[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dark lord me:
I have some minor screen bleed but its not in much I might exchange it for a new one when they become more widely available. I have also experienced a few app force shutdown and the Facebook widget doesn't work.

Overall its one awesome tablet and I highly recomend I it. The screen bleed is not a big problem as long as you don't have black there you will never notice it.

Glad i held off getting a xoom this is one beast of a machine :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sackofnoise:
Sure hope you are right, would definately like all canada business getting a huge load of transformer this week (224th place at ncix... :)) Hope vision get it too, but i (think) it would be their first real shipment, and i don't see why it would be bigger than all other small week shipment from places like ncix, etc... :S

But still... maybe.... :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] illmatic24:
Does anyone know when Canada Computers will be getting some?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Prof-KOS:
They're getting them sporadically. That's where I got mine. They were telling me that they expect to start getting larger deliveries "mid-May". Could be this week or next, but I think there will be more soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhinman:
According to the memory express website my 32gb with dock has shipped. May call them to see if I can get a taking number.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhinman:
According to the memory express website there are 8 16 gb models at edmonton south and 8 more at Richmond.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Let us know if the dock did ship :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killermojo:
Looks OOS already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhinman:
Yea that did not take long.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhinman:
Received a call from Memory express my tablet and dock are waiting for me to pickup on the way home.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BruceWayne133:
Just talked to the guys at Visions in Calgary and they're saying 1.5 weeks until they get it in stock. It could be just another salesman talking out of his ass but I just thought I'd share.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vadimus_ca:
Lots of new retailers show TF coming - Greytech, PC Village, Infonec...

Greytech even promises keyboard dock for $129, and USB charger for $30 (though both OOS yet)

Funny, Canada Computers now list TF on shopbot.ca, to me it could be because they expect big stock of TF.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
got a call from memex NE calgary, my dock is waiting for me to pick it up :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BruceWayne133:
How long were you waiting? I just recently put my name down at their NW loc and I'm wondering how painfully long my wait will be :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qualification:
NCIX had oodles of 32g as of last night. Ordered mine today with express ship. Boy they were quick to process the order and get it shipped. It's now at the Purolator Toronto processing center. Should receive the love any day now. Originally ordered 16g from Canada Computers, but support told me they couldn't confirm delivery till Mid-May. So cancelled and upgraded.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Richard_Simmons:
I got a call from NCIX today that my dock is ready to pick up at the First Markham store...still waiting on my tablet though, this sucks

I put my order in at 7am on April 26th, when they were still listed as "IN Stock" on the NCIX website, well, as most others still visiting this topic I was placed in a queue. I had put "In Store Pick Up" as the option, since the First Markham store is very close to my girlfriends house. Well after a couple days of waiting I called the store and asked what place I was in line...I was told (by the VERY nice guy who works there...he even remembered my name and calls me on my cell with updates) that I was number 8 on the list...FOR IN STORE PICK UP...well that was on April 28th...when he called me today about my dock I asked what number I was now...seeing as how it has been a week and a half and the official NCIX forum says they have been getting stock frequently...well it turns out I am now at....NUMBER 8!!! I haven't moved at all...I am number 31 overall in Ontario for IN STORE pick up! Now what I don't get is why are all these people who admittedly purchased their tablet from the site getting there's already, just because I picked in store pick up really shouldn't change my order don't you think? When I hear that a guy who was number like 60 something getting his and I have been number 8 since day one it makes no sense. Anyone else in the same boat?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
since the 16gb was released... i put my name on the list but did not expect to see it til the 15th. needless to say it came early :)

32Gig in Stock at Staples Online for Calgary... 10 left 8:30am
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jameswzh:
Just ordered one and received confirmation email that it will be delivered tomorrow. Finally, got the 32GB. As now, I am put my 16GB on kijiji for local sell, if anyone in Calgary was interested, please let me know, I am selling below the retail price. Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vadimus_ca:
Did you run out of space on 16 gig?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SonicTab:
Based on what happened to others, you may want to hold on to the 16GB until the new one is in your hands.

Seems Staples has cancelled many orders at the last minute on pick-up day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krispy1:
this.

i had a order go through and when i called in the cust service rep said, delivery is set for monday, the next day i got the cancellation email
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Nascar Dog:
Grabbed one. 4 Left now. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vadimus_ca:
Got a call from CC. My dock's ready for pickup, hooray :)

UPD

Successfully got my dock. Well with dock TF is is quite heavy!

CC staff was playing with Acer A500, even did not ask me to open my box, I was a bit disappointed :)

Now it is time for getting decent bag for my TF (not Asus sleeve), and that's all for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nrapallo:
Canada Computers has some stock on hand in select stores for the 32GB model (TF101-B1) as well as the keyboard dock as of 5:40 pm EST.

I ordered both from their online stock (they only had 2 and 5 respectively when I did) for pick-up at my local CC. They haven't yet sent me the pick-up confirmation, so I'm waiting .... a-n-t-i-c-i-p-a-t-i-o-n

I do now see that the online store is again in backorder status... :(

Are you still selling your extra? I tried to PM you..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Eggroll822:
Yep, just picked up a 16+ dock at downtown toronto cc. They have more docks, no 16, unsure about 32.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
So... yesterday, I received a book on Java 6 programming that I ordered, which I plan to utilize to eventually learn to code for Android. And today, the 16gb MicroSDHC I ordered in anticipation of my TF has arrived.

As for my TF and the dock... no freaking idea. This really sucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] robertbui:
any updates from visions anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
You read my mind. Hearing about all these other places getting stock on the dock makes me want to cancel my order with them. I'll give them a few more days.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
I'm going to be checking a lead I have for a TF plus dock this morning (I'm not going to mention where just yet). If I get it, Visions better believe that I'm canceling as soon as they open (11:30 AM EST).

I managed to get dock yesterday from Canada Computers

They is still have stock listed in stores in Ontario but 0 on line now.

See CC website.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
Question: if I buy the TF brand new in-store, should I still open it in-store to check everything? Or would that only be for items being shipped to a store?

EDIT: Never mind, it was a bust anyway. Someone had already put the TF on hold.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] igot6strings:
Looks like NCIX hasn't received any 16gb models since alteast Monday. I position in line hasn't changed since then.

I'm 16th on the BC list. Which is retarded because I'm in Newfoundland and should be on the Ontario list if I'm in the east. Oh well.

I want my tranny already...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mnemonic.code:
Just curious... has anyone received theirs from Amazon.ca yet? I've got a preorder with them, but they haven't even updated the predicted ship date yet. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tj6248:
I'm also on amazon pre-order and haven't heard anything. I even called their customer service line and they weren't able to tell me anything useful. I've been thinking about cancelling my order and looking elsewhere but at this point I feel like if I've waited this long I'll be ok to wait it out.

Anyone else with amazon??

Just got a call from Staples.

My ASUS Transformer 32GB and Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB are ready for pick-up.

I ordered these yesterday morning. :)

Now I can do a side-by-side comparison of the two.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ledhed:
Hey Dog, do you have that 16 gig to sell?

No, Staples screwed up that order.

I may have a 32GB to sell though. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] canadianrider:
If you put yourself on the waiting list for ncix can you cancel the order without payment at any time before they ship?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lanpirate:
Yes, thats what I did today. I was 41st in line for a 16Gb as of Wed.

Last night, I saw that Canada Computers had 2-32Gb Tf and 2 docks in stock in Ajax, so I got there just before they opened today. There was another guy there also, and we each bought a 32Gb with the dock. Then, I called NCIX, and emailed them and they had not shipped yet, so they allowed me to cancel. I didnt even bother to ask where I was in line for the 16. They were very polite, I've always had good service from them over the years. They had charge my visa, but said a full refund would be in 2-3 business days.

So, it looks like stock level numbers are accurate with CC. Or, did I get lucky?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
Got lucky, I think. The Brampton location for CC had a single 32gb in stock but it was already put on hold. They did have two docks available, though there wasn't a point in getting the docks without the tablet.

I feel like I need to just give up on constantly looking for this tablet. It doesn't seem possible that I'll get it before June.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vadimus_ca:
Just order it online with pickup in store of your choice! That's the fastest way to get TF in Ontario.

32GB Transformer for sale

I have a new 32GB Transformer for sale.

Selling it for what I paid for it which is $530.00

Purchased on May 12, 2011

Anyone in Calgary interested?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
I've already ordered with Visions and paid in full for both the TF and the dock. I've also put my name down at PCV (shipping from Markham) and my local CC (for in-store pickup) for whenever they get a shipment that will reach my place on the list.

Despite this, I've had no luck.

The most frustrating thing is that I've been told by Visions that my TF order was one of the first few to go through (that I'm near the top of the list), and yet I haven't received anything yet because Asus hasn't sent them a single shipment beyond perhaps a couple of TFs.

I explained this to Asus reps, and they said that they'd definitely look into it. Hopefully next week is the week.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] canadianrider:
How is the tranny vs the Acer?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tj6248:
Just ordered a 16g from staples in cgy...got my fingers crossed that they don't cancel on me. Didn't go for the dock but its still showing 19 in stock if any one is looking
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SonicTab:
You should be fine, have not seen reports of order issues in the last couple days.

I'm surprised the dock is not selling faster in Calgary.

Looks like they only sold 4 or so in the last few hours?

Maybe demand is falling off since Samsung's new 10.1 became the tablet of the moment.

Asus might be in for a surprise with their plan to produce 300K per month.

Timing is everything in gadgets :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I'm holding my order with visions for the dock because they have a great price, but I don't want to be played. If they are going to make me wait while other stores have been getting stock, I'll cancel with them and spend the extra cash to get it sooner... I'm not in a hurry until the next official firmware is out - so it fixes the keyboard issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nl123:
As of 9:15 MT, Calgary Staples.ca show stock of 7.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sackofnoise:
Hope those ones from staples are not phantom stock (cross fingers) definately want my transformer! :O
[Eee Pad Transformer General] canadianrider:
How can you tell which store has what in stock? Whenever I go to staples.ca even minutes after you posted that it said out of stock. I'm assuming that's because I'm in BC.. but is there an option to check/order from the other ones?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sackofnoise:
You have to have a webpage monitor thats gonna notify you when the page change to in stock, then entre 999 in cart and it should give you the amount in stock...

How does one get said webpage monitor?

Just placed an order at Staples for a 16GB TF plus dock. It's the first time I've seen it in stock, so hopefully it means something more than phantom stock. I tried adding 999 to see total stock, but it actually adds 999 TFs to my cart, so here's hoping, right?

I've already asked Visions to give me a call or an email when they get stock, so that I can cancel before they ship and it's too late. Staples should deliver it by Tuesday since it's a Sunday order (which is their policy), so I have until then to see whether I'll be cancelling with Visions or not.

Has anyone ordered from Staples on a weekend and received it on a Monday?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] X7og:
I did the exact same thing as hbk. But a lil bit after him. I also have a visions order to cancel if staples beats them. Good luck to us both. Heh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
I have. I used to live in NY, born and raised in Queens. I know tons of people that work at Best Buy, so I could probably get a discount on top of ensuring that I get one tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
I called today. Staples had no idea what it was and the person at Canada Computers said that there was a chance that they might get stock tomorrow (they didn't get any in today's shipment), but he heard that it might be delayed until June.

:( is all I can say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
I am extremely underwhelmed with how Asus is handling this release in NA. You would think that if there were actual issues they would be honest and up front with their potential customers to explain what the heck is going on.

ugh.... :( pick it up Asus! we want this thing so bad!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Chilkoot:
I stopped into a Staples west of Toronto today (April 25), and was lucky enough to catch the head of their technology dept. along with the regional tech head who was there for a meeting. Both of them were in the dark on the Transformer/TF101, and were quite sure there were no plans to carry any Asus tablets at all any time soon (they mentioned the Acer one though).

Still, they kindly gave me the benefit of the doubt and performed what I took to be a thorough search through several systems. Unfortunately, they found no indication of the tablet whatsoever in any of the warehouses or pipelines that they checked - again evincing that Staples, in Ontario at least, would not be selling this device in the immediate future.

On a side note, the local manager chap informed me that Asus does not ship product to the stores (in Ontario) through Staples' warehouse system, but uses their own logistics backbone. I suppose that's a ray of hope, but if it was going to go on sale tomorrow, it almost certainly would have shown up on a shipping manifest or in the pricing system by now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] igot6strings:
so much doubt as to if this will be released on time yet the countdown on the Asus facebook page still says tomorrow. Sigh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
This doesn't sit well for me at all. I don't think I've ever seen a product launch so disorganized as this - ASUS seem focused on giving these tablets away in contests (which they are CONSTANTLY spamming over twitter and facebook).

As someone who wants to GIVE THEM my money, it doesn't look like it's going to happen and if it does, it's certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Almost every other tablet in the market has been on retail websites at least a month before launch and here we are , one day before we are supposedly able to pick these up and nobody has a clue about them. Pathetic.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] hbk19:
Well, looking in the US availability thread, someone posted a quote from Android Central:

So, I guess we might be able to strike out in-store stock, though I would have preferred that. It might be a race to order it online.
