminium on the 29th. Hoping I get some shipping info by Monday. I should be in first batch that goes out when Google starts shipping...which seems to be now

I orders 64GB graphite on 10/19. No shipping info other than early Nov.
I ordered on Oct.1, 2015 using affirm. It has been processing every since. Went to affirm website. They want their first payment even if the phone is still processing I guess. Google was just sold out and I was glad to save on the tax. I will just pay it all out and avoid the interest if I like it and decide to keep it.
I ordered on 9/30 the 64 GB Graphite version right before I canceled my 32 GB Graphite version on Google. It still says Processing but my AMEX has already been charged.
Ordered on 9/30, 32gb aluminum. Talked to representative who said early November or might be late October. He wasn't sure.
I was told early on that they would ship at the same time as Google and have a different batch than Google's. So I assume that when people from Google orders that ordered around the same time frame as you (I ordered on 9/29), then that's when you will get a shipping email. People who have already had theirs shipped are the ones who ordered within seconds of it going live on google and most people didn't order from huawei till the 29th since we didn't even know they would sell direct. I'd estimate them to ship out sometime next week for those who ordered when it said late October.
I ordered an Aluminum 64GB on 10/19. I was very late preordering. I tried to order late night of 10/16 but they were out of 64GB, then they put some back on 10/19 but I was able to get 1 before sold out of 64GB again with in a few hours.
Even though I preordered pretty late when I did order it still said Early November. So I'm guessing mine will be shipped mid or late 1st November week. But who knows maybe myself and us in this thread will be surprised early. After all its pretty clear much less ordered from Hauwei, therefore a lot less volume of product for them to ship. Meaning takes less time. That's what I'm hoping for.
Ordered 10/18 64GB Graphite - Early November ship date.
Typically 'early' means before the 14th.
Let's hope it's before that. I read somewhere (lost track where) that they'll be shipping between the 4th and 11th.
Also there's this: https://plus.google.com/+TaylorWimberly/posts/4hasXnK3XDA
(Taylor Wimberly works at Huawei and said that they'll be shipping 'soonish')
64GB aluminum ordered on the 15th. The website says if you try to buy one now, regardless of size or color it says shipping 'late november'
32gb alum 9/30 early November

Well my case on Amazon isn't in stock until the 5th. So guessing they are going to ship the phone on the.... 2nd. And hopefully from somewhere local. I love in Missouri.
I ordered my 64GB Graphite through Huawei and I have no received no further communication. Not even an order confirmation email. I checked my spam folder and there is nothing there either. They have, however, charged my AMEX on Oct 11.
I guess I should call them?
Also. Useful info I was mad about at first. To track your order status from gethuawei.com you must be on the desktop view. Scroll all the way down to "track order" under "account"
Yeah. Call em. Pretty sure they shut their live chat down. Tried 2 days in a row and said they had high volume, try again later or leave a message.

I'm same as you, but ordered 64gb graphite on 10/20. Credit card was charged 2 days after. Web site indicated shipping early November. Still says processing. With the free shipping Huawei provides, I'm not expecting the phone until at least mid November.
I did order the Google Nexus case from the Google Store yesterday and it shipped last night lol
I order mine on the 29th using affirm I still haven't received a email on shipping date
Believe it or not, while it hasn't shipped, it let me place an order for the 64GB in Aluminum. This was at 8pm last night. The night before, the phone was out of stock on both there, & Google.
