You've got to be kidding me. The stock is plummeting, yet we can't even order. Only 9 left in Ontario.

Since it seems doubtful that Staples will have it tomorrow (but I'm going to check regardless), it seems NCIX is the way to go.

Question: is an ESP worth getting? I'm generally not a clumsy person, but is it better to be safe than sorry or should I save my $80?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
And now:

"No such product!"

at: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=60066&vpn=TF101-A1

LOL, EP2008 I would imagine that they were trying to test drive their website and you hitched a ride ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
You know, this is the pattern that US dealers have been setting up - put the product up for 15 minutes and then take the page down :eek: I guess I should have ordered more and given them to local XDA'ers?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Still shows up for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
Absolutely! Especially one to me! :p

btw, any emails from ncix confirming your order?

edit: Interesting - if I login to my NCIX account (which has Montreal as my location) I get "No Product". If I sign out and clear my browser cache, the page is accessible to me again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
me too. I am gonna keep the product page open all night and keep trying to add to cart until it works! :) if only I didn't have two final exams tomorrow, or I would pull an all nighter!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I got an email right away after placing the order and then a few minutes later once the payment was processed. On their "check list" all that's left is shipping, but considering the time - I think that will be going through tomorrow - I hope :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:
Will it be at Best buy in canada? I went to one today and searched their system... No SKU. They said possibly tomorrow and if not, at least a month. Anyone confirm its existence in the dirty north yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
They won't be getting it tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
is it weird that Staples is getting it but not FS or BB?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:
yet again... Best Buy.com doesn't have a page/ad or anything up... Makes me think it will be a midnight release. Did they advertise the Eee Slate?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Very weird. Futureshop would have been the first place I would have picked to carry this product.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
This stinks :mad:

NCIX ON Warehouse went from 10 to 9 to now 8!

EP2008, please check your pm
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Yup, this. So frustrating. If you can order again let me know!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shabs52:
if any stores here get it... im totally picking this up during lunch or something from work >.>
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
It's back up! http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=60066
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shabs52:
damnit! now its not
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Nope, not at this. I called them directly and the guy is calling me back. Hopefully I get one of the remaining 7 that are left. If not, Staples tomorrow, and Canada Computers, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
WTF? I saved a screenshot just in case my lawyers need it! LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shabs52:
would staples or CC have the dock available too? any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I don't see the dock even suggested anywhere. I'd love to order that, but I have a feeling we won't see the dock for a while or it will be "special order" from these retailers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shabs52:
well thats gay lol

edit: still its similar to the galxy 10.1 that i was considering and a lot cheaper so... works for me the dock is just a huge plus to turn it into a netbook as well
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
i called memory express, they have 6 per store, they are in the store right now, but they cant release them til 11am tomorrow, i am going right now to place my deposit for "preorder"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
Montreal has neither MemoryExpress nor CanadaComputer :'''(

NCIX.com and Staples.com was my only hope but looking at how NCIX is being super retarded and Staples being so clueless - I should just not even try anymore.

Can one of the members here seriously buy one extra and ship it to me overnight?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
Just keep in mind, if CC has stock in their warehouses, so does everyone else. It would be very surprising if they were the only vendor selling it on the first day, online or not.

NCIX page back up but still saying:

This item '60066' cannot be added to your cart, This product is not available!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Well the guy who was supposed to call me back in 2 minutes, 30 minutes ago, hasn't called yet, lol. I'm calling again, but I guess we'll see. Oh well. Just kind of annoyed at the no call. I would at least expect a "No" or something along those lines, instead of just neglect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
in some not so bad news, had another chat with our beloved Mr Jay for some clarifications:

ME: NCIX real time stock check is telling me NCIX ON Warehouse only has 7 left!

ME: it was showing 11 when we last talked :(

ME: at this rate, when the page does go active, I wont be able to order because you guys will be sold out!

Jay: I'm having NCIX Ivan take a quick look at this for you, please be patient as we wait for his reply.

ME: sure, thanks for your help and patience Jay

Jay: Not a problem, you're not the first to ask about this product :)

Jay: So, here's the scoop.

ME: hit me :)

Jay: There are few being transferred around at the moment to different retail locations (hence the stock drop)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Yeah, after being on hold for 30 minutes, I just hung up. I can't support a company that does that to customers. I understand that there is a lot going on right now with anticipation for this Tablet, but don't put someone on hold for 30 minutes. And if you say you're looking into something and swear you'll call back in 2 minutes, then call back. I'll probably just purchase elsewhere. Stinks though. Congrats to the lucky ones who got in on the order!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BongoBong:
I tried calling their Call 1-888-NCIX-888 (Ext 3333) to place an order, and when I did get put on hold, they kept me on hold for 30 minutes and then just dropped the call saying the person I was trying to get a hold of is not available. That was about an hour ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
Same thing happened to me too... twice

Kudos NCIX! :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
i was able to get through on the phone. hoping they ship tomorrow and i get it on wed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
got my preorder in at memoryexpress, i'll be there at lunch time tomorrow to pick er up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Congratulations man!!! Super excited SOMEONE got through. I gave up. Kind of miffed at this point.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
can you verify that there are only indeed the 6 per store as was said before? I won't be able to make it to a memory express in Calgary till tomorrow afternoon/early evening.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BongoBong:
dock is up on ncix but on backorder.

http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=60068

edit. and trying to add it to cart brings up the same "not available"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
Which number did you call? On your screenshot it says Burnaby, BC so did you call the store there?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Doesn't work for me.

So NCIX guy called me back, said that he got word they can't do any orders on them due to them being released tomorrow .. and that it looks like they only have 5 left? Really? Wow. Looks like I'm making a trip to Canada Computers early tomorrow, or Staples
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
5 Left for Ontario right? When you place your order online, I'm guessing if ON warehouse is sold out, BC will ship it to you.. no?

and BC does have > 10
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Yeah, in Ontario. I'd assume that that would be the case on shipping, though I'm wondering if any local stores will have it tomorrow for pickup. If I can even order it online like Staples.ca (if they aren't sold in store) and have it shipped to a Brick n Mortar, that would be fine as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
that's what the guy told me, and as of right now, all 6 from the NE are preordered, dunno about the other locations.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
looks like I will be trying staples and NCIX online options. Ugh. Thanks for the info:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
Noticed something on NCIX website so I thought I'd share. I've been watching the stock for ON warehouse drop from 11 to 5 but currently its showing 6.

Someone cancelled their order!?

lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Still showing as 5 for me. =\ ..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:
I happen to be a Best Buy Employee. We got a shipment in today... Not allowed to sell before 11 tomorrow. Hidden SKU. Tons of transformers and docks. Safe to say I'll be grabbing one tomorrow. One of the perks of the job ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ru1dev:
@phanboy which branch? ill be there!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
This seems very odd, considering that they didn't even list BestBuy as a reseller. Possibly you either live/work in the US, or that the shipment you guys got was for next week? That, or you're yanking our chain, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
yes indeed where is this at? I wannt onneee!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:
They're all getting them. Not sure what the freak out is. Asus distributes and drop-ships their items separately. As opposed to getting a shipment from H/O we get one from Asus. They're gonna be everywhere. (*fingers crossed*) :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
It also looks like NCIX pulled down the order page. I had it open and was periodically pushing add to cart, but this last push resulted in me returning back to a "no such product!" :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Canada Resellers:

Canada Computers | Memory Express

NCIX | Staples CA | Visions

^^ That's why everyone is in panic mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:
Chillax people. You'll get your tablet, asus will get their money, and Steve Jobs will kill a kitten for every Transformer sold.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ru1dev:
promise? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:

Has anyone tried calling a Visions store? I haven't seen anyone commenting on them in here yet...;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] phanboy:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowro:
can you give us more details?

which BB stores will have it?

thx
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
because everybody hates visions.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
haha oh I see! I have never bought from Visions but thats good to know. Turns out my local stores don't have it anyways. The guy said they are going to be carrying it, but he didn't know when.

*Sigh*
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mkooner:
I live in canada and I have an Asus Transformer. I bought it off ebay from a twain retailer for $550 including shipping and taxes, i recieved my order in 3days. i recommend any one who wants one soon to order it from ebay.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
this post here you said you got it for $599...and that included US shipping. so are you from Canada or US? or just a shill from Taiwan?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13096639#post13096639

if you didnt get charge taxes and duties by customs you were lucky doesnt mean the next person wont.

are you teh person selling it on ebay? your post seems suspicious since you are telling people to pay more on ebay a few hours before launch? so last week you were willing to accept 599 and now you will take 550? haha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Haha .. FAIL. Let's just get this back on topic to legit and relevant postings though, as I don't want this thread locked.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
My friend working at BB says he doesn't know about it, but he'll inquire tomorrow morning to see if they have stock (and will have one put aside for me if they do).

I'm still holding out for Staples and FS because they're the closest. Though the person I talked to at Staples today said they were 100% sure they wouldn't have any tomorrow.

I can only hope that he gets proved wrong. In any case, we'll know shortly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
same here. all three staples I called today knew that they would not be selling it at their location tomorrow. Same goes with the Vision's and BestBuy. Only MemoryExpress said they did have the units at the store, but the ones they had were already ordered/pre-ordered/ accounted for.

I asked the guy how they were sold already/accounted for when they aren't even supposed to be sold yet. ugh. looks like it will be a couple days at the earliest for me to get my hands on one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
It's officially April 26th (at least where I live), and NCIX's Transformer page has gone missing.

Great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
lol, here too. Reverse release? Have it displayed when not available, and when available make it go poof.

I'm sure it'll be back up soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
http://www.visions.ca/catalogue/category/Default.aspx?categoryId=7

there is a flash ad on the page showing the transformer for $398, and the dock for $128. too bad no option to order either! :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
Wow, so much for people not caring about Visions. If that's the price, I might end up ordering from there instead. Of course, that depends on whether or not it'll be available in-store tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, it's been up on Amazon.ca for pre-order (though they're 'temporarily' out of stock). I can't believe nobody's mentioned it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
that is so tempting to pre-order with them. I am just worried the same thing that happened in the UK to the Amazon people might also happen to us here. June 1st is a loooonng time to wait!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Just ordered, thanks! I'll go check stores tomorrow, and cancel Amazon if anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
Same here. Ordered.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lifegear:
Still nothing showing up on Futureshop or Bestbuy (1h00 am)... but they usually update their website at around 4 a.m Eastern time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
No problem, I'm doing the same. In fact, I'm actually hoping to cancel with Amazon tomorrow, because that would mean that I found it in-store. :D

EDIT: If anything, I'll buy the tablet for $399 from wherever I can find it, and get the dock later (probably for $128 from Visions).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammer:
Sorry if this sounds too noobish...but I have no idea about the differences of European (3G, UMTS) and American radio technology...

I have a sim-unlocked European GT-I9000 (PDA and Radio XXJVK, CSC OXXJM1).

In summer I will visit the US for several weeks and I'd like to use my phone there.

I think that voice+text will work since the I9000 can 1900, but I am not sure about the data traffic.

Can the I9000 hardware be used in the US when flashing a "US version" of the radio SW and/or CSC ?

Is that possible anyway ?

If that would work I would buy a prepaid card in the US to avoid roaming costs...

No way to utilize your phone at most

hi ,

I recently visited USA with my international verison of galaxy s GT-I9000 and I was totally unable to utlize my 3G data services. WHY ????

Because:

In US they are having unique frequency band for data netwrok i.e. 1700MHZ ( T-Mobile) and 850 Mhz for at&T so No matters u go with their monthly plan or pay as go u cannot take advantage of your galaxy s but still u can have the low speed data connectivity on EDGE or GPRS.

Galaxy S supported Band: for non US ( No operater in US comply this)

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elhennig:
But there is another solution: Use Starbucks or MCDonalds Wifi :D

There are nice apps to guide you to the next free wifi in the market.

I was in the US recently and since I do not have an international data plan I used the offers mentioned above....

EDIT: Many hotels or motels offer free wifi, too!

Im looking for the same sort of thing myself but I can answer some of your questions.

A good ROM to install the first time is one made by mike called Android Revolution HD. I'm pretty sure there is a 2.2 version with sense and a 2.3 version without it. Not having sense just means not having that particular interface but having the regular Android one instead which isnt bad to be honest.
