Just received an e-mail from amazon.co.uk (where I preordered my eee pad)!
They expect to ship on may 12th!!!
Maybe Asus has shifted gears and now have production running
Lucky you! im told the start of June before shipping, tho my local comet has the non-dock/keyboard version in store with £20 discount. But id rather have the one with the keboard.
strange... i ordered mine today
and the estimated dispatchdate is may 6th
Dispatch estimate for these items: 6 May 2011
1 "Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 10.1 inch Tablet PC (nVidia Tegra2 1GHz, 1Gb, 16Gb eMMC, WLAN, BT 3.0, Android 3.0)"
Personal Computers; £376.81
I'm probably going to buy my Transformer from amazon.co.uk within a few weeks, but there's something I'm not quite sure about. Light bleeding issues seem to be rather common in Transformers, and if I get a faulty unit like this, will it be possible to get it replaced after opening the package? Thanks!
I live in Finland if that makes a difference.
It was nice to cancel the order just now

Warranty should be worldwide. At least europe is fully covered no matter where it was bought (in eu)

I find this somewhat incredibly annoying. Why is Amazon taking new orders for the tablet when they have not serviced my order for the tablet + keyboard. Afaik the keyboard is completely separate to the tablet and arrives in its own box. They should be sending me my tablet now before taking new orders. It is an order with 2 items and both should be sent when they are available instead of waiting until both are available.
I cancelled my order with keyboard and order one without keyboard. I wonder if they really have one - there was "4 left in stock" written under the description.
you're right, it shows 'in stock' at the moment. However my keyboard combo is still expected to be dispatched on 31 may (ordered mine on 15 april)
I ordered the tablet+ keyboard est dispatch 1st june. Maby there is a shortage of keyboards, might just pick up the tablet and wait for the keyboard to be released tho is it guaranteed that it will be sold seperately.

It will be. Some shops already advertise it. It will probably not be cheap though.
Surely just £50 I.e. the differene of buying the tab on its own and the tab+keyboard.

Now it shows: In stock on May 20, 2011.
Still have 'delivery estimate: 12 May 2011'
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, dunno if that makes any difference?
Forgot to mention that I've ordered the version without keyboard, i'll pick up a scandinavian one when they start dropping.
I just bought mine from Comet with £19 discount, the version without the dock.
Well now... just received word that my order has been dispatched and should be arriving on the 10th of this month.
They must be getting new shipments of these atm.
Sorry for any typos. I have fat fingers, a 4" screen, a small child and a dictionary gone wild...

US Military and vets can now order the 16GB and 32GB Transformer from AAFES Online. I just placed my order for the 32GB model.
I didn't see any docking stations or docking station bundles listed on the site.
omg lol I have a friend who can order it for me but I have $500 amazon gift card and was hoping to buy it there to avoid tax...
I believe AAFES are also tax free, aren't they? I may just get it there... Do you know the estimated ship date?

AAFES is tax free and free shipping. They are not very good with correctly estimating ship dates. When it is direct from vendor they say it will ship within 7 days but my past orders have all shipped before that so who knows.

16GB is $420

These prices are a bit higher than the announced pricing but with tax free and free shipping, it didn't stop me from ordering.

Past experiences with ordering this type of thing from AAFES Online, the vendor has been the manufacturer. This has been the case when I ordered a Dell Netbook and an HP tablet.
Still no update on status. My original email said it would be shipped on Friday (4/22). If it is Asus, perhaps they are holding shipment until official release?
Has anyone used AAFES Online price matching *after* making a purchase? I have used their price matching before purchasing and had no issues. I didn't see anything in the terms about when this had to be completed though.
"The Exchange Catalog and Exchange Online Store will match a lower price (including shipping and handling) on any identical stock assortment item currently available for sale and delivery in the customer's area from a local retail store's online site."
**UPDATE**
I just called AAFES and they said they would match the price + shipping of a local retailer AFTER the purchase. So if the retail stores are carrying this at the rumored price, you will be entitled to a refund of the difference.
That's nice, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks What I don't get is that my order say's its going to ship on a Sunday¿ 04/24/2011
I thought it'd be a good idea to separate the docks from the main thread. For those of us who were fortunate enough to already receive a 16GB tablet, our next step is to locate a keyboard dock

Great idea! I need me a dock!
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
good idea man. I have the tablet and the sleeve on the way so all i need is the keyboard
Amen, those docks are elusive... I actually have a friend in Taiwan who's gonna look around locally for me to see if there are any US version docks over there. I'll update if I here back that there are some...
Awesome thread idea. Now which one to pre-purchase from...
Good idea! any idea on when the keyboard docks will be available?
I've had a preorder in for the dock on Amazon since they first listed it (the night of the midnight release). I preordered the dock and the tablet from them but cancelled the tablet because Bestbuy.com actually had one to sell me that night while Amazon.com was out of them before I made it through the whole order process.
I imagine Amazon's backlog of preorders for the dock is pretty huge by now.
Of course, if anyone else can actually confirm a shipping unit out to me before my Amazon preorder ships I'll cancel that as well, but I suspect the dock will be really, really difficult to find for a while, though it is kind of puzzling as to why (as cool as the dock concept is, the dock is a fairly straightforward piece of electronics compared to the tablet).
AFAIK the dock hasn't actually sold a single unit retail yet, the only copies I've heard about were the ones sent to reviewers.
Thanks for putting up this thread. Really getting frustrated with the total lack of nws from ASUS about the dock. Sure, they're out of tabs, fine, but do they really have zero keyboards to go out with the tabs they did ship to the usa? It is ridicukous. Here's hopibg we get some news and a big pile of docks very soon.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I'll post my experience if it helps anyone. I ordered my dock from AmericanTV when they were selling it as a pre order on the 23rd. Was able to snag it for just under $140 shipped, my credit card has already been charged, but the item has not shipped yet. They sent me a confirmation email for the order that was immediately followed by another email tha said the item was out of stock and would ship once the items became available. At the time, the estimated time was about 2 weeks or so. They also sent me a paper receipt in the mail, but I haven't heard anything else since.
J&R
I had an order at JR.com for both the tablet and dock. But then my amazon order updated, so I canceled by J&R order. But when talking to J&R on the phone, they said they expect to get docks in early May. Since BestBuy website also says Dock available in May, and it is already May, I would expect them to pop up soon all over the place.

For the dutch/belgian people looking for a dock. I asked Asus Benelux and they expect the dockings in NL/BE to be available in July.

I also have a pre-order from J&R. Well, my pre-order consists of me walking 30 feet to J&R from work every day to check if it's in stock.
going insane waiting for the dock. but i'm really hesitant to preorder anywhere. i'd prefer best buy or amazon over anyplace else. but honestly probably going to end up preording someplace else if nothing happens at best buy/amazon in a week. can always cancel.
I just put a preorder in on B&H. Obviously no one is shipping these yet but hopefully in the next week or so we'll see some start going out. Now that I've finally got my tablet on the way, I guess it'll make waiting for the keyboard dock a little less stressful. Talk to me in a week though!
At this point I just want to get one on order, since nobody has recieved on in the US yet who do you guys think is the best bet for pre order?

There is someone on Ebay selling over 20 of the keyboard docks for $169 shippied with an ETA of May 13, that's not a bad price or delivery date. But wouldn't that indicate that availability for others should be around the same time?
I'm tempted to buy it.

I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.

If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.
I bought a 10 " inch screen 8 gigabyte version of the A500 Iconia from Best Buy. Seems to be ether a new model or one only made for Best Buy. I haven't gotten it in yet through the mail. I wonder if it will have the same specs as the 16GB model(aside from the memory of course)....and the same quality.
They sell the 8gb version at Costco too. Once the sold out of the 32gb they pulled that in.
Sent from my ADR6300
how much. hopefully u didn't pay 16gb price.
it was $220. i got one too.
As of last week, the 8Gb was 350 at Costco here in the Seattle area. Came with a sort of weak free case.
Congrats on the purchase. I picked one up from Best Buy as well. Now if they'd get around to shipping it, I'd be even happier.
The two things that have been noticed on this one is the lack of mention of GPS anywhere (though many of us are hopeful that it has GPS) and that power indicates 110 whereas all other models indicate 110/220.
Haven't seen anything else yet so now we're all waiting for our units to arrive to begin the fun.
Hi guys,
I got one too.. I hope they start shipping soon.
Here is the link for acer site for this tab: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/XE.H8RPN.005
GPS is not mentioned in any of the versions of A500 tabs.
pretty sure they all have GPS. plenty of threads exist with a500 users having wifi only models and using GPS. just make sure to apply all the GPS tweaks
a stock a500 isnt quite as hot as a tweaked out a500. earl reviews of the stock item at the original retail price were just OKAY at best. but if you tweak the little it turns into quite the little tablet.

say what? i have a wifi only version(a500) and it has gps. no tweaks needed. i doubt these 8gb versions have gps. official acer site and best buy have no mention of gps at all.
can anyone that actually has one in hand check? what a total bummer if it didnt.
this is the same a500 model as any of the other a500 models, with only 8gb. every a500 has built-in gps, just like every samsung galaxy tab 10.1 has gps. you dont need to have the 3G (a501) model to have gps.
the acer website doesnt list ANY of the 8/16/32 or 501 models as having GPS at all, so you can't go by that.
The 8gb one I bought at Costco has gps. I'm going to return it though because I decided to get a 32gb one from Tigerdirect for $400. 8gb just wasn't getting it done with Honeycomb's inability to move apps and data to the sdcard like Gingerbread. I was using almost all of the internal memory and I only had 8 of my games installed. Those Gameloft games need a lot of memory.

I got the 32GB one from costco for a similar price, $350 + tax. But if you can get bestbuy's price at $220, it might worth it.
its 429 plus tax at costco... did you use some kind of coupon?
The $229 8gb Acer A500 at Best Buy was a Cyber Monday deal that actually sold out by early Sunday morning. I think I saw "normal" pricing referred to as $380. I was lucky enough to snag one of the Cyber Monday tablets, but even though they say 0-1 day to ship, it is still "in process" and has not shipped yet.

I'm going to assume that means business days. It should be ready to ship today but who knows what the details are. Best Buy may not have them and are awaiting shipment from Acer which would explain why they weren't available immediately for store pickup (which was set at 5-7 days).
Hoping for the best as I'd like to get my hands on this tablet and start playing with it.
Has anyone emailed them asking about estimated shipping date? I need to have this by 10th Dec. Has anyone bought from Best Buy before? How much time does the shipment take to arrive at CA after dispatch?
I got an email on Tuesday that it was being shipped. I ordered it on Sunday, with 2-day shipping(not ground, not next day) and It will be here tomorrow (Wednesday).
From what I've read, it does NOT have a GPS in it. I'll have to find my sources, but if you google the SKU, it's a special, Best-Buy only device (from what I could find).

Yes, it gave me a tracking number, and the original order (with 2-day shipping) said EXPECTED DELIVERY: Nov 30-Dec 1. UPS shows it as on time, Nov 30 by the end of the day.

From what I've read, it does NOT have a GPS in it. I'll have to find my sources, but if you google the SKU, it's a special, Best-Buy only device (from what I could find).
PS--logged in for the first time in like 2 years to make this post. (and to get my hands dirty again)

Lucky basterd! I ordered mine on Sunday at around 2:30am. Yeah that early, I don't know why I was still up that late lol. Mine still says order is being fulfilled or something like that so I the order hasn't been processed but it does let me cancel it anymore. The estimated dates I have are earliest Dec. 1 and latest Dec. 8
Yeah the folks over at slickdeals who bought the tab are all arguing on if it has GPS or not and if it has a flash mem or a micro hard drive. HAHA! I can understand the GPS debate, but the other one is just plain stupid.
And the tab does have GPS:

Excited to get mine and hopefully soon!
EDIT: And none of the A500 tabs on acer's official website list anything about GPS, but they obviously do so I would assume that this one does too.
Hope this helps!
I have scouring Gamestop, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. and most places are either out of stock or selling at premium (Amazon 3rd party seller is selling at $340+).
I have thought about ordering from Nvidia directly, but they have high shipping cost AND I am not sure if they have it in stock themselves. I mean, if they are not going to deliver in 2-3 weeks, I rather go with Best Buy because they have the same delivery timeline but I got 10% cashback.
So if you just recently bought the tablet, can you share where did you get it from?

Yeah, there are many if these scalpers in Amazon and eBay. I refuse to support these people and won't event pay them $ 0.01 over the MSRP.
Just picked mine up today at Micro Center. Their website showed the store was out of stock but when I went there they were available.
Dabs.com UK have to wait for cover due in few days
Got mine from scan.co.uk, they sell the bundle with controller, 5 metre hdmi cable & cover which I bought for £315.
This came next day, they had some stock last time I checked.

Order mine for Bestbuy.com on 8/14 to be shipped to store still have not received it .
Gamestop. They had only one in stock.
I really wish NVidia would do more to market this... they're going to become the HTC of tablets... good products, no marketing support, and therefore no market share. And when nobody's buying the products, nobody's stocking them.
Amazon did have them in stock with Prime shipping for a couple hours this morning, back to only re-seller for now.

That seller doesnt ship to the UK, Besides, in the UK 2 years of warranty is standard whereas North Americans get only one year.
I picked my one up from scan.co.uk on launch day for £240 (14th Aug). Tablet only.
It is developing cracks on the underside.

Shield cover seems to be out of stock both company's I use dabs and novatech are for advanced orders been waiting since the 15th and still no god dam cover that goes for my new micro SD to Grrrrrr
Amazon a few days after launch. Just received my cover from Nvidia this week.
Ordered from amazon directly at 130 am, was just messing around when I saw this. BTW you can install an extension in chrome which will email you when a certain product hits a certain price or lower. It's called camel something, not by computer right now.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Free mobile app
Someone responded that he had tons of the tablets and reselling it online. Guess we now know why this tablet is rare. [emoji17]

Bought mine today on Nvidia since the only other one I can find is 70 miles away. It said it was in stock but I have no idea if it will ship on Monday or in a month. People on the forums said I'll probably get it in a week, but never get a shipping confirmation until after I get it... What is it with companies with green color schemes and poor shipping? (razer pulls the same **** with me and I end up getting products before I get tracking numbers).
