Preorder page is updated on bestbuy.com now but it not quite functional yet. Looks like they're in the middle of adding the 4 sku numbers for 16/32gb grey/white.

Has anyone tried to call and preorder. Tired of hitting refresh lmao
Does it ship internationally?
Yeah, and so much for the rumors that the price might be revised to compete with the Transformer. Fail for me.
Pre-Order just worked for me...Or at least it went through.

Also available to preorder at Tigerdirect + a few accessories (keyboard dock and leather book case)
Preordered. Now we wait
Best Buy requires US credit card
No in store pickup option..... I would rather not wait for shipping if they're available on release day in store! what to do - what to do...
preordered from TD. With the TF they delivered on release day, so keeping my fingers crossed. Now to sell off the TF + dock!!
What the point to pre-order this when the est. arrival date is 06/17-06/24/2011
by that time other retailers will have it and Amazon will probably have it and ship next day for $4 more or 2 day Free Prime and no tax for me. Can't believe they don't include the MicroSD slot. I'd like to get one for the fun of it.
Amazon now have it up for pre-order. No mention of colour but images show it as the grey model. This is the green light for you guys outside the US!
It does not ship outside US

You have to use a forwarding / shipping service like BongoUS, shipitto, myus etc. Amazon is one of the few to play friendly with foreign credit cards and billing addresses.
On the german Amazon website the 3G modell can be preordered (black and white).

Allright, I just registered with BongoUS ... Looks good from what I see and read.

It is the grey model on Amazon. You can tell by the Model #: GT-P7510MAVXAB. I looked on Best Buy website and it matches the grey model #. The MAY is the 16gb and the MAV is the 32gb in the model #.

Nothing on Amazon UK just yet.
Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!

At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

If I recall correctly Play don't charge your card until the item is ready to post. I've found they are rubbish when emailing, so I just call them and they are fine on the phone.

The model on Play has the 10.1v specs, not the 10.1 specs -- be careful.
Right, I received the correct reply from Play.com, ref my enquiry as to why the price is so high on their web site. They're investigating.

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...
the title describe well the topic...i found the transformer discounted at 300 euro in a shop and i'm keen to buy it, it is good enough? keeping in mind that my budget is max 400 euros and i'll be using it mainly for reading and surfing the net (and maybe some video).
P.S how is fair with a stylus?
thanks and sorry for my English (i'm Italian)

Please provide more information, like
does it include the keyboard dock?
what is the memory size? 16g or 32g?
it's the 16 gb version without keyboard.
In a shop? Still boxed and untouched? A steal IMO!
unfortunatly the 16gb version are the ones being exposed (so not totally untouched) and hardly available, tomorrow i'll try to see the last shop because today is closed.
In the meantime i found the 32gb discounted to 399 euro and this is unboxed and untouched....is it a good deal the 32 gb?

Not a good buy at all, your best deal is with Amazon which is cheaper and with 32g storage capacity. Here's their prices:
Amazon prices tablet only (forex 1 euro = 1.32 dollars)
Brand new 32g 340 euro
.................16g 292 euro
Used like new 32g 258 euro you save 42 euro
.....................16g 218 euro you save 82 euro
Your best buy is the 32g used like new for 258 euros if you can order it from Amazon. The Transformer I bought was a 32g for 240 euros and it works perfectly upgrading to ICS. Good luck!

It costs 54 euros more than the current prices at Amazon, but since your max limt is 400 then it should be ok. Much, much better if you can order from Amazon though because you can return easily if something is not working or broken.
thanks tedr44, i checked amazon but unfortunatly the only one who ships to Italy it will cost 399 dolars so 305 euro without shipping (transformer 32gb used) and i'm keen to buy it. Is it safe to make such purchase in case the tablet is damaged during the shipment?sorry for my boobness but it's first time purchasing from amazon.COM.
EDIT: the price of the 32gb used with shipment is 365 euro and without taxes....so not convenient.
Get the one that is in the shop near you, if anything would be wrong with it after all you can return there. It´ll save you a headache

Amazon has a very good record when it comes to customer service, if you have their phone number you may want to call and inquire about their policy on returning damaged shipments. But in my experience, Amazon will always try to correct any problem you may have because they want you to come back to them for future business. Why don't you try so you have the experience to order online for the first time with Amazon?
Amazon's customer service is amazing. They also have the most lenient return policy I have ever seen.
If there is even a slight problem with your purchase, they will take care of it.
i know that amazon is a good service, i purchased lots of things from amazom.IT, but was concerned about buying used goods. however i realized that buying from USA is not a good deal after the shipment cost and taxes (in italy you have to pay 21% of the price), in fact the 32 gb used will be over 400 euro.
so i'll try the last shop which opens in 2 hours, otherwise i'll wait for new discounts or buy it for the normal price 338 euro....
quite indecisive because i don't know if it's better to wait later or not to buy a good tablet for less than 400, i've read about google tablet but i prefer a 10 inch one.
thanks you guy for your advice
300 bucks is a good deal if you can't come up with the extra 200 for the prime.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
unfortunatly all the transformer 16gb were sold. now i'm indecided whether buying it at 340 euro or wait..what do you think is better?
I would wait, the price of the transformers is dropping fast. I was able to pick up a 16GB model over here in the states with KB dock for $250. This was probably an especially good deal, but I can't see the price going anywhere but down.
Does Europe have a Craigslist or similar online classified listings? That is where I would look.
for italy there is ebay, where i found the transformer 16 gb for 250 euro, hoping no one raise the price higher in the next 24 hour....if the price will be under 280 maybe i'll buy it even though is used.
sorry for the double post but wanted to bump the post for attention.....i founded an acer iconia tab a 500 for 299 euro with 32gb, what do you think?

I'd really recommend purchasing through a vendor who will handle issues for you, or offers their own warranty if you are going with ASUS.
My current RMA has resulted in:
Receiving another customers tablet.
Receiving back my tablet, without the charger they asked me to send in, and with the same issue it was sent in for.
Receiving a charger without the adapter to plug it into the socket.
This is still ongoing, and when you call support, they just say, we'll escalate, and someone will call you in 2 days if you ask to speak to a manager, or have an issue.
The device was great while it worked, but I'd personally look for a vendor who is good with returns and/or offers a 3rd party warranty.
i'm sorry for the problem your facing michiganenginerd and i heard the same thing for the transformer prime (was going to buy it a month ago). I'm quite settled to buy the used iconia a500 (32gb) for 299 (with valid warranty) because is perfect fo my purpose (reading and surfing thenet).
IS it ok?

I am evaluating various service providers including DHL and Fedex. They surely are a bit overpriced but you can be confident of their services at least.
I'm thinking of using BorderLinx or Shipito. Their price is more reasonable than DHL or Fedex or UPS, too.
And I was a bit surprised that I was able to use my Japanese credit card to purchase two Nexus 4's (I have to use a US billing address, but somehow the bank still OKed with that). Next time prolly I'll just have it shipped directly to Shipito (they offer OR address - so no sale tax) instead of my friend's address.
Holy molly, I just read this news:
http://pe.usps.com/Lithium_Battery_Update.asp
And this:
http://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2012/pb22350/html/updt_002.htm
That means that we can send our phones through USPS. That should save me a lot of money!! Anyone in the US could bother to check this out for me?

I've mailed phones / electronics with batteries several times via USPS. If they've noticed, they haven't cared.
Did you mail them internationally? The rule doesn't apply to domestic shipments though.
AFAIK, now they do indeed allow batteries with international shipping

Well, according to usabox.com, the package I just got on my postal box at their offices is 10x6x6 inches. These numbers seem to have been rounded up, so they tell you the size upper limit of the package. I guess it is a little bit smaller.
EDIT: I just got my package!!
The box originally used by the Google carrier is 23.4 x 13.5 x 13.3 (just measured before opening it, all in cm), the declared weight 2 lbs.
Hope this info heps.
This thread is for Xperia Tablet Z owners. Owners can discuss
which version of the tablet they bought
when they bought it
for how much did they buy it
and then discuss the general feedback, issues with the tablet, help each other out.
Me myself will be buying the tablet next week when it launches in India.
I've pre-ordered the 32GB black version of the Xperia Tablet Z for €549 + the official Sony leather case in black, which was only €40 instead of €80 during the pre-order period. I'm really looking forward to receive it! (just hoping that the availability date of 22 May is correct...)
Preordered mine from Sony about a month ago when they offered the 10% discount. So got it at about £360. Only got the 16GB version as I can expand on micro sd which I personally think would be more than sufficient for my usage.
On the Sony website it states that it has been handed to their shipping partners and it is on their way. So hopefully it'll get to me on time (fingers cross for it arriving early ) Can't wait to share my experience.
also an almost owner. should be in my hands on Tuesday.
ordered the 32gig wifi version with dock for around 530 euros
quite nice of them to have put that 10% discount on it that day
now im afraid i can't sleep anymore

well ahead of the May 24 expectation they set on the US Sony Store. Purchased the 16GB WiFi unit via our Corporate Perks EPP agreement - $449.99 USD + tax. Ordered it last week.
I got drunk the other night and pre-ordered the 16GB LTE version for € 628,99 + 80 for the flipcover from sony.nl, did I make a mistake? I never bought a device without thoroughly reading reviews and analyzing benchmarks. I hope the screen is better than the experia z but I have no idea

I couldn't find any retailer, heck even this subforum didn't exist
Purchased a 32GB black wifi model from Japan from Yodobashi for 59800 yen which worked out after conversion to be 590AUD. Tried to get the cradle as well but they're sold out over there. Am hoping to buy the cradle once the Australian release happens (June).
The tablet Z is really nice, first thing most people say is that it's so thin and light which at 500 grams it is quite surprising!
The Throw feature and remote app has definitely come in handy when I'm on the couch and the remote is too far away
