Long line still?
lines aren't bad. I was actually one of the first 50 but gave up my spot after talking to the Samsung rep. they're quite disorganized tho
i got there at 11am. i was honestly turned off by the whole experience. the Samsung reps don't know when they will be shipping the grey models. they just told me to keep checking. it really seemed like they were not ready to release this thing yet.
Any word on when the 8.9 will be available?

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.
Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.
i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.
I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?
I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

i asked.. Samsung rep couldn't tell, Best Buy employee didn't know. there really was that disconnect. i also asked them if there was an option for those of us there that showed up - if we could get some sort of email or phone notification if the model we wanted came in stock at the store.. nope. no luck

i waited this long already. i can wait another week or so
I'm personally not upset the white 16gb was wat i wanted anyways, but i forgot about the leather sleeve, since i doubt the sold 200.
Anybody in the area stop in and see how many of these are still left in stock or estimate of how many has been sold?
I'd be curious to know.

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.
so its safe to say their strategy was a smashing failure. hope this expedites their worldwide launch. they should've premiered elsewhere

That is a bit disappointing
I was going to attempt to make a trip out.. glad I didn't.
I pre-ordered mine on bestbuy.com and got 18 months no interest financing (not that I need it or care for it, I guess it is just kind of cool to get)
Just as a side note, does this best buy have a parking? Hey, its NYC and parking is tough
They do not.

So I'm creating this thread to track availability/delivery of the 32 GB version of the Asus Transformer. I pre-ordered the 32 GB version from Amazon 3 am CST on the 26th, and my order indicates the following.
"Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date. You can cancel at any time."
I haven't heard of any 32 GB availability as of yet and thought it'd be good to see when people actually start getting their hands on these units. I've seen on sites like CDW an estimated availability of May 14th?
Please add any info, links or dates you've seen as to when the 32 GB Transformers might start shipping.
Same deal for me. I'm giving them two more weeks to ship, which I think is beyond a reasonable expectation for a model they say launched. If it doesn't come in by then I'll cancel and just wait for the newer tablets coming out in June/July.
I am in the same boat. Ordered from Amazon at 3AM EST. Keeping my fingers crossed that these exist and just didn't go out with the first batch. If I can just get it within a week or two I will be happy, three to four weeks I will be slightly disappointed at the wait, and anything longer I will probably move on to Samsung.
Yea I'm given it till May 13th or thereabouts to get it out. Hoping its just a matter of Asus actually delivering them to amazon/other retailers, similar to the dock at the current moment.
I'd maybe cancel and go to the tab if it has a price somewhere in the same ball park as the transformer. Any other tablets out there that will be coming out in June/July that would compare - samsungs is only one i know of at the moment unless there is some google/nexus tablet annouced at Google I/O.
Samsung, Google and Amazon are the ones I hear about. Of course only the Samsung is solid. Dell I suppose but they seem to be way behind the curve so far. Sony will probably be very late to market and overpriced, nothing new there!
Not many replies, could we be seeing a substantially lower demand for the 32gb?
Does this bode well for us? I mean if demand is low and Asus knows it they may focus on the 16gb and leave us hanging. Alternatively they may push out a bunch of 32gb in the knowledge they'll still move and do so at a more profitable point.
I pre ordered from BnH, but no idea shipping date. I have the Acer, but will most likely be trading that back in before the two weeks at BB. Honeycomb, at least on the Acer, has been a buggy experience. Would love the Acer if it had a 32GB model, but who knows how long until they even arrive from Asus, so who knows.
Also, don't buy a Samsung product like the tab, Samsung mobile products are over priced garbage the last few years. Just ask any honest Sprint salesman. Samsung's Q/A sucks and they have poor quality products'

I pre-ordered the 32gb on the 26th (12am for me) from Amazon. It would be nice to have it before my birthday, but I'm sure its not going to take that long.

me too. pre-ordered at TG initially and then Amazon (initially with Target and then subsequently via amazon directly). Have cancelled the Target-using-Amazon and TG. Hopefully this will arrive soon. Else am moving on. It might either be the Toshiba or Samsung.

That's my plan too. I pre-ordered the 32gb from J&R at 1:00pm on the 26th.
I sat and watched people buy the 16gb from newegg. I think I could have got one, but I wanted the 32gb. We'll see what happens.
I might call J&R tomorrow to see if they know anything (but I doubt they do.) From what I've read they seem to be the most honest of the stores selling this thing.
I will report back if I hear anything.
I have an order with AAFES and a Preorder with Amazon. No word on when either will ship though.
From CSR at Amazon. They expect it to ship on June8! time to move on?
I ordered from B&H as well. No word. I will also give it 2 weeks.
Walmart had it for a few seconds/minutes. Hopfully the CSR at amazon was wrong.
In the same boat...
Hello all. Just checking in. I've got a preorder in with Target through Amazon as well. I'll be watching this thread and I'll post something if I hear anything through the grapevine (or the accounts page). I'm thinking maybe a simultaneous "launch" for the 32 Gb and the dock around 5/14? Thoughts?

Wow. Thats awful, I wonder if the 16gb i ordered to replace my xoom will be quicker.
I think Amazon is giving everybody a date in June for anything to do with the Transformer so that they can surprise customers instead of letting them down if something further delays the items. I am personally keeping my fingers crossed for a dual release of the 32GB and the keyboard within the next two weeks.

Sure hope this isn't true. I kinda doubt a Amazon CSR would have inside knowledge as to when they are getting them from Asus. I too passed on ordering the 16 GB elsewhere, and kinda kicking myself now. But with a 32 micro SD sitting on my desk I'll hopefully have a 64 GB tablet in matter of a few weeks!
Saw that the walmart page went live indicating in stock (now out of stock) - thinking it was an error but interested to see if people get tracking #s.

Amazon definitely suprises far more often than disappoints.
I would auto refresh the Walmart.com order page.
It came up twice for me. The first time I was in the process of ordering and it popped up that the item was out of stock during the order process. The second time it popped up the page refreshed when I saw it and it was out of stock.
I think they are populating as they arrive and are being sold. But, it could be a glitch in their system.
Someone else on the other thread was able to successfully place an order.
I just snatched a 16GB one from Fry's. Seems Fry's are getting some 16GB ones at store locations in dribbles now. Gotta check for in store pickup. Might check for 32GB versions there as well periodically.
I remember specifically on Engadget and now when Google numerous sites say June 16th. But yet now I'm hearing the 17th ? Which is pretty bananas as I took off Thursday working a double Friday.
I've always heard it was the 17th, on Friday.
Here is the press release from samsung.com.
http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19862&page=1&gltype=localnews
"Premium Android Honeycomb Tablet with Ultra-slim, Lightweight Design and Brilliant 10-inch Touchscreen Available Exclusively at Best Buy Union Square Store in New York City Starting June 8; Available Nationwide Starting June 17"
Though maybe you could get lucky and find a retailer that starts selling early?
PS. Maybe online retailers will start shipping on the 16th so that it could arrive at customers homes by the 17th?

no it's been the 17th. i just hope that samsung doesn't pull another fast one and make it a release for New Jersey only now, and push the "official" release again another week

(With Extreme Sarcasm) What on earth would make you think a company would ever try to do something like that??
I mean gosh that would be like telling everybody the update for your phone you made is coming soon then releasing it six months later.
Or like vague references to Dual Application Processor and then start using the actual brand name a few days before launch.
Or like telling everyone your tablet you make is launching on a specific date only to launch in one store that date and pushing back the full launch one week
Or like telling everyone that folks in your one store launch can only have one specific model after they lined up after hearing about your one store launch two-step move.....
Or like showing an MicroSD card slot on your tablet at every conference and uTube video only to launch without one and require a non existant cellular radio version purchase to *possibly* have a MicroSD card slot.
(And I preordered a Galaxy Tab. I guess Samsung is to me what a abusive white trash husband is to his spouse. Beat me as you may, I will always come back....)

I actually work at Best Buy, and was shocked to find out they're pulling the stock of TF300's from the shelves in anticipation of the Infinity series. Kind of pissed since I bought Best Buy-specific damage protection (which would have gotten me a new unit if I bricked or damaged mine), but what can you do about it?
Seems odd they'd release a tablet in April and only have it on shelves for 3-4 months. That's not nearly enough time to get any exposure to the masses who flock to the Apple section.

I guess they weren't making money out of the TF300T, I hope they don't discontinue the tf300t in another's stores.
Hi all, just letting people know of the deal over at currys/pc world where you can get the tablet for £399 and get a cash back of £50 after 21 days.

I was on the fence with this, but this priced pushed me over the edge and ended up upgrading my 2012 model this morning. If anyone has put up with the lag on the last model, they will absolutely love this model. There's a night and day difference in speed and this is before I've updated it.
I'm just trying to hold out from rooting it until custom roms come about as I can guarantee this'll be the best tablet on the market without a doubt once it's been slimmed down and optimised. Extremely happy with the purchase, even more so for that price.
Now back to playing PVZ2 in hi-res. Beautiful!
The £50 cash back only appears to apply to the white model.

Web site says £399 is price after the cash back.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If the tablet is £300+ you get £50.
I can't link it but click on Full Terms Apply it'll show you.
The Official price is still £450 but with the cash back deal they allow you to buy it at £400.
BUT they do say that any purchase over £300 gives you cash back of £50, so I do hope you can claim the £50 because I think they have made a hash of things on their site, just like their description haha.
Anyways hopefully it works out coz that would be a canny deal.
You would be stupid to not buy this amazing tab this cheap.
You need to reread the website, £399 is the price AFTER the £50 cashback has been taken off.
So its 449, minus the £50, which is £399, which is the price they show.
EDIT Oh I see now, it looks like they've messed it up with a misprice? They sell it for £399 cash... hopefully the cashback will still apply

I would try it you have nothing to lose, Might be an interesting legal argument on the wording especially as to the "advertised price".
"Discount" or "cashback" 2 different sales definitions.
Go for it.
John Lewis is cheaper at £399 ... and they have the choice of the black and white models of the sm-p600
Just so the UK bros know - im working on a ROM, so dont worry about feeling left out or anything, we will definitly have some good stuff coming soon.
Definitely £399 - £50 = £349 after cash back
Just to clarify. They know it's not a mispriced as that's how it's being advertised in store as £349 (after cash back). Trust me I paid £399 for and received a coupon to claim the cash back after 21 days (the same length of time they no longer refund you if it becomes faulty) and before 60 days (picture taken with the Note 2014 in low light).
@punkmilitia I know right. I wondering if it'd be considered stupid to NOT buy one for my wife also even though I know she wouldn't half use it Thanks for not forgetting us tea drinkers as I'm dying for a rom. I have to ask when do you reckon will see these pouring through.
Thanks!

agreed that currys/pc world's web pages are confusing for this. the page for the white model says that £399 is after discount, the page for the black model doesn't say that. At first I thought it was the price for the original note 10.1, but the pictures are definitely for the 2014 model. The specs seem all over the place on the page as well, the processors are correct, but the o/s, ram, camera and weight look wrong to me.

I think what they mean by price after discount is that it use to be £449 in store, but later dropped it to £399 to match John Lewis and avoid having to pay the 10% difference they offer. The £50 cash back is only received after applying for it 21 days later.
I first thought it was for the older model too, but this is definitely a 2014 edition in front of me lol.

I suspect someone may have got wind of this and bought them all for ebay as these are bound to go back up to £450 and even still sell for that now over there. Who knows they may get some stock back in before the end of the year.

@punkmilitia I know right. I wondering if it'd be considered stupid to NOT buy one for my wife also even though I know she wouldn't half use it Thanks for not forgetting us tea drinkers as I'm dying for a rom. I have to ask when do you reckon will see these pouring through.
Thanks!

Personally - im aiming to release a rom when kitkat arrives. It includes tons of features and saves a lot of battery. I get 15 hours a day use now and it was about 11 hours vanilla. I might release it earlier though depending on demand.

KitKat! :crying: It took us ages to get jelly bean on the original note and I'm sure their flagship S4 just got 4.3 throwing us even further down the list. Of course beggars can never be choosers, however I wasn't going to get this tablet due to the lack of custom roms being available and I'm sure there are many who haven't for this reason.
As you know, Samsung make great devices, but clearly don't care when it comes to optimisation (it's spelt (omg it's correcting that too) with an s not a z stop correcting me!) and instead just keep adding more junk leaving them less stable. As much as I love my note right now, I won't be setting it up 100% as I know I'll be doing it all again the moment a sexy rom becomes available.
Conclusion: everyone start begging.
Hopefully this gives us an idea of when they will be released for other carriers.. I don't know about you guys, but I'm anxious Mod Edit Please mind your language

Finally some good news about the note edge. Been waiting for this kind of news since the announcement during their live stream
That's very good.
Only 10days off from the said Nov 4th release.
In that case tmobile should start taking preorders Nov 1st. That would be 2 weeks before launch. I believe they did the same amount of time with the note 4.
Now if we could get a price that would be nice. Either way im going to do my best to get it day one.
Lucky you guys!
My only option is looking like one of those from ebay. I am not sure if the Exynos version is the right one?
Just spent £650 on the Note 4...
u guys think that amazon or ebay will sell unlocked note edge units from t-mobile to the middle east? im wondering if it will be cheaper there.

I know ebay will.
If people buy them and pay in full they can get the unlock code that same day.
I did that with my note 3. I got it from the tmobile store and paid in full and i was able to ask for the unlock code online.
So i bet you will see them on ebay a week after release for $100 to $200 more then tmobile site plus shipping.
I doubt amazon will have any. I don't see any third party sites having them, best buy, radio shack, etc... There have been reports if only 1 more llion devices to be released due to strict protype details and this is basically a marketing scheme. Now I can't wait. I want the N4 bad, but I'm liking the NEdge.
I also don't see many carriers having them in store either. Looks more like a preorder thing. Unless they do an Apple and only release at stores for the hype and line build.
Snap crackle and pop it lol......
Tmobile update there site saying it will come out 11/14

I have no clue. I dont jump on my side. I was going to use my EIP credit to get the phone and then sell my note 3 on ebay.
My girls line has JUMP! When i last talk to Tmobile they said that you must have paid at lest 50% of your phone off. They will take your old phone and give you 50% of the priced of the phone when you brought it. and that would be credited towards your new phone.
NOw that is for a normal trade. I dont know who it would work for Pre-orders tho.
If you got a tmobile account just get online and do an online chat and ask about using jump on a preorder phone. Dont tell them up front about the note edge or they will tell you they dont have any information on it.
I did a chat with tmobile a few minutes ago about preordering the note edge and they just said they dont have any information but to watch the page as it will be updated soon.
Is T-Mobile even doing pre-orders?

I'm interested in the Note Edge as well but I'm really hoping T-Mobile will have pre-ordering online.
Also, I'm kind of scared about how some people who have it in other regions are experiencing lag. The Note 4 has been receiving decent reviews and nobody has been mentioning any lag so since the Note Edge is basically a Note 4 with an edge screen, you would think the performance would be about the same.

Hope That's true I spoke to them yesterday for a half hour , and just got off the phone , I asked for retention so could get to talk to someone who really knows what there talking about not some parrot reading off of a computer screen , which is what I got yesterday , I hammered the question about 5 times about being able to pre order , even went as far as saying I know someone who pre ordered , (which was a little white lie to see what he would say) and he insisted that there was not not and never will be a preorder on that phone , seeing as how the will be on store shelves in 8 days not sure what help pre ordering or how much faster you would get your hands on the phone sooner then 8 days , I really hope you are correct and I was totally misled , guess we'll see Monday ........:good:

I believe the price is going to be in the 900 $ range ..plus tax , screen protector and case , this will probably be the most expensive phone sold the general public ever , I believe your going to pay aroung 1,000 when all is said and done , hope I'm wrong but that's what my research is telling me...

Yea I got the price range its said to be 850 to $870 plus tax.. Its not the highest I paid for a phone tho lol.
I brought a sony p990 which cost about $1100 some years ago.
And I already order me a screen protector and silicone case. Should be here right before the phone. The cases were $2 each and screen protector $4.
Edit.
Also some have said tmobile will start preorder on the 10th but who knows, all we know is it will be released the 14th
I also hope Tmobile does online preorders because I don't want to go from store to store seeing if they have any in stock and taking the chance that they may already be sold out by the time I get to each store.
Countdown!!!
Three more days to pre-order this bad boy. Can't wait. Going with T-Mobile $870 model. Ouch!!! Expensive but did you see AT&T price??? $945....Super OUCH!!! But....have to get it. Looking forward to see what DEVS get involved with this phone!!!! See you all soon!

I must say my Edge seems way more smoother than my Note 4. Obviously Edge has the Exynos processor, and Note 4 has Snapdragon. My main concern right now is high RAM usage, I only have around 350MB free ram. Hope Samsung does something to improve this. The good news is that, I haven't had any issues of the device heating up at all so far which is great!
I just dropped by a local corporate store and they had no info on pre orders.
I even went to att since I read somewhere that on the 7th they would have a demo phone. They didn't have one. I was told that 11-17 is the release date.
