[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
I went from the Infuse to the Vivid and the camera on the Vivid flat out blows. For an 8mp camera, I'm not impressed. Ive taken better pics on my good ole Captivate. If the camera remains the same quality as the Infuse, then I will be very pleased. I'm getting rid of my Vivid as soon as I can. I used to like HTC phones, but I've not been impressed over the past couple years at all. The Vivid is nice, but not worth the price.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkSt:
I have a 10.1 Tab and just got the 8.9, because I REALLY like the size better. the bummer is that the screen is so much... dingier... than the 10.1. the white is like a very light yellow/brown. Not a pure, crystal, white like the 10.1. I went back to Best Buy and compared it with the floor model and its the same. On its own it looks fine3, and if you didn't know any better, you might be OK with it, but maybe I;m spoiled. I hear there's an app called Voodoo that can tweak that - I hope so.

The second problem is another deal-breaker; I can;t tether to my Android phone. Yet my 10.1 connects and works great. The 8.9 connects, but doesn't work.

I'm still on 3.1, so I'm hoping 3.2 fixes that, but when I was on 3.1 with the 10.1, I had no problems, so I don't hold much hope here. Has anyone else had problems with tethering to their phone? I have a rooted HTC Incredible 2 running OpenGarden. Works great for all my devices - except the 8.9.

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynewuser:
my 8.9 also screen yellowish in color. If i turn off the power saving, the screen become better. But normally I prefer longer battery than color screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varsas:
Have you accidentally changed the display mode? Mine is set to normal but the movie mode does give it the tint you mention; dynamic is a very bright normal setting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkSt:
Whoa - I never noticed this setting. Unfortunately, I don't have the 8.9 in front of me, but I will check this asap. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
assuming you're running ad-hoc on the tethering and that you're 10.1 is rooted with a custom rom the possible reason would be that your wpa_supplicant file needs to be updated. alterbridge has it added to his rom. if you're running stock and have no need for custom roms you can replace the wpa file from alterbridge's rom or if someone has it pulled they can upload it here. i don't have access right now to do it myself... only so much goofing off you can do at work, lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkSt:
I checked the 8.9 screen mode- its set to Normal. None of the settings make it look as bright as the 10.1. Attached is a picture showing them side by side. The 10.1 is a lot easier to read, for me - but my eyes suck.

http://ticket2ryder.com/tabs.jpg

Well... the picture doesn't come close to doing it justice. Trust me, it's harder to read because it's got a yellow cast to it - similar to what you get on a Sony Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkSt:
Good news! I returned the 8.9 and got a new one and not only is the screen brighter, but the WiFi connects to my phone! Happy happy joy joy.

Newegg all grey 32/64 SOLD OUT...ETA: 12/8/11

FRY's also has all colors and sizes for preorder not just 64GB Champagne
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
just did right before the post. forgot it on my many open tabs haha. thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
the 9th was an old release date. Most likely it is false considering all of the problems amazon has been having
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
im confused about the canadian amazon one, i thought they wernt going to start sending them to people until after christmas.

what are my chances of getting it on the 16th? or even the 18th? or 20th? or 22th? or... lol im just wondering if its even possible to get it on or before the 18th?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
its all speculative. dates have been seen from the 16th all the way to january of the next year. Since the release date is UNKNOWN for all retailers right now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SHRED:
I have a gold and a gray on pre-order from Best Buy.com, they were selling both.

Asus UK Facebook says arriving January in the UK, 499 combo, tablet + keyboard.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
so if i preorder on amazon, would i be able to cancel my preorder a month from now? as long as its not shipped?

im just wondering, encase i find a place that will let me do an in store pickup or possibly get on from a store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
yup. with amazon, you have until the day before it ships to cancel i believe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Canada BB and Futureshop are expected on the 22nd.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=f3edf757669f54096ab5fbe2fefb3bd8en02

I also got an email from NCIX last week stating that they expected them by the 22nd as well. I'm waiting for a second email for a confirmation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
thank you sir!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jinx405:
A fair few Australians are importing from B&H Photo and Video, since there's no official release date here just yet:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/825956-REG/ASUS_TF201_B1_GR_32GB_Eee_Pad_Transformer.html

Its currently out of stock though, and it's expected availability is sometime in December.

Despite my desire for a Prime asap, i'm going to play the waiting game and pick one up next month instead :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Yeah B&H should definitely be listed in the OP, it is listed by Asus as one of the launch partners.

Also, absolutely horrible font in the OP.

I've looked through the threads on this forum and transformerforums.com and from what I can tell according to posts here is that the first time pre-ordering was possible from following US sellers was at those dates:

Amazon 18 November

TargetDirect 21 November

Bestbuy 22 November

GameStop 22 November

B&H 24 November

Newegg 25 November

We also have Adorama that is not listed by Asus, who was first mentioned on 1st December.

This might be helpful to figure out how likely it is or is not that you are part of the first batch or not. But do note that these dates are only the first time someone mentioned here or in transformerforums.com that pre-ordering is possible from those sellers, they might have been up for pre-orders already before that.

Here's the message I got from Adorama yesterday

Hi,

At this time we have the item on order. However, this is a brand new model and we have yet to receive our first shipment.

Currently, we are estimated to receive this item around 1/1/12. Please note that these dates are estimates from the manufacturer and are subject to change at their discretion. Please bear with us as we are the mercy of the manufacturer. We will ship the item as soon as it arrives. Orders are fulfilled in the order we received them, on a first come first serve basis. We appreciate your patience and loyalty.

still looking for a preorder in canada that will get me one faster then amazon.ca
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josuetenista:
I ordered mine 22th November. My order hasnt been cancelled but I still dont have a Delivery Stimate for my tablet, I only have a delivery stimate for the dock? Do you think that the order will be updated and shipped on the 18th?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
still very much up-in-the-air. everything is speculative. everyone is getting "official" reports for different dates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
That's exactly what my order says. I'm hoping for some (positive) change in the next couple of days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
BB Release Date on my order details changed to Dec 20 but still Dec 22 on product page.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skewbasteve:
I just rechecked my BB (USA) order status, still says 12-18-11 for the champagne 32GB and 12-31-11 for the dock. Noticed how they took the champagne model off the site today hmmm

xGary what color was yours? In USA or Canada?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Im in BB Canada and its a 32GB Grey
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
J&R told me Dec 15th
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
When did they tell you that? It seems like the dates have been sliding out as distributors tell retailers they're not getting them on time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm about 99% convinced to take a pill or something and forget about getting a Prime anytime this month. If one of my pre-orders comes through, awesome, but refreshing this forum for updated speculation is getting ridonculous.

I mean, certainly I have more of a life than THIS, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Uh, no. not if you are like me anyway. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
Dec 3rd

"Thank you for your email. We are told the release is Dec 15. We will know more as the day draws nearer."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
my bestbuy still says the 18th. hoping for the 12th though!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Geniusdog254:
Haha, the 12th would be fantastic. That's mah birthday! :D

Buuut, I'm really just hoping to have it in time for Christmas although according to Amazon that's looking more and more unlikely. Ordered my 64GB grey around 6PM CST on November 22nd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elamericano:
Newegg just updated their website eta 12/27/11
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Interesting. That would likely represent their second shipment (1st shipment taken up by preorders).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elamericano:
...From this thread to Newegg's ear regarding 1st and second shipments...I will be calling customer service tomorrow
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
To be clear, I'm assuming that's their 2nd shipment because presumably they've already sold out their entire first shipment w/ the preorders.

Now, when that first shipment actually is? That's anybodies guess :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Frys called me to confirm my billing address. Asked when they will ship my Prime he informed me 12/14.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
Adorama doesnt bring up any prime in search results now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bendispo:
Just got off the phone with Tiger Direct (US). They stopped doing preorders awhile ago, but told me that they'll be receiving they're shipment on the 20th. The rep said they should be getting about a 1,000, which he said would be more than enough to cover all current preorders/backorders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
My wife's going to kill me, but I just added another preorder to my pile, this time at Frys. Maybe too late for that one... I swear, if I get more than one of these and end up paying too much extra in shipping charges, I'm a dead man.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
Just explain to her that this pre-order is extremely important, equate it to...I don't know, waiting for the release of a new Chanel bag and pre-ordering it to ensure getting it on said release date, and so wouldn't the extra shipping costs be worth it? :cool:

Anyway, I say multiple-pre-orders are becoming a must at this point...most sites seem to have a fairly flexible cancel policy when it comes to pre-order. From what I've researched thus far, it's easier to cancel pre-order than any other kind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
i see a big bite in the ass coming. specially with multiple retailers claiming 12/18 release
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
I'm trying to ignore the slight "pending doom" feeling I have, a la The Day After.

I may have to attend Pre-Orderers Anonymous.

I will cautiously continue to hope for Dec. 19th (thanks MSN for the Dec. 8th release tease a week ago, btw).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
the 9th you have 3 primes on your doorstep. hi-larious
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techronico:
I just received the following email at 3am (23 mins ago) regarding my pre-order for two of the 64GB units in grey. Let's see what they do with it... This was just a backup anyway for my Amazon order on Nov 18 of the same.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
Yours could be due to 64gb and not overall prime availability.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
So far majority of cancellations have been about Amethyst Gray and 64GB?

Now, that might mean that they produced equal amount of those two colors. But according to a poll in transformerforums.com, there are about 50% more 'likes' for Amethyst Gray than there are for Champagne Gold. This would be more or less in line with Asus claim that there are 50% more orders. This might explain why Champagne Gold has not been canceled so often (or at all, in some places). In fact, Asus might have figured Champagne Gold is more popular, this was afterall the device that leaked first and was presented first as well, though their newer promotional materials have focused more on Amethyst Gray.

I guess same applies to 64GB, they underestimated the demand for 64GB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
First I've herd of a 64GB being canceled... almost all the problems have been with 32GB grey ones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ramius71:
Do anyone off you that have multiple preorders ever considered that you block others from preordering?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Others who weren't QUICK enough. Early bird gets the worm? Plus, if you're on a pre-order list and a bunch of people drop their pre-orders YOU will get bumped up. At the end of the day these guys are only getting one tablet, so they're not really blocking you from getting one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
What you say is true, to some extent. However, it still would delay somewhat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Well you have the manufacturer and retailers to blame. If they were able to give us concrete release dates and not be pulling preorders left and right we won't have to have multiple preorders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techronico:
Just to clarify my pre-order has not been canceled, just fuxored to a later time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Consider what you're saying: since I have no idea which vendor will have stock available when, I'd essentially be saying, "I'm going to be nice and only place a single pre-order, meaning that it's quite likely that I won't actually get a unit and will therefore be handing the unit I would have otherwise received to someone else. Merry Christmas, whomever!"

Sorry, but while I'm a nice guy, I'm not THAT nice. This is very much an each-man-for-himself scenario. If I had knowledge that I was taking food out of some baby's mouth, I'd feel differently. However, I can't imagine more diametrically opposed situations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
while we are having mixed statements..

bestbuy has confirmed that if you have pre-ordered the device, you WILL be getting it around the 18th.

From the rep: it could be sooner if you are closer, or later if you are farther. if you have no pre-ordered, you will have to wait until january
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Hopefully... Lots of people have been confirming lots of things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bendispo:
Don't know if this has been posted yet, but just to let you know, I spoke to a J&R rep today. They will absolutely not be getting any shipments in before the New Year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Oh god...why haven't they just cancel my order. My only shot now is gamestop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lchanmanl:
Amazon's link to the 64GB grey version is now a 404 page, but my order is still there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
I'm pretty sure they'll pull through. The only thing that sucks about them is their extremely limited stock, the fact that only American Gamestops are selling it, and not every Gamestop in the states will be tablet vendors... So very limited stock at very few locations. OH and no 64GB. If you happen to want a Grey 32GB AND there's a tablet-selling GS near you, AAAAAANNND they haven't sold all their pre-orders, DO IT!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
Just got off the phone with a service rep. at Amazon who said the release date is the 12th, but Asus would not ship to Amazon until the 30th. That's why the orders show shipping dates of Jan.5-9. he apologized and gave me free overnight shipping. better late than never. I think compared to my recent hp touchpad experience this isn't so bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Mother ****er!!!! I don't know who I'm mad at.... actually I do... both of them!!!! Give me my tablet you sons of *****es!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Got another update for ya!

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/12/07/a...ow-being-released-on-december-20th-in-canada/

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=f3edf757669f54096ab5fbe2fefb3bd8en02

Apparently Canada, Futureshop AND Bestbuy (the only two I checked) JUST updated their dates to the 20th of December! That's TWO WHOLE DAYS EARLIER than what they were saying a few days ago. My guess is that they finally got the memo that the 19th was the street release date. Anyways, They're still all pre-ordered out, but for those with pre-orders things are looking good!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rosco64209:
Soo... Amazon knew the entire time that they were shipping out the 30th and thats why, ever since i ordered, it says jan 9th (2day shipping). Did you order the gray 32gb?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
just placed my order for one at game stop. the guy said not much play on them here, which is surprising because they are in down town. thought they would have sold out early
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
If this is true, I'm gonna be super bummed. Amazon was my only option (I don't currently have $750 to blow on the tablet and they gave me financing options. I seriously hope you're just trying to troll us
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Welp, I ordered my 64 GB one on 11/22, and it's said Jan. 9 since day one. And now the web page has been taken down... wtf is all that about.. maybe they think they will be harassed less about a release date if there is no page to view.

somebody know any more? because JR its out of stock and Adorama

whats the best alternative i got?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
It seems like the only good bet at this point is Gamestop, and it's debatable how good a bet that is.

Somebody has already posted that Frys aren't getting them until the new year, I would be shocked if CDW or Expansys was any faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thatguych4rlie:
I called nearly 15 gamestop stores near me and where I work that are listed as selling tablets. They all said that pickups for pre-orders start on the 19th and once you pre-order, you are guaranteed a tablet starting that day.
