Lets go!
Pre-ordered from the Microsoft store. Have been utilizing Microsoft rewards so I will get reward points for my purchase also. Now the wait ?
Pre-ordered, but went through AT&T sadly. Wanted the unlocked version, but it is too pricey outright.
I pre ordered mine via bestbuy. I am hoping this lightens my load while increasing my functionality. Here's hoping Verizon will activate on the esim and I can use AT&T on the sim slot

I also pre-ordered with AT&T, we have a business account with them. I'm going to make it my DD for a week or so to see if it would be a good fit for where I work. If there were just a few key differences I would feel a little more excited about it. My wish list in no particular order would be 1) Bigger batteries, at least over 5,000mA 2) Minimum 90 Hz refresh rate 3) Thinner bezels all the way around. I'm okay with some bezel just trim them maybe in half?? 4) Wireless charging (I realize I need to give up some thickness for the battery and charging coil, I'm good with it) 5) Stereo speakers, this will a media device to a certain degree.
Preordered through AT&T as well. Anxiously waiting, but I do have some reservations. My main one is the size. I'm coming from the Huawei Mate 20 X. Using a Pixel 4a at the moment to get used to a smaller screen again. None of the specs bother me. I get tired of hearing about the 855 processor. I mean just over 9 months or so ago every reviewer was gushing over how fast it was. Now, it's like a Model T in their eyes. Ridiculous. I'm just worried about the smaller screen size.
People get very hung up on specs, I have been hearing good things about performance but again that's just numbers. The real test will be individual usage and how it performs for each of us. If you have AT&T or Best Buy close by, you may want to see if they got demo units in. They were supposed to go live 08/28. there are YT videos popping up.
August 30 in best but near me
I wonder if they will ship out before the 10th to avoid possible delays
My understanding is that the device would be delivered by 09/10.

As does my AT&T order. if they say Delivery by 09/10 then they will make every effort to meet that commitment. (will any of them arrive early, who can say..) I have never had one show up late.

at 9/10 it should be at your door.

Very odd cause most charges fall off in a few days . I work for Apple and we try not to do this so early cause we would get people who get there devices and then cancel the card later.
I’m hoping is means they will ship soon. I can probably look for my order number on UPS.

It's listed as the ASUS® Eee Pad Transformer TF201 Tablet, 32GB Item # 906853, which IS the Prime.
At other times, when it was OOS, the Office Depot site kept suggesting the TF101 and kept trying to put it into your cart as a substitute. So stay alert during checkout.
Good to go. Just ordered mine. Free shipping for delivery on he 30th.

I actually have a pre-order with them from 12/22 which had estimated delivery for 12/27. I have yet to receive it.
I e-mailed them and the response I got today was:
This is in reference to when you will receive order ********. According to our replenishment department , this item should be in stock at the distribution center by the end of this week . We should be able to ship by next week. I do apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your business.
What about the keyboard dock?
I just ordered from Office Depot. Rep promised me it would be delivered Jan 6th.
I figure I will get a second Prime (i already have one) to see if it has any defects (hopefully not). And plan to sell whichever one has the worst defects.
(current one has dust under screen, screen bleed and broken wifi, laggy performance but it may just be a software problem.)

Located in east coast. Thats why mine is going to take a week longer to ship to my nearest warehouse.
I called and asked for overnight shipping, and I'll pay for it, but was told that its unavailable for it. WTF! Only the 3 day shipping option is available
Hmm. So I ordered one of these just now, but now I feel like cancelling.
I keep reading about all these different issues with the device that I somehow think that if I wait for my Amazon pre-order to ship, that next batch from them will be less prone to have those issues, plus I'll get the gold color, which I think looks a bit cooler.
Is it likely that when Amazon gets more in stock that they will be updated and in better shape than these first batches, or am I just as likely to get one with issues?
Also, Amazon estimates february 1st as the shipping date, is it likely this will quickly change to sooner in early January, so I wouldn't be waiting much longer?
Should I not cancel?

That is a hard decision to make. I had one on pro-order from GS that is supposed to be delivered on 01/11 which is only about 11 days differentce from the one I should be getting this Friday, so chances are they are from the same lot and my chances of getting a lemo are probably 50/50 from either shipment.
But I think you might have a more valid point, if they are fixing the issues the are coming up, the later you order/get it, the better your chances of getting a unit with little to no issues.
Let me ask you something, when you are thinking about "sticking" a woman, do you go to the forums and ask them if you should. Decision is entirely yours. Never let someone's opinion influence what you buy. You would be angry if it doesn't work for you and even angrier for listening to someone when you knew better. Just know that there is a manufacturer's warranty and if you can live with the wait for repairs, then that's a start.
I own a Transformer Prime, do you?

Well, the first batch of TF101 tablets had really bad screen bleed and build quality... I just bought one (TF101) last month and it was just as bad, horrible screen bleed and backing loose and falling off (and last month i ordered two and both had these same defects that the very first batch had).
One was from bestbuy and the other was from amazon. Asus isnt too good at working out the defects, so I would say yes no matter when you get your prime, it will have some sort of defect.
Just have to hope for a minor defect, or one that you could live with.

True.
My main question was whether people knew if ASUS would be actively fixing these issues for their later batches, so I should have just asked that. My other questions were just thought streams that I didn't analyze before typing.
Ordered mine on 12/28, did a live chat today and this is what i was told
Irving: Thank you for your patience. I checked you order, it will most likely ship on January 3, 2012.
Michael: will that be overnight shipping?
Irving: It would be regular shipping, the estimate delivery date of your order is Thursday, January 5, 2012 between 08:30 AM - 05:00 PM.

My Amazon "Pre Order" for the 64 gig version says releasing at the end of January early February. I have had this thing on pre-order since December and I am kind of getting tired of waiting.
Is there an actual brick and mortar store I can drive to that has this thing in stock anywhere? I don't care if its 32 or 64.
heres the link from bitly. im a new user so i cant put in an actual outside link but this is what comes after the '/' z5xLve
its a link to the bby website, you should be able to have it by next week!
I was waiting for the same thing, but I don't think it will happen soon. Not when companies are selling out online in under an hour (sometimes minutes). Sorry.
I finally heard about NowInStock.net and signed up to receive email alerts (I chose only stores that had brick&mortar in my city). It only took 2-3 days for something to be made available.
Also, remember that the longer you wait the fewer the hardware defects should be (except GPS of coarse ) so thats a happy thought. Good luck dude.

Check Best Buy.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...d=4038674&st=asus transformer prime&cp=1&lp=3
You can check store availability for the Gray Model now.
Still not in stores, but, going into a solid day 2 of availability on Best Buy's website tells me the initial onslaught has slowed to a crawl and they should start to flow from the other sources (Amazon. Abe's, etc.) and perhaps start to show up in brick and mortars.
Before this I had not seen it available for more than a few hours at a time. Also, you can now go through the "proper" searches on their web site to find it "in stock" (i.e. computers>tablets>price>bingo!) where before you had to search specifically for it (almost "back channel" it).
Can't help but wonder if the known issues arising has slowed demand to this point or if this has occurred naturally.
BTW, mine is scheduled for delivery today by EOD. Yay!
You can check Google Product Search and Milo.com as well. Prime has been showing up in few local Best Buy stores as IN STOCK.
I ordered mine from OD on Wednesday and I tracked it. it's scheduled to be here on Monday. I called and ordered it. Also I called and they said they didn't have it. Then I called back to see when they'd have it and they had it. Then I called back with my payment information and they said they were out. Then I called back to see if I backordered it if the coupon would apply and they had it and now according to UPS it'll be here Monday. So perhaps it depends on the person you get. Oh yea the automated thingie said they were OOS as well but when it sent me to the CSR they had it. weird.
I really wanted a 64GB model but don't wanna wait, and 32GBmicrosd cards are cheap enough to make me order. best buy site says it can't be picked up but shipped to me. Should I just hold out for the 64GB model?
That's the real question, when are the 64GB models gonna start showing up I'm stores, not too picky on colors
When bestbuy says ships in 3-5 days, is that TRUE?
Best Buy
Best Buy should have the Grey 32 model still in stock, ordered one a week ago got it a few days ago. Unfortunately I had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen so I had to exchange for a new one. I just called today and they are already sending me a new one so BB should have plenty in stock. Besides in a week everyone will start to have them in stock.

Well the issues are pretty minor to me. I don't quite care that the bootloader is locked. Asus is very sparing with the customization. Also I won't be using the tablet for GPS, since the only really useful GPS requires a 3G signal and my Galaxy Nexus handles that just fine.
This tablet is still top dog in my book and I am done waiting for others.

Congrats!
As stated in title, I wanna buy a prime tablet from amazon but their prices are ridiculous at the moment. The only one close to the average 499$ price tag are the used ones.
With all the problems I've been reading about this tablet, I still feel drawn to testing my luck.
The main reason I want to use Amazon is for the "billmelater" option. March is a very heavy birthday filled month in my family so I wont have the actual cash till around may.... I don't want to wait until may.
Also, if i have to start with the sending back n forth process because of light bleeds, reboots, etc etc how is the process with Amazon.com? Is it a headache?
Thanks in advance for everyone's opinion on the matter. I want to make a purchase soon so it can come tomorrow hahaha I want to play with this tablet asap.
Why not just get it new at Officedepot.com? If you order now you will receive it by "Estimated Delivery Date: 02/10/2012." Just checked for you That's where I ordered my Prime. I have no issues whatsoever No wifi/BT fallouts. GPS works great!

If you buy a used prime at $499, your not looking hard enough. But if you really want a prime here is one at jr.com:
Asus Prime Jr.com
Or go to your local BestBuy and tell the sale's clerk you want place an "OMS order SKU: 4038674" theyll ask for a mode of payment and ask you if you want if you are picking up at the store or home delivery in about a week. Even if they are out of stock at BestBuy the "OMS" will check the one of the warehouse of Bestbuy and get you one.

Because I want to pay with "Bill Me Later" so I can pay in installments or all at once within 6 months without interests rates. I don't have the option of dishing out ~550$ TODAY. So BillMeLater is my only option at the moment. I check before, I don't think Office Depot gives that option to bill later.

Not sure what you're trying to say but it seemed like "if they are selling it this close to release...." which I agree that's why im extremely hesistant. But I don't understand why the Amazon prices are so incredibly high when they are supposed to be the cheaper online stores.
I'd wait or try to find another means of paying for one new somewhere else.

The reason is that those aren't being sold by Amazon, they're being sold by other companies THROUGH Amazon's storefront. They're basically what you would find if you went to eBay--third parties selling them at a premium because demand continues to outstrip supply.

Amazon doesn't control the prices for their third party vendors. Amazon just controls the prices where Amazon is the seller. As previous poster pointed out, other vendors use the Amazon storefront, which is the case here. When Amazon sells the Prime, Amazon prices it at $499.

hope that helps
I'm not sure how many TFP's have been returned, but its possible factory refurbed TFP's might be available soon at a discount. If you can wait a month, you might get a good deal.

Just to be perfectly clear, these higher-priced units are NOT being sold by Amazon, and Amazon is NOT setting the prices on them. They're being sold by 3rd parties at whatever price those 3rd parties want to sell for. Again, it's like eBay, only through Amazon's equivalent (pretty much anyone can sell things through Amazon).
When Amazon ITSELF has the Prime in stock, they sell it at the standard retail price ($499 for 32GB, $599 for 64GB).
Has anybody heard anything about preordering this in the US market?
I was going to get a Z3 Tablet Compact at the end of this month, but, if the price rumors are true, the Z4 Tablet will have a release price about the same to $50 more than the Z3TC is currently selling for. Why spend full price on a tablet when the next model comes out in a couple/few months for about the same price and has much better specs (or being able to get the current model at a reduced price when this releases)?
I have been searching for the this for the last month. As far as I can tell the US has to wait till July.
Price isnt the decision factor here, you need to consider the size you want. I had the xperia z2 tablet (10 inch screen) and it was too overwhelming, it was heavy and big. Though it was pleasing to the eyes i find it difficult to carry it around. Just few days ago, i sold it and purchased the Z3TC.
in the end, its really your choice, 10 inch tablets are just not for everyone.
Any update?

Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

I got the tablet in yesterday and I love it. The battery and display is fantastic. I took notes on LectureNotes, at full brightness and recorded for 3 and a half hours and still had 75%. My only major issue is the remote play (main reason I got the tablet). It seems that it runs once after the initial setup. If I restart the device it gives me error code 88001003 and exits the app. I think it occurs because the tablet is unlocked. Huge bummer and I'm thinking about returning it and waiting for it to come in the US at the end of the month.
Edit: I removed SuperSU and everything is okay now. Unlocked was not the issue.

Good to hear it. Just patiently waiting for mine
Here we go again!
I placed an order for a S23 Ultra 512gb in "Sunset Red", traded-in my S22 Ultra!
at Samsung.ca
Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.
Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance
I got the red 1tb s23 ultra red variant with $50 off and apparently free galaxy buds 2 or some nonsense.. I have Anker noise canceling headset I bought in Tokyo at the Anker store on Black Friday.
Placed my order for the 512GB Graphite version . They gave me $487 for trading in my Note 10 (smaller regular version) and got the ear buds as well

That's not bad for a near 4 year old phone. Have a N10+ and Telus would only quote about $200 for mint condition, when even the s22U was first released.
Freedom "saves" around $647 on "trade up" and it looks like pretty much every mobile shop here rips people off for trade in value, even if you keep a 2 year upgrade cycle (Samsung appears to be much better in this regard, even for older devices).

You got hosed. Spending $1000 to more to upgrade to a minimal difference phone. Samsung probably offered you $600 lol
I also ordered the 512G version in Blue. They gave me $800 for my old Note S20 Ultra 5G.
I just cancelled my order. The $859 CDN trade-in for my S22 Ultra 1TB is way too low.
Update: Cancelled my cancellation. Irrational trumps rational once again.

Same. I was actually pretty impress with the trade in offer for a 2 plus year old phone. By the way did you try looking up your expected delivery date? Weirdly says starts shipping on 17th March. Do you reckon that's a glitch? I did order bunch of accessories for the phone. Does that have anything to do with that?
What seems to be the expected shipping date for the orders here gentlemen? I am somehow supposed to receive the phone and the accessories after 17th march. That's not what i pre-ordered for.
Mine still says shipping from Feb 8 but if you selected one of the online exclusive colors I had noticed some shipping dates were later. And I remember when I preordered my s21 ultra it shipped a few days later because they were waiting on one of the accessories.
Do a live chat with them they should be able to tell you which item is causing the delay and if it's an accessory you can most likely ask them to remove it from the order.
I saw if you ordered one of the specialty colors it said it would ship in 5-6 weeks. I didn't notice it when I ordered and I did order a specialty color.

Yeah turns out it was the exclusive color as well some accessories. I am trying to reconnect to live chat but the waiting times are hella long. Hopefully i can cancel the order and go for the cream color instead.
Thanks
The shipping dates are just approximate. Most just say February 17th because that's when you officially can buy one from a retail store. From my experience with the S20U and S22U the Unlocked models usually come 2-3 days earlier than when stores get them. Carrier Phones arrive even sooner as they get priority over Unlocked models. So take those delivery dates with a grain of salt as they are just estimates which are always later than when you actually will get them.
Here is something even weirder for this year. On the past two phones I ordered from Samsung they would bill me when I placed the order to make sure the funds were available. It would say pending and then after 2 to 3 days it would drop off my credit card and I would get the funds back and Samsung wouldn't bill me again till it shipped. Well that happened again this year and I got the funds back. But today it actually cleared pending and dates yesterday as a past and cleared purchase which I even got the 1.5% cashback on. They never give me the Cashback until the sale is actually completed So that most likely means I'll be getting a notification soon that it shipped. Could Sammy be shipping earlier this year?
So like I said take those delivery dates with a grain of salt. Some people have gotten theirs already in Europe. The custom colors are getting a limited run and not surprised to see those pushed back till March.

If you cancel your just going to the very back of the line.

Okay so i am talking to an agent right now and he recommended the same thing to not cancel the order. It might just arrive earlier than anticipated. What i am worried about is the two accessories that i ordered (screen guard and a silicon case), those two clearly has pre-order emblem on them and the agent did confirm i would get everything in a single package so little bit skeptical but lets hope for the best.
Attached screenshot of order for reference

Strangely from the point of selecting the color, to all the way to checkout, i was greeted with a shipping out date of 8th February.

Just have patience you will get it eventually. If you cancel your just going to have to wait even longer especially if they ran out of the first batch of stock which would push new order dates back to late March. Seen that happen before and peeps always regret their impatience.
