OMG! Thank you so much! That was bugging me the camera opening up every time. Now if I can get recommended the best clear screen protector and maybe a clear cover for the back. Maybe a set off Amazon. Is Skinomi the best there high for one screen protector a=and i saw some for 9 or 10 bucks where you get 2 or 3. But I want a good one where you can't tell it's on there and still easy to touch and of course easy for my guy friend to put on. :-) Thanks Again! Love this thing!

Outstanding

Another positive feedback from me. Got my Grey Prime on Friday 13th!

Serial number present, OTA firmware and ICS update without a hitch. Wifi as good as my SGS2, near or far from router. GPS hit and miss, locks on 9 out of 11 sats outdoors, indoors variable, don't need it as SGS2 does the job.

Fast, beautiful screen, everything works well, very occasional and random reboots so far, not enough to bother me. Asus keyboard includes Swype type tracing, works in gmail, which is great without having to install another app (I have paid SlideIT and beta Swype but don't need them).

I have given my iPad2 to the missus but she wants the Prime after taking a look at it. Android is maturing and while I have the greatest sympathy for people with dud Primes, don't forget that "Apple" makes crap launches too (antenna saga, you are holding the iphone wrongly etc). I had qualms before buying Prime but none now.

I have dumped 3 iphone iterations, several macbooks etc in favour of reverting to Win7 and switching totally to Android. Not an Apple hater but have had enough of form over function restricted by the fruit company's vision of all consumers being dimwits, to be led by a leash or else!

Hopefully Asus will have learnt a big lesson from this launch - low stock, QC issues, slow comms etc - maybe they will do better next time. Still doesn't help people with defective Primes but hope Asus does the right thing. Competition certainly works and this is an excellent product when it is working, I won't touch my iPad2 now.:D:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattdude23:
i love mine only thing that could make it better is the unknown serial fix. then it will be perfect lol

Just got my grey 32GiB-Version with Dock for EUR 650,-. Prices are ridicilous high in Germany, anyway I couldn't resist to get me one.

So far everything went fine, still on Honeycomb and no ICS update notification yet. Original Browser feels a bit laggy sometimes, so I switched to Opera Mobile and Dolphin Browser HD.

Serial Number is BCOKAS144xxx, Build from 2011-11-22.

GPS failed to get any satellites so far, where the Galaxy S2 would find 8 the Prime finds none (inside a building). I'm going to check this in the open tomorrow.

Wifi speed is good just a few meters from my access point regardless of facing the router with the screen or facing with the back.

I sensed no quality issues with the casing, stuck or dead pixels. HDMI is still to be tested, as well as micro-USB.

I'm going to root this baby tomorrow and will be desperately waiting for ICS to show up.

I love mine. It's flawless. Got it in the mail the other day from Office Depot. They only have the 32gb grey model and luckily that's the one I wanted. It's still in stock too.

http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/906853/ASUS-Eee-Pad-Transformer-Prime-TF201/

Also, damn this thing is a beast. Games are amazing on it. I haven't touched my PS3 since I got it, haha.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slaia:
I'm happy to join the crowd here. I got my TFP today. Totally happy with it. The WiFi signal is ok and in the remotest place in my flat the WiFi signal strength seems to be as strong as on my laptop (don't have testing software). I haven't tested the GPS though.

The Asus FW update was also downloaded straight away after the wireless connected and is now ready, but I want to backup the FW first before upgrading.

Update:

1. ICS upgrade went without problem.

2. I tested my line speed with speedtest and the result (up and down) was better than Galaxy Tab 7 and Galaxy S2, knowing that I only repeated the test once.

3. The TFP has so far rebooted itself twice when running an app (I forgot now which one)

4. In two instances the touchscreen input went wild while connected to PC. After reboot the problem seems gone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
Mine is ROOTED and i'm happy for now...thanks XDA not asus!

(put two antennas and screw it with a back cover is ABSOLUTE EPIC FAIL!)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tairen:
....HUH? Why aren't you thanking ASUS when it's their product that is making you happy? LOL

No TFP = no root = no happy, therefore TFP + root = happy jedi

TFP - root = unhappy jedi is same as root - TFP = unhappy jedi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
I have been very vocal about my displeasures with my first Prime (Serial Unknown, before they were even trying to fix it), more specifically Asus. I posted this on another forum, so I will copy and paste here. So far, I am happy!

Picked up my second prime today from Best Buy Brick and Mortar. Gary Key said that Best Buy Stores should get them IN STORE starting today 1/18 and I checked online, sure enough, mine had them.

My first prime from BestBuy.com had the Serial Number Unknown problem and light bleeding on the right side. I took it back, disappointed, because I loved the tablet but couldn't update it at all.

My new one has a Serial Number, updated to ICS without problems, and only had about half a dime sized light bleed in the upper right corner. Trust me, I am being very picky to even say that, it is very small.

I let it update and stuff while it was charging, lol, and I haven't messed with it yet. I just want it to continue charging to get a full charge. I must say, I have been very vocal about my displeasure with the way that Asus has handeled the Serial Number Unknown, Wifi GPS Problems (havent' checked GPS Yet). I still have a Technical Inquiry with Asus that was supposed to be answered within 48 Hours, it has still not been replied to and it has been 8 Days, yes 8 Days. Still no response.

However, my new Prime seems to be what my first prime should have been. In my 20 minutes or so playing with it and setting it up, it appears to be great. I am not going to get too excited, but for now, I am very happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tohalloran:
I'm super happy with my Prime. It just arrived this morning and have absolutely no complaints. It's a pretty amazing bit of kit. Also, I think Asus staff engaging actively with users directly on forums is pretty awesome.

Happy days...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakhon7:
This is a great thread. It provides some much needed balance to some of the hysteria out there, and is one of the big reasons I decided to buy Prime. So thanks to all the previous posters :-)

I ordered my Prime from hhgregg for $399, and it arrived within a week. It terms of the hardware it is perfect - the frame is solid, the screen is bright, there is no light bleed/stuck pixels, and the sound is crisp and loud. Wifi has been great both in my home and at my university. Video streaming and playback are fine. ICS is quick and snappy, and the OS is really a joy to use. I absolutely love this tablet!

The only odd thing I have noticed so far is web page loading with the stock browser and Dolphin browser: at times I am unable to load this site, as well as bbc.co.uk. Its not a wifi problem, as I can load both sites by switching to Opera. Aside from that relatively minor issue, tho, the Transformer Prime is perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Hahaha... it will die back to the obituary section.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xvsacme:
Well I have a very positive story to contribute.

I am one of the few people who had serious issues with the Transformer Prime; specifically, the lockup/reboot issue caused after the ICS OTA back on the 9th. The vast majority of people with Primes had no such problem, but I was finally able to find and join a thread of others describing the same symptoms.

Once there, the challenge for us was that even though we had a legitimate, tablet-bricking, deal-breaking issue with our devices, we were drowning in a sea of threads and posts of any other complaint you can think of: "Can't get a kanye west video to play," "Wifi connectivity is a couple decibels lower than I'd like," "Angry Birds is a little laggy," and junk like that.

Thanks to this, not only did we have to struggle to get our issue acknowledge by ASUS, it was hard enough to even be acknowledged by fellow XDA members who were becoming increasingly fed up with all of the griping and moaning about this wonderful beast of a tablet. And who can blame them?

Those of us in the thread kept up with troubleshooting as best we could, and as the post count grew, we eventually saw a few of the more technical members drop in to offer their suggestions (despite growing negative attitudes of some users within the thread), and eventually someone from ASUS even responded saying that they were tracking the issue.

To cut a long story short and get to the positive part - I now have a perfectly working Transformer Prime. I didn't have to exchange it or RMA it, I just waited, helped with the troubleshooting, and assisted the ASUS devs when asked to test new builds. I am currently on one of those builds (see signature) and it has completely resolved any issues I had. No more freezing or boot-looping. It's every bit as fast, slick and stable as it is supposed to be and I'm glad I stuck with it. :)

In summary:

This tablet is amazing.

The fact that ASUS got involved in threads like these and worked directly with end users to test software fixes - despite endless resentment and bashing from quite a few users - is amazing.

The willingness and courtesy of XDA members - with or without the same issue - to offer their assistance to each other is amazing.

I am having a glass of scotch right now to celebrate my resurrected Prime and my involvement in this ****ing awesome community. XDA for the win.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
I got Best Buy to price match the HH Gregg price and I got a $106 credit. I love this thing so much. I played words and Hanging with friends alot and they look so good on this tablet. I just found out about tablified a market place for tablets only with all tablet apps. I haven't looked at it much but this thing is so nice compared to my Archos I sold which had a horrible screen for watching movies. This thing Rocks! I love it so much! I don't care that the 700 series one is coming out I love this thing and have no desire to upgrade my tablet for a while. I now want a little bluetooth mouse cause doing the remote thing and seeing my home computer on my tablet while at work it's hard to touch the arrow in the exact spot.

Glad the ones with problems stuck it out and have good working primes now.

This is What I'm Looking for - Happy People to Help

I love my Asus EeePC 701 SD, but the poor dear is on its last legs, so I decided to go WAY outside my Windows-based comfort zone and persuade my hubby to give me a Transformer Prime (copper) -- before I even got beyond basic calling with my Droid 3.

I've been looking for some patient folks who don't mind giving advice in simple language and baby steps, hoping I didn't use a perfectly good persuasive technique to get a new tool that isn't quite what I need.

Am I in the right thread to ask some general-use questions, or should I go elsewhere? I don't have any issues at the moment, no complaints, just a few "can I do this?" kind of things. Like, is there a good Android version of the Mozilla Sunbird calendar that I can use as a stand-alone, i.e., absolutely NO sync to Google or anything else in the cloud?

Thanks. Happy to be here!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I Usually always praised Opera mobile for being the fastest n smoothest browser out there. WELL today, I thought let me check out stock browser since I haven't hardly used it since ICS update or the most recent one. MAN, I DONT know what they did to it, but stock browser loads up super fast now n very smooth..lmfao. Seriously. I have never seen it this fast before and is comparable to able mobile now. IVE been using it all day now. ONLY THING is, all my bookmarks are in opera mobile n need to try to figure a way to transfer or copy them to stock browser w/out retyping in every single one. IVE always hated using stock browser before but since earlier today, it has been performing that well to make me not even use opera mobile.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
As previously stated, this is a nice thread to balance all the negative outlook written around the forum. Is the Prime perfect? No, it's just a device and all devices have issues, nowadays, even games release full of bugs, and they are just pieces of software. Am I saying that's correct or acceptable? Not at all, yet it's a fact and we need to try to understand the shortcomings of an industry far from perfect, but continue to create and launch wonderful machines like this unique one. I truly believe those issues will be corrected with time, as ASUS will continue to develop and perfect their products listening to it's costumers feedback and needs.

Our world itself isn't perfect, but it's good to be alive and enjoy machines like the Prime among others every day, so folks, enjoy your Prime, it's a wonderful piece of technology, even with all it's already known shortcomings.

Cheers

UK Prime.

Other than the GPS, its perfect.

You'd have to kill me to get it off me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josemfr:
Thanks

I only can say THANKS Asus. This is my first tablet and I think its great.

Ive readed many posts about the different issues and I was really worry about it but, once Ive received th ATP, I can not apreciate any issues:

Wifi : Works in the same level my other wifi devices (PC, mobiles, ...). the same level reception and the same transfer speed. Ive tested that in different rooms of my home.

GPS : Dont work inside the house. If I use it in landscape, in less than a minute tracks 13 satellites with no wifi connection.

SCREEN : I can no see any dead pixel.

Firmware Updates: I can remember 2 updates with no problem. I like ICS.

Anain: THANKS ASUS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boovilly:
Got mine yesterday (UK), bought from Ebuyer.

Updated to ICS straight away and smiles all the way since.

Google+ doesnt seem to work (keeps stopping), but I dont care much for it at the moment anyway :)

Screen has small amount of light bleed, Gps sort of works (can get a signal inside, but weak), WiFi is good, no creaks, no dead pixels, keyboard dock is cool aswell.

All in all very happy.:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ttav:
That about sums up my feelings:) I`ve moved up from the original Transformer and i have to say the Prime just blows it away.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
Have someone came up with the possibility of Google's software developers and their new "babyborn" ICS, having a certain degree of responsability in all this mess?

Just a thought!

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Heerocon:
So I went to a local coffee shop yesterday to test out my prime outside the home. I got my coffee, took out the tablet and started looking at all the networks in range. Its a busy part of town, so there was a lot of routers present. I just connected to the first non protected one there was in range. The connection was OK but barely worked, so I looked around me and realized the router name and password written for the coffee shop's actual router. I had actually been picking up the building next doors signal. No wifi problems here! I've got my skinomi skin, my poetic stand book case and a dock that could be here in a week or so. I'm feeling pretty good about my prime.

Also, I loooooooooove the ics keyboard! Its so nice to use. I can type at a good clip and maintain a pretty decent level of accuracy. Anyone else enjoy it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
Despite getting an unknown serial code prime i got the manual update work. ICS made the tablet much better. I can't wait to get the dock though to see what kind of productivity I can get out of this thing. I still have to admit that the prime is not as smooth or fast as my galaxy nexus but I like what Asus offers in addition to stock ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] listenloud:
it's nice to see that ASUS has made some people happy with this product :D!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] husenicaa:
Same here. ICS is working great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WasabiWa83:
This thing is beyond amazing. I tried GPS for fun and got immediate lock. Started driving and it said I was in a different city lol. Oh well, the wifi signal is damn strong and everything else about this thing is perfect. I'll never use GPS unless looking up directions from a stationary position so it meets my needs. I'm. Extremely happy with my purchase. Now my dock that I've had for three weeks has a friend!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tq745:
i just jumped the gun and ordered the 32gb from best buy (in stock now). I don't really care for GPS. The only thing I'm hesitant about is the WIFI, I will depend on WIFI a lot so I hope mines doesn't have the issue...looking forward to receiving it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
I loved my prime... Then after my first unit getting bricked, I've returned and exchanged it. My second unit is absolutely AWESOME. Backlight bleeding is at a minimal, wifi and gps are fine. =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmulligan:
After all of the stories about lock ups and reboots after upgrading to ICS I was nervous about upgrading my brand new untested, by me, ATP. So far I am very happy with it and ICS. I am blown away by how much faster my prime is than my SGS phone. The screen is beautiful, wifi strength is adequate and ICS is new and fun. I am glad that I got this tablet and glad that I upgraded the OS immediately.

My tablet arrived yesterday, is a Canadian WW CBIL unit and has a C1 serial number.

Got mine today from Amazon. Ordered 64gb amethyst on 11/22.

ICS pre-installed. Firmware update, camera updatd. No wifi issue getting 50-60 mbps about 30 ft away from router.

Gps locked on immediately. Will test more later after a full charge but it seems to have zero flaws thus far.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab

Semper Fi!!!

same here got mines today as well the 32gig model, works like a charm updated to ics this things is blazing fast. I really feel bad for people who have problems with this tablet, it is giving this tablet a bad name when it is an awesome tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rose4uKY:
I'm glad to hear everyone is liking there tablet. I am loving mine two. It did reboot out of the blue twice but other that I have had no problems and it's so fast. Mine updated to ICS the day after I got it and then the other day it said there was a camera update but I didn't get it. Wasn't sure cause I did hear about people's getting bricked from updates. But it's not telling me in the notifications about the update anymore. But this thing is just awesome! Just can't wait for my new plaid pink case with Stylus to get here this week.

I add to the crowd of happy Prime people. My 32 GiByte Prime and it's dock (both grey) runs very stable and smooth with ICS, Wifi is good enough to watch mid quality youtube videos with two thick walls between the router and the Prime and all in all I'm very pleased with it.

Didn't try GPS outdoors but indoors it's not any good (unlike my SGS 2 which gets a lock with 8+ satellites in the same spot).

Fears allayed!

I ordered my grey 64gb TFP and dock on 12/26 (with gift cards) from Amazon. It came yesterday afternoon (1/24). After monitoring this forum for months I was a bit tentative as to what I'd find when I opened the box.

Well, it came with ICS loaded. I have a BC serial number. My wifi is fine. My Linksys E3200 router (dual band) is located in the basement yet I still have 2 bars in my bedroom on the second floor. I've been able to watch a TV show on Netflix without an issue. I haven't tested the GPS since I won't be using it as I have a GPS installed in the car. The keyboard is great for doing emails, word processing, etc.

So far, no reboots or screen banding. I do, however have one dead pixel and a bit of light bleeding only visible on the ASUS startup screen. Neither issue is a show stopper for me. It's a great tablet!

Thanks to all of the posters in this forum. I've grateful for all the information you have supplied.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wodurrah:
not to mention I still have wifi on the third floor of a brownstone...if anyone knows what that is...thats a tall slim building made of stone with thick walls and floors...Router on ist tablet on 3rd...still good connection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CW927:
I have a T-Prime - Champagne Room Edition and my wifi connection is better than with my VZ Galaxy Nexus.

I also LOVE the development support behind the Prime. When I updated right after I received it on 1/19/2012 I assumed that I would still be able to root, but the latest update had removed the latest known exploit. I only had to wait 6 days for a new exploit to be discovered thanks to the devs on XDA!
