Hi guys,
I ordered my transformer (what a name for a device eh! ) and it will be delivered next week. I thought I read somewhere here that Asus are selling the keyboard dock directly? is this true?
If so, can somebody point me in the right direction please? I heard you get a nice discount if you go direct!
thanks.

Thanks bro... looks like I'm too late. offer ended 22 April midnight! Although £55 doesn't seem like a discount at all.
Ah yeah sorry thought it was up to the 29th. Oh well like you say I doubt it's going to be a huge difference to the price in the shops anyways.

I'd try contacting them. I think the intention was to allow ordering in this way until the bundled version is available. As it isn't yet available, they may still accept your order.
The offer is still open but it closes on Friday 29th April, you need to have purchased your transformer before the 22nd April.

You say that like a bundle is a sure thing. Is it?

No I'm not sure, but the indications are all that way. I think you can still pre-order the bundle on Amazon for example, with release date of June 1st. That's a pretty strong hint to me that it its going to happen, but I agree it is no guarantee.
Bundle as in price break? That is what I have been hoping, $150 seems a tad to much for the dock, but I'm sure I'd end up paying it if I have to.

..delivered next day, seems a good price or a mistake as it appears to be £110 cheaper than anywhere else, or are prices on the way down.

Sorry, yes, edited original post.

...and, Doh!!! I paid £480 for mine about 7 weeks ago. Sigh. I wonder if people have stopped buying them because of some of the possible issues!
just found it on hotdeals! posted by..... you nice
why soo cold tho??? full of knobs!
You got to love and hate hotdeals.
It is without doubt a bargain, if you want one and can afford it, I believe that people on that site just vote cold on anything they dont want or cant afford or dont understand, shame really.

Thanks for that - i've been waiting for play.com to have a 10% discount which would have only bought the price down to £432(approx).
This is a great price - i only hope they don't say its a mistake as it looks like one (its cheaper than the Diamond which is £363.39).
It Should arrive on Thursday - just ordered it now.

I've decided to give a WM phone a go again and ordered myself.
To start with I'll just use it with a data sim, to see what its like, as you can't knock a blackberry for staying in touch with IM etc, but Im just so bored of the crap browser experience and lack of software like Live Mesh, which I use one hell of a lot to keep things synced.
I'll use both for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Looks like they have discovered it - gone back up to £466.89 without postage.
Good thing i bought mine
LOL! I don't feel so sick now ; )
spark9990, when your new pro arrives, please could you take a look at what version ROM it ships with now? (start/settings, system tab, device information - though I'm sure you'll know that already). Congratulations on getting such a great price!!!

Yes and mines on tracking so give them credit for keeping the price for those that bought.
I've used them many times actually and they always have been good.

They've cancelled my order - twats. Can they do that?
Mine as well, mine was at the delivery depot.
Not even a offer of a good will gesture, I'm going to check out if they can do that, especially I can prove it was out for delivery.

Let me know what you find - I'm trying to find out if they can do that as well.
Had they sent emails to you both confirming dispatch? If so then then I guess they had entered into a contract with you... talk to Trading Standards for a firm answer....

I don't have proof of that - but i do have a receipt, and they did take money out of my account.
Then without my permission carried out a refund transaction. I trying to find out how to contact trading standards but in the mean time i am going to try to reason with sellers.
In a retail store, if a product is tagged as a cheaper price by mistake, then the retailer has to give it at that price.
If Handtec had debited your back account/credit card account, then they had entered into a contract with you to supply that item at that price. Speak to both Trading Standards and Handtec about it and make sure you can demonstrate that they had taken your dosh. All you did is select a product on Handtec's website in good faith and, for their part, it would appear that they too entered into that contract to suppply it, so I suggest they honour it!
EDIT: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, and they should have an entry in your local phone book. Kent is 0845 7585497 (just in case - good luck!)

Thats not true. Most big stores (such as Tesco) will sell you at the quoted price for the good will. By Law they infact have something like 24 hours to correct the price once notified by a customer, during which time they can sell at a different price than is quoted.
That is really bad!
I thought maybe it had something to do with stock levels, but if it got to the depot, you think they would have realised!
Hope you get a response from them or Trading Standards
Anyone has more news on the release dates and availability in US soil?
This thread is intended to gather all that information, the different available version at launch and prices
so far ive heard mid/late april and also may 7 which i thought was canadian release date, which could always be tied in with US release,
either way....hopefully this thread can help get a better idea of the US release
I guess we will probably get it the week after singapore release.

I am surprised they don't have U.S. preorders out yet, which makes me think that it is coming at a later date
But who knows
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Tegra-2-EeePad-Transformer-Price-Release-Launch,12494.html
The release for this baby is 'early April' according to Asus, so we won’t have to wait long to find out the official pricing (considering April is, you know, here).

Darn, I got excited when I read the thread title.
i've waited too long the fever is cooling down.
they are out of supplies in taiwan, and due to japan earthquake, parts were delayed. i'd be surprised if they'll have enough to display in every bestbuy store by end of month.
I saw dates of April 19 being mentioned in various places, but more likely in other forums. None of the etailers like amazon have anything on it either, although newegg lists the 32GB version but no release date or price. Japan situation is really bad though so that could be reason of no word from asus. If there really is a big delay and it goes into May I might just wait and see what the samsung 10.1 situation is as thats meant to be released June 6 or 9.
OMG I desperately want this tablet. At first I was all for the Xoom, but my interest in this tablet has grown exponentially daily! I just hope that it's out in bestbuy by my birthday, April 23rd!!

Well i hope the 19th is accurate because my birthday is on the 18! easy way to justify the purchase! but given we're a week away with no word, can only hope now.
mine's 17th
we should have a bday party together, stare at the pictures of transformer, and tears running down the face
Amazon UK are now saying preorders will be dispatched on the 1st of June. That could mean the US release is pushed back at least that far.
I really hope it goes up for sell sometime in April. Not sure I can wait much longer....

How could that be? Didn't the Transformer go on sale very recently in the UK? So, couldn't someone in the UK just walk into a retail store as we would in the US and pick one up - or is it really that backed up/not available in stores?
Anyone working for bestbuy, or with friends working there or friends of friends or ... that can spill some details?
We promise we won't say anything and we'll keep this just among us...
i envy you guys...i was waiting for tmo's gslate until i saw the transformer..but my needs changed and i'm dropping my gal tab since i picked up the asus eee slate ep121....and although i will miss android...i cant say enough good things about this slate

Amazon always tends to play it safe to try and avoid extra calls etc. However, as soon as they have the stock available they will ship it out ASAP and I am sure that will not be June.
Now I just wish we would get a US release date!
Here they talk about the 18th, but I don't know how reliable this source is:
http://www.pdfdevices.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hacked-even-before-the-us-release/
I hate to say this but, if it was anytime in April, I would think that we would be able to pre-order.
At this point I may be moving forward with the Iconia....
i was debating on the acer jsut because the US hasn't even heard a thing about a release date, but i don't know if i can push myself to do that lol
ill probably end up waiting, but it would be nice if we would hear ANYTHING confirming any release date in the states
Quick poll to see if anyone has received a transformer+keyboard after ordering or pre-ordering. I'm waiting on Comet, but having missed the £55 keyboard offer, I don't want to cancel, buy a keyboard-less tablet elsewhere and then get stung for £100+ when it's released...

Not recd yet :-( dont think will do until at least 15 may in the uk
swazpurohit, you voted that you have received it, you want vote #2
Where have you heard the 15th May date from?
Well this is a waste of time at the moment as no one will have a dock shipped to them until mid May at the earliest. That's according to Asus.

I thought it might be a bit earlier than that. In response to a question on Twitter about keyboard availability for those who got in on the special 'early adopters' deal, Asus UK wrote:
'We believe end w/c 2nd or early w/c 9th May, depends on whether Bank Holiday w/end delays internal freight forwarding to stores'
I'm optimistic for the end of this week, but knowing Asus it could be several weeks away before we see the docks..
edit: misread the Twitter thread a bit, actually was in response to a question about the tablet bundle (tablet + dock) being available to buy in store in the UK. Since Asus said their first priority is to clear the dock purchases for the early adopters, I'm assuming those of us who ordered through that deal will get them roughly the same time if not a little earlier.
I ordered my bundle last week (26/04/11) from the car-phone warehouse. I phoned them on Thursday to chase up the status of my order and they told me that they have tablets in stock but no keyboard docks. They're expecting Keyboards in on the 3rd of May and will be fulfilling orders immediately so I should expect my order to be delivered on Wednesday the 4th.
-cyph
Well the lack of any email confirmation from asus after i paid via bank transfer didnt fill me with confidence. I'm not in a rush to get the dock, although it would be nice to get it sooner rather than later of course. I think I'm in the same boat as everyone else in this regard. Anyways as far as info goes, I've not seen what you have on twitter.
I'm sure it will turn out that a few people wont get their docks, even though they pre-ordered and did the dock offer. At least, I have a bad feeling it will turn out that way, and I'd rather it wasnt me.
i didnt even think about the non confirmation of payment after i sent a bank transfer... does seem a bit strange. Im hoping the dock willbe with me soon.
din't receive any reply from Asus after sending email to them asking for the keyboard offer
Time for a bump.
Anyone received a bundle/combo yet, or are those talking about keyboards people who bought it seperately for $130(£?)?
Anyone recieving a keyboard but has decided or wont bekeeping it please get touch

Is there going to be some sort of preorder? Our do we just have to take our chances on the 22nd?
Sadly no, we have to wait... I wanted preorder too like with the 5 but no
I pre-ordered the phone on Amazon (Germany). Perhaps it is also possible in your country...
Preorderd on belsimpel.nl, now need to wait for the case I want.
Have one of the official bamboo (if I'm right) on my OP3 which is still perfect after 2 years.
And want a case like that, most probably the Ebony atm.
Unfortunately no 256GB on Amazon Germany..

In my case it has to be Amazon as I have 5k in amazon vouchers to spend and no money free in the bank. You are right though, no real reason not to wait unless people are impatient. I guess people worry it will be out of stock fast and want to pre-order for peace of mind.
Hi All,
seems that pre-orders have started for Huawei China from either Huawei Mall or Gizmod.
Delivery in EU available.
Shall we order in EU?
@People from Romania /Bucharest if you are interested to buy, PM me maybe we order several units in a single delivery package.
1. Payment deposit ( 2019.09.19 23:30 ~ 2019.09.26 17:30 )
2. Pay the final payment ( 2019.09.26 18:08 ~ 2019.09.27 23:59 )
3. Waiting for delivery (sending in the order of payment deadline)

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.
They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model
