was going to wait until the keyboard dock model was out but as shipping dates are being pushed back i might take the plunge.Whats the score with getting the dock after its released
No trouble at all it seems, but only for a short period.
You follow the instructions given here.
I did this yesterday whilst I was on the train (just got my Transformer!) and was sent an invoice yesterday afternoon, which I duly paid by bank transfer. The keyboard docks should be sent out sometime in May, and the total cost was £54.98p.
Regards,
Dave
thanks dave how you finding it , is it as good as the reviews say?
Is there ANY chance to order this tablet from UK to germany? We don't even have a release date yet and I don't care about the different charger. But there's no shop that's shipping outside UK, at least not one that offers the Transformer!?
Can anyone from UK pleaase post me a link from a UK online shop that ships the Transformer to Germany/mainland Europe?
Could you buy one of the ones on Ebay?
I was thinking about buying a couple of extra ones and selling them on ebay for those who can't get one yet.

I would greatly appreciate that! All the devices that are on ebay right now ship from Taiwan, meaning a lot of taxes for shipping to Europe.
So if you sell the tablet for a reasonable price I'd definitely buy a device from you! Docking station from UK is worthless for me anyway, since it has the wrong layout (QWERTY instead of QWERTZ). Just PM me your ebay link if you sell via ebay, that would be awesome! Just ordered a device
Cheers

I´m going to the US this June.
Are there any other differences than the charger and the QWERTY ( dock )?
Prices starting at USD 399 + Tax.

Any places you find can be added to my master list, I'll add a Canadian section.
It's available a TigerDirect.ca but it's a ripoff, the tablet is on sale for 574 and the dock 172, so in total a good 100$ extra than the regular price. The catch is, they list it as shipping in 3-5 days, i bought one, and after chatting with a agent, he said everything is backordered until at least june 25th. So basically, it's a smart way to try and make an extra 100$ off having the "exclusivity" of the first ones to sell it in canada

Yeah, I mentioned this in the OP. I was tempted to do it anyway but no champagne...
Hopefully amazon will have them soon!
sorry, didn't read all op. but amazon aren't too fast to move their stock up north, my money would be on ncix since they already have their template page up but inactive for a few days: http://source.ncix.com/asus-tf700t-transformer-pad/
EDIT: Ok so this morning it was just a page with no way to click the buy button but i can now see that the buy button redirects you to the actual product. The only things is that the actual TF700T is not on their website if you search for it, only if you use the link i have. In any case, the price is 499 so i just put in my order and i'll be patiently waiting until the probably stock fill day of july 25th

Sitting here with my new Acer A700...would have got the TF700T but I need something for my trip in early August.
Despite all the reported issues with the A700, fine with me so far, but I would like to give the TF700T a spin...so tempting to preorder this from NCIX and see if it ships in time for my trip.

Damn it! That's so tempting but I want a 64GB/Champagne! I went through this last time with the Prime, too. 64GB and gold ones were the very last to ship...
meh, i dont really care for the 64gb because the only things that take up space is my music, and that i have on my GS3

True enough, plus I have 2x 32GB cards already so that could be 96GB of total space... But I'm still wanting the champagne colour.
Tigerdirect.ca shippment notice - on it's way?
Hi, ordered a TF700t from Tigerdirect Tuesday morning. I received my shipping notice Wednesday morning. I should have the table by Friday (or Monday). But.... I've also seen when shipping notices are created but they aren't actually shipped until later. Not sure if this is happening here.

same thing happened to me, except i ordered monday night. then i called in on tuesday and asking them if the item was in stock and they said that even though my order was marked as shipped, it is back ordered until the 25th. This is just a very stupid way to keep customer exited about their inflated prices.

Wow that's actually the most stupid thing...
I have a pet peeve for poor customer service so if that was me, I would have cancelled the order before even getting off the phone...
If it's a 32GB, you might as well order from NCIX and save yourself some $$$.
Yup...done! I've been a client of NCIX for years, should of waited for them instead of letting my geeky impatience guide me, at least i know they dont have a dildo waiting for my a**h***

Of course just after I posted my last comment I checked my Tigerdirect / UPS tracker and in fact my order has actually shipped and it's some were in the States.
But I will only half apologize to Tigerdirect because it still is $90.00 more than B&H.
So a small hurray for Tigerdirect.
Mr. D.
hmm NCIX or Tiger Direct, I'm willing to pay more but if it's going to be delayed anyway I'll just use NCIX....or maybe just wait til memory express starts selling it, but it could be 3 weeks from now...decisions decisions...

My infinity arrived
Hi all,
Infinity arrived from Tigerdirect Monday July 23. All is good . Need to find a case, etc.
Hi All,
I'm considering purchasing the tf700 from America and importing to Australia (as they are going to flog it off here for $999AUD!
The only thing I need to confirm before purchasing is if the adaptor will be suitable for Australia (don't want a surge).
Does the info on the (American) power pack indicate it handles 110-240v ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Mike

Input 100-240 V, ~ 50/60 Hz 0.5 A
Thanks Mate.
Yes, hopefully doing the same. Probably gonna need a an adapter as well. How you gonna get yours over here?
I'm pretty sure I read that all Aussie tabs will come with the Key Board dock also, still priced high but thats something to consider plus 32/64 at that price?
Ordered mine through ebay last night. It is winging it's way here via DHL as we speak. Paid 838 AUD (including express shipping) for 64GB with dock (a. grey colour). Expect it to arrive here on Monday next. When you add the $10 for an adaptor that still comes in $140 cheaper and at least a week earlier than the Oz release.
Would I be able to get a 32GB no dock from the same supplier?

check out ebay mate. Theres a few offering 32GB no dock for well under 500. Express shipping (cause who wants to wait weeks once you have committed the money) costs about 60. the ususal precautions re: checking out sellers reputation apply, obviously.

Dose any one know where I can Buy a AC Charger for the TF700 in Canada? It's like ASUS doesn't think we will ever need a new one. It has to be located in Canada every time I order something from the USA I get dinged BIG time like $25-$40 even if the item costs $10 I'm not willing to pay $80 for a charger, just want one from a company in Canada so I don't get dinged for Handling Fees and Duty...
Thanks!
I just ordered one on eBay from a seller who was located in Hong Kong; it came via EMS and Canada Post and I didn't pay anything duty wise.
What you are describing are not duties, they are "importation/brokerage fees" and likely you are having your items sent up here via UPS or Fedex who charge an arm and a leg. When ordering from the US, have the seller ship via USPS to avoid brokerage fees.

Thanks for the replays!
I found this site:
http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/MCH_TF201_01.html
I don't like buying from sketchy people/suppliers but at least they have been around for a wile.
I'll let you know how if goes...
The charger came yesterday although it was shipped in a bag in a unpaded mail bag... it arrived ok and seems to work fine. Ended up costing me $21 after tax+shipping so not bad. At least now if one brakes I'm not screwed
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
Just ordered via Amazon .com from USA,Cyber Monday deal phone and 360 camera including import duty etc £388:laugh:

Ordered one, however it wasn't available for UK delivery, so ordered to a friend's home, and will hopefully either ship it to me or give to a colleague coming over. No rush to get it atm. But couldn't resist for $399 + tax .
It's said not for UK delivery but if you completed the purchase it does ship to UK ,mine has been dispatched
