Well, you convinced me to put in a preorder with frys (hope you're not working for them :p ).

So far my order status says "in process" as opposed to back ordered. Did others see this status immediately after ordering? Also, does anyone know how easy it is to cancel a preorder from frys should it come to that? Looks like it can't be done online.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
Ha ha I don't work for frys, but the first rep said that if I changed my mind about it, I could just call with my order number and cancel it to get a refund.

I will be calling them tomorrow too, just to talk with someone else too :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:
It will say "in process" after you first order and after a day or so it will probably say "Partial Backorder". I think you can email them using this form: http://www.frys.com/template/feedback/email/ and request that your pre-order be cancelled with your order number... probably easier to just call.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
So I got a call from Frys this morning.....

They were calling to confirm my order, and that the number associated is correct. She stated that they are for sure coming in on the 14th and will be shipping the same day. I will receive it on the 15th in Montana since I paid for overnight services.

I live in the greater Seattle area, not far from Frys. I will be flying to Billings, Montana at 8am on the 15th. My plane lands at 2pm, and the mail doesn't come until around 3:30pm. With any luck, I will start my vacation by signing for my TFP!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I hope you're right, and that this applies to all orders (including Champagne models). I'll get mine on Friday with 2nd day shipping.

Fingers crossed...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
I just got the same call after pre-ordering only last night! She said she needed to confirm my billing address so they could release my order. I asked if that meant it's already in stock and got the same information about them shipping out Wed. Getting pretty hyped over here!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
They do that on every order, apparently. I got that call after I pre-ordered last week. It just confirms the info and places your order into a state where it can ship whenever the product's available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:
Strange, I never received a call to confirm my billing address.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Okay, so they clearly don't do it with every order... :D However, they also don't do it right before they ship, so it's not a terribly positive sign.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I didn't preorder with Fry's but if two people have really been told to expect it to ship the 14th I would say that is a positive sign. Doesn't mean it is definitely true but it's certainly a positive sign. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
How is Fry's with returns, warranties, etc?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Agreed. I'm terribly (perhaps even irrationally) hopeful that I'll get mine by this Friday. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Fair enough, but I would think that if they're saying they will ship out this week it must at least already be well on its way to their warehouse. Certainly sounds like it will get here before my other pre-order (Newegg) ships out, which is all I'm hoping for. :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm hoping I get mine by Friday so that I can stop refreshing this freaking forum every few minutes. :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
I just pre-ordered one for my wife and right after 30 mins I got a call from Frys to confirm my order and shipping destination.

I asked the representative if they had units on stock and she said they didn't have any but she told me they will arrive pretty soon. I asked next year? She said this year :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
DOH!!!

Frys just called to ruin my day!! The rep stated that they just received word from ASUS that there is a delay due to a WiFi issue. They will not be getting them until the last week of December or early January.

I told this rep how disappointed I was with the assurance of a delivery date this week. Like any, he just said "I am sorry for the inconvenience, would you like to cancel your order?"

Anyways, pretty much ruined my day/week/vacation. Enjoy
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Gack. So maybe the Engadget story is true after all.

ASUS really needs to get some kind of official word out there. This is getting stupid (okay, it was already stupid; now it's just getting ridiculous).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Ouch. That sucks. Come on Gamestop. Let's hold it together. I'll take a semi-defective unit at this point. LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
I think that will be an interesting question. If Gamestop still releases, are they releasing units with sub-par Wifi?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
I'm going to guess that Asus identified the problem 2-3 weeks ago, immediately pushed out ship dates for all online & non-essential outlets, and consolidated the trickle of "fixed" or "verified good" tablets to target Gamestop & Best Buy as those are their largest retail partners in the US.

If there is one rule for OEMs/Distributors it is DO NOT screw retail. If GS or BB says "thanks but no thanks" to the next Asus product, Asus is long-term screwed.

Beyond that, Asus almost certainly had to pay for shelf space / demo stations on and running up to 12/19. If they miss their date, they lose all of that money and have to pay again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
X2 on this ... many here do NOT understand the cost of shelf space at a B&M.

Those *will* get units (flawed or not), because the cost of RMA's (if needed or not) is less than the cost they pay to a retailer to have the "shelf".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think this is the grand unifying theory of the Transformer Prime launch so far. It pretty much incorporates all of the information we have so far.

The only thing that could blow this theory apart is if Best Buy and/or Gamestop come out and say they're missing their ship dates because of the wifi issue. Best thing is, we'll know in no more than a week if that's going to happen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oakvnl:
my 64gb order was stated as processing for a few days, then a few days later after that, it says "back-ordered" :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:
Yeah mine too, I pre-ordered on the 7th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
so i bought mine from some dinky little nobodys, are you saying that i won't be getting a good one? one with proper wifi?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fraeone:
Actually the opposite. If you buy it from a dinky nobody it will probably be in Jan or Feb and probably have great wifi.

If you go BB/GS you probably get it on 12/19, and we'll see about the quality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
oh now i understand what you were saying. I wonder if all released models will have wifi issues, and if they do, would it be better to get a broken one and send it in for repairs to ASUS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
I have spoke with a few more customer service reps, but still no date. I will now be notified via phone with any updates from the customer service manager (at Frys) as Asus notifies them of shipment. Needless to say, he has looked over this thread and is going to make sure that we know when Frys will get them, and more importantly ship them out.

Still no information for Prime docks, but that could merely mean they are on the same shipment but haven't been entered into the system yet.

The 14th would have been nice, but I know I will get a Prime that won't have wifi issues.:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] btrcp2000:
i ordered just a few days ago, just last night rec'd my delay email, references "within thirty days" and gives me instrux on how to cancel if I want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oakvnl:
I emailed fry's about pre-order/backorder and ETA a few days ago. I got this response, I wasn't aware it was a delay automated notice.

" Thank you for your order. We apologize but the item(s) you

BUT I got this response today in responding to my email.

"Dear valued Frys.com customer,

Thank you for contacting Frys.com. The automated backorder message you received was sent because you ordered a pre-order item. Unfortunately, our system does not differentiate between a "pre-order" and a "backorder." The order you have made is unavailable for shipping at this time and is expected to ship on the manufacturer's release date. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,

I just wanted to share what kind of communication Im getting from fry's.

I dont know whether its a good or bad thing. Im just anxious.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] btrcp2000:
yep, your first one is what I got, but it came without me asking for it. if i have time i will call tomorrow and see what i get
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blueman101:
Just got off the phone with my local Frys, and they said they plan to have some in stock, in store next week. While I take this with a grain of salt considering the 23rd delay and now the mid-January delay floating around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gonzale20:
I just called Fry's Customer Service and was told according to the system they might be getting a shipment in on Jan 6th.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] prayformojo:
Just got off the phone with Fry's CS. Lady spoke with her manager and informed me that they expect their first shipment in the last week of Dec or first week of Jan. Amazing how these shipping dates hop around so much. Just last tues they swore it was shipping on the 14th. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] optimiss:
I just read on another forum that Fry's said they are getting 80 tablets in the first shipment and that they will arrive on the 8th of January. I hope that isn't the case but I guess it isn't THAT far off. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
I have been calling them every day now, and still getting the same answer (end of December, beginning of January)

I have sent an email to the customer service manager again, and should be hearing back from him tomorrow sometime.

Frys is not looking too promising though:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcrcracer:
Just spoke with CS again, and still no update!!:mad:

Also, it is showing up as backordered on the "Track Your Order" page on Frys.com

I know we are all just anxious to get our TFP, but I am most likely cancelling my pre-order tomorrow, as I won a Champagn edition tab and dock on ebay for $15 dollars more than it would cost from Frys!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonalisa:
Ok, I just called Frys. I was told that the ETA was still "last week Dec/first week Jan."

I said, "Ok, it's just that the tablets are out officially today in some areas and I wanted to check status."

She said, "If you want I can check your order number."

So I gave her my number, she paused and then said "Oh!" - and I thought I was going to get good news. But after a few minutes, she asked if I had just ordered recently. I said yes (12/17) and she said, "well we have some on the way but it looks like you may be in the second round because you just preordered."

So for those who preordered at Fry's early, it sounded like they were gong to get them very soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonalisa:
Called fry's this a.m. I was given the stock answer on being backordered - so I asked, "When I bought this on the 17th i was told it looked like they would come the last week of Dec or first week Jan. Did something change?

So she actually looked and then said, it looks like we are getting some at the end of this month."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] optimiss:
Thanks for the update. Gaaaaahhhhhh I can't stand the waaaiiitttt! At this rate my tablet cover will get here from China before my actual tablet gets here from California.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plowking00:
Losing all hope.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hauj0bb:
Just talked to a rep, and to confirm a post made earlier: they said that they're only getting in 80 to 90 in supposedly by/on the 8th of january. I ordered mine on the 7th of December, and he said that I should get one, but that they had no way to check where I was in line.

He did say that the 80-90 are ONLY for frys.com, and that they'll definitely be getting some in store around that time as well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] fryon1031:
I did the HC upgrade and I transferred a movie file to internal storage yesterday.

I can't do it now for some reason.

I have it set to Default Connection Type to Disk Drive and I have a check mark on Ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC.

When I go to my computer I see 3 removable drives and my flyer is charging too, but I can't transfer files into it!!

I need some help!

Anyone know why? Please save me!

Thing is.. I was able to do it yesterday and pardon my Korean fonts.

I just received and fitted my SGP Flex screen protector so I thought I'd put up a few pictures for those considering it.

i.imgur.com/sSbOB.jpg

i.imgur.com/BwwkO.jpg

i.imgur.com/BSShs.jpg

I can't post images yet.

It was pretty straight forward to fit, a few bubbles under the film that i had to push out though. The surface is slightly grippy. This is my first screen protector (and smartphone) so I'm not able to give a comparison but I'd certainly say it's not as smooth as using the nexus bare.

I'm happy with it but I'll probably try a non spray type in the future to see how it compares.

As you can see the screen protector covers a larger area than the SGP Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic, pretty much right to the edge of the screen before it curves.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on screen clarity and any rainbowing from it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] depths:
Thanks for fixing the links.

Screen clarity is great. The film is not noticeable from the angles you would be using the phone but there are some slight ripples you can see from extreme angles. The second picture I posted shows this.

The film claims to able to heal itself and I have noticed overnight some slight marks (again only visible from the side) I made by pushing air bubbles out with my fingernail have disappeared.

No rain-bowing whatsoever as far as I can tell.

I would guess the film would be crystal clear not anti glare, I can't see it mentioned anywhere. Maybe check the product site.

I purchased from the SGP store (search SGP Flex Galaxy Nexus, sorry still can't post links)

and Paid $50 total with the most expensive shipping to Australia which took 3 days including a weekend.

Hopefully they are ok, I loved the Bodyguardz on my iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remedyz:
Thanks for the pictures and impressions.

This new Flex series seems a lot like Zagg InvisibleShields I had for my Droid X. Depth's pictures show the typical "orange peel" texture that is associated with most wet application screen protectors.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I'm a bit thrown off by the lack of full screen coverage with the Steinheil Oleophobic model. Thus I'm still debating which is the best solution to go with. I inquired about a Ultra Crystal and Optics version for the Galaxy Nexus and Steinheil customer support had no clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
for me, either realook or martin fields for the screen protector and a wet invisi-type protection for the body!

i guess that is one good thing waiting for a bit for the GSM North american versions. by the time we get it, we'll have loads of accesssories to choose from.

but of course i'm an impatient american and want my gnex now, so gonna order next week!!!!

just waiting on the vzw release and see if there is a gsm version coming soon to USA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
Mine arrived today and I was really careful with keeping my phone scratch free. I cleaned it with the cloth and perfect, not a scratch anywhere. I fitted the screen protector and still managed to trap a small speck of dust. Lol.

All in all the fit is great and the casemate tough along with the sgp should keep my phone immaculate for years to come. I would recommend this to anyone as the protector is quite thick but doesn't seem to spoil the display at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
yup same here i used ALL of the solution trying to get the dust out and there is still 1 spec left right near the edge .....but ive seen it and it annoys me lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
What about smudges and fingerprints.. can they be easily wiped off? I ordered mine just now and I hope it won't attract too much of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
With the wet application, does the protector cling to the screen immediately like a dry application, or does it slide around a bit, making for easier aligning?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Yes but For a short time. Of You hands a moist fingers tend to "skip".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Can you comment if it has an orange peel effect? I abhor screen protectors that offer that kind of look. I refuse to put one of those on that screen. I was planning on buying one right now so I will have it the day I get my Nexus on VZW. If you can take a really good picture of the screen to show any kind of effect if any, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
there is not wet application on the planet that doesn't have some form of orange peel.

personally, phantom skinz and armorsuit have little orange peel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vatanatips:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
Does this show up lots of finger prints like the cheapo screen protector I am currently using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dgwood12:
How does this screen protector feel? I've used zagg protectors in the past and did not like the grippy feel those screen protectors had. I use SGP crystal clear on my droid incredible and like how my finger easily slides across the screen with little to no friction. Does your finger tend to stick a bit more when scrolling when using the flex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Clearfreak SP are wet applicants and dont have that orange peel at all, just saying....i dont use SP but I do for my wife's phones and screen is very smooth on touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Thanks for that. I'm going to have to do research for that for the Nexus. I hate the OP effect. I bought the Flex and am waiting till I have my Nexus to install it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheXclusive814:
Hows the screen protector holding up from scratches?

Is the touch smooth like glass or kinda rubbery like a zagg?

I wanna get a protector ordered so I have it ready when the LTE version is released for some protection and then once the otterbox defender goes live, i'll be good to go.

I had the Ultra Crystal on my droid x and loved it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Just installed mine. It's still wet, foggy and full of minor bubbles. Gotta wait for it to dry up.

It feels somewhere in between glass and rubbery (Zagg-like). Not bad at all.

In a few days, I'll know whether it will be as resistant to smudges and fingerprints or not. I guess is fingerprints yes but not smudges.
