[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zektor:
Well, I received mine yesterday from Best Buy online. My order was kind of odd. Two weeks ago on Friday, I woke up and hit the website again to look at availability. It was sold out the night before, but to my surprise it was available. I immediately placed the order, and right afterward it went back to "out of stock".

Needless to say, I was pretty skeptical and kept checking order status. It stuck at "in process through the weekend (understandable) but remained this way through to the middle of the week. I gave up and called Best Buy to cancel. The woman put me on hold for a minute after "confirming" that the reason it was stuck on in-process was because they were most likely not available. When she came back, she said the order was cancelled...and I moved on.

Two days later, I checked my bank balance and saw that I was CHARGED for the Prime! I immediately logged into my BB account and saw that it was apparently shipped, UPS tracking and all. I was a little ticked initially that they apparently did NOT cancel my order, but decided to roll with it and figured if it arrived in anything but mint condition that it was going back to a local BB right away.

So, it arrived yesterday while I was at work. It was a LONG day at work needless to say, and when I finally got home I actually did not open it for a few hours. I was concerned about all of the negativity surrounding it in the various forums. All of the odd issues and some really scary stories. After a beer or two later, I said the hell with it and decided to open the box.

Immediately upon powering the device on, I scoured the screen with my eyes for dead pixels, dust, screen bleed..what have you. Absolutely NOTHING wrong with the screen...whew! Booted in to Honeycomb and it immediately found my network (full bars) as well as a few neighbors networks...and even some I have not seen before on my other devices! Ok, wifi is not an issue. Applied the update to ICS next. Downloaded, rebooted, Android logo with spinning gears....all done.

Went back in and checked everything out. Good deal! Everything is smooth and gorgeous. Installed a few apps, games and emulators...everything worked as expected. Played Pacmania (in Mame) and off to bed.

Came home tonight from work and continued with this baby. Tested the mini HDMI on my TV, worked perfectly. Played some music and heard it out of my surround system. HDMI working perfectly. Check that off the list.

Next, I tested the microSDHC. Popped a Kingston 32GB card in that had some previous apps and stuff from my old Asus Slider. Worked as expected.

Set up FTP access in ES FIle Explorer to my Serv-U FTP and streamed a movie (John Wayne, The Quiet Man) as well as some MP3's. Worked smooth as butter.

As for GPS, yes, I had a slight issue. I had signal for a short time in the house, and then it went out. However, this is more than normal. My Garmin gets NO signal in the house no matter what! I will have to take it out soon and test, but I have the feeling that GPS will lock on for me as well.

My point is that if you find one of these, I recommend to buy it and try it YOURSELF. You cannot go by issues in the forums. Remember, the majority of the time when people have NO issues, they do not post and say "everything is ok!". You usually only see posts when people do have these issues, and posts should not sway you from one of the greatest tablets ever created. I freakin' love this thing!

BTW, I forgot to add that mine is a C1 serial number based model. Perhaps issues were vastly fixed with this one.
