I thought you were going to be one of those people who seem to WANT to see something wrong with theirs, so they can have something to complain about. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Actually if you buy a car for $500 you will probably just get a windshield. lol. But yea I agree. $500 is a lot of money. At least for me. So I expect 100% as described. Plus any issue could possibly affect resale value later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scoobrel:
lol, its the total opposite, i want it to be perfect. So far its good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RowdyBoss:
They finally arrived! Charging both already. Now just gotta wait till the 11th for GS to get my docks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goboltz805:
Finally arrived! shipped in a damn plastic bag!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Comparable pricing of course, 500 is the full price for this, when I purchased my suburban I paid full price, it had a tear in the leather under the seat (I am a pain in the ass I check everything) and I made them replace it, not fix it, but replace it, it should be new, not almost perfect.

Just called BB and we have 14 days from day of delivery to return for any reason and no restocking fee.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
Any damage to the box or ATP?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cookst:
I ordered mine on the 26th at about 6:20 AM Central time. I just received the email saying that it has shipped via UPS. Of course, UPS doesn't show anything yet, but I'll be watching over the next couple days to see what it says for estimated delivery to TN with the free shipping.

I ordered mine from Best Buy today right around the time that nowinstock shows they last had them in stock and the order tracking just says being fulfilled and "usually ships in null-null days". Does the null mean I might have just missed it or could it just be because they are now out of stock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
I am in Europe so even though it shipped I wont see it till next week or later. Oh well atleast it is shipped now!

Nvidia always!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmac5454:
Can't say... ordered mine right around 1:35 PM EST when I received the text from nowinstock and mine still shows: "Usually ships in 0-1 days"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Thanks for the info. Man you need to spend $2500 in a year to reach silver.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeDaddy0710:
Scratch that. Just checked and it now says backordered. Hopefully they will get some more tomorrow or Friday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goboltz805:
one little smash on one corner of box, nothing big. TP is in perfect condition, no dents scratches or dings. Looks like UPS treated it right. No light bleed, yellow screen, wi-fi issues to speak of yet. Screen looks awesome! Snappy as hell! When I activated my google account on it the restore box was checked so it loaded with the halloween wallpaper i had on my galaxy tab 10.1 before I took it back and downloaded all the apps i had. Funny thing is I don't even remember backing the tab up! Definitely noticed the quickness when the apps downloaded. I don't want to get too much into it now though because i want to get 100% battery first, it came with 43%. I'll update later.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Add me to the list of happy owners.

Just received mine after the UPS guy literally tossed it at the door, heard the thunk and he was running down the drive, he got an ear full of expletives from me.

No charge on it so it is now charging.

Purchased 23rd at 2:30 PST.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
Anyone who ordered this passed weekend still waiting for their package to be picked up? Mine seems to be stuck at label printed status.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Mine was stuck like that all day yesterday. But it changed in the evening.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keatre:
Yeah - received tracking number 2 days ago, but still stuck with just shipping label. Free shipping. I'm hoping it will roll over tonight/tomorrow morning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
I would have chased him down lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
Ordered mine today about 1:00 central after receiving the email alert from nowinstock. The email confirmation says "Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 1/4 -1/9". But my Best Buy order details page shows Order Status: 1 item backordered. Fingers crossed I placed my order in time!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KGB-SPY:
Available Now!!!

Back in stock, hurry! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brokenartist:
I want to order this but I really really really want the 64 gig
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
just get the 32GB microSD card, then you have 64GB. That's what I'm doing. Someone posted a link from dailysteals that had a Sandisk microSD 32GB card for $19.99 , I swooped on that fast. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KGB-SPY:
Just go for it

Me too, I pre-order 2 64GB from Amazon, then I saw 32GB available from BB and I jump on it :D, I rather have one now (on its way) then wait forever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Took my broken one (no gps and the charging cable literally fell apart and would no longer register data connection to the pc) back to BB and exchanged it for an ipad2 thinking I would have to wait a month before the Prime becomes available again.

Then bam, I get an alert...so I went ahead and ordered another one. With free shipping it gives me a week or so to play around with the iPad (my first hands on experience with it) and decide which I want to keep. Assuming the new Prime comes in fully functional all should be well, at least I hope so...because as scary as it sounds, even to myself, I'm kinda digging the iPad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
ipads run really smooth thats about it, their specs are pretty awful, if you are ever thinking of actually gaming or doing some thing that is going to task you processor you want the prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
if I was in your shoes and had issues with the Prime and returned it to BB I would have got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tformed:
Tablet seems great thus far, only thing that is not working at is GPS. Screen looks great..the 1 stuck pixel is only visible when the screen is black (you need to look for that pixel)...so it's not bugging me. There is no light leakage thus far, sound is good.

I've played a 1080p movie using the stock media player, runs perfectly fine (no lag or stutter).

Wi-fi appears a bit slow, file transfer speed between PC and tablet is the same as the TF101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I actually played around with a display model today in BB while waiting on the exchange, but it didn't really do much for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the plastic construction and it felt a bit sluggish. Besides, if I'm going to be paying virtually the same amount of $$ for a product might as well get one that will play better games and can handle 1080p movies.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Unfortunately, my experience with the Prime seems to be much more different than yours. Mine came in at about 75% functionality (dead GPS weak wifi) and some obvious QC issues. Had some light bleeding at the bottom. Couldn't handle HBO Go (looked like garbage) and as much as I hate to say it, iPad beats the pants off the Prime in the gaming department..in both the quantity and quality of games.

But the Pad is obviously not without flaws (not anything wrong with the product, just personal preference). Needs an adapter for EVERYTHING that prime has the "potential (if functioning)" to do bone stock: more internal storage, SD expansion, HDMI out, and lack of BT. Also not a huge fan of the UI layout just as I want with MIUI (which has more function than stock iOS). But as far as software, this thing is hard to match (streaming, games...lots of games, media consumption galore)...but they try to charge you for everything, and most games try to push in-app purchasing.

Overall, I really want to stick with Android, but damn is this Prime cluster-frak and iPad making it hard to do. Must resist...lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the same specs as the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and Acer Icona

iPad 2 doesn't even have a HD display it outputs at 1024x768, you're talking 1080p movies but that res is not even 720p (1280x800).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] makamobile:
keep watching best buy i just order one and they are out of stock again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeDaddy0710:
My order from today at Best Buy is back on track and should ship by tomorrow. They are back in stock at Best Buy. Get em while you can. I hope the docks aren't too far behind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cykotix:
Just placed my order now. Says In Process and ships 0-1 business days. Expected 1/4-1/9.

Shipping Label printed or actual movement at ups?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] conquereddroiduser:
Well after such a big hassle, I'm pretty relieved to finally have my prime. Best buy came through after all! Ordered grey on Friday with expidited shipping, and arrived today at 3pm. No hardware issues so far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soccerdude288:
actual movement at ups! free shipping! i just live pretty close to california thats why itll be here so soon :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
Im in cali but no movement yet :eek:! Hope something happens tonight :( The wait is killing me!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ViralCipher:
Just got movement from UPS. Ordered mine on Saturday 12/24 with free shipping. Though being in Florida I live on the Ease Coast, so the estimated delivery is 1/5. Oh, well better than the other preorder I had that wasn't expected till February! :)

Best Buy Link is LIVE

link is live for ordering. Can't search for it on the site, but this link is live

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
WTF is Best Buy doing? I ordered one from them today earlier and my order is listed as back ordered and will ship within the next 1-2 weeks.

I should try ordering another one but select faster shipping and see what happens. If they ship that one first I should call and ***** them out as it would not surprise me in the least if they are shipping out to people who are paying for expensive shipping.

Edit - After having my little rant I checked the status again and it says ships in 0-1 days. However, the only email I have received so far stated back ordered with 1-2 week expected shipping. Not sure what's up. I'll believe it when I actually have a tracking number. One new thing is I cannot cancel my order any more which according to their little popup helper thing means it is too far along in the shipping process to be canceled.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeshmoo:
My order finally emerged from shipping limbo this evening! ...and despite having express shipping is now coming to the east coast via ground. What a freaking fail.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] generositus:
my shipping number finally updated, apparently it's going to take until the 3rd to get here :( took them two days to even get it out the door.

better late than never I suppose, a bit worried about the extended time it'll take to ship with the horrible way it looks like best buy is packaging these.

Not exactly true if you are a Premier Silver member

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ka911:
No more in stock! I have a problem with my Prime screen and I contact them (BB) to exchange it with another one but they told me that they don't have them any more and they don't know when they will receive new shipment! :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
This has been a total mess with BB and while I don't blame their CSR, I do blame poor communication TO them. When we know more than they do....it's a problem. The link above is legit. And as we've seen over the past week, when BB is allowing customers to put the tablet in a cart and order it, then they may not have it in stock now, they will have it in stock SOON.

Of course I would never try to presume what kind of situation someone might be in, but if possible, you might try to order another one and just return the one you have.

I'll use the link and see how far I can get with an order before final to see what the shipping date is......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
The Prime might not be 1080p, but my TV is...and 1280x800 is actually bigger than 720p (1280x720).

Furthermore, I wasn't comparing Ipad to Android tablets when talking about resolutions and HD movies. I was talking about the Gtab as an alternative to the Prime. Gtab costs $50 more (32Gb model) than the Prime, has an older processor, can't handle 1080p, has no SD card and its plastic construction just does not appeal to me (personal preference). All that combined and the Gtab just doesn't look like a suitable alternative to the Prime for me. The only upside to the Gtab i can see is that it has a working GPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Oh yea, they are in stock. Looks like maybe (??) they are getting a shipment tomorrow. The CSR rep appears to be wrong, talk to a Supervisor, tell them to look at their internal ordering system, not the BB.com, they wont be able to find it by using the sku, they will have to go to their internal ordering system, blah blah blah. Took me two hours. Good luck, you'll get there.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Uggghhhh. Just when I've decided to go Ipad 2, I saw this link and for giggles clicked and it was available to order. So, I did. I think this will be a great product especially with the camera. My wife is going to kill me. I have to hurry and sell my Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus that I just bought. I figure I have a good week to get that done. Damn it. :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
You wont be disappointed lol I actually sold an Ipad2 to get this. I was going to give the Ipad2 to my wife but she doesn't like it. She wants an Android tablet so she better not try taking mine!!! Nah she wants a 7inch I think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TrailorParkKid:
Anyone shipping to APO that ordered on 12/23 or later got a shipping update? Mine says shipped on 12/27 but UPS-MI is still not showing any tracking information.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Get her an acer a100 she'll love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeDaddy0710:
I had the same issue as you today, ordered, 3 hours later get backordered email, then 2 hours later the status shows it back on track to ship. I called and they did confirm my order was released to the warehouse and should be sent tomorrow.

My guess is they are getting them in the system as soon as they come off the truck and they just happen to have another pallet or two come in this afternoon to start filling orders again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
yeah I know 1280x800 is bigger than 720p my point was to your unclear post talking about your alternate purchase of the iPad that made no mention of you actually describing the Gtab 10.1 in comparison to the Prime.

Quite frankly I don't know why you would compare the two when the Prime is a generation ahead of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But the Galaxy Tab is in the same family as the original Transformer, Iconia, Xoom FE, and Lenovo IdeaPad all boasting 1280x800 screen res over the iPad 2.

Oh and my dad has a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I can confirm that it doesn't have the cheap looking white plastic back anymore that had received most of the criticism.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bittercold:
I am shipping to APO AE and mine hasn't updated either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Has anyone who got in on one yesterday (12/28) at around 130pm got a shipping notice? Mine still says "usually ships in 0-1 days". I paid for next day shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ReaderLee:
Bought mine 10 minutes after you. Also paid for express shipping. One says "can't be cancelled" the other doesn't. Both also just say "usually ships in 0-1 days"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bittercold:
Exactly what I am doing for my wife. She gets my old A100 and I get the TF prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Finally got my shipping notification. Jesus christ on a stick :mad:

I live in Phoenix, AZ, one state over from the warehouse where they are coming from, paid for express when ordered on the 23rd at 2:30 MT and had an estimated arrival date for the 27th. It is the 29th and I JUST got a tracking number.

My order hasn't yet been refunded the Express shipping fee as promised per an online customer service supervisor, but i'll give it another day before I raise hell... again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juvenile43:
Has anyone got a tracking# or shipping confirmation while their credit card says pending. The reason I ask is I hope my order ships today so I can get it before the holiday. I ordered on 25th status changed to no cancel yesterday and my charge just says pending doesn't look like an auth. Anyone in the Michigan area get some info coming their way
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I'm in Michigan ordered yesterday. They have a hold on the money and website says ships in 0-1 days. Will update as soon as it changes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juvenile43:
Mine has been in the same status since the 25th only yesterday could I no cancel u live anywhere near bay city
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holdmydrink:
That sucks. I ordered the same day and like an hour before you did and mine shipped on the 27th and is being delivered today with free shipping. I'm also in Phoenix by the way. Kinda didn't see a point in express shipping when it only takes one more day for $30 less.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Let's hope that our primes are on the same shipment because I just got the UPS notification as well.

So you chose the free shipping option and are more likely to get it before me? You see, I was going to go with free shipping but I thought that because UPS was closed on the 26th, I wouldn't expect to see my prime until after the new year
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djsaad1:
Just placed my order, says shipping 0-1 days, I choose express shipping.

I leave the country on the 6th. What odds are you guys giving me on receiving the tablet before the 6th?

Live in Texas
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
I'll bet you have it by the 6th.

Hell, you may have it Friday with express shipping. If not Friday then most likely the 3rd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
My confirmation email has that too. Didn't notice it before. Checking the status of the order doesn't actually give me any dates, just says that the order is in the process of being filling and usually takes 0 - 1 business days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Well the item now can't be canceled...a good sign? Hope so.

Ordered mine on 3:20 pm EST.

Mine still can be canceled. I guess Im a couple hours behind you in ordering.

Mine still shows has a button where I can cancel the order on the status page. I don't dare test to see if it works though. lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:

I thanked you -- but the link isn't orderable. I don't want to end up with a mismatched dock and tablet.

Time to think very hard about this... how much does the color really matter in the grand scheme of things?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seigex:
no tracking number or confirmation email, ordered mine at about 12:20ish PST..

order says "Order Status: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days." and some other people who posted theirs says "1 - 2 days".. not sure if that means anything.. still have the ability to cancel my order, but my account was charged immediately after
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
If you can't cancel your order then I guess it did already go through.

On the order status page it states:

Order Status:

1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Sounds good but I'd still want the tracking number before canceling any other orders if it were me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Sorry I did not try to order it since I already ordered it at B&H.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr Zulu:
Read on the pre-order thread that they are shipping these out of California so that gives me a little hope that they're still working toward getting some out today and aren't closed yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madefl:
Did you guys get regular shipping or expedited?

I got expedited and it says arrival 12/28/11. From California to Florida usually takes 2 to 3 days.
