Sounds like one could almost play a tune on it!! Terrible terrible to see for such a supposedly "High End" device!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] derstock:
Just as an info - Komputronik (so far the only reseller of TF700T in Polnad) informed that they have/will have only the 64GB grey version with dock in sales.

In other words no 32G or tablet only versions in sight :(.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terjeofnorway:
Seems like this is a common thing for all launching territories - only 64gb w/ dock available until later this fall. It's not hard to see that this is a marketing strategy to get early adopters to dig deep into their pockets for that extra $$$. It sure works on me, though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
(source)

I can't believe this.. the main reason I waited for this device was to use its "Super IPS+" for use in sunlight. ASUS is actively marketing this feature by saying that it allows you to use it in direct sunlight... Seems like you can only use it as a mirror in direct sunlight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
I think they do it market by market. There are some places where they think the large mem bundles sell best, and others where it is the tab separately.

Personally not to worried about the UK being bundle only, but most concerned about the 64gig only (having spent the last few pages complaining about hte Nexus 7 small amount of storage!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] terjeofnorway:
Several reviewers are saying the same thing, but mostly because of the smudging issue. If you're diligently polishing your screen (which I'm not), outdoor usage looks to be fine-ish... I need to consider some sort of anti-glare skin. Either that or get a small mobile tent to wear when outside.

But I do agree that a relatively highly priced tablet such as this should be less smudge and glare prone than what's being reported.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dknotty:
Well just seen the Asus Iconia on Pixmania for £385 (!) which seems pretty cheap to me!

http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/12426189/art/acer/iconia-tab-a700-tablet-wi.html

No dock and not very stylish but that price point is quite compelling.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
The price is really good, but unfortunately (besides the lack of dock) it's a no-no for me because of the weight and extensive heat issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
I also thought it was a way out, but beware!

The thing has really premium speakers compared to tf700, but it has a bunch of its own problems, including:

- overheating under normal operating conditions (some claim its bearable, some say its too hot)

- overheating more when playing games \ flash (with some, to the point of game crash)

- bloatware including an "antivirus" (!)

- some report sporadically poor touch response ("missed" touches)

- hiccups when browsing PDFs

While the bloatware problem is easily fixable, the overheating one is not. There's a thread on xda about hardware modding the device to increase contact of the mainboard cover with the backplate radiator, but its ongoing at the moment and in any case:

- I wouldn't want to have to mod any device I buy for >20$

- You'll surely lose warranty if you do that

So it seems that ALL the manufacturers are churning out below-the-par goods at "premium" prices, having decided that people will buy them anyway. I'll pass, thank you - after all, the necessity of the tablet is overly exaggerated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pnharrison:
*Acer (not Asus!)

I agree, seems quite reasonable, especially if Asus do ask for £600 for the TF700 here, which is starting to feel too expensive. Although I'm put off by the various reports of the A700 having a few issues.

The Nexus 7 also seems a *very* compelling proposition at £160-£200, although it's a different animal at 7 inches.

Yesterday Asus CEo has described how hard pushed they've been over the past few months to launch the Nexus 7, and how they diverted 40 extra staff onto the project. I wonder how much manpower it took away from the TF700 launch / quality control??

[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Ugh, seems like after all this waiting I will not get the Infinity after all. :'(

ASUS Benelux said on Facebook:

Translated: the 32GB version is planned for September.

I am leaving in early August for Indonesia, and I will stay there for a long time.

I'll have to wait for the windows 7 tablet now, or maybe buy the iPad with a keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
LOL...so very well said mate!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dknotty:
It is quite cheap, for me though I need a 10inch HD screen and a microSD card.

I think we're seeing the tablet market fragment into large and small tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
So it seems the clicking sound / loose elements may be there only in some units. Look at the reply by gadgetjm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdgqk1aIZUI
[Asus Transformer TF700] agdroubi:
I think I will go with the acer a700, it has the same resolution as infinity, 32gb and a competitive price. And the most important thing is that it is available, i am not ready to wait 2 or 3 months for asus to release the infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
Of course it's only in some units. The question is, in how many and which will you get for the money you pay - a good one or a bad one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Yep, that's one question. The other one is: if / how they are going to exchange the faulty units.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hemidroids:
Yeah, widows people have to click a button and Linux people type a word in a terminal. And to top it off, you do it before you go to bed. What a pain.:eek:

LOL.....some of you crack me up. I have an 8GB card in my phone and have a whole bunch of video (movies & TV) on it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Just because you are content with low video quality doesn't mean that everyone is; thus 16GB is not enough for everyone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] s300pmu1:
Agreed. With handbrake, converting stuff is a breeze; but why do it if you can avoid it? BTW, for me, Nexus 7's max 16Gb are not a problem. For some, they might be.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Ok guys, so I have it confirmed: the Infinity will be waiting for me tomorrow high noon! :D

Update: There is another site (http://notebook4u.pl/) selling it for about 50 EUR less, I have ordered the Infinity from them, it is going to arrive on Saturday ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
Where are you getting it from? :victory:
[Asus Transformer TF700] derstock:
Where are you getting it from? Komputronik? If yes please post some comments afterwards - I plan to order one myself and would appreciate some feedback about the store and the equipment :).

Sure thing! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
For those of you living in Ireland or Netherlands it has been confirmed to me from a representative of Komplett.ie that the TF700T 64GB version with dock will be available for order from tomorrow.

Here is the exact quote:

Since Komplett Ireland shares warehouse space with Komplett Netherlands it was previously confirmed that the product, once available, will appear on both sites (Komplett.ie and Komplett.nl) simultaneously.

Great news that we're not tied to the UK schedule of August but again it's a real shame the 32GB version isn't immediately available.

I'll be refreshing the page like crazy tomorrow to try and order ASAP :D

-Phil

P.S. Been following this thread for months and it has been an invaluable resource when deciding what my first tablet purchase will be. So thank you all very much. :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
there are other options, but obviously cant be discussed on here. an option in which there is no need to copy over anything, or convert anything. Without connecting my tab to my PC (i use linux), i can download movies (over 1gb) and watch without conversion. I find that the movies that are less than 2gb, play great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
You have a link for where to buy this mate? Also, any reviews?

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Hey Phil,

Here in Dublin and would LOVE one but not really prepared to pay CRAZY prices for it! What do you reckon the price will be?

Also, if we do run into issues like those in the Polish review posted earlier (popping sound when case pressed) what sort of come back do we have with Komplett Ireland? Or if it turns out to be laggy etc.

Cheers mate,

Mark
[Asus Transformer TF700] Johnex:
This is great news.

I hope they ship tomorrow also, not just available for orders.

Fingers crossed! :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Thank you very much. I am Dutch and appreciate these kind of spots. Unfortunately I already quite expanded my budget for the Infinity 32GB with dock and so I'm not planning to purchase the 64GB one.

Asus Benelux mentioned on Facebook that the 32GB version will only be available in.. September. Shocking I know.

Does your source happen to have a better and hopefully more brightful insight into when the 32GB version may arrive?

By the way I was not aware of komplett.nl, nor that they share warehouses with Ireland. Thanks so much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
Komplett offer a 7 day DOA policy, so if you report a fault through their website within 7 days you are entitled to a refund or replacement. You must return the product within 14 days of the DOA application.

They also run a 14 day cooling off period, longer than Pixmania which is 7 days but shorter than Amazon's 30 days.

Warranty as with most stores is dependent on the manufacturer.

They have quite helpful staff monitoring boards.ie if you have any issues Mark. I purchased a 40" samsung LCD TV from them years ago and had no problems at all.

Already asked him for details but I don't think he can divulge any further info due to the aforementioned "Asus Embargo". I'll try again tomorrow once the 64GB is released. Unfortunately I'm expecting similar pricing to that in the rest of Europe: €700. Their pricing of the TF300 and TF201 matches that of German websites (hardwareversand.de and anobo.de) but cheaper than Amazon.co.uk.

I was told before they don't allow pre-orders so fingers crossed they're in the warehouse ready to be shipped tomorrow. I'm excited now so willing to blow my €600 budget! :fingers-crossed:

Is the standard US keyboard layout mentioned by komplett Ireland qwerty? Or does the US use something else?

Also are they likely to ship across to us in the UK? Thanks for the find!
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
according to http://geizhals.at/eu/802894 the 64GB version without dock should be available (at least in Austria and Germany) beginning from 5th or 6th July (but of course such dates have been postponed in the past..) for 599 Euros

if anyone hears of the TF700KL version which i'd rather have because of 3G please post ASAP :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gewebekomplex:
Today i bought the Infinity at the local Saturn for 699€ 64GB with Dock in Grey.

Wohoo! :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Great, if it's in Germany it should soon arrive in The Netherlands as well. I'm hoping they will decide to ship the 32GB version sooner than September now...

PS. could you verify if the box of the keyboard says "Transformer Pad Prime" instead of Infinity?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rferrett:
Erm... has XDA changed massively in appearance for everyone else or have I just accidently messed with the settings?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
I've never bought a keyboard from Komplett before so I'm not 100% sure however in the US they use QWERTY but keys like @ and " are in different places. He did mention US-International so who knows what that really means! :cyclops:

I don't think Komplett ship to the UK but they more than likely will ship to Northern Ireland. Deliverme.ie provides a service for people in Rep of Ireland whereby you get a product from the UK shipped to their address in Northern Ireland and they forward it to your address in the Republic. I'm sure there are similar services available in the reverse if you have a look :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Gewebekomplex:
The Dock is inside of the package of the Infinity. So no i cant verify this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
The latter I guess? ;)

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

At least a few people has already confirmed this (while noticing the slight difference in colour in comparison to the original dock, which is weird), but I will let you know on Saturday (please remind me if I don't).
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Ah I thought the dock box was inside the Infinity box :)

In that case it may be that they only used the Prime box, but not the Prime keyboard.

Or, they repainted all prime keyboards.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gewebekomplex:
I looked in the Options there stands that the dock is TF201-DOCK-0207.

So it apperas that this is the dock of the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
So this "207" is what identifies dock firmware i guess.!!

To France, It just cost 20 euros shipping with Easynotebooks.de.

Do you think they will confirm the 5/6 july ?

Do you have an azerty keyboard in Germany ?

Do you think it's transparent for me to buy it in France or Germany (european notice...) ?

Is it the same as the french one (but 100 euros more expensive !?) ?

I don't think anyone posted this yet, right? They ship to US and Canada but I guess it's not a good deal for Canadians as you have to pay for shipping and duties.

Speaking about this, I'll be in the states from July 14th to 21st. If I get the TF700 at Best Buy in the states, will I be covered with the warranty if anything happens in Canada?

True, I mentioned it in an update to my previous comment on putting an order for Infinity (though probably nobody goes back to previous posts in this huge thread ;>). If they confirm actually shipping it today, I should have it tomorrow. If they don't, I'm getting one in person for ~50 EUR more from Komputronik today (I hope it will be the former because of the price + a very nice staff in Notebook4u that responds immediately to any queries while in Komputronik they hardly answer my calls).

[Asus Transformer TF700] DarkFire1985:
Yeh and the thing with most sites is: how will they call it?

Transformer? Infinity? TF700? TF700T?

I'm trying all kind of search terms but nothing so far, sadly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Usually the stores tend to struggle to get customers, not the other way around, as you can see in this thread ;-) so it should be called sth like:

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T 64GB Gray w/ dock

BTW, they don't invent these names, they normally just get it from the producer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dub Tech:
The Prime is called "Asus 10" Eee Pad Transformer Prime - 32GB - Dock".

Transformer Pad TF300 "Asus Eee Pad Transformer Pad- TF300T -32GB - Dock"

They don't stock the original transformer.

Good thing is if you search for TF201 or TF300 you get the right results so I'm assuming searching for TF700 will find the Infinity! Just to make sure I'm refreshing the Tablet list page too.. C'mon Komplett!! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
He he, same here! Waiting in anticipation just to see what the price will be!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] derstock:
That's true, I'm constantly monitoring this thread but never go back ;). Do you by any chance know if (or when) there will be the Gold version available in Poland? And/or without keyboard? I happen to have the gold prime keyboard (unfortunatelly lost the tabled :() which I would like to use with the Infinity, even as a spare one ;).
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Unfortunately my only info in this matter is ASUS Poland facebook page.. which may not be as reliable as one would expect, as they tend to misinform people on release dates because of their marketing agenda or simply lack of info..

I would *love* to have the Champagne S4 version, but I have to suppose it's not coming soon. The Champagne T33 version perhaps might be here before fall (from ASUS Poland or elsewhere, as it pops up in pre-order in various countries, which actually may not be reliable too btw), but I don't have the patience to wait ;)

From what I understand from their (obviously unclear) post, the model without the dock might come sooner, see https://www.facebook.com/ASUS.Polsk...omment_id=22427448&offset=0&total_comments=27

You might want to take into account that a few reviewers mentioned their old Prime's docks fitting the Infinity, but being of a SLIGHTHLY DIFFERENT COLOUR.

I'm sorry about your lost tablet, must've hurt..

Hey mate,

If I pre-order on here (http://www.jr.com/product/productLis...r+pad+infinity) do I then have to take the item or can it be cancelled? The reason I ask is that my brother is coming to Ireland on July 13th from San Francisco and if it gets shipped out to him before then I will take it, if it's any later though I want to be able to cancel it. You pre-ordered from these guys before?

Thanks,

Mark
[Asus Transformer TF700] KrisTheRock:
I would simply call them to let them know and make it clear that they have to ship early enough so it's delivered before the 13th. But the 13th is playing with fire, I've seen 14 and even 16 as the release date.

On another note, I don't have much experience with pre-orders but I don't think the first websites to put pre-orders up on the web are necessarily the first ones that will get stock. So if you can cancel a pre-order, I would place one with them and then another with a company you 100% trust and has a good return policy then cancel the first pre-order. Makes sense?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
Sure does mate and thanks.....silently praying I can get one from somewhere delivered to my brother before he leaves! Realistically it needs to be the 12th I think as he arrives in Ireland on the 13th.
