[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrsalda:
it means no Christmas gift for me. Now seriously I just got a "friendly" email from Best buy explaining me my order has been backordered, I'm cancelling right now(a $650 order with dock), 2-3 more weeks waiting is totally unacceptable, I pre-ordered mine on November 23th, by the time tf201 is out, it will be only 2 weeks away from ipad 3 release, and there won't be any guarantees asus will deliver on time, it may be another delay. I will better wait for apple 3(already have an ipad 2 and tf101), so long asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rdenis:
Thanks, the more pre-orders that cancelled, the sooner I get mine!

iPad 3 isn't coming out in late January.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] radar5:
i got the same email :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I am in the same boat. This was the sole gift for my 7 year old Autistic son.

I can understand the supply issues with a preorder product. However, I was in contact with Best Buy every day and, although each rep had a different story, all we ensuring me that I would get this by Christmas and that there were no problems with the order getting filled. Then, of course, they backorder the thing on the VERY LAST FULL SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR. Now most places are bare, will not be getting more shipments and a very unlikelihood of being able to order anything online for the holiday. To butter it up, Besy Buy reps have not made any offer to make good on this screw up. At least Gamestop and Amazon gave out credits.

I am going to be calling to make a huge stink today. I am not cancelling until I have the product from somewhere else, but I am going to spread the same holiday cheer they have with me.

By the way, feel free to contact the corporate offices and the CEO to send your holiday wishes as well:

Feb at the earliest.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kungpu:
Have you ever once considered that it is asus who is giving you the shaft? Seriously, they've pushed back the release date over and over and still have never given a solid date that it will be released. I'm sure BB wants to make money, they are not delaying orders just to piss people off here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Has anyone considered that no one is giving anyone the shaft, that crap sometimes happens that corporations cannot foresee? I think asus cannot keep up with the demand, and Best Buy probably had way to many people order. Granted the communication has been horrible, from every company dealing with this. I am in the same boat as you guys, waiting for it, but I do not believe that anyone set out to do this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
It's more that they should've informed their customers that Asus is being stupid. Of course they said the 18th was just an ETA, but I was told countless times that there is no reason to believe it won't be shipping on that date. I had one guy tell me it had shipped to UPS and should get a shipping confirmation soon. All of that is unacceptable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brlowe:
Remember the last 2 ipads re announced in Feb and did not ship until April. I would guess this one will be no different. Good luck getting one in February.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Best Buy is responsible for fulling orders. If they did not have stock then they should not have been taking pre-orders. Other vendors did this, so Best Buy should be able to do it too. There's other things like maybe letting people know sooner their order would not be fulfilled.

I expect a retailer to be able to count.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] calin75:
I agree. Best Buy is the one that changed the dock's shipping date from 12/31 to 12/19. They could have send an email in advance about the delay issue. Now I won't have a Christmas present due to this "Primegate" fiasco.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cooper1010:
Primegate®

stolen. she's mine now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mgymnop:
They did the same with the delayed release of the Thunderbolt. They are incompetent. I was giving them a second chance but now I am fed up with them. I canceled and ordered with Amazon again. I save Tax and shipping that way. When I have to wait until the new year then I want at least the best deal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Asus' CEO publically said "November" for release. Then Asus said "12/9." Then Asus said "12/19." Then Asus said "the week of 12/19." They'll make their last commitment but by sending far fewer units to far fewer resllers then they originally planned. The Galaxy Nexus was a highly anticipated device for VZW. They didn't officially launch it until their was enough inventory in the pipeline (stores, VZW.com, resellers) so that people looking for it didn't have to pull their hair out. Something happened that screwed up Asus' ability to honor their original commitments to resellers. Since they're a public company, they will have forecast "x" amount of Prime sales in 2011. We'll see when they file their Q4 earnings report how badly they missed their earlier projections. Bottom line is they rushed the product to be first to market with Teg3, encountered issues and had no slack in their timeline to deal with them, and are claiming victory by eeking out a small quantity of product this year.

Totally not true. BB, like Amazon, was told by Asus how much initial inventory they'd be receiving and what the flow would be subsequently. They sold pre-orders based on those commitments. Asus botched the commitment causing both BB and Amazon to have to cancel or back-order customer orders. Amazon deserves props for getting the message out early and at least giving their customers an option to find a "plan B."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strikethreeout:
This happened last time. I'm really not sure what the exact cause of it is but it seems like their production/supply chain/delivery process is unreliable.

You would think they would have learned something the first time...

Honestly, a delay wouldn't be too bad. But, they have to be public about it -- not leave customers in the dark. This whole time they're trying to market this thing by giving it away on facebook but people who actually want to buy the thing, can't. Where is Asus's official message about these botched commitments? Asus isn't as big as some companies but it isn't a small company either; they should have said something by now. You limit the damage by being upfront with your customers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
As an update, I called and gave the rep a hard time expressing my opinion that Best Buy needed to make some attempt to make good. Finally after asking for free next day shipping and some sort of compensation for not getting anything for christmas, I was told they could not credit the order, but got an "issue number" to call back after it ships to get reimbursed for the shipping cost. Also they are sending me a $25 gift card.

It sucks to have to ask for this. I told them that upgrading the shipping was in their best interest because if I find it somewhere else they lose a sale. Of course, after they changed the order my status went from backordered to order in process, but I am sure this will revert back and was only because the order was changed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You're spot on. I've seen Asus' CEO speak and he's a bit of a character. His ego's also as big as a house. I'm guessing instead of letting the product drive the timeline he mandated the reverse. Product management's reported to me and this consequence is what happens when dates become more important then quality - in either the product or roll-out. Nine women can't have a baby in a month.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GCurry:
I think you're right. I think it's partly cause their CEO's a cowboy. I think the other part is that Asus made a strategic decision to be big in tablets (unlike, say, Acer, whose support is half-hearted). Asus wanted to be technology leader, in hardware, and OS, but had to hit the window before iPad 3 was released. So the CEO pushed, and drove the organization to the point where, as you say, dates drove the product, rather than conversely.

I for one, appreciate the strategic decision, and that emphasis is why I decided to return my Acer A500, and just wait for the Asus TF. I understand bleeding edge, vs leading edge, and pre-ordered one from BB on 12/4. So I got the 2 week wait email also. I was hoping for "on-time" delivery, but would have been surprised had it arrived before Christmas. So now it's a matter of managing my "wants" more than cursing BB.

That doesn't stop me from disliking BB's pre-order and order management practices. I doubt I'll online order from them again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I've had a few issues with them on some stuff but I had no idea how disjointed their order and dispatch systems were until the Prime incident(s). You'd think that after the death of CompUSA and Circuit City they'd have made some investments in their infrastructure. They managed this process far worse than some much smaller resellers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyberguest:
and they promised it won't happen again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chpimentelpr:
jajaja, agree!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrsalda:
Yesterday I Called Best buy twice and being told it's asus fault, asus didn't shipped as many units as they promised!, can you believe that? I don't care they are still responsible to fulfill my order. They told me as well, a compensation of some type will come to me, I hope is not a $10 gift card. Also they advised me to check my order status online in 1-2 days, to see if any changes has been made to my order. I'm going to wait a couple of days before canceling, maybe a miracle can happen?

who knows..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jrsalda:
I've been calling them on a daily basis, and they actually hanged up the phone twice yesterday, happened when gave them my order number and politely explained my situation. Today I got an email from BB, saying they couldn't get enough tf201 units to supply demand?. who cares! where is my compensation? they offered me one in case they cannot fulfill my order on time by Christmas, I guess they are still waiting to get more units for this holiday season. Who knows...!! I'm really pissed now...

Several things. First, as stated above, plz upload this to multiupload. Even after entering the captias, I've tried twice to download this file with no success either time it stops after 10-20 mb. Anyone else with this problem? Second, I've noticed all the ROMS that include 1080p video recording make it a point to put a screen shot of it or something or act like it's a big deal, then you download the ROM and you click 1080p recording option. And you start recording a video, and it's choppy as hell. Is 1080p choppy on this one as well or no?

edit: guess what, can only try 2-3 times to download it before it kicks you off for 2 hours and you cant try again to download the file. Uggh.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
So us AT&T guys and gals what will you do with your beloved SGS2 when the SGS3 arrives? I mean we are hearing 12 Mpx camera and quad core with possible 4.5 inch screen

well well, MWC is the announcement like I stated earlier.

http://www.bgr.com/2011/12/28/quad-core-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-to-be-unveiled-at-mwc-2012/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jirv311:
When is the SGS3 being released? My guess is not for quite a while since the GS2 is so popular with all the carriers. For me it doesn't matter as this phone is more than fast enough. And I judge fast by experiencing no lag when opening apps.

A multi core processor, like those in a desktop, really only make a difference in apps that can utilize all cores. I may be wrong but I'm guessing it might be a bit before most apps will.

Besides the SGS2 screen is about as big as I would go on a phone display. 4.5" is getting closer to a small tablet. Also for me, I rarely use the phone's camera for pictures that matter so it doesn't matter much for me.

Sorry, that was one downer of a post. I must still be bitter after my Broncos loss yesterday. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
From an xda/dev community perspective i don't think it'll be affected to much. Look at the GSII predecessor, I9000/captivate. Those forums are still going strong with plenty of devs. The captivate already has Ics running pretty smoothly with CM9 alpha! By the time the GSIII comes out, our phones will have some amazing roms with little to no issues(we already have a few).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:
I had an iPhone 3g from January 2008 until September 2011. Now I have this phone. Going back to my 3g gave me a very slow experience.

If I can use another phone, and come back to the SGSII and if feels slow, then I'll upgrade.

In other words, ill be here awhile B)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:

Assuming my SGS2 is still running fine I won't do anything when the next one comes out. If it ain't broke don't fix it:-) . I was on an iPhone 3g before this, main reason I upgraded was because my iPhone was so laggy I could barely use it. (well that and I was sick of iOS)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
No way are they gonna release sgs3 q1 2012. I read somewhere, can't remember where, that the a15 processor they are releasing with the sgs3 won't even be ready till q3 2012, which means it'll probably be around the end of summer 2012.

From what i can make out of the screen shot it says it has 2gb RAM, 12 mp camera, 2 ghz exynos 5250, and a 4.6 in HD Super AMOLED + display... I may marry this damn phone. :p

heres a lil teaser... lol :cool: http://www.techradar.com/images/zoom/samsung-galaxy-s3-1033039/index1 and heres a piece on the Exynos that'll be in the gs3... http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-to-be-powered-by-2ghz-dual-core-chip-1044595 WAIT!! HOLD THE PHONES!!! QUAD CORE BABY!!! (which would make sense considering HTC already announced a wuad core device) http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...alaxy-s3-to-be-quad-core-mind-blower--1042710
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] \/icious:
Sales of the GS2 are doing to well to warrant a release of a new model in February especially with the recent release of the skyrocket. The only speculation I've seen from any site is second half of next year. I doubt it will have quad core as well as they have much faster dual core up their sleeves. i think quad core is going to be overkill until they can milk the dual core architecture
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
htc is releasing a phone jaunary/february 2012, the HTC Ville, which will be quad core, theres no way samsung is gonna allow their flagship to go out spec'd, a dual core qualcomm to an exynos is one thing, BUT, if samsung does go dual core, i dont care how fast their dual core exynos is, it wont be faster then a quad core processor. Period. and they already have the exynos 4412 which is quad core. heres an article on it, unlike a lot of xda members, I research and dont just talk out of my opinionated ass. http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-rumored-to-use-quad-core-exynos-4412-34170/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
Exactly! Also if you follow the release of the galaxy line its always Feb internationally and august summer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
Besides we have to realize by February the gs2 will be a year old international version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] \/icious:
A few mistakes i think. Correct me if im wrong

1. The HTC Edge is the phone think youre refering to as the ville is reported to be a dual core. I have not seen anything suggesting that the Edge will come out sooner than End Q1/ Early Q2 which is why i jumped on the GS2

2. I thought the GS2 was initially released in April not February.

3. Im not familiar with android and its apps coding but ive have indeed done searching to see if it could actually take advantage of quad core. I found little info but what i did find suggested it that it currently doesnt really stress dual core phone enough to suggest much of an improvement jumping to quad core. Developers could probably shed light on this and i would love their feed back. Ive been meaning to make a thread on this.

4. You are right a quad core will beat a dual core but only in an enviornment that would take advantage of 4 threads. If these android device are not going to really use the 2 extra threads then mhz and cache are going tdo be the things to improve on. I dont want quad corw if its going drain the **** out of my battery for minimal peformance gains.

Samsung is claiming that thier 2ghz 5250 is twice as fast as their 1.5ghz dual A9 core offerings which sounds like more power than these phone are going to use. Unless these higher res screen are ggoing to make that big of an impact and thats really gpu side performance .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
OP, you left out 2 crucial details- for one, how much will it run us/will ATT get in AND will they butcher it (like Skyrocket came to be) or not? I honestly feel we struck insane luck w/ GS2 being left mostly untouched and I don't forsee this happening again anytime soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
well from what i have been told all Galaxy S phones will be left almost untouched from SGS2 forward. The agreement seems to be as long as its galaxy S it stays almost untouched. The captivate previous and skyrocket are variants not SGS therefore the mostly at&t differentiation. The SGS3 will follow like the SGS2, ps the Galaxy Nexus is coming to AT&T in February http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/google/android/galaxy-nexus-coming-to-att-in-february/

Everyone, try to put as many fingers as you want, when the screen is off, then you will notice that the other finger will not be affected, even multitouch is going to work!!! Perfect touchscreen, even with 5 fingers on the screen!!

Conclusion: the problem is 100% the software, the touchscreen driver!!! The screen can take as many fingers as you want!!!

We have 2 options:

Try to understand what I wrote (ask me for questions) and try to do something.

Beg LG for the driver that will get the most of our screens!

I saw a friend, he got an Optimus Sol, and I tried to play on fruit ninja to test it's multitouch. I was like --insert horror meme here--!!

It had 5 fingers working, no glitch...
