I ordered 11/22, have had the unopened dock sitting at home since 12/30 and now I'm done. Order cancelled and dock on its way back. I realize this isn't entirely on Amazon but with all the other nonsense on the Asus front, its time to look elsewhere. For me, a tablet is a 'want' not a 'need' and I've been convinced to look elsewhere.

CES... Show me what you got. I'm hoping to hear something on the Acer A700 - Tegra3 processor, 1920x1200 resolution, faster memory, SIM slot for 3G support, claimed 10 hour battery life and micro USB port rather than a proprietary connector.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
64GB (duh) Champagne Gold from Amazon.

Didn't place the order until 12/27/2011 and the ETA says any time from February 6 - 24. I'm guessing in a couple of weeks they'll give a more narrowed-down estimate that I'll wait for only to be told there'll be more delay lol

I just hope that having waited so long to order it doesn't net me their "fixed" models with GPS removed. I'll go insane if it does.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cloudfish:
Well, like I posted above, it was supposed to be received today (6th). I got the "confirm" email this morning asking if I still wanted it.

I confirmed....

Now there's no delivery estimate.

I, too, will be supremely pissed if there's no GPS at all. I do, however, have the keyboard dock sitting next to me...so far it's a good paperweight....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
I've been intentionally changing the shipping date on my dock so as to push back its delivery so I can get it closer to when I get my tablet, if I decide to keep my orders active
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
Guess I'm going to keep waiting before I order one. Not settling for anything less than the 64gb champagne.

I'm gonna have the patience of Job by the end of this ordeal!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
At this point, if mine comes next week but has no GPS, I'll be ok. I want the damn thing so badly right now, it's annoying. I ordered the 64gb Grey from Amazon and am supposed to receive it at the end of the month. I'm hoping they push it up. I have my phone for GPS. I just want that Prime! :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cloudfish:
Yeah, Wasabi, I can relate. Mostly, lol. It's rare that I get "excited" about a product, but for the Prime I did. After getting my ship date pushed back 4 times now I'm back to an even keel. Now I'm just a bit pensive, because I did expect that working GPS. I will tether if I have to, but where I live Wifi is rare and the holes for cellular service are huge. I don't need GPS for navigation, but I do need it for some of my photography needs and for my gold prospecting. Yes, a standalone is the better answer for some of this, but being able to consolidate data on a large map or for the astronomy apps is huge for me....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
Totally understand, especially being in Wyoming. Where I am in Florida, though, I can't walk fifty yards without running into a wifi signal. And for my purposes (games, web, writing), I don't need GPS. But yes, I felt like a damn kid when this thing was announced. When I finally pulled the trigger in the middle of December, I felt like a kid all over again. I just need it in my hands. Now. Hahaha. It's just really becoming an addiction: checking these threads and Amazon constantly. I need help :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Steve1624:
My order still says 1/11 for delivery it has never changed. I placed my order on 11/22 with Amazon I just hope I get my 64GB on the 11th. I hate looking at my email every 15 min to see if I have some news.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Luminos:
quick go check it again i have to check mine too maybe they updated the ship date or delayed it again or maybe updated or cancelled it oh dam i have to check my email again.......:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] huynhc:
Got my 64gb grey transformer and tried GPS without wifi while picking up dinner. Did not register any satellites on my little ten minute drive. Disappointing but I don't need GPS on my 10inch tablet though as I owned a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 previously and never used it. Hope everyone gets their prime soon!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
So.... just got off the phone w/ Amazon for the sixth time today (literally) and after explaining that my order has a estimated delivery of Jan. 9th, which is a Monday, that i have yet to receive any shipping notification for my order. As Amazon rarely ships on the weekend, I kindly asked how my order would get to me by the 9th, if it hasn't shipped yet?

After putting me on hold for 10 mins. the lady from far far away land said that the item appears to be at the distributor, and that she can assure me that I should have the item by the 9th.

I asked how this was possible, since it hasn't shipped yet, and more over, does the distributor mean the manufacture or a Amazon warehouse??? She again, in broken English, told me that I will have my package by the 9th, and that the item should leave the distributor by the 9th and I will receive my order... At this point I was like, wait what??? It will leave the distributor on the 9th and get to me on the 9th?? So you mean I may receive it on the 10th? This quantum physics paradox proved to much for her, and she promptly repeated what she had previously said, "I can assure you, you will have the order by the 9th."

I was finally told that if for some reason I did not get my order by the 9th, I could call back, and at which time, I may be able to get reimbursed for the 1 day shipping cost (which mind you is $3.99, since I'm a prime member). I didn't want to make her head explode by telling her I had already received free 1 day shipping, so I said thank you and hung up.

I think it's time for call number 7... :)

Oh, by the way, the 64gb version is no longer on the Amazon page, and Amazon is not listed as a seller currently on the page either. And all 32 gb versions, being sold by 3rd parties are going for $600+
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
What happened to all the people with Jan. 6th dates? I haven't seen anyone post about receiving their primes today from amazon. Have any of you talked to amazon?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cloudfish:
Mine was supposed to come today. Instead I got an email this morning wanting me to "confirm" that I still indeed want the unit. I confirmed, and now my order says:

"We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time.

Not yet shipped."

Frickin' figures.... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Go back a couple of pages in this thread. A few of us got the "do you still want it?" email, but nobody who had an Amazon 1/6/2012 ETA has said they've gotten it yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
Thanks, I was hoping the information i got from a CSR a few days ago about them only getting 94 grey 64gb primes on the 10th-12th was incorrect but it's not looking to good. I ordered pretty early in the morning on the 23rd so I'm sure if she was right I'll be waiting on a shipment after next weeks. Guess I'll find out soon enough. Only good thing about this is CES is next week. If my prime arrived before Christmas like it was supposed to I wouldn't be bothered so much by the new tablets being announced. But, Personally I would have been kicking myself if The prime shipped just a few days before something at CES was announced that I wouldn't mind waiting a few months for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yeah, I'm getting a little frustrated too... I'm glad that CES is almost here, and I'm dying to see what tablets are coming out, but... I've got to stick with my original choice and go with the Prime. Yeah, the Acer A700 looks awesome, and I could wait for that if it comes out in March as expected, but then I'd be like hell, might as well wait another couple of months for the Google Tablet or new Galaxy tab. Next thing you know, it's summer, and I still don't have a tablet. I've been waiting for the Prime since August, every since I herd quad-core tablets would be released in the 4th quarter of last year. I originally passed on the Galaxy 10.1 tablet for this reason... why buy a dual core, when the quad cores are only 3 months out. The insanity has to stop somewhere!!!!:eek:

Therefore, I'm sticking it out with my original choice, the Prime.... but I might have to upgrade to the Google tablet or new Samsung tablet by the end of the summer; will have to wait and see. Tell you what though, once my Prime does arrive, I'll be good to go, as I already got the dock, a sleeve and anti-glare covers will be here next week. :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
Yeah, sounds like your a little more invested than I am with the prime. I know there will always be something better around the corner. I can deal with knowing a $600 device will be overshadowed by better products within a few months. but I personally wont drop that kind of cash having actually seen the better products coming out. not unless its something I need and not something I'm just picking up to kill 12 hour night shifts at work with games and movies. ( have a hard time sleeping unlike most other people I work with.)

Oh, and I just received my "would you like to keep this order open" email from amazon.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
Haha, man I could've written your post word for word! I've been doing the exact same thing. Glad to know I'm not the only one that's been waiting for quad core since it was announced forever ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Well, looks like we're all in the same boat... got my do you want to continue your order email this morning as well. Now my delivery estimate says we'll let you know. Knew I'd get it sooner or later. Guess I can't really be to mad at Amazon... I mean they can't sell something they don't have, and thats more on Asus than Amazon... just wish they would have never gave me a delivery date in the first place. Better to never have hope, than to have it and then have it taken away.

Oh well, now the waiting game begins. One thing every single Amazon rep did tell me yesterday was that once they receive stock, they will distribute on a first come first serve basis... or in our case, first pre-order basis. Hopefully they get something in within a week or two; looks like they are getting more 32 gbs in next week.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Luminos:
Shipment #1: Shipping Soon	who hoo and they have charged my card !! it's on it's way
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
The most irritating thing is that I really didn't care that much about 32gb vs 64gb, or grey vs. gold. I would have been happy with a 32gb one, or a gold one, but I went with the 64gb grey. Seems like the 32gb ones have been going out for a while, and now the 64gb golds are going out. I couldn't have possibly made a worse color/size choice. Sigh....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Steve1624:
I agree with you 100% I ordered the 64GB grey on 11/22 from Amazon and I'm still waiting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dtown1999:
What's up everyone this is my first post here but i've been stalking this site and others every since I pre ordered A 64GB champagne Transformer Prime from Amazon. I was on the verge of canceling my order if it didn't ship by the 11th but it finally did minutes ago.

Ordered on the 22nd of Nov with a final shipping date of Jan 11th. Shipped Jan 7th new delivery date Monday Jan 9th and it better be here lol. :cool:

copy and paste from the first thread I posted in.

Just got an email saying my 64gb champagne from amazon has been shipped and will be here monday(9th) via 1day shipping. got the tracking number! o man what a good good day!!!! sorry if posted already.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cloudfish:
I saw these posts today and was hopeful. The only email I got from

Amazon today was for a sale on swimsuits and shorts. It's 20 degrees here...I think not.... :p

I think I'm going to wear out the "Send/Receive" button on my email program. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Hopefully the swimsuits don't have wifi issues... The one small glimmer of hope that I gather from the 64gb gold ones getting shipped from Amazon is the fact that it was sort of out of nowhere. Seems pretty likely that they have no idea when they're getting these things in, so it's possible that the gray ones could come in on Monday and I'd get mine next week. Of course it's possible that they could come in March too...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
Well dang it! I was about to order one from amazon, but they don't have the 64geebee up anymore! wth...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Luminos:
mine is a gold and has shipped have tracking info will be here monday ordered on the 22nd of nov finally on its way
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1Jester1:
Holy hell, I had given up hope until I was randomly checking the forum and got the email... Mine was shipped Jan 7, set to arrive on Tuesday!

Champagne Gold, 64gb. No word on the dock yet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Well the "Amazon Shipping Soon" thread has two people saying that they ordered the 64gb gray from Amazon and are getting it this week. No email yet for me. My glass half full side is thinking "With other people getting notified about theirs, mine can't be far behind!" My glass half empty side is thinking "If they had enough to send me mine, I would have been notified by now. I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for the next batch."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Paleogirl2003:
64gb gray

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
I'm with you. When did you order?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Nov 22, late afternoon/evening. I had changed my shipping to one day on the 23rd though, and I've heard different things from Amazon on what that does to your place in line.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
Oh, jeez. Nevermind. I ordered the 19th of Dec. Looks like I'll be waiting a looooooong while for mine. Damn. That sucks. Good luck! Hope you get good news soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dtown1999:
My 64GB champagne prime from amazon has Finally arrived. However I am a little disturbed that fedex decided to leave my $616 investment on my porch.. in Detroit:confused: . luckily I was up and heard the truck pull up but as I walked to the door I seen him pull off so I thought he just left with my prime without knocking. The unit is cold so I am going to let it warm for a min before turning it on before I go in for work tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dipolarylide:
Well B&H completely failed. I can't say it was all their fault, but I feel they could have done a lot more that they obviously didn't do.

I ordered from BJ's Wholesale (no a member) on Jan. 7th. I got a tracking number today, and it says it should be here Wednesday. After this long wait, I am going to check this thing over to make sure there are absolutely NO defects. Honestly, as long as FedEx does not drop the box (much) I am not worried. I will cancel my B&H order as soon as I see the tablet is at my local distributions center (Tues. night probably).

Good luck everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
When did you order from B&H? And which color?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dipolarylide:
I had 64GB, Grey, 11/28 12:30AM EST. Good luck getting yours

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Luminos:
64 gb champagne gold ordered 11/22 from amazon they are shipping!!!!

In My Hands Now:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Steve1624:
Amazon conversation. The CSR didn't know anything I just hope I get my prime that I ordered on 11/22 this week.

Noelia:Hello Steven, I'm Noelia. How are you doing today?

Me:good thanks

I want to confirm a 1/11 ship date on my ASUS prime 64GB order.

Noelia:Glad to hear that! Let me check you order for a second.

Yes, the estimated delivery date for that order shows up as January 11.

Me:So you have stock or will have stock to deliver on time?

Noelia:I'm not able to know if we have them in the stock already, but since the estimated delivery date has been issued, I think is because they are ready to be shipped.

Me:I've had that date for 5 weeks that is why i'm checking.

Noelia:I understand Michael, I'm sorry you are having this experience with your tablet. What we can do is that, if after January 11 you have not received the tablet, we can issue a refund for the shipping costs.

I will make the annotations here on your account.

Me:Thank you by the way my name is Steve. I will wait until then.

Noelia:I'm very sorry Steven! Really! I apologize for that!

You are welcome! I hope you have a great week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rosco64209:
Got mine (64gb gold) at around 3 eastern time from amazon delivered by fed ex also. Fedex guy knocked on door and handed it to me no signature nor did he ask if i was the reciever. The box could of easliy been broken in to. Its here so i cant complain. Lovin it! Hope everyone gets theres soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stephen44:
got my 64GB grey from amazon today - already have the dock - so 3 hours time and I'll get the ICS update...then i have to decide if to keep this one or return and wait for the new model in Q2.

From what I have seen so far - really nice - I have a galaxy nexus and hope that ICS is as nice on this as it is on the phone - then it will be amazing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cloudfish:
So I'm finding I'm getting a little impatient waiting...and waiting. :rolleyes:

I decided to ask Amazon again about the status. This whole exchange took about 25 minutes, but I have hope....

Generally I'm very polite and do the dance with the amenities, but I worked all night, am tired, and I was trying to get to the point. The first line is the "subject" line after entering in the order number.

You are now connected to RAJ from Amazon.com.

Me:I need to know when this is going to ship.

RAJ:Hello, my name is Raj. I'll be happy to help you.

Me:I've had this on order since 11/22. It was scheduled for delivery by 1/9. Then I got email to "confirm" order, which I did, and the shipping date changed to unknown. When can I expect this?

RAJ:As the item you have order is out of stock, It will be shipped once the item comes in stock.

Me:Others who ordered on the same date are receiving theirs---do you have no idea when it'll be in stock?

RAJ:We are expecting it within 2-3 business days.

Me:Excellent, thank you. Can I assume that my order will be fulfilled with this shipment?

RAJ:Yes, we will definitely it will be fulfilled.

Me:Ok thanks. I appreciate your time.

RAJ:You are welcome!

Thanks for visiting Amazon.com. We hope to see you again soon!

Bye.

Me:Have a good day, Raj.​
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Godswrath:
Lol!

Good luck getting your order soon! I'm waiting also

Ordered 12/26 and estimated delivery has been "updated" to "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Steve1624:
I got that update thos morning

"We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
I ordered mine on 12/19. Mine still says Jan 24-Feb7 for delivery. Just got done chatting with Amazon and asked if I might expect it a little earlier. Unfortunately, it looks as though it will probably be another few weeks before mine goes out. I'm going to start chatting and calling every day to see if I can bug them enough to send it to me early :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vonslydog:
Being one of the ones who ordered on November 22 and still hasn't received mine yet, I respectfully hope that you fail. At least until after mine comes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ludikhris:
Wanted to add here that I received my 64gb grey yesterday (it shipped SAT). The wifi issue doesn't seem present though there is some minor light bleed on it. Nothing probably worth sending it back for as it goes away the second anything but black is on the screen.

Regarding WiFi this performs as good as any other device I own, and better than several i own (I'm looking at you netbook and PSP).

I'm pretty happy with it so far, updated to ICS last night and it works well.

Ordered 11/22 between noon-3pm Pacific time.

Hope that helps, and I hope anyone watching this thread gets theirs soon. I'm enjoying mine quite a bit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
Um, ok, jerk. Whatever. :mad:

;) I do hope that everyone who ordered before me actually receives the Prime (or at least has the item out for delivery) before I get mine. But, I reeeeaally hope that you all get yours reeeeally soon so mine will be up next to get to me so I can start enjoying this beast! :D I just figured that bugging Amazon can't hurt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Luminos:
received ICS update today Loving it hope you all get yours soon... now to find the dock

:p
