Got my dock today its awesome. But I have a problem. None of the posted shortcuts work.

Though thats probably cuz I don't have a tablet yet......

Anyone wanna trade?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grenademasta:
Thanks I just bought one from Datavis with the $5 off plus the $6 shipping for $131 out the door.

Buy.com wanted 129.99 with no $5 off coupon, plus $6 shipping, plus sales tax, plus $8 disposal fee? WTH? $153? I don't think so.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lani Kai:
Finally got mine today from Amazon; I had ordered it at the same time as the Tablet (that is, about 5 minutes into launch day). The tablet itself arrived last week and the keyboard arrived today so... Roughly 2 weeks to delivery?

I had a bit of trouble trying to get the keyboard to lock on to the tablet, but so far using it has been a pleasant experience. I had to undock it once because it stopped responding but typing has not been as bad as I was expecting. I've used an ASUS netbook at work and the keyboard on that was horrid; this is much better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gregjuice:
AmericanTV sent me an email saying that the dock is in their stock, and i can pick up soon. Sadly, though, their site has been down this morning. I think I will give them a call. I ordered the dock on Apr 29th.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kgdg:
I have a dock for sale,pm me if you are interested, am in dallas area..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I shall pray for you, but good luck getting that dock from datavis...and even more luck getting your money back if they send you a backorder notice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Thanks for the link. I ordered this morning but haven't received a confirmation email yet though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
my dock just arrived from Newegg!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wekebu:
Return policy. Datavis has a 14 day and Buy.com has 45 days. With the troubles we're seeing with this dock, I like the extra 30 days at Buy.com
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Both are out of Stock :( Just called...darn I keep missing it!

Either way I usually get my warranty from Squaretrade.com They have always been great and if anything is wrong they will take care of it. There are coupons all over for them to get off 20%.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] StingRay_:
Just receiving a shipping notice from J&R for my dock! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kookooktchoo:
Same here, I pre-ordered mine on 4/28.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerirat:
I received a shipping notice from AmericanTV for my dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
Datavision backordered just like everyone else. I placed and order while the dock was listed as "in stock". In reality, they won't be able to ship until two weeks from now even though I paid extra for expedited shipping.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sam9938:
My Datavis order for the dock just shipped. Hope its not crap.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
I really hope that's not true. Their "order status" is really abysmal. What the hell is status A?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fullthrottleenergy:
My order status looked the same. LOL. My order # was 1491321. Ordered 1:02 am EST

I called this morning and they said mine would be shipping out today and he said they had more then enough but I just called them again to follow up and he said it's back ordered for 1-2 weeks as they got a lot of orders. I just cancelled it. Don't really trust these guys.

Hope it ships earlier for you guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
After calling them to see when my order would be shipped and told that they had "oversold", I just received a UPS tracking number for my order in email.

Went to UPS and it said that they had not received the shipment yet...

Don't know what to make of this. Do they just print labels really early to make it look like they are shipping backordered things? Or did I somehow get one of their limited amount docks?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Which company are you referring to?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fullthrottleenergy:
What were your order numbers?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
Woo!! It is alive! So far, so good!

http://yfrog.com/h8mv7xrnj
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
Sorry, yes it was Davavision. My order number was 1491248.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krighton:
if anyone is selling an extra dock for retail + shipping, pm me.

and does anyone have a link to the original keyboard dock that was sold on datavision, can't find it on their site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
Oh wow, just checked UPS again and it is apparently on it's way. 2-day business. Color me surprised!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sam9938:
My order number was 1491243 UPS says it thould be here tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sheureka:
I just ordered a dock from Bottom Line Telecommunications (I never heard of them either but they have great reseller ratings) for $119.60 plus $2.00 handling (free shipping, no tax). They're expecting a shipment on May 25, and even though they say they're getting 130 and have 149 backordered I figured it was still worth it because some of the backorders will surely be canceled. And they don't charge the credit card until shipment. They also show the 9' charging cord, special order only, for $29.70. I can't put a link up because I don't have enough posts (though I've been hanging around since 2005).- sheureka
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerirat:
I received a tracking number from AmericanTV earlier today and I just checked it and UPS has my dock and it should be here Friday with ground shipping.

Now that Asus is releasing a fix for the dock, I'm a happy camper!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jester450:
On a business trip in Renton WA. Thought I'd stop by the local Frys.They have 3 docks here on the floor.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] samzion:
Kilmar,

Thanks again for the smooth transaction for the dock. He didn't even want/make a profit. Really seems to be a wonderful human being. Nuff Kudos.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
Hey where did you hear about the fix?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr0ne57:
AmericanTV seems to be claiming that they have the dock in stock and ships within 1-2 days. In the cart it says they have limited stock. Bit the bullet and placed an order. In order history it's status says it's set to ship tomorrow, however additional details says that the estimated ship is "not in stock", so it's hard to say.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Good luck. I've had an order with them since May 4. Yesterday it said to ship on the 10th (today), and today it now says set to ship on the 11th.

I'm guessing they were expecting a rather large shipment today, but didn't get it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
Yep, I called to cancel today and they said it is shipping tomorrow. I was skeptical because when i signed up yesterday it said it would ship in 1-2 weeks. Hmm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Great, AmericanTV just delayed - AGAIN - the estimated ship date to May 12.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
Fullfillment Method: UPS Shipping	Status: Estimated Ship Date: 11-MAY-11

Just checked
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr0ne57:
Noticed that myself. Updated to May 11, then jumped to May 12. Sad panda :[
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
What's your Sale #? Mine's 00001948317 placed on May 3
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
00001969461

It just changed. damn!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
I hope they dont keep doing this so they keep people on the hook

Confusing status is confusing

Status: Estimated Ship Date: 11-MAY-11

Qty: 1	Item: Transformer Docking Station	Price: $149.97

Est ship: 12-MAY-11
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Dont know, but when i ordered on May 3, it was In Stock, then Out of Stock, then changed to May 10, then May 11, and now May 12.

I'm going to call in tomorrow to *****.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
Let me know how it goes. They told me today "well the item says here its going to ship tomorrow, are you sure you want to cancel"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr0ne57:
My favorite part is they charge your card immediately but string you along on the estimated shipping date and make it confusing with the two listed shipping dates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doronster195:
Guys at least there's good news, the keyboard dock is functional once you receive the update. I received the update from an Asus rep today, and the keyboard had shown 0 problems, even has a battery indicator for the keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
:eek::eek: POST IT, ftp it, upload it?!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
Orderd from datavision yesterday when it was in stock. Called today and sayed there out of stock and won't be shipping it. If u ordered from then make sure u call them to verify
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Same here with AmericanTV. Was the 10th, then the 11th, now the 12th :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerirat:
In this post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grenademasta:
Just got off the phone with Datavision. They said it was out of stock and 1-2 weeks before they get more in. I cancelled my order (I placed it two days ago).

Bad business when they sell more than they actually have if they even had it to begin with.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] atxer:
My dock has arrived. Ordered on 26th from AMZN. Will report back any issues or general feedback once I get my hands on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spinkick:
My american tv order just got marked shipped!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Same here. Glad they finally started getting them out the door, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
It is a beta and has bricked at least one dock. I think we should wait a few days until they figure out the issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pokey9000:
At fry's Austin right now buying a case, and there's a keyboard dock sitting in the laptop section with a $149 sign next to it. Go crazy, everyone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Me too! I'll only be rest assured when I see some movement on ups tracking since they have been stringing me along for almost two weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Jealous!!!!! I want a dock!!!! :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krighton:
been looking for 2 weeks for a dock...no luck...this morning, on a whim, i went to microcenter.com and refreshed a couple times...BLAM 3 docks in stock for local pickup....ordered it, hopped in the car and drove 35 miles and picked one up ...bought time i had a stroke of good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Great timing. Congrats.

I got my dock Monday from Amazon.com. Now I hope they ship me the Transformer on Friday so I will have something to plug into the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr0ne57:
My AmericanTV dock is also stating shipped! So glad I went on last night on a whim to see ^_^
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
My local Fry's supposedly has them in stock for store pickup. Placed my order online and I'm going to swing by after work. Hopefully they actually have them in stock...

Edit - Blah...figures...out of stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zapatathemute:
Dock Update.

The update installed flawlessly for me and the dock now works perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chrispazz:
my order with datavis is still locked....

i made it when they declared stock.

No news?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I bought through Buy.com which is actually Datavis....today is the second day and buy says "ships in 1 to 2 days"....

but I'm not confident...things aren't looking good..... :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Just curious, can you provide the link to the product page on Microcenter.com? I can't seem to find it on their site.

For those who ordered through Datavis (Buy.com Datavis as well), if it hasn't been shipped yet, they don't have them in stock and don't expect to get them for at least 1-2 weeks. I called them today to verify and cancel my order.

I also ordered when it said "In stock."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Yeah I didn't order the dock, but did take a chance with 16gb TF. I placed the order last night with next day shipping. It took them until like 9am to send me an email confirmation of my order. Ive been tracking my order and doesn't say it has shipped. Seems like a 'dead' order status....so I called them around 1pm today and the lady told me it has shipped via next day and stated I would have it tomorrow. She also said she'd email me a tracking # when it gets in the system. I never did receive the email. Well, I guess ill have to wait and see tomorrow. They could really have stock in, but their tracking system sucks? I've never even heard of datavis, and hope they aren't just a shady company. :-)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dunginhawk:
I have one extra dock i would be willing to part with. I am in it for 174 bucks, with tax and shipping, so i could do like 195 or so. maybe 190 (i would only charge 174 + actual shipping) I can only let it go to the first person who PMs me. I have one other one that I PMd someone about, if that one falls through ill let it go to the 2nd person to PM me.

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lintrix:
Anyone else have their TigerDirect order (through Buy.com) cancelled? Ive been checking this order I placed 5/4/11 through them, and just today it showed Cancelled instead of All Backordered.

Didn't receive confirmation from them or anything for the cancellation.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Datavis screwed me.

Their Buy.com site said that they were in stock (the reason that I bought from there in the first place) then when nothing happened for two days...no emails to me, no change in status...I emailed Buy.com and they told me that I'd have to deal directly with Datavis....

So I called Datavis...and they said that they didn't have any but that they'd get more in in about a week or 10 days....

Great....

When I asked them why they didn't show "out of stock" when I ordered the person whom I talked to just gave me a vague sort of "that's the way it goes" answer....

Nice.:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 03stage2:
still waiting for techonweb to credit back my money for the cancelled order. It has been a week and still no funds. Heck I even got another keyboard shipped to me since!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Typical Fry's. I have been through this with them 3 or 4 times. The web site shows it in stock at a store so your order the unit for pickup, give them the CC info, etc. A few minutes later you get two emails. The first one thanks you for your order. The second one says "Your order is NOT READY for pickup....".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
Ya, now I'm playing the email notification and page monitoring game with 3-4 other sites. Me want keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
I'd never heard of Micro Center before, but I just placed an order and got a confirmation that my keyboard is read for pickup at a local store. Going for a drive over lunch. Sweet!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vicci:
I have checked Micro Center in MA, they don't have it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] js042507:
Micro center in downtown chicago supposedly has some in stock. Im not calling because its too far for me. 2645 elston ave. Phone number is 7732921700. :-)

micro center in Ohio just got a few in. I just called and they put one on hold for me!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
Picked up my dock from Micro Center!! Woohoo!

Pretty nice unit. Keyboard isn't too small, which I was slightly worried about. Thumbs up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kgdg:
Anybody needing a dock, pm me, mine is still packed, unopened, my first buyer flaked out!

I tried to do the right thing and waited to hear back from him and put the other buyers who pmed me on hold, and this guy stopped responding, and now the other buyers have already gotten theirs.!

So, am in Dallas, will ship for $150 + shipping....

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sharpfork:
I have two extra docks.

I had like 20 orders open and accidentally ended up with 3 docks. I'm keeping one and selling the two extras. My cost averaged out to ~$165 a piece. I prefer local in Denver but will open it up to other US locations if I don't find anyone around here. PM me if interested and make it clear if you are in Denver or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dannvok:
Anyone else get in on the twelve minute open window for the dock through Newegg? Mine shows charged (they always like to take the money quickly), so hoping to see it packaging soon. Not sure I really needed it right now, but when I saw it available, I got a little excited!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kgdg:
Are you local? Replied to your PM, dock still available, would prefer local, but will ship, in which case price is $150 + shipping, paypal only
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brittonkerr:
I did. Finally....still waiting as well. I have to fly on Wed....I was fumbling around so much that I selected two day instead of overnight.....

My firewall blocked the nowinstock.net link and I ended up ordering through the TF but the onscreen keyboard kept popping up or down and I had to enter a new card in the system.....Hopefully I made it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brittonkerr:
Why couldn't you have posted this when I was in Denver last week.....Man!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dannvok:
Just think, next time when you order something impromptu on the internet and have to use the TF, you won't have to fumble with the on screen keyboard. You can confidently click away on your dock!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dannvok:
Dock order from Newegg just shows being shipped. 2.5 hours from bought to shipped; I'd say Newegg is getting pretty good at moving these Asus parts.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thoke:
Bah! Missed the newegg one, guess the auto notify doesn't work :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dannvok:
Try installing the page monitor extension (if you use the Chrome browser) and have it check the nowinstock.net Asus accessory page, that's how I was able to see it become available. Had the page monitor checking the web page every 5 seconds, so it caught the page update right away.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blaine.hale:
I just ordered mine from here:

http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=A0BDCP

Cheaper, free shipping and in stock.

I'll let you know if I get a shipment notice tomorrow (I ordered after 3pm.)

**Edit. I immediately received this email from them.

"Asus is a couple weeks behind on production and did not anticipate the mass amount of orders that came in. The stock on this item is not expected to be here until 5/20/2011. Would you like to wait fore the backorder, or cancel?"

While I appreciate the transparency, they should probably update the site to say "back ordered."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chrispazz:
Are you sure is really in stock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
got mine delivered from amazon yesterday evening.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brittonkerr:
Got my tracking # from newegg....woot!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cbyter:
Still have 4 in stock in NoVA from yesterday. Never would have imagined they would last more than 24 hours sitting on the shelf waiting for TLC.

I already have a dock waiting for a TF101-B1, so no help for me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BradB32:
Thanks for the Microcenter tip! I called the store near Philly and they had one left and I was able to pick it up! I then immediately canceled my Dataviz order that was "supposedly" in stock yet never shipped :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drextremeops007:
anyone have an extra dock willing to ship to CA? I am a sincere buyer...will compensate for your effort... I have not been able to score one off the usual culprits and am in despair :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerirat:
My tablet from AmericanTV is out for delivery. Come on, UPS!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Which one the only page monitor ext I see says news and weather. Ughh I keep missing these docks :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dannvok:
That's the one (Page Monitor by Max Shawabkeh). Go ahead and install it. It's a great tool.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
I just got my dock yesterday. Ordered from Datavision when it was in stock with two day shipping. Great form factor and everything. Has the usual bugs in it where the keyboard disconnects all the time. Makes it pretty much unusable. Sent two messages to guy pushing the beta update but still have not received an update. :(

Why would Asus ship a piece of equipment that they know will be nearly DOA? I know it can be fixed with the update, but that is not widely available while the dock is (relatively speaking). Not everyone will know about this super exclusive beta update...so I imagine many people will return it thinking it is unfixable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
It is also strange that some people (like myself) are receiving docs that work with NO issues... and we are running the same firmware versions. That doesn't make much sense to me. I do not have the latest "private beta" dock firmware that the Asus person is distributing in a limited fashion either (just to be clear).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
It is quite strange. I mean mine didn't even work decently a little bit. Five minutes out of the box use and it was disconnevting like crazy.

It makes an excellent stand however lol. Also interesting is that even when my TF is not on the dock the status bar reads that it is and gives my battery a question mark and charge of 0%.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
Got it thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spokenwordd:
Newegg has docks!!!!!!!!! Go now just ordered mine!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Cooky11111:
I missed it again...darn it! :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kap86:
OOS already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spokenwordd:
Keep trying my friend... I was fortunate enough to get a Transformer from Newegg on launch day by doing the F5 shuffle dance for 5 hours.... Have been trying to get the dock ever since. Just happened to be walking by my laptop and hit F5 and almost had a stroke when it refreshed to "add to cart".

My order just went to charged status, ordered overnight with rush processing. Will update if it actually ships.

Keep F5ing I missed it earlier too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr0ne57:
Dock just arrived :D So far haven't experienced any issues that others have mentioned, but I've only been using it for ~5 minutes. Keyboard certainly takes some getting used to from a typical layout, and the slight delay can be a bit cumbersome, but all in all defintely worth it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spokenwordd:
Order just shipped... Newegg is on the ball today... Now the long wait until Monday ugggh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] braway:
I agree

I got it yesterday,

and I'm streaming golf here at work since lunch, battery is still full.

No problems so far, using the original firmware :)

only negative point: the tf+dock combo is a bit heavy (not a deal breaker tho)
