[Q] US Pre-order Links

Since this is going to get hot, and quick, it might be best to have one place to put the pre-order links in 1 section.
Here's hoping the local BB comes in quick !

[Q] Where did you find your Transformer? (US)

As many of you guys know the Asus transformer came out today in the us. But i cant seem to find one! I've called all the bestbuys in my area, none of them have even heard of it, or have any info in their systems. Amazon and most other online retailers are sold out already. Where did you guys find em, if you did.

I bought two of the TF101-A1 (16GB version) at Fry's (they had 3 total) and I placed an order at Walmart.com at like 1am, which is supposed to be here tomorrow. I haven't been able to find a docking station anywhere...online or retail.

I managed to snag one of the TD bundles yesterday morning. No luck on any keyboard docks though

You need to be a materialistic individual to be able to stay up all night waiting for the Web sites to post the ASUS Transformer on their site at 3am only to have the entire stock be sold out in 3 minutes. I guess some people do not have jobs. So now you just wait like normal people and wait for the new shipment to arrive. I would recommend you pre order one. This is troublesome to know that this happens when something new is added to the market and people must have it now! In a month you will probably see a lot of them end up on EBay as the next new tablet will arrive and they will all have to have it now!
Good Luck

edit: not worth it.

Yeah, please the thread clean and on topic guys, what does it matter to you if someone sells a device to get another?
thanks

Damn it! So I went to Fry's because I thought they would atleast have it...
They also had no clue bout it... I feel like Asus left Illinois out of the loop...
And now the tigerdirect link is sold out too! Just my luck.

got mine from amazon and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
hope you all get yours soon

you can try your luck on B&H since its a jewish holiday their store is closed and are not doing any online service til 9pm of today and the stores are not open today as well. you can check their website or go to the thread above to find the link.

They're hiding all over this planet so I had to go all the way to Cybertron to get mine.
jk, jk
I'm waiting for a brick and mortar store. I don't want to have to deal with mailing it back or waiting to get my $399 refunded in case I don't like it. So yeah, if anyone finds it at an actual store (target, walmart, best buy, other popular nationwide chain) please PM me! I have 2 weeks from yesterday till I can't return my Iconia Tab for a refund anymore.

Ordered mine at B&H at 9:00pm sharp, saved the tax and free shipping. If I don't like it ill sell it on Craigslist or ebay.... now just gotta play that waiting game
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Ordered mine on BestBuy.com last night between 12:30 and 1 am or so Pacific time, after failing on a number of other sites (missed the mad Amazon dash).
I couldn't actually find the product on BestBuy's site at that time via search but someone had posted a link on the preorder/retail thread that went to the direct order page.. followed the link.. it worked! Added item to cart, chose next day shipping, was expecting to get some sort of out of stock message at some stage of the order process as had happened on a few other sites, but it worked all the way through... Got confirmation email a few minutes later, shipping notice this morning along with a tracking number that UPS now confirms should arrive at my home tmw before 3pm.
Unfortunately the keyboard dock seems to be basically vaporware at this point, and that's a big motivator in why I picked this tablet so I hope I can buy one prior to June but it is difficult to tell if that will be possible since ASUS is doing a horrible, horrible job of communicating actual availability.

Ordered from Amazon 12:00 am on launch day. Received it yesterday!

Trans. Prime owners - looking for someone to create a detailed, hi quality review

This is for a VIDEO review of the new Tranformer Prime Tablet
You will need a HD camera, clear voice, and of course a Transformer Prime tablet
I would like to post a review of the tablet on my website but haven't got the funds to buy one myself.
I will pay you $50 (via paypal) for an in-depth review (15-20 mins)
Im looking for someone who has previous experience in doing reviews like this but if you have no experience but feel you are up to the task you can easily watch a few video reviews on youtube to see how they are done.
Hope im posting this in the right forum, hope to hear back from some of you

There actually is an actual TF-Prime Forum now..

ah bugger didnt see that one,
ill post it in there (or if a mod can move this that would be great)
thanks for the info

Dude, if you're trying to throw $50 around for a review, seems like you should just order one. (You can obviously return it if it disappoints.)

believe me $50 is a small price to pay for some quality content. Also i have already purchased and sent back some products for reviews on my other sites i dont want to buy something expensive like this and then be told i cant return it because ive already done it so many times this month already

How much is a Droid Ultra Maxx DEV ED worth these days?

Thinking about selling my VZW Ultra Maxx Dev Ed in mint condition.
How much could I get for it?
Thanks!

Hiya, the going rate on ebay for 32GB models seems to be about USD $100 (used in good condition) to USD $150 (brand new). I haven't seen any developer editions yet, but as the only difference (afaik) is the color scheme and that you don't have to unlock the bootloader yourself, I'm not sure whether you'd get much more.
My opinion may be biased since I've been watching for an unlocked one though... If you decide to sell it I'd like to make an offer.

I did end up listing it - it ends tonight so have a look if you are interested. PM me for direct link if you can't find it, I imagine it's against forum rules to post a link to an auction, etc - thanks!

Guess I missed it, did you get what you were hoping for?

It went for $128 on the bay.
That is probably my favorite phone that I've ever had and I'm bummed I sold it but I got tired of VZW's pricing combined with horrible international roaming options. When they jacked unlimited data to $50/mo last month (and w/o any heads up!) that was the last straw.
Also, maybe I'm just getting old but, I really got tired of not having one simple, comprehensive and "one-step" backup/restore/migrate option on Motorola Android phones. I'm not interested in storing my stuff on Google's (or anybody else's) servers and every Android app I tried (root or non-root) never got the job done completely.
I feel incredibly lame going back to iOS but I don't miss all the extra work. I feel like a dinosaur now lol but hey what can I say.. It's just easier for me.
I loved that phone tho, and I hope the new owner is the type of enthusiast user who will really appreciate it. I'm talking like it was my cherished dog or something, time to see a shrink

sold out everywhere?

Why is the tablet sold out every where all of a sudden? I am going crazy waiting for my HTC 10 so I decide today after looking for probably 3 months that I am going to pull the trigger and buy the shield tablet to have while waiting for my phone, and look now they all sold out? Is this just my bad luck? While searching for one to buy I am also seeing a lot of comments about the recall.... does this have something to do with it? As a side note if anyone knows where I can order one right away for same price as Nvidia let me know. Nvidia said they would be having them again in a couple days so i am not really willing to pay too much more.

is it really needed to create another thread? You asked the same thing some days ago already. It would - apart from that - be really handy to know where you are living, as the availability may differ between countries.

No I didnt ask the same thing... I only decided to buy the thing today so that is not possible... previously I had asked for input on the pricing and if anyone knew of any deals. This is a question that stemmed from my decision to actually go ahead and purchase the device and finding out that they were sold out everywhere. My question being if there was a reason for this and the possibility of it being because of recalled units.
thanks so much for your reply even though it is completely useless and displays no intelligence... Its always entertaining to see people who take the time to reply to a question to just make a comment rather than answering the question.... To answer your question though sir, I am in the US... just as it states right next to my user name and in my profile. :laugh: :good:
