Here in Portugal is already available. I'm tempted to buy one and if i buy it has to be today, due to a 10% discount in portuguese Fnac.
But I don't know, the lack of future updates and TFT screen prolly gonna make me don't do it.
I already have mine. It's a cool device, but you can count by your fingers the apps optimized for tablet.
@myself11: I confirm that Here in Portugal it's available locked to vodafone.

Asus Transformer 3g 16gb will be available from late June in Switzerland for a premium of 150 swiss francs over the wifi version, and so will the 32gb 3g version
Are you sure the 10.1v screen is better than the transformer IPS screen?

Not working for me now either, hope its not due to a price mistake .
I can still find it by searching best buy website but it wont let me open the item up.
I figured that was a little too much tablet for $400.
Look at the specs 2.2 lbs. It's a "Transformer" aka brick that converts to a tablet.

Lol, actually that's either the box weight or a typo. It weigh's 1.49 pounds.
The Slider is the 2.2 pound "brick." The Transformer has a keyboard dock that you can put the tablet part onto.
I was mad as hell when I saw this on Engadget... but it's probably is too good to be true. But if the price is legit, I'm definitely returning or selling my gtab for the Asus.

Gone from Amazon.ca too. I really hope it is $399, but I have a feeling it will be at least in the $450 to $600 range. What I don't understand is how more than one site messed the pricing up? Did Asus give them the wrong MSRP or something?

I totally see Asus coming it at that price with a 16gb internal memory. I think what is more likely is Asus wasn't ready to release the pricing to the industry. You know don't give your competitors time to readjust their pricing. They actually manufacture their own products and the parts in it can be bought for quite a bit under that price in the bulk Asus buys at.

Acturbo,
The keyboard has an internal battery, so its normal for it to last LONGER with keyboard attached
Newegg shows prices on their site
Newegg shows the 16GB at $399.00 and a 32GB at $499.00. This maybe what is motivating Viewsonic to reduce the prices on their Gtab. They do not list any pricing on the keyboard/battery pack.
Just looked at Newegg, no longer listed.

I can wait until 4th Quater and Ice Cream for SD support.

I've seen no confirmation one way or the other.
What we do know is the limited edition Google IO wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 given away did not have micro SD.
And I've seen some reviewers doing hands on with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G version that does have a micro SD.
So my guess is the wifi won't have it and the 3G will. Though no clue on how much the 3G version will cost or when it'll be released.
Anyone know of a reputable website that has confirmed the $399? Seems a little good to be true.

The $399 price rumor stated with this ...
"Speaking at the event (Google IO), Samsung officials reportedly told Into Mobile that the company will release a Wi-Fi version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 priced at $399, the same price as the Eee Pad Transformer."
into mobile reporting:
URL: http://www.intomobile.com/2011/05/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-wifi-hitting-june-8/
paragraph of interest:
"Smartly, we’re hearing that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi will probably land for about $399 before taxes. This is a great way to counter the juggernaut that is the Apple iPad 2 and I can tell you that this device seems like every bit the equal of the Apple tablet."
I'm still a bit skeptical about the price tag. They officially announced it would be $499, now there's just a rumor saying it would be $399. I'm very happy if it's $399 and it makes the lack of sd card slot a bit easier to tolerate, but I wouldn't count on it.

I also looked at Into Mobile's website and found nothing. Agree, it's a little odd if Samsung was sharing this news directly with them, they wouldn't have made this more visible on their website (I see it nowhere).

This is the original words
If you've been following recent Motorola Xoom developments, you'll know that the first "Google Experience" tablet has just been updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Alongside the update, Carphone Warehouse, one of the main sellers of Xooms in the UK, has cut the price of the Wifi-only model to £249.99. This is a £50 drop from the earlier RRP of £299.99, and the latest in a long line of Xoom price drops which has seen the tablet gradually fall from the July price of £399.
It might not be as sleek as the Galaxy Tab 10.1, or as fast as the ASUS Transformer Prime, but £250 for a 10-inch, dual-core ICS tablet isn't a bad deal at all if you ask us. UK readers, would you be tempted to drop £250 on a Xoom at this point? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-xoom-uk-price-slashed-again-now-£24999
So from a perspective buyer to those who own the Xoom, is it still a worthy purchase compared to newer tablets? I've been wanting to get a 10" tablet but they either lack the dev scene or hit the wallet pretty hard but the Xoom is well supported and at this price seems to be a steal. I did hear about lag/performance issues early on but has this been ironed out? Thanks

ICS for me has fixed all the niggles of honeycomb, its still not perfect but the DEV scene has now gone massive with ICS builds so it wont be long.
Personally I still feel the XOOM is the best made of the tablets, I love the fact that out of all the tablets you can now buy, it still has the smallest bezel which for me is a winner.
Great price for a good tab but the question is when will the uk get the ics update..
Hi, I picked my Xoom up from Argos for £220 and that was before Christmas.
Also had a nice case from Amazon for £10, fits a treat and tablet performs great. J ust waiting now for OTA update to ICS and job done.
Bargain for sure
This is a bargain, ICS is great, no need to wait for the OTA, goto the US version of 3.2.1 and await the push

Ordered mine last week, should be with me tomorrow hopefully. While there may be newer tablets on the market at the moment, the price of the xoom and the incredible support being offered on this forum make the xoom the clear choice.
My sister just got one from carphone warehouse, she had been looking at one for a while, she just wants it for reading stuff online, so tegra 2 more than powerful enough for her. At £250 with ICS on its way it's too good to leave. If I didn't have the eee pad transformer and hp touchpad I would have considered getting one to play with

Hi all, I am looking for Asus Transformer Pad in India. I am not sure if this was available yet, but I saw some Indian users in the section. So, I think it was available and can any one post some details here?
Thank you!
EDIT:
I bought the new iPad 16gb+3g and I think it was worth for 36k and I already have One X, so I think it was a better tablet for me with a different OS.
Hi ...remember you from wp7 section of hd2 forums
Tf 300 Not launched in India..no estimated date too....got mine with a cousin from the US...bought at best buy..399 $ for tab and 149 $ for keyboard dock plus taxes...depending on the state in US..expect 8-9% tax...
You can save 50 $ if bought at microcenter store.
Great tab..it is not difficult to find a friend or relative who lives in US and is coming home next week
Well if you need tf201 (prime), it is available in India but is exorbitantly priced...rs 49,950 for tab plus dock ... if you get it from US, it will still be a 10k cheaper

I don't have that choice, I don't have friends in US, but I have in Canada. But it wasn't yet released in Canada, even if it was released I have to pay some 20% extra in terms of tax. Checking with some dealers in Hyd and heard they have it, but need to confirm it.

Sure bro! I am going to get it tonight, need to see it directly whether it was from US or India. Price was 27k for 32gb only wifi. The dealer is saying that there is another 32gb version with 3g aswell. I am unaware of that.
Yes..it seems the tf300 TG (3G) model seems to have been released in some parts...well seems like 3000 rupees more for the tab, but then if you can't get it from US...that is OK.

Today, I missed the chance to get one. Dealer said the stock isn't received, I don't have much details about that. I have to wait until morning. But, I am thinking about 16gb only wifi, cause it will cost me less. Any way it got a micro sd slot right? So I don't need to go for 32gb.

I think it was worth, cause it was cheap and best in hardware. How do u plan to import?
^^ My sister is coming home from USA in the second week of July. She will be getting it for me.
In any case, I am still not entirely decided which tablet to get. I have a budget of $800 and was planning on the Transformer Prime, but decided against it due the WiFi/GPS issues that it is plagued with. So considering the other Tegra 3 tablets namely the Transformer TF300 32GB + Dock, Acer Iconia A510 32GB and the Toshiba Excite 32GB
I think, among all the tablets TF300 is the best and cheapest.But I am not sure about build quality cause it was plasticy. Some one already using this one has to confirm

May be you can wait for infinity...but then with dock...it will cost a little more

Plastic is good...it helps in better wifi and GPS signals...textured back helps in good grip and no fingerprints ...some stupid fellows feel that the plastic flexes when you press hard...of course,else it would be brittle and break easily...the Tf 300 is amazing piece of hardware..
Also suggest to get the 32gb..costs only 20 $ more...the more memory the better especially when you want to play tetra 3 games ..good games take up around 500mb or more...still suggest getting also the dock...it is totally worth it for the extra battery, extra SD card, and full USB port..you can connect Ethernet adapter, mouse,Xbox or PS controllers, hard drives for your movies...and routine pen drives

Plastic is good...it helps in better wifi and GPS signals...textured back helps in good grip and no fingerprints ...some stupid fellows feel that the plastic flexes when you press hard...of course,else it would be brittle and break easily...the Tf 300 is amazing piece of hardware..
Also suggest to get the 32gb..costs only 20 $ more...the more memory the better especially when you want to play tetra 3 games ..good games take up around 500mb or more...still suggest getting also the dock...it is totally worth it for the extra battery, extra SD card, and full USB port..you can connect Ethernet adapter, mouse,Xbox or PS controllers, hard drives for your movies...and routine pen drives

Yeah, you are right. It seems more like a PC but in very portable and handy price. But in India with dock the device costs around 40k(28k + 11k). I am trying with my friend from UK. Thanks for your response bro!
I also use tf300.I am very happy with the performance.Only problem is sometimes it crashes.

update to latest firmware .29 if you haven't and then try these:
1. if you use chrome browser, uninstall it...use opera mobile or ics+ browser from market
if no use, then
2. try cold boot
still not happy?
3. last ...try hard reset

you are from bangalore...try some colleague or friend"s brother/sister in US...
i got mine 32gb with dock for total 33,000 rs (399 +149 + tax= 595 $)
Now I am currently living in Hyderabad. I checked with my friend in Canada, it's costing me 460$ just only for the tablet including the 15% tax in Canada. So, I decided to get it from local store. You said you are from Hyd right?
I think, I have to stop posting this kind of posts in the thread, cause some moderator will lock the thread otherwise.
^^ Where are you getting it locally? I am myself in Hyderabad and the only places online that that I seen the TF300 is on eBay.in for 40k+ price for pad + dock and that too the items would be shipping from US. Its really a sad price considering that the 64GB Transformer Prime + dock is available for 44~46k with Indian warranty

Cheapest price I have seen for a 3g model

Apparently around 100 left in their warehouse a friend has told me

Fantastic price for an official UK model with 3G! I paid just over £400 quid for a grey market import a few months ago and I considered it a bargain.
I guess that the popularity of the Nexus 7 is driving prices down. Personally, aside from OS support issues, I think that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is worth paying extra for.
Having 3G is a real boon on a really portable (pocketable even) tablet like the 7.7.
No, wait for Nexus 7..... I'll sell my 7.7 for N7 definitely

The price of HK version P6800 is dropped way below this, well, in Hong Kong. Anyway it would still be nice to see it goes down to the acceptable price level.

I don't want to change the subject too much, but as an owner of the nexus 7 myself. I can't see how anyone compares it with a 7.7. The 7.7 is in a different class. The nexus is not great using it in landscape, lack of 3g, lack of a SD card, lack of a rear camera. Smaller screen but tab almost as big, with a large bezel . Screen colours don't compare. Its also lot thicker. List goes on...
A great tab on a budget but no comparison to a 7.7

That sounds like a good price I spent over $600 US at the beginning of the year. I would go for it, I don't see anything coming out with the specs of the 7.7. Well there is the rumor of the iPad Mini, I posted a thread with different articles on 7 inch tabs (neither mention the 7.7) but it's a good way to read up on the specs of all those tabs and them compare to the 7.7. Hope this helps you on the decision.

just bought a 16gb 3G from Carphonewarehouse. £350 is still a little steep I think but its to replace a Nexus 7
hmm perhaps a successor is coming if there is such a price drop?
Got the tab yesterday and it's running honeycomb with no update to ics available :/

uhh... dude, read the forums. ics has been available since july---unless ur NOT gonna root--- =D
apple has an EU-wide injunction on this thing so don't expect any more "official" ICS rollouts. also vheck ur tab for the emmc-cap-erase bug before you upgrade.

If there will be any updates it won't be to ICS but to Jelly bean, the device is still on sale in different parts of the world, and the fact it is banned for sale doesn't mean software update cannot go ahead still.
Is there any place I can still get this for a good price?
Laptops direct have the 32gb wifi version for £239.
Hoping to get the P6800 3G model...

Try this bargain
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=15666&setcurrency=gbp
I bought mine about a month ago from Laptops Direct for £230, seems the price has gone back up now though, probably worth watching in case it goes back down.
