[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lekhwani:
I am in India and a bought 3g+WiFi model for $400 ( euro 300 ) with scribe pen. In us also it was sold dirt cheap recently at bestbuy. The price in your country seems to a bit high.

Though its a very good tablet, I would say look for it for about at euro 300 for a 3g version. Then you can't go wrong.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
1. around the same price as in australia...i had a wifi only tablet and it turned out to be pretty useless to me, so i 'upgraded' my 10" transformer to the 7" flyer...if you can afford the 3G version, get it

2. best purchase ever...i love it

3. all devices are obsolete within 6 months of being released

4. lol @ samsung...noooo comparison between HTC and samsung devices, i don't care what the specs say! and do you mean expAnsive, as in better, or expEnsive, as in it costs more? (doesn't matter really, my answer is still the same)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
That's pricing for you in Europe, we always pay more than the rest of the world (except Australia...)

And €300 for a 3G version, I think you'd have to look second-hand, and even then I think it'll be difficult.

For the OP: I have a 16GB Wifi-only. And I was also first thinking about the Acer, but they took too long to come to market here. In the end, I just couldn't wait and shelved out a bit more (I paid a total of around €350, and that included two silicon protectors, a folder case, a screenprotector and a car charger) and I've been very happy ever since. Even with GB (which, I must admit, now that I have HC, I still like better... But for the pen-support in HC, I'd go back).

Edit:

oh and about 3G vs wifi-only: 3G is no use to me, as I don't want to pay premium for a 3G subscription or data-plan... I like my very cheap call/text subscription...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
i pay $5 for 500MB per month for a data-only sim...awesome!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] monyozt:
Flyer in my country Indonesia only about 550usd.. its worth for 7" tablet.. I pay about 6usd for data only.. get 2.5GB/month and about 3.1mbps bandwith
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
Yes, if we had that... Data-only: 10 euro a month for 200Mb...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
off topic(ish)...i was recently in greece and got a sim with what they called "practically unlimited data", to which i found equated to 60MB a month...i used it in about an hour

After Bestbuy messed up my preorder three times, was going to processed my order, had 2 simultaneous tf201 orders on Que, they were almost ready to be ship but at the end BB run out of stock and they just simply apologized by email, I got no rebates, incentives or any coupon of any kind for all my trouble as they promised. After 40 days literally fighting trying to get my tf201(gray or champagne w/ dock), reading all complains and issues about the rushed tf201, and after seeing my brand new tf101 power button starting to failed(getting loose just after 1 week of use) I decided to give up with asus tablets. it might be just bad luck but will definitely wait for acer, lenovo or even apple, whoever releases a new tegra 3 tablet or ipad 3 device will get my money. At the end I already have a tf101 and ipad2. Does anybody know if rooting a tf101 will void asus warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
Sure won't. go ahead and root it ;) <- sarcasm

I agree with the guy above me... cool story bro (I haven't gotten any type of rebate for amazon not shipping my order that I placed on the 22nd, and it isn't a deal breaker even if others are getting $50 for whining)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oasis9389:
glad you have found a way to justify not having a tf201.. the tablet owns..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
Enough Said!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RJM77:
Sorry, but it's fascinating to me how many people out there actually think anyone else really cares what they will or won't do with stuff they have or have not bought. This affects me how, exactly?

And in case anyone DOES care, I bought a caramel macchiato this morning, and I'm glad I did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
DUDE! NO WAY!!! AWESOME!!! I wish I had one :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
I bought one of those big Rice Krispie Treat bars. It was teh yum! I am, however, not buying the Cool Ranch Doritos chips. After first finding out that they vending machine company increased the price of the chips to $.90 I was really frustrated. But, having worked out a deal with a coworker I was able to scrounge up the extra change and purchase the chips. Upon punching in the numbers I realized that the were mislabeled and instead, I got a granola bar. This was very frustrating as I don't live in Colorado and I don't eat granola. At this point I went and complained to the receptionist who told me there wasn't anything she could do about it. After about 10 minutes of sobbing in the fetal position, a different employee walking in the door dropped $1 off at my feet and told me to go "get a hot chocolate." I said thanks, but obviously had no intention of getting a stupid hot chocolate. I returned to the vending machine and found that the dollar was very wrinkled and it took me nearly 15 minutes to get it to work in the machine. By this time I was just about ready to give up. Miraculously, the dollar was accepted. With a full $1 credit in the machine, I decided to buy some Fritos.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
The real question is can you root the Fritos???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
only if they have an unlocked bootloader
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
sorry to hear about bad experience but if you think Acer products are built any better you are mistaken. just go with the closed ecosystem of ipad3 and become a zombie chained and at the mercy of what Apple wants you to do with your device. whenever it comes to apple products, although well built, its whatever they say and think goes. no freedom to do as you please with your tablet. even if you jailbrake, that's only to do half the things Android does right out the box. o have an Ipad n love it but in no way compares to the power, quality, and overall mulitfunctions that the Prime brings.

good luck..Addios Amigo ;)

I rooted a slot machine in Vegas
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
I love this forum. So tired of ppl/kids complaining about this crap and always bringing up buying something else instead. Just frickin buy something else and whine to your mom's, not us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fernando sor:
In fact I would go as far to say if your In a conversation you can't get out of with ma or anyone really just bring up the subject of locked bootloaders. They will wander away
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dadoc04:
this thread is full-o-lulz

A+ on the vending machine rant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
Better yet.....whine to Fernandos Mom!!!!! she will love you long time! :D:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
I unlocked the bag to get to the Fritos, but now my warranty is void. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
LOL eat some....re-seal the bag.....and wham!!!! warranty is no longer void!!!! lets just hope they don't count the chips
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
My Fritos had a gps issue, I kept missing my mouth. I returned them to the store and I'm prepared to write a very nasty online letter to the company. #banfritolay
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbatt:
Wow, I love this forum.

This morning, I just found out my Grandma died in her sleep last night. After reading this thread I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. This is just what I needed this morning. Thank you guys, really, thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spyderhd:
Does the fritos have better GPS than the Doritos? I currently have a bag of Doritos on order but may cancel and get fritos instead.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
I think they're about the same unfortunately... I've read that the Doritos have one of those 128 bit aes encrypted bootloaders though...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:

Sorry for your loss.....I do know how you feel....and am glad we could make you laugh.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
Doritos should be fine. Early reports from the Frito camp about the GPS issue blame the shiny metalic lining they have (but then you get to make frito pie so its a toss up).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Wow, look at all these haters...

Sorry to say but the prime isnt all that and a bag of chips... I would much rather have something of better quality. The reason the OP was telling everyone what he thought is so he can warn others of the mistake he has made.

I guess you all are just too young and childish to understand that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nukeruss:
What took you so long? I was wondering when you would show up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
I was really happy to read you sold yours.

Then I saw you got another one tomorrow....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
I was going to get you a jump to conclusions mat but they were backordered SO here's my response:

maybe, JUST MAYBE, some people are tired of the retarded negativity prevalent on the board lately?

If you don't like it, return it. Shut the f up about it. I swear to god half the people waiting for their tablets are ready to return it based on what other people post. Use your own minds people. I bet at least 50% of the people complaining about wifi/gps issues wouldn't say **** if they hadn't read that other people were having problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
I am sure the dried apple chips are available......I myself prefer salt over sugar.......

What makes me laugh is that the OP never got his hands on one of these and based his warning from people have had bad luck....but there are plenty of very happy owners too...most don't post.... Most people will post negatives or positives based on personal experience......he is basically giving useless information on a product he doesn't even own...soooo "thanks for sharing?" lol

In the mean time we have turned a negative useless thread into a laughable fun and energetic thread that has made some people including myself laugh. Maybe its childish but being childish is can be more fun then being a prude and always taking things so seriously.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
:rolleyes: There's nothing wrong with someone coming on here and giving their review of the tablet in question. However, did you even read the first post? It was a tantrum about shipping delays, Best Buy backorders, and problems with his TF101. From all indications, he never got the TF201. So seriously...WTF!? There's plenty of other threads already discussing shipping and stock issues, why start yet another thread. To top it all off, the post ends with a question about the TF101. It's got nothing to do with "hating on him" for disliking the Prime, but for creating a pointless thread.

I halfway expected the whole thing to end with "...then my mom got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air."

Also....What Slayer69 said....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
When will you fools learn? People posting negative experiences with their primes are not out to just give you a hard time... You are not that special.

They are simply warning others of the many problems the prime DOES have. Weather you want to admit it or bend over for asus is your choice.

When i get tablets now days (since all are made in china) I usually order two and sell the one with less defects or both if the product totally sucks.

The OP was just warning others of what a crap company Asus is when it comes to tablets (and netbooks for that matter). Don't be a hater, just because someone is pointing out flaws in your new shiny transformer toy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fernando sor:
Im childish is this the right thread?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
When will you learn how to read?

He never actually had the tablet so how could he be posting about his negative experience with the tablet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] novaIS350:
Call the waaahhhhmbulance because I hear a lot of whining.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayer69:
Seriously?!!! haha wow...dig in deeper....."Don't be a hater, just because someone is pointing out flaws in your new shiny transformer toy." GO READ POST 1....he doesn't even have said toy in hands!!!!!......his other issues he should go post in the proper forums......

lol just wow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
whatever the prime is or isn't, someone who hasn't even gotten one in their hands (the OP) to try out should be the last person talking about their experience and cluttering up the forums with more and more completely useless threads.

no one cares if he/she is going to buy a prime, an ipad2/3, mythical samsung tablets, upcoming lenovo tablets, or a bag of fritos.

if they had actually used it and then stated what issues they had with it, then the post MIGHT have a little bit of merit, but really, there's at least 10 seperate posts about people's complaints which can all be merged into one thread.

ALL gadgets have their pros and cons, it's up to the individual to decide what's important to them and then buy something that aligns with that list. this idea of purchase by committee is one of the dumbest things i've seen happen.

read reviews, read what people who own it have to say, get an idea, but really, either buy it and return it if you don't like it, or go to a store and play with it, no one cares about anyone elses purchase decisions about anything.

the only people who would be relevant in regards to the community is if people who actually produce something (people like jcase) change their minds about purchasing/developing for the device, then someone might care about their decisions.

anywhoo, i hear the doritos come in full HD flavor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
They were only 720p :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Dont try to change this around on the OP, after my comment i got hater responses. I had a TFP, I know of its many flaws and unlike you I understand why he is glad to not have to put up with it.

The people in this TFP forum are really a let down compared to other devices forums. Its like pre-school here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
damn you doritos!

the mystic ranch flavor that will be announced at the chip expo in a week is supposed to be at least full HD though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Ut

If he had any experience with it fine but he doesnt so his opinion is pointless.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] max1001:
Nope, wrong. The real question is if you root the Friots, would you void the warrenty.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alex1x:
I have the ipad1 and ofcourse my sweet android SGS2. I just got my TP about a week ago.

I have to say, I'm in love with android period.

TP is sexy, but it's android which makes it shine. I have few problems with TP and I'm hoping ICS will fix them, plus CES is right around the corner, so it will be a deciding factor for me to keep or return TP. A quality quadcore if announced at CES to be released with a month, i'll return otherwise I'll be keeping the TP since I really like android.

Funny thing as it is now, ipad1 is bugless and more fluent than TP. I still go with android because it's too much fun :) lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
I am supposed to receive my TFP, tomorrow and thought there is some trepidation now based on so many negative posts I plan to reserve judgement until I do my own test and play some games and enjoy it.

I don't think it's right to be on here and complain if you don't even have the device. I had the TF 1 for about 6 months and though it was a little heavy and buggy, I still used it everyday when my iPad sat. I put a custom rom on it and though my ipad is built very well, so was my transformer. I can save it survived many drops and yet looked and felt very nice. If I could get nba game time and league pass to work right on the prime I will be extremely pleased
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
negative posts are one thing, and if kept tidy (how about ONE thread for generic complaints) are not a bad thing when based on actual user experience, but the OP doesn't have the device and cancelled his order based on what they've read on the forums, and as such, who the **** cares what they do with their money unless they're a reputable dev/dev team who actually produce something for the community.

doritos blooming onion (5.0) is rumored to fix all the chip issues anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Ive read all the complaints and still ordered my prime, how you like them apples (hah).

And if its defective well ill just return it for replacement until I get one that's good enough.

The key is patience and persistence, eventually you will get a working one (apparently there are some! :o)

People are quicker to ***** then to praise, Ive learned to take whinging on tech forums with a grain of salt.

Basically I assume for every complainer there's 10 happy customers out there with no need to come here and complain.

I accidently copy the wrong files during the Rooting. After I successfully S-OFF with revolutionary I saw my bootloader screen with REVOLUTIONARY and S-OFF. After that I accidently copy the wrong files of firmware updates instead of CWM.

Cant front, autocorrection on the stock keyboard sucks majorly. Is there an option to turn up the level of auto correction or do you guys know of a better keyboard? Im thinking of installing the LatinIME gingerbread keyboard. Also, i cant seem to find the option to turn off haptic feedback on tge stock keyboard.

What do you guys reccomend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
settings > language and input > hit "default Engilsh (US) - Android Keyboard)" > hit "Configure input methods" > hit the "settings icon" next to "android keyboard.

In here, there are lots of options. Vibrate on keypress, sound on keypress, etc. If you click on "Auto Correction" it has different settings. By default it is on "modest". There is "aggressive" and "very aggressive". There is also advanced settings at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
i am not sure how you type, but i have no issue with the auto correction of the stock keyboard.

in fact, i am well impressed with it as well. as there is some sort of blind type DNA in the stock keyboard, that is for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
I've had no problems with it so far and I'm a novice when it comes to typing on an Android phone (Even though I've been using them for 5 years) auto correct is doing its jobs worth for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
my only issue is that I keep hitting the "b" button instead of a space because of the larger screen... and 80% of the time it fixes that automatically.

The ICS keyboard is very good IMO. The only alternative I would recommend is SwiftKeyX but I didn't like it. It was too aggressive and screwed me up more then my typing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb02:
Seriously, are you typing without looking at the screen? I've misspelled some words pretty bad and auto correct hasn't gotten it wrong once yet for me. Not sure what you're doing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Downr@nge:
Sometimes lol, but no seriously, i like auto capitalization of "i" and auto punctuation sometimes. I like the aesthetics of the keyboard but simple stuff like correctjng these coomon words that im tryjnh to type here and tge keyboard doesny aytocorrect. I think i type pretty fast in landscape so id like for mg simple mistakes to be corrected so im not slowed down much. I also have pretty decent sized hands so maybe that plays in as well.

Okay, i just turned off the haptic feedback and turned up autocorrection to aggressive. Howevrr, i jusg notice that there was an optkon to show suggested word corrections. I made sure it was on. However, as i tgpe no suggestions appear like tgey did on the gingerbread keyboard. Also, you can, see my mispelled words. None autocorrections were made on "aggressive" setting. Do yiu guys get auto correction suggestion popups?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatila:
I'm having same issues, a lot of words end up garbled nonsense as well. Must mean I really suck at typing on that thing ;) but I am definitely quite a bit slower than on real keyboards like palm pre and G1.
