Any news on the 8GB MicroSDHC?

2 weeks ago, Sandisk announced that it was shipping an 8GB MicroSDHC card. Since then, I haven't heard anything. Many retailers show the card, but the stock indicators show pre-sale or out-of-stock. Does anyone have any information on U.S. availability?

Elite Electronics shows them coming in next Monday the 26th. They're already available in the UK.

and what about the samsung ones? (class 6)

It's showing on Expansys.com and Expansys.ca

Despite their web site showing these as in stock no-one has received anything from this shop yet and a number of orders have been cancelled by email.
There's a thread on Modaco.

I ordered one from Elite Electronix about a month ago and last week got this response when I asked for a status update:
"These units should arrive, and ship on November 26th. This is the revised ship date we have received. Thank you."

I also placed an order with Elite in mid-October and have been awaiting its arrival. Sounds like it may be delayed even more if the UK stocks haven't arrived. Bummer.

Here in Sweden/Halmstad one store has got them today

I've been following 3 other UK stores with similar prices, all of them hint at very close delivery dates:
MemoryBits - Expected "end of Nov"
Insight - Expected "Tomorrow", date updates everyday
MobiMemory - "expected 5-12 days" has been like this for at least 5 days.

A shop in Germany just let me know they'd ship it mid Dec.

does anyone know what speed Class these cards are?

SanDisk 8GB is supposed to be class 4.

Bought mine @ Circuit City's Verizon Kiosk
Verizon has them for $129.99. Works fine in my Cingular 8525 WM6.

This might help...

Funny, Can't find them in stock on-line anywhere, but I also dropped into a Verizon kiosk at Circuit City and snapped one up as well. Thanks for the tip! It does show C4 on the card.

Verizon does have them online for $129.99 with free shipping. Add tax and you're looking upwards of $140.

In Holland you can buy them in various places for about 90 euro's. I have one myself and they work great.

Thanks for the Verizon/Circuit City tip! Snagged one up finally - can't believe a brick and mortar has these over online retailers!

I picked one up today at my local Verizon store, and have cancelled my order with Elite Electronix (placed 45 days ago).

[INFO] UK/EU Keyboard Dock Availability and Tracking Thread

Just thought i'd get this thread started. No sites found so far.

It's on websites, it just comes back as not existing. So far seen it on the following sites:
Comet: http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711 which says discontinued but isn't available through normal product selection I found it via google. The product code 717711 is however the code on their systems.
PC World: It's available to select but then says it's no longer available
Amazon: Released June 1st
Laskys: Showing as Temporarily out of stock
Will follow this and update if either Comet or PC World receive any next week as I get 10% off both through my work so only really checking them. I have a mate who's a sales manager at the local PC World store and is going to phone head office and find out what's happening so will let you know when I hear.

Ebuyer.com also have the bundle on their website, with the same ETA as amazon.co.uk: 1st of June
It shows up on amazon.fr with a "coming soon" message.
A lot of Swiss websites have it listed (digitec.ch claims a late June date ETA for the dock, while others have a late May date, around 27-31).
Just a suggestion: it would be nice to modify the first post in this thread to include links to all websites listing it along with the ETA currently announced on each of them.

Anybody knows a good place to get a seperate keyboard? I read on the Asus UK FB that the retailers only ordered bundles, but are there still some (e-)shops that have them? I checked Amazon, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, Ebuyer, Laskys and PC World but they all sell bundles or tablets...

I hate to contradict you but nobody is selling the bundle in Europe as of now. They have it listed on their site but it's either not available for order or you can just pre-order (with an estimated availability date of 1st of June). The dock itself I've only seen in Switzerland, at digitec.ch, for 129 Swiss francs (~100 EUR, ~90 GBP).

That's what I meant, I know they don't ship the bundles out yet.
Thanks for the tip, Digitech seems to have a reasonable price. Downside is availability expected late June. Hopefully in those two months I've obtained one already!

laskys.com have both the tablet only and the bundle in stock, for those of you living in UK. They don't do international shipping unfortunately

Hi,
Scan are also showing pre-orders on these, with no date known: -
www DOT scan DOT co.uk/search.aspx?q=TF101
first post so no links for me.
Feels like i've been here for ages tho, read the entire bricked transformer thread to try and put me off. Still searching tho.

Comet are now showing delivery in 10 days of the bundle?

Comet are selling the bundle again for delivery on the 16th of May.

Asus Finland confirmed on a email that transformer Scandinavian keyboard should be coming out May.
Verkkokauppa.com is saying that they will have 16GB transformer+scandi keyboard package in 3-5 weeks.

I have just ordered with Comet for delivery on the 16th of May and cancelled my Amazon preorder as they still cannot say when they will be able to supply my order. I asked them where I was in the preorder queue to get an idea of timescale and they said they couldn't even access that information - useless.
At least if I have an issue with the unit supplied from Comet I can take it back to my local store as opposed to having to send it away to Amazon and wait for weeks.

Good find on Comet, I'll go in the local store tomorrow and see if they've got an update on stock coming in to the store as my discounted vouchers can't be used online.

annoying that you cant cancell your order on comet, ive already bought the non keyboard version, and now the have the keyboard version avaliable.

Laskys - in stock from 10th delivery 16th May?
Spoke to Laskys.com (UK) - expecting tablet/dock bundle on the 10th May and posted (free at the mo) for 16th same as Comet IIRC - if you go through Topcashback you get £15 cash back !!

Went into Comet today and got my first hands on with the tablet only and has confirmed I definitely want one I managed to connect it to my SGSII WiFi and gave the guy the product code for the bundle so he checked on the system which said stock is coming into the distribution center on 10th so will be in store by 16th or 17th which is why delivery from the site is that date too.

Anyone who ordered dock from Asus got it yet or been informed when they will receive it
sent from my E Pad Transformer........without a leedroid rom :-(

Thanks testicle! i went ahead and ordered. through topcashback. Delivery date estimate is currently for the 15th of May

Think I will cancel my order tomorrow from Comet and but the keyboard version from them.

Not to be nitpicking but the UK is in the EU just so you know OP.

Am flying from Belgium to Toronto on Saturday...

...is there a place you know I could pick one up ? They don't sell here yet

try some stores out like bestbuy, futureshop and staples. go to those individual websites and try searching for the nexus 7 in their inventories. call whichever location says the item is in stock. I know staples is giving 10% off with a coupon for 27th and 28th July if I'm not mistaken. bestbuy website shows that they have few in stock surprisingly.

i have been checking those websites, canadian version, for a week now, all sold out

staples seems to be the best for ordering online. but you will have to walk into individual stores to get it otherwise. I'm in brampton 20 min away from the airport there is a best buy there that has them.

Nexus 7 availability in Japanese retail outlets?

Hi,
I am off to Japan next week and even though all the news reports on 25th Sept say that it is available there and the retail stores that should be stocking it I cannot find any details on their websites.
Whilst I am there for a week I will not be able to order it through the Google Play store.
Anyone seen them in the shops and how much are they selling for?
Thanks
Russ

[Q] Complete pricing of Nexus in the US and elsewhere

Hi there. I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't really find such a thread.
Coming back to the topic. I am thinking of getting Nexus 4 from US through my cousin who lives there. As I browsed the SHOP NOW page at Google play store, it showed the price $ 349.00 for 16 gb version. What I want to know is that:
- what will be the final price of the device including the TAXES & SHIPPING to Stanton, California?
- and as Google has mentioned a few countries where it will officially launch the device and people can order it online. Does it mean the actual product will ship from the US to (lets say) Australia? Which means the shipping will dramatically increase? Will it?
Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on it.
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone please reply

I can't answer you about US taxes, but when I bought my Nexus 7 direct from Google play (I'm in UK) they were dispatched within the UK. Well from Northern Ireland, but it's still technically a part of the UK. The delivery charge was £10, which is typical here in the UK. I'm sure they are dispatched locally if they are purchased within the officially released countries, or it wouldn't really make logistical sense for every individual order to be dispatched from the US worldwide.
So, if Australia was an official country, it would be dispatched from there, or somewhere close enough.

Appreciated. Thank you very much for your response.

As Makaijin has said before, it's not shipped from the US all over the globe but rather the local distribution centres. For the U.K. it's from the U.K. but here in Australia, stuff gets shipped from Singapore (it was for the Nexus 7 at least). Thank God Australia's an official launch country .

Ahan, Any idea about the TAXES one has to pay? As in, how much (tax) would one pay for this phone in the US?
and what generally are shipping charges in the US?

Going off the Nexus 7 @ $250 I paid $283 out the door. I believe California has 7-8% sales tax so that should be around $28 in tax plus I recall 2 day shipping on the Nexus 7 was $12. I'd say your out the door would be right at or just over $400.
