[INFO] US 32 GB Asus Transformer Availability Tracking

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.

London Galaxy Note Launch

Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?

Go to Clove.co.uk
Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.
I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!
I'm so confused

I'm not sure what they are planning to do. Would be nice with a live stream. I would love to see it and see if they are saying anything about ICS update.

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??

Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K
Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......

It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)

The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.
Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.
I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.
By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.

Here is a site giving more details of the London Launch.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.

Why no pre order?

I'm just curious as to why Google is not offering pre orders? Are they planning on pushing the release date back last minute? To me it doesn't make sense. With how many hundreds of thousands of people all trying to purchase one of these at midnight the minute it becomes available, I can for see the Google play store being overloaded and Google not being able to process orders efficiently. A pre order makes sense to me.

The same thing would happen no matter what date they put on it. If they started accepting preorders tomorrow, there would be the exact same situation then as on the 13th.
I think it'll take a couple of days for them to get the initial orders shipped out.

I'm expecting a logistics fail just like the N7. My guess is they just don't want it to be as bad, so they are pulling pre-order out of the equation.
I'm going to wait till after thanksgiving and save myself the headache of wondering if/when it'll ship and if I'll actually be around or not to sign for it.

One reason..... Nexus Q.
In theory, if needed, Google could push the release another month, and nobody could gripe.

I kind of hoping they will use the signup for notification as a kind of tool to reduce the rush. Maybe when they contactus that the Nexus 4 is available then they will include some kind of code that will place our order in line with when we showed interest. Any that did not show interest will have to wait until after they fill the interested request. At least I would like something like that.

Not quite. If they put pre orders up today, they would have until the 13th to get it all straightened out. So even if the play store crashed right now, they at least have 5 days to process any orders already in there. Waiting until the 13th to accept any payments is a recipe for disaster.

And really they could have all these orders processed and ready to ship. Software update would be pushed ota as soon as the customer turns on the phone and sets up their Google account.
Not sure why Google wouldn't do the background work ahead of time like taking orders.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

To be honest I am not surprised and am pleased google realized the nexus 7 pre order was a disaster. If they can not handle the volume like apple, stop the pre order so that they can honestly forecast when they will ship. I know many of you will not like my opinion but I was not happy with my nexus 7 pre order process. I will gladly wait until launch date for the nexus 4.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

But what I'm trying to say is if say 300,000 people all place an order as soon as they can which will overload the play store, wouldn't it make more sense to have it overloaded BEFORE launch date? That way they have a few days to get it up and running again? If 300,000 people placing an order at once crashes the play store, why would u want it to happen on launch day? For arguments sake, say it takes 3 days to restore the servers and get up and running again. I would rather those 3 days be Friday Saturday and Sunday, not Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. To me its a no brainer. Preorders always make sense to me IMO.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

Google play customer support told me the only reason why they would have pre orders is to have an estimate of how many units to manufacture but the nexus 4 is already in mass production and should be ready to meet consumer needs. Only downfall is we'll probably prove them wrong lol

Wow... people really whine about not being able to order an item before its for sale?
Its like crying for not being able to pay for something earlier with no effect on how quick I'll get it. It wouldn't be faster, there's a reason why they take orders the 13th of November instead of the 11 or 12th. You pre-order wouldn't be "sitting in boxes" waiting for a date to flip for the sake of it.
They start taking orders the 13th. Don't expect to get it the 14th either
Probably 3-5 processing days. And processing isn t just sorting boxes, it can just as much be that they don't get the actual device for a few more days.
Anyways, I really hope that you don't cry at your landlord that you would like to pay for your rent in advance.

I dont think you read my post. A pre order option does absolutely NO HARM. I work in sales and deal with purchase orders on an every day basis. I know for a fact that if I want to ship material out on the 13th, I would like to have the purchase order BEFORE HAND. Its called being prepared. You make sure you have the inventory. You make sure you have the payment. You make sure you have the shipping address. You make sure you have the order correct. Its called the background work. Contract Review. If a customer issued a purchase order to me on the 13th wanting their purchase to ship on the 13th, it is most likely not going to happen. ESPECIALLY when how many hundreds of thousands of people are issuing their purchase orders ALL AT ONCE. If Google wants to say the 13th is the release date for shipping, then having a preorder option is the best solution. If they want to say the 13th is when they start accepting payment, then really that is just a preorder itself. Because I can assure you that everyone who places an order on the 13th will not have their phone shipped that day. Yes I am aware of processing times and everything. What I am trying to say is you have the processing time taking place before the phone is set to ship. You have your orders in place, payment accepted, an understanding of how many devices are going out and to where and when. That kind of stuff can be done before the phone is even ready to ship. Its not rocket science. So take a minute and think logically about what you are saying before you reply.

It's not impossible that the 13th is only the start of the pre-orders, though that would be really mean of Google. As their site very vaguely states,

Explain to me exactly what part in there tells you "shipping"?
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th.
My point is... their PLAN is probably not to start SHIPPING the 13th, probably the 14th or 15th. That is the best wording you could use for that purpose.
I doubt it is pre-order starting the 13th though. But no reason to expect getting a device before the 20th or so.

[Q] When again

Anyone knows when our beloved N4 will be available again? Any official statement besides it is sold out? Surely I am not the only did not put my order through :crying:
rumor round up, Nov 15
1, some suggest to check in on Friday, confirmed by google + and some T Mo stores
2, google backorder mail suggests to give your F5 a 3-week vacation
3, email from google support says "soon" but do not know how soon
Nov 16
1, For those who want to order from Negri (http://negrielectronics.com/lg-e960-nexus-4-16gb-unlocked-black.html#.UKYW7IdQS3E), there is a coupon code you can use: 10offsite will take $10 off. Cheers!
2, reported by some threads: today several lucky ones were told that their phones are on the way as we speak, after receiving BO mail yesterday.
3, no word on when it will be available again for the rest of us...keep waiting
4, got a word from google support that the N4 will be in stock and the price will NOT be changed. This is to respond to some rumors saying play store will not sell it for a while, so the local electronic stores (not ebay) in different countries can gain some, because some will be forced to pay higher price. Certainly hope google keeps the promise to sell us N4 soon.
5, rumor has it that India will receive N4 on Nov 30. This might suggest when the 2nd wave comes!
Nov 18
New rumor: the 2nd batch comes in a few days!
Note again, it is just a rumor from a blog: Nexus 4…weeks away? “Days” according to Play Support

No one knows. Hell, we didn't even know when the thing went on sale yesterday. It was just a feeding frenzy!

No

No.
Edit: I managed to order a 16gb 1 minute after it became available here, but I really feel bad for you, man. On the bright side, early adopters are gonna get screwed with a lot of issues. Sorry, man. Hopefully it becomes available soon.

google play store plays us
maybe then we can just decide to sleep when we are tired and not to refresh the website any chance we get.

is this the official statement from google?

Why?
We have just some 4-5 weeks to go until the end of the year, so "in coming weeks" could easily mean "mid/end January".
Quite possible if you think, that industry is currently scrambling to produce enough stock for Christmas and will be mostly idling afterwards. So google could use it to produce more N4s.

I just hope there will be plenty of stock eventually instead of all this selling out nonsense.
I was online and had the opportunity to buy the 8GB version but i was confused, i looked at the 16GB version and still said "Coming Soon" so i thought it hadn't gone on sale yet, little did i realise it had already been and gone :laugh:
So while i was waiting the 8GB version sold out too, gutted.

Might be reading too much into the Google+ Post but:
There’s been so much interest for the Nexus lineup that we’ve sold out of some of our initial stock in a few countries!

If they sell the second batch in mid-january, this means making everyone wait 2 months.
2 months is a lot, especially if you have no guarantee that in 2 months' time stocks will be enough for everybody.
The problem with phones is that they age very quickly, and the sooner people get them, the more they are likely to keep them.
I, to conclude, really hope that we will see a second sale next week. Even if stock is going to be, if possible, even lower, it doesn't matter: angry people will stay angry, but we will have some more "lucky ones" which will have a new phone.
But this is just my opinion.

Found you here as well..Whats up man

I've heard everything from them coming out this Thursday/Friday, all the way up to in one more month.
Spoke to a CSR today and they -of course- cant give out any days because they don't even know. "Being a guesser" the CSR said, "i would guess that it [a new batch of Nexus 4's] could come out the 21 to the 23 of the month ,that way they would be ready for Black Friday" he kept going, "but then again, it could take them until December, that's just my opinion. It all depends what the marketing team wants to do."

We get anywhere near mid-end of Jan and im passing, you've nailed it with the "tech moves too fast".
No way this will be the best hardware on the market at that point, only selling point is its a Nexus, which despite me being a fan wont swey my decision.
Stret

I just want ask to google, why the hell are so many Nexus 4 being sold on ebay, if i can't buy one in playstore?????

I unfortunately missed being able to buy N4
I imagine Google will have more stock in before Christmas, or they would lose out on quite a bit of $$.
I've heard they are supposed to have more in by Friday 8am (GMT)(or midnight PST) however cannot confirm this.

A fortnight at least

I am sure they have to do before international launch which is I guess is 29th or 30th by LG.

How long was the Nexus 4 sold out and when did you buy yours?

With the N5 coming soon, it's finally time to ditch my trusty old GNex. The G2 has most of the things I'm looking for in a phone (large, high quality screen, great battery life, excellent camera), but the $600 off-contract price and bloatware makes it a no go for me. The N5 looks really good on paper, but unfortunately it nerfs most of the things I like about the G2. I was hoping to wait for reviews and comparisons to come out first, but "waiting after release" for a Nexus product has it's own problems, in terms of actually being able to get one.
So I wanted to ask you guys for your experience with the N4. How long was it between being available at the Play Store and being sold out? Was it available for preorder and did it sell out even then? How long after selling out did it become available again? And when did you buy your N4 and how easy/hard it was to get?

If I recall correctly, the first batch was sold out within 15-20 mins.
And then a second batch was available after few weeks after.
And I think after 6~8 weeks most of the people who miss their chance with the 1st and 2nd batches got theirs.
I think after 2 or 3 months, they start having steady stock? Someone can correct this.
Google claims they did not anticipate that many buyers for the devices.
There wasn't a preorder on the release date,
but I'm sure they will have enough stock or preorder this time around.

i think your right but even after the 2 month there was still a 4-5 week waiting list

Well, I remember that I was mad at google on launch day because they started sales 30 minutes before it was supposed to go on sale, so by the time I was able to take out my phone in class to buy one, they were sold out. Then I had to wait until November 27th to buy one, that was when the second batch came out, and it arrived on Dec. 6th.

I'll add to this that on the first day, November 13th they did indeed sell out in the first 15 minutes which was 15 minutes before the official start time. I logged on at the correct time, noon pacific, and was still able to place an order but it was placed on backorder a day later, the system kept taking orders even though they were sold out throughout that first day. My backorder was filled on the 27th and arrived around the 6th some peoples backorders arrived weeks later and the system would periodically take new orders but they too would go into backorder. It took months to get it all sorted out.

I waited until January and I finally got too antsy and paid $415 for it on eBay. That's how impatient I am at times. Granted back then the markup I paid was only $115 (actually less since I didn't have to pay sales tax) since it was still price at $299 then. Was worth it to me.

Got it after tax refund in February

Well technically speaking, Google never specified a time that it would go on sale. They only specified a date, and nothing else. The fact that it would launch at different places within their respective time zones was also unknown to us (however somewhat known to the US people as it launched in places like Australia and the UK first).
Everyone only had conjectures about the times, and lots of people like me checked at every time possible, including 9 PM the night before, 10 PM the night before, 11 PM the night before, midnight the night before, 9 Am the next morning, etc. I think people expected it to come at 9 AM like Google's usual launches, yet it ended up actually launching at 8:27 AM PST or something near that. People who checked at 9 AM, such as yourselves I'm assuming, were already too late unfortunately. I for some reason was just paranoid about it and had been refreshing the page every five minutes since nearly 8 AM. Still, even at 8:30, the site was having major problems and I was only able to get my order through at 9:00ish, a few minutes before it sold out. Sort of the reason was because my Google Wallet stuff wasn't ready yet, so yes, when you do order, have that address + credit card ready beforehand as the default.

I was in the first 15 minutes to order. I used a chrome app to refresh the page for me and alert when there was a change. I was awake all night until it was purchased (granted I work nights so it was no big deal for me). However, I didn't get it for like 4 weeks. I had to call Google a few times and they kept giving different answers and stated that some were some how lost, but if they manually looked it up they could find your order. So, I was way behind when I should have got it.

I ordered first day. Woke up 10 minutes after it went online and it was sold out. But, around 2pm I bought one after class. Unfortunately, I got that dreadful backorder email later that night took about two weeks to get mine from the second batch

Bought mine the first day. I was online ready to order it the night before and then everyone found out they wouldn't be selling it till the next morning at 9 am PST.

I got mine at the second batch. Sold out in 3 minutes though...
So, good luck to all of us.

I got mine in about January. I couldn't get my hands on one in Europe until then.
Definitely worth the wait though :laugh:.
