With two SD card slots available, the 64GB version is over kill (for me).

I really don't use it for music or videos anyway.

My plan for the infinity is to preview pictures from my DSLR while on a photo shoot.

However, the 16GB card in my camera never gets full from a single session, so 32GB is plenty
[Asus Transformer TF700] hashish16:
I got my tracking number, but it doesn't mean it shipped. it just means they generated a tracking number and it will ship monday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Hehe. I use a 32gb card in my dslr and it fills up fast. Then again, I do gigapixel panoramas with a pano bot and 2000 images in a scene...
[Asus Transformer TF700] giper54:
I was on auto notifier too. I put an order in at 3 pm est on Saturday. I guess I got lucky.
[Asus Transformer TF700] giper54:
I also put an auto notify for the grey 32 gb version. Maybe that is why I got one so quickly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] giper54:
A former student of mine works at best buy and he said the sky number is in the system and it should be available at the store he works at in a week or two, once they clear some of the other asus tablet inventory.
[Asus Transformer TF700] newellj79:
I just had a online chat with office depot. I was told that the infinity I ordered yesterday afternoon will be shipping directly from the manufacturers warehouse and should be here Wednesday. I was curious as to why my order still said "in process".
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
That's the worst kind of delay when they don't want to take in new model to avoid hurting the sales of an inferior model.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I certainly hope that's not true everywhere...that sounds really stupid. And they're going to miss all the early adopters...meaning most of the people who buy it
[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
I fully expected to have Infinity in my hands in week of 16th July, as announced by Asus...The wait has already been so long. I have already lost half the interest in getting it....If shipping gets delayed further, I'm not sure if i'll want it at all.!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
I bought the 64GB in gold. As soon as the dock is available I'll buy that to.

I had to buy the 64 version because it's the only one available otherwise I would've taken 32 GB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eli6093:
Asus Infinity @ Best Buy

It shows both the 32 and 64 gig models on BB's site for pre-order. Maybe they'll be available at 10:00 today (Best Buy's opening hour)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sag365:
Which inferior model? The Prime has already been taken off of their website and is not available in stores!
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
Anyone check office depot I know they open at 8. I am in CST so still to early for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
My order status just says delivery pending, with delivery scheduled for this coming Wed, July 18th. The nearest Office Depot to me is 60 miles away, but we are in their delivery area so next business day delivery over $49 is free. I have a Staples 9 miles away, but they don't seem to be selling it yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Best buy should have the clout needed to just ship all their Prime's back to Asus for full credit so they could sell the Infinities. I know the Prime is still a nice tablet, but it has such bad press.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
I will be swinging by one in the next 20 I'll provide an update very unlikely but who knows.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
Not on floor checking stock, we'll see fingers crossed
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
As expected no luck, no word on when they will hit
[Asus Transformer TF700] carolek:
Available at Office Depot

I just ordered the Infinity, 32 gb, grey at Office Depot. They had several more in stock. My order has been confirmed and I was told that I would receive it this Wednesday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bigzinewicz:
Ordered Asus transformer infinity from Adorama.

I ordered the 64gb champagne gold Asus transformer infinity from Adorama a few days ago when they initially became available for pre-order. I had to actually call the store though as they weren't being allowed to take pre-orders online at the time. It looks as if they are taking pre-orders on line now though if anyone is interested. I got an email telling me the item is back stocked and should ship in 10 to 14 days and that was about 4 or 5 days ago. Waiting on the email confirmation for shipping. Your not charged until the item ships and if you decide to cancel which I'm starting to think of doing its an easy one call process. I'm strongly reconsidering my pre-order especially with the new Nexus 7 currently shipping and at a much better value. I'm gonna wait a few more days at most and see what happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
Can anyone advise me on the following?

I'm from Singapore and I think we're not gonna get this anytime soon. The ONLY news I've heard is that it'll be here in September. I've been looking around at the sites suggested and am really considering importing one. I may be able to get someone to bring it in for me from the US but the thing I'm worried about is warranty. When you guys bought your tablets (from whichever outlet/shop), did it come with a 1 year international warranty? If the warranty is only applicable in the US and to the outlet/shop of purchase then I don't think it'll be wise to buy it from there.

Still, I really wanna get my hands on this tablet before my new year in the school starts (mid August). Opinions/suggestions anyone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shadow071506:
Hey...I'm from the Philippines and I was actually planning on going to Singapore during the second week of August and I was actually thinking of getting an infinity there...but from what I have heard from u, is there really no possibility of it arriving in Singapore by the second week of August? aren't there any shops in Sim Lim selling any infinity at the moment? btw, if you don't mind me asking, how much are the tf300's selling there in Singapore? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
Hey! I haven't checked any shops in Sim Lim. Don't really trust them anyway. For this sorta thing, I'd rather go to Funan to get it. Anyway, getting back to the subject, I don't think there're any in SG yet that's why I'm thinking of going the import route.

TF300 has varying prices here. I heard someone got a 32GB WiFi set including dock at 699SGD at Sim Lim. Then again it's from Sim Lim so I'm not sure. From what I remember, the typical price of a TF300 32GB WiFi including dock is 749SGD. The WiFi+3G 32GB set is 899SGD at Challenger (889SGD for members).
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
I ordered from Adorama on the 15th - currently "Pending" - I called and they have no idea as to when the orders will be filled.

Out of frustration, I just ordered another one from Amazon. I'm also going out for lunch to see if it's at any local stores.

Worst case, is I'll end up with 3 of them
[Asus Transformer TF700] shadow071506:
Thanks for the info regarding tf300.. up until now, im still choosing between tf300 and tf700... but i guess i'll just go straight to tf700 but i guess we have the same problem as of now... I'm betting its going to take a lot longer for the tf700 to reach the philippines, since the tf300 is still not released here... If ever you get any idea regarding import and all, do let me know here in the forum... SIngapore and Philippines aren't exactly that far so I guess I can work something to out ... :) I just hope ASUS singapore or philippines does something to actually speed up the release of the infinity in our countries >_<
[Asus Transformer TF700] Guardsix:
You got a link? I don't see the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity on any Best Buy web site!
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I'm seriously thinking about doing this...
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
The same here, but I ordered yesterday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] modulator03:
all I could find...

64gb grey

32gb grey

dock grey

dock gold
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
I pre-purchased a champagne keyboard/dock so I'm locked into the color.

It really looks like the only color shipping is Gray/Purple Blah!

Is there anyone ordering a champagne model actually who has been notified of it shipping?

Also, I stopped by two Office Depots and our local Best Buy... None of them had a clue when it was coming in and the Best Buy said it usually takes a month for new product to show up in the stores.
[Asus Transformer TF700] C3jay:
Here you go

[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
I called j&R this morning to confirm about when they will start shipping infinity. They told me its still back-ordered, so i told them that its already available and shipping in few stores!! Anyways, long story short, they said that if thats the case that it "might" be available in 5-7 days.

I'm in Texas, so office-depot,Amazon etc are out of option as they are charging tax which increases the cost by 50 dollar. Also, i prefer Champagne color which is not available yet. Thats the reason i'm sticking to J&R.

If someone gets any updates on J&R, please notify on this blog.
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
Does anyone know if any of these places have an Asus International Warranty included with the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Beknatok:
Thanks for that update. I'm waiting too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
WW & US firmware for manual (as opposed to OTA) update is out: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16

just place the file on microSD card
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Mail call... It's a box! Its a shinny new Champagne colored... wait for it... Asus - keyboard/dock! The color is amazing, the keys have a perfect feel and the build quality looks great. I had no clue the Champagne tablet would have a 1 to 2 month wait... This is going to seem longer than the 6 months of waiting it took to place an order. It's a darn good thing i have y'all here as my support group.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Nice! Is this the same thing we'll get as an OTA? Or is it newer?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It's the same, but you don't have to depend on OTA.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
im trying to seee why everyone wants champagne, it seems like your holding a golden pan . xD i think the gray version thats being caleld slightly purple looks more silver and modern . hm , and why buy the 64gig version if u can just get the 32 version and a class 10 32 gig sd for 19 bucks , plus another 16 on a micro sd xD
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
The champagne has class, and distinction and doesn't look like a ipad.

Also, if you have 64 Gb internal you can still have a 32 or even a 64Gb mem card.

I've already bought a ultra fast (but doesn't work untill update) 32Gb µSD card for the tab and a 32 GB one for the dock too. That gives me 128 GB total. If I could get the tab with 128 Gb internal, I'd still add 64 in the two slots.

Different usage-patterns...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
According to a few prime users the Champagne model doesnt show fingerprints and scratches as easily. Also, the contrast between the champagne dock and the black screen looks amazing in photos.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
If I don't get an OTA immediately after connecting, I'll slap that on for good measure. What was changed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatpandas:
amazon in stock

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C1-GR-10-1-Inch-Tablet-Gray/dp/B008F4NL18/ref=lh_ni_t

letting you guys know that amazon just posted the 64 gb gray as in stock and actually SOLD by amazon.com. just ordered and it says i should get it by the 19th.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mikelsbid:
Interesting, I wonder when they will update the order I placed on the 15th? It simply shows as order placed and that they need more time to give me an estimated shipping date. Prior to this it had said the 3-4 week thing. When I go to the link you provided it does at least remind me at the top of the page that I ordered the item already. Here is to hoping that they get me a shipping update soon.

Just to confirm, you placed an order now and it already says you should have it by the 19th?
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
I placed a order for the 32 version as well. Not only can I change the shipping speed to the prime 2 day shipping "or pay extra for 1 day shipping", but the delivery estimate is now for the 20th. :D

So if you preordered a tablet via amazon NOW IS THE TIME TO CHANGE YOUR SHIPPING SPEED!

EDIT:

Just checked, after changing my shipping speed it locked it into processing! WOOT!
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatpandas:
indeed sir. Just placed the order and it said expected delivery on the 19th and is under the status "Not Yet Shipped".

It looks like this just went up so i'm guessing the updates on the pre-orders are still trickling through the system? I'll provide an update when it actually ships as I'm not too confident that it will get here that soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmoney94:
On Amazon?
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
Mine just went into "Preparing for shipment" with a ETA for the 20th.

This is with the 32gb infinity, prime 2 day shipping, preordered on the 15th.

@dmoney94 yes this is on amazon.com
[Asus Transformer TF700] dmoney94:
What time did you made your purchase?

is this the 32GB version?

Was it Amazon.com not a 3rd party seller?
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
I purchased it on July 15th

Yes, its the 32GB version.

It was Amazon.com LLC, so I am assuming it is indeed amazon.com
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
It is Amazon, sometimes Amazon will stock and ship things for other companies, but they will indicate that on the web page.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatpandas:
i actually just placed the order. I imagine those of you who pre-ordered should be first in line and will probably have theirs shipped first.

i actually got the 64 gb version so maybe it's because fewer people ordered that version.

and yes, Amazon.com LLC
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Looks like the 64GB GRAY Infinity is also available on bhphotovideo.com

And both 32GB and 64GB (GRAY) are now shipping from tigerdirect.com

And the 32GB (GRAY) is now shipping from bestbuy.com

But no signs of the champagne tablet shipping from anyone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganja5000:
I spoke to two Tiger reps, they stated no shipping on these until 07-23-12.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

I suspect based off of other posts and from other store reps, that shipments are arriving wednesday/thursday. And being processed from there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Because I don't like purple and the gold version looks more like silver than gold.

The 64GB is the only one available in my country.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
What is your country?

I made a thread for everyone to post places to purchase the tablet in. I'm going to try to make the most comprehensive list I can. Anyone outside the US is welcome to post too, I just added places that I found for the US. I'll make separate sections for non-US suppliers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
This is a good site too, especially for keeping track of who has what in stock-

[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Oh, cool. I'll add those to the list lol. Might as well, I'm already committed to it lol. And then I can start adding non-US sites as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Right on, thanks for working on that! I know in the UK, Curry's is one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Well if you want me to add UK availability to the list, go ahead and post in the thread with a link and I'll add it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:

Would someone be able to post some pictures of the underside of the dock?

It it made from the same spun aluminium (prone to scratching) as the back of the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gunner1937:
You also could have told him that a click on the Cross (or Flag) on the upper right corner of the Post shows the Country name;)

My 32gb grey infinity from Office Depot shipped at 5:30am today. UPS is showing it set for a tomorrow delivery. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
I can take some pictures when i come home, but i can tell you right away that the backside of the tablet is NOT prone to scratching :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
The finish texture of the dock has straight lines going the length of the unit... not spun.

Mine, is still in the plastic cover, and scratch free.. but i'm sure it can be easily scratched because it is aluminum.

I believe the the champagne color is closer to the color of dust, fingerprints and aluminum... So, It should stay cleaner looking and hide scratches better then the dark gray tablet.

FYI: I did attempt to take a picture with a phone, but it really doesn't show the texture... I may take on the challenge tonight with a DSLR.

Assuming this is in reference to the Champagne version, it would be good news indeed - Thanks for posting!
[Asus Transformer TF700] BritCrit:
I spoke with the folks at tiger direct this morning. Some orders moved to backorder due to dock availability. Apparently they are getting a shipment on the 21st. Regular tablet appears to still be in stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amd1979:
I pre-ordered the 32GB champagne TF700 from Amazon in the middle of the night on Sunday morning. I upgraded my shipping to 2-day this morning and have a "delivery estimate" of August 8th to August 23rd. I hope they get stock sooner than that. I'm dying to get this thing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
The 32 GB Grey is in stock at Amazon-

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F4NL04/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Best Buy sent me an email about an hour ago saying that my tablet shipped. They were pretty quick about it, I'm impressed. I should get the thing like Thursday or Friday (I don't know what kind of shipping the lady set up for me, just that it was free!). I'm pleased with Best Buy, I thought it was going to be a painful experience, yet it wasn't.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
But the champagne model is like having a Cadillac with Gold trim and 10.1" spinners! It is so worth the wait!
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I wouldn't want a Caddy with spinners, or any car with them lol BIG 1970s Caddy is what I want, huge engine, weighs a ton, like driving on a cloud, and power everything! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I couldn't find the tablet on any of those sites. Where were you looking?
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I'm just going by people from the UK who got them at those sites and stores.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
They must be getting a large quantity... my amazon order (same model) was made Monday (noon) and we have the same delivery estimate. I just changed the delivery to 1 day (only $3.99 for prime members)

I also have an order with adorama.com (made early Sunday morning). They told me (this morning) they expect a delivery the end of this month.

I really do not need two, but I'm not torn on which one to cancel - Does anyone have some advice on which would be the better bet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
It's more like a nice and simple silver chain with a warm touch of gold very elegant and stylish, or just not so purple ;).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Ordered from Amazon and my order is "Shipping Soon." I'm a Prime member and paid the extra $3.99 for one-day shipping and it says I should have it tomorrow! Since I live near Dallas, I tend to get items from them quick anyway. Will report back once it actually ships.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kimusubi:
Does anyone know why the dock isn't available on any of the websites? It seems that everyone is backordered on it. Amazon says 1-2 months, but I don't think it will take that long. Anyone have any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] humdrum2009:
did the same

Returned my tf300 to best buy.

got it credited back to my account ordered tf700 amazon prime style.

i couldn't resist it lol, i am a tech whore.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapienssapiens:
Hi guys/gals,

I'm in NYC until Thursday night and am thinking about getting an Infinity. I live in Europe and the price difference between here and there is huge.

So far, the only option seems Best Buy but when I select "in store pick-up", the system tells me that it needs 3-5 days for delivery. TigerDirect has no stores around here, and B&H does not list availability at its NYC store.

So...seeing as I'd rather enjoy the city's amazing culture than argue with the geek squad, I'd really appreciate any pointers/tips. I apologize for polluting the thread for a personal issue and thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I be one too, times 10 LOL Model Trains, Cell Phones and Tech are my hobbies, do I pick cheap hobbies or what? LOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
At this point, the only real ways to get the tablet is to have it shipped to you. Sorry man, but you probably won't have enough time to get it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Originally I had my Tablet and Dock order put in at Tiger Direct as they said they'd ship them both in 3-5 days. Since I saw Amazon at least had the tablet available NOW, I cancelled that order and got the tablet with Amazon. I don't mind waiting to get the dock as it will force me to enjoy it as a tablet for a while. If anything, I'll just go pick up the dock in person somewhere. I suggest if you really want the dock online, keep checking Tiger Direct.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Walkamo:
Received mine this morning from NewEgg... The screen looks amazing... However, after using the Nexus 7 over the weekend, I cannot wait until Jellybean comes out for the Infinity.... Just want a smoother experience...

If anyone has any questions about the tablet, let me know..

Walkamo

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

One nice change they made was that the MicroSD card now sits flush with the side of the tablet... I use to have a problem where the SD card would accidentally get ejected if I put it in my bag since it stuck out a little bit.......
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
I really like mine.

The design, shape of edges and even the size of the black edge seems just right to grip and it feels good to hold.

The µSD slot secures card well and the power-button is not easily depressed by accident.

The volume button on the other hand is hard to use as there is no indication of where the "middle" is on it.

If only it would give a smooth experience I'd be happy as a pig in muck...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Walkamo:
I am guessing Asus will have Jellybean ready for this tablet pretty soon since they have obviously had access to it for quite some time for the Nexus 7... I returned the A700 I had for this tablet...... After comparing the screens, I believe I made the right choice...
