I picked up my G2x free when I signed up with T-Mobile. I ran stock for about a month with zero issues, and then rooted and tried a bunch of roms & kernels. I have not had a single problem with this phone. It's amazing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdviper:
Well I just popped in my sim last night. Using the cm7 nightlies and running fauxs kernel 0.4.6 and its good. I've already had the phone shut down on me while charging and the data connection go. Not good for the first day but I'm finding it great to use. No different from my Sensation running a sense rom, it gets the job done. Its quick and I like the glass being curved aat the ends.

Data seems slow on it though, not as fast as the Sensation but overall great experience.

I'm probably going to keep this phone as a backup and use it once in a while.

Thank god, this doesn't have the LCD bleeding issue, but the viewing angles suck though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Has anyone been to gamestop today to check to see if they have the Prime available to play with? If so, what are your thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
No but I'm sure you could call them and ask instead of wasting gas...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Just a heads up, not all GameStops sell Tablets and because of that not all GameStops will be displaying and/or selling the Prime. If you go to GameStop you can use the tablet section to find locations that are actually tablet stores and they will most likely have the Prime for display. Hope that helps stop people from running around town looking to check one out only to be disappointed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I understand it's not available at all Gamestop stores, I was just trying to see if anyone has played with one yet. I am stuck at work all day and haven't been able to go to one yet. So has anyone played with one, if so what are your thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cordy:
Ok np, I just wanted to point that out, as this is the internet and some people may have read that and not be aware of the fact that not all locations carry them. I personally would but I honestly don't feel like driving to the nearest one which is about 20 miles just to check it out. I will be patient. There is another thread where someone purchased a unit from GameStop, so if they are receiving their units other retailers are as well so it's only a matter of time before they start shipping for pre-orders. I'm personally hoping my Newegg order ships this week.

I called my local ones that are listed and 2 out of 3 have it in stock. One of them already has them a full stock of the Asus in the store, but won't sell them until the 19th. Another store that didn't have the demo said they will be getting the demo plus the rest of there stock in by Thursday, but also won't be selling it till the 19th as well. I wonder how he was able to buy one right away. I think I might try and get one in store if mine doesn't ship by the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scotte3:
GameStop near me had one in stock.

I was the first one in the door when they opened.

The manager did not seem to know the one he had was a demo.

He sold it to me with a pickup date when it could be 'released'.

I was surprised he seemed clueless that it was a Demo only.

I would really rather have the 64GB version I have on pre-order but with all the turmoil over supply issues I decided to lock it in while I could. I can always sell it on Ebay if the 64GB comes in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
i went in a played with it but he woudnt sell me one

The gamestop 75miles away from me has a 32gb champagne gold (purple) one & believe me i have no problem making that drive & getting it in that color either lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:
gamestop related: i noticed they removed availability online for the prime as well as the games that came on the device.. that area is now blank.. wish there was more information on gamestop.com
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
So is this so called "purple" Prime ugly? because the color "purple" is a better fit for grandma or my mum...

So let me get this right.. I can walk into a gamestop (assuming they have the prime demo and stock..) And pay like $5 to reserve one that I can then pick up on the 19th? If so I may aswell just cancel my pre-order and not have to pay shipping and not have to wait an extra day fir it to get shipped...

Anyone have any information about this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Just got off the phone at my local Gamestop. Looks like they are taking pre-orders in store! Going tomorrow for sure to lock one down. I will for sure cancel order online once done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
So only $5 needed to put down to reserve one? If so, I'm going to do that also asap..lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
So what about the looks of the purple? Is it all decepticon style or what? That is really good news that they are taking pre-orders in store.. If that means I can walk in on the 19th and pick up my decepticon prime then I may just have to do that ASAP!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:
i dont mind the purple.. just gonna get this... carbon fiber and screen protector. screen protector for smudge prevention ofcourse. no smudges for me! :D

http://www.skinomi.com/sk9730-asus-transformer-prime-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
Very nice find, thanks for that link.. I think if the purple is all grape aped out then I will for sure just order this and be happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Lol sorry I got excited and hung up. I Forgot to ask. If there is a $5 reserve np. Still get off cheaper then overnight shipping + having that assurance of getting same day it is released is awesome!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irriadin:
I called two Gamestops today, and the pre-order amount is $50.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dnaL0R:
$30!!

wth~
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BesZain:
I suggest you do it now. Unless they cancel your order completely (unlikely), you may end up finding out that your store will get one just for you (write down the name of the guy/girl/transformer you talk to), OR that your store will NOT carry it (in which case you can raise hell and have your order transferred to a store nearby that WILL carry it).

Don't ignore it, because even now you have time until launch day to fix any issues with your pre-order at your specific store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Went into gamestop this morning after a hour long drive lol.Paid fifty bucks & the guy told me that even some apple sales reps had been in to pre-order one for themselves!!

He said I'm guaranteed one on the nineteenth & I asked him about colors & he said what color you want & I said champagne gold.So he wrote my name & # down & said as soon as they come in he's putting my name on the champagne gold one!!! So you better believe I will be there when the store opens on the nineteenth!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thatguych4rlie:
All this about orders being cancelled from gamestop? I just pre-ordered in New York City today. I'll have to call them tonight to confirm everything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Glad it worked out But one thing. What about your receipt to show as proof in case their computer systems throw up some error? Or did he at least give you a confirmation number?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsjyns:
I've got the receipt for the gift card of course. I didn't think about getting a confirmation or transaction number but I can call back and get that now. I'll update with info

Edit: I got the girl there to email me a copy of the receipt, so its all good...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Meanee:
Just pre-ordered from Gamestop. The one closer to me said that tablet sales are still an experiment for Gamestop. Drove to another location, dropped 50 bucks. They didn't even ask for size, color, just said it's $499, and out on 19th. They just received a demo unit, I was the first one to power it up, and I must say, it's really impressive. Honeycomb even managed to be very fluid in terms of swiping panels, zoom, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
We were the lucky ones that pre-ordered when they were taking in for non tablet stores. The same thing happened to me. I will be the only one receiving it since I was the only person that had placed an order proir to them halting pre-orders. The manger assured me that he has the only one shipping to their store just for me:)

Edit: They informed me that they will call on the 19th for me to pick it up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i went in to play with the demo unit at the gamestop in chino hills, i talked to another sales girl today and she said the 19th, and i'd have one for sure, so it looks like the 19th is going to be the launch date for gamestops that carry them after all. :)

also, the color is barely purple at all, essentially it's a tinted dark gray. i'm happy with the color.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
Funny I asked the chino hills one last night, and they told me 20th. It was a girl as well. But i guess there could be more than one female working at gamestop haha. God i hope they don't push it back again. first they say nov. 28th, then dec. 8th, then dec. 13th, now 19th and 20.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
I tried to preorder it at gamestop and they told me u have to do it online but online its doesnt let u preorder
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Did they have a tablet demo station in the store? The stores with tablets on display seem to be much better informed about the whole thing..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
Didnt look but im sure they didnt. I called yesterday and dont think they knew what IO was talking about but they told me i could preorder but now I cant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ljayhova:
I live in South Carolina and none of our stores sell tablets but I went in the store and explained that this tablet is coming out soon and I wanted to preorder. Of course the guy had no idea what I was referring to but when he pulled it up in the system he said I could pre-order. Expected date is the 19th. I don't think I've ever wanted a new toy so bad! This thing needs to hurry up and drop I'm going crazy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Just asking this, b/c I know it's not on the website....

Can you pre-order the 64GB version in-store?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
They only let you preorder a "Transformer Prime"

From the price we can guess it's a 32GB. No option for color w/ the preorder either, seems like that's either going to be all grey, or a crapshoot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thatguych4rlie:
Use this tool on the gamestop website to search for stores that sell tablets:

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/events/tablets/

From what I've been told by their reps, most stores are only selling the grey model and pre-orders are limited to 32GB. That's just from my experience calling 15-20 stores. What have you guys heard?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
that's what they told me when i went to preorder the other day (the 20th) but today they said the 19th, so at least it's moving in the right direction!

my only guess is that they were playing it safe just in case something crazy happened and they didn't have it on the 19th for me or something. but i'm going to call them on the 19th when they open and see if i can pick it up if they haven't contacted me by then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I'm getting champagne gold.The guy said he'd put my name on it & that they would be getting plenty of tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
I wonder if some marketing 'genius' at Asus had a last minute epiphany to reroute supply of the tfp from online retailers in order to have a physical presence in a store first. A store not overrun with a zillion computers and cheap tablets (ala best buy) that would have otherwise detracted from the tfp?

Weird that they would pick a store like Gamestop...

Or did they realize that the key Android power tablet buyer is probably a nerd who would frequent such a place?

I mean those who want the easy pre-made tablet experience usually choose apple. It hands down works simply because they make both the software and hardware. But for those who want to command their tablet, Android is the way to go even if it's not always that smooth sailing.

Maybe Asus is the first company to realize who their market really is...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
Sometimes the key to success through marketing is not in selling the most but creating a brand. Maybe Asus is realizing that they can't co-op Apple's cool factor and user friendly factor as Samsung and Motorola seem to be doing and are instead moving towards creating a new image for the tablet itself. Thus the random choice of Gamestop and the lax concern about making it before Christmas.

I don't know. Just a thought...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
They're positioning Tegra 3, and by extension the Transformer Prime as a gaming platform, so it's definitely part of their strategy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
If I wasn't jonesing for it I'd say it was a good move actually. The tablet market has segmented, has always been segmented actually. Just as there are some types of computers better suited for certain functions, so there are/shall be different tablets and tablets OSes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BesZain:
Just to clarify :) : did they say they'll call you on the 19th to pick it up the same day (meaning they'll call you on the day the tablet is available), or did they say they'll call you on the 19th to let you know when (and which date) you can pick it up?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
CRAP, the GameStop close to me that has the demo is now sold out for pre-order, this is within 24 hours! I just won't be able to get to pre-order in-store until Friday morning, the next closest one with it available according to the tool is at a mall 12 miles away from me.

Oh well, I just keep my fingers crossed they still have some by Friday morning, I'll drive 12 miles to get it...I NEED IT.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Wow. Here we go. That's the first I've heard of a sold out Gamestop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
I may have jumped to conclusions...perhaps someone can clarify...it said a big red "sold out" label on the Prime, but when I clicked on the tablet, it was unavailable to order online...

Maybe that means online it's sold out and not necessarily the stores? I don't know.

I bookmarked the locations page so I can just call all the stores close to me tomorrow, there are about four. I think that'll be my best bet...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
online preorders for gamestop are closed, best bet is to call the store and ask if they're still taking orders, as they are two seperate things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HybridHB:
Apparently i ordered from a gamestop that doesnt sell tablets, at least according to the link on the last page. I wonder what this means? Two different stores told me i could preorder it from the one i ordered at. I have a feeling I wont be getting one this year :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
I used your link and now I can see they are sold out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
It also says "Try In Person, Available In Store".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
i walked into the store i prordered from over the past weekend and was told still on target for the 19th
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I know what you mean lol..I drove a hour & a half to pre-order mine.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Just fyi, I pre ordered from gamestop yesterday, and the guy we spoke with said to expect a call next week where they would remind me about my preorder, confirm the delivery date, and ask if I would like to add a dock, which would be available at the same time for the preorders. He said that they had not posted the dock anywhere yet because they had not been sure they were getting them, but now they knew they were getting a supply, and had decided to offer them first to the preorders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
I was told by the manager that they will call me on the 19th to pick up same day. They won't have to because I'll be there before they unlock their doors!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Seriously!!! Mine told me they open up at 8am, so I will be there by 7:45 awaiting my prime. I am glad I don't have to work that day or the next. My wife is going to hate me probably because I will be spending more time with it lol :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
Seems that GameSpot is one of a few vendors that are on top of their game! Glad I pre ordered mine online 11/23. Have a feeling your not going to be able to walk in a store and just grab one off the shelf.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I'm not walking in grabbing one off their shelf, I am having them walk into the back where they told me they already had them at. The store I pre-ordered from already has a few in stock in the back storage area from what they told me along with the demo I played with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
I just hope there is NO gamestop bloat !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Root it and take that crap off...that's what I will do with it and if Asus buts crap on it that I don't need.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acafaca333:
I just went to a local "tablet" gamestop in metro Atlanta and they just took off the preorders from the system. I called another tablet gamestop in the area and they also have concluded the in store preorders. I guess all I can do is hope my amazon champagne 32 gb preorder goes through.

Oh and I played the the prime at the gamestop. Super thin and georgous display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smashingblue:
Wish I would have kept my pre-order, instead of asking questions about the pre-order. I went back to a couple Gamestops who now told me they are not allowed to take pre-orders and the computer has the option to even attempt one "greyed" out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayaman22232:
Called gamestop earlier and they said the same thing although my local gamestop said they will have it on launch day and that no one has preordered from them yet. I hope I can get one after Bb canceling my preorder :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i'm so glad my usual lazyness and procrastination didn't kick in and i ordered one last week!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RoC1909:
I just went to my local Gamestop in Rancho Cordova and the guy there looked at me like I was crazy. He said he had no idea what I was talking about and nothing had been sent out. He did some searching, found nothing and stated that he would talk to his manager sometime this week.

Needless to say.....this was a no-go for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HybridHB:
I went to a gamestop in orlando that sells tablets and they said their pre order lot was sold out as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
best bet

amazon pissed me off. JR, have heard nothing from them. Wonder if I should call and cancel that. Would prefer champagne gold but don't really know what gamestop will have, from the website looks like we'll be getting the grey, no other option. Who knows, but I'll take either one really. I put in my gamestop order this tuesday and they said I was first to preorder there and I will probably get one on the 19th. I'm really hoping that's true cause I have no faith in the JR.com order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i'm assuming gamestop is getting all gray tabs, but some people have said they're getting both and will allow pre order customers to choose based on supply.

if that's the case, i'll have some decisions to make on the 19th, i'm quite alright with the gray after seeing it in person, but the video's of the pretty silver make me kind of like that too!

so many issues! :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Somebody on these forums that works for Gamestop reported in the early days that they will only be stocking the 32GB in Amethyst Grey. In the end though who really knows. Hopefully we find out on or before the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:

I have no idea when my order is to be shipped. The website said originally december 8th, is that still true? If not when? "

I just received that reply concerning my online preorder :(. I could have sworn online preorders were going to be sent out before the retail were.. looks like if you preordered in the store you are going to get it earlier :/. My preorder was on Nov 23rd. I am pretty disappointed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Most people who ordered from GameStop got Dec. 19th. As release day for pickup. That Dec. 8th. Date shoulda been taken with a grain a salt. Especially since everyone saying the 19th. No need to be disappointed. Maybe a little to anxious. I'm sure you'll get it by or on the 19th also like the rest of us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
Ha! apple does not make the hardware, samsung does.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jleewong:
Did you order the Asus Transformer Prime Bundle (one that comes with controller)? or just the regular prime?

I was told from someone at Gamestop Order verification that the Asus Transformer Prime Bundle (one with controller) is actually a pre-order special and is suppose to ship out on the 9th. He is prob wrong about that but it doesnt hurt to hope :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
That's exactly what I meant thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:
I ordered the bundle. It would be logical to think that since they get the tablets in the warehouse on the 19th they have to put the controller in a box with the tablet, it doesnt come with the controller shipped with it from asus... probably take the same amount of time if not longer. I do remember seeing the date for the bundle earlier ship date but they took off all the dates from gamestop a week ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colonel187:
Ha!

Apple DESIGNS the hardware and writes the software . Same thing as making it.
