[Q] Places to demo in the uk? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone tell me somewhere they have the transformer on display in the uk so I can try it before I buy?
I've been to carphone warehouse but they don't have any on display.
Thanks

Cheers,Rob

Micro Anvika has demo version too.

White tf300t in stores?

Does anyone know when the white 300 will be sold in stores and not just online?

I've seen it in store in France, can't believe it'd be out here first...
It's been in stores in Finland for months now, I bought my white one 2 months ago now
Bought mine here in Luxembourg recently, white was the only colour they had
nice well here in the states you can get both the blue and red in stores but the white is always a special online order.

I saw White color version of both TF300T and TF300G in Singapore when I bought my TF300G. I choose the Blue one because I live in highly polluted country and not to mention dusty, which will make the white color looks dirty.
I'm from Poland and i buy my white Tf300t+ dock station one month ago normal without problems. They have in stock
see i couldnt wait to get mine so i went to the store and bought it the other day but my intentions are to return it and get a white one the real deciding factor was that as of tomorrow the store i bought it from is running a special to get a 50 dollar gift card if i bought it so thatll pay for a nice sd card to go with my new white 300

Haven't paid any import fees yet because it was shipped with FedEx.They normally pay any import fees on your behave and then send you a bill later.Shipping cost around 35 pounds and it arrived in like 2 days(best morning ever:victory and this was all done on ebay.
if i bought a tf700 from the usa and imported to the uk apart from the " and the @ buttons being swapped around is there any other problems like the play store being the usa version or ota updates ?

Imported mine from amazon.de for £496. That includes VAT and shipping but was without the dock.
If you can find a post forwarding company to send a parcel from Ireland to UK Komplett.ie have a very competitive price right now - 64GB with dock for €679, that works out roughly at £540. The dock is an "international" keyboard which is the US layout (no £ or € keys).
Got mine from amazon US first week it came out, had it shipped to a friends villa who was on holiday there. Had it home with me 4 days later for £414.00
Thats 32gb model dock, case and 32gb sd.

Forget that ^^ Just read reviews on them , and thye are supposed to be pretty dodgy
Well it was until first week using it when connecting the dock it snapped the charging port, so now cant use the dock and having to insert charger very carefully due to pins being able to short against each other.
Tried to rma but its not covered by warranty they say and they cant give me a price to repair until i rma it stating i understand i will have to pay, .... but how much?
Funny there tablet , correct dock and its my fault.
I have the tf300 with dock and no issues with that one.

I was just about to order my tf700 from Simply Electronics when I spotted this thread which I am glad I read. My problem now is where do I buy one from now, I have looked on Ebay and I see sellers from America and Taiwan selling the 32gb at a good price, has anyone bought one this way if so can they recommend a seller to me please.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered from them anyway. After closer inspection there were lots of negative reviews but positive ones also. As you those with an axe to grind tend to be more vocal.
Fingers crossed I'll get mine trouble free , if not I paid on my credit card so I'm covered.

Snap I ordered mine to, I paid by paypal so fingers crossed all goes ok for both of us.
I will post here when I get mine will you do the same.
Whats the extra customs price they charge on these guys?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Customs will charge you price + shipping x 10% for duty.
They will then add 20% to the new total as VAT
So you are looking at roughly 32% that the thieving bastards will add if they open your package. It's the risk you take and it can make a 450 pound deal cost 595 pounds in real money.
You take the risk and you could get away with it.
wow thats shocking

32GB TF700 with keyboard for $499 from Adorama

Saw the deal on Techbargains and checked it out. Sure enough. 32GB Champagne TF700 with keyboard for $499. http://www.adorama.com/ASTF700TB1CK.html I have no idea how long the sale will run.
Note that I am not affiliated with Adorama in any way. As a matter of fact, this is my first order with them.
Mods: this is my first post of this nature so if it's misplaced or should be gone altogether, please move or delete it with my apologies.

Says $599 when I pull it up...
My apologies. It was $499 yesterday and for a while this morning. Guess I got lucky cuz my order was processed and paid for at the lower price and it's on its way to me. Still, $599 would save me right around $50 off the best price I've seen at my local Best Buy (after tax). I saw it for $449 + $149 (keyboard) + around 9% for state and local taxes which is just about $650.

The deal is expired, but I did get mine before it expired for $499 for the TF700 with keyboard dock. That was a good deal, as you point out $100 cheaper then the Black Friday deal of $599
Thank's a bunch for sharing this!
I didn't get to purchase it for $499, but it's still way cheaper than what I would have to pay for it here in Denmark.
The tablet + shipping was $630, but if I had purchased it here in Denmark, Europe, I would have paid $1040.
565 right now shipped

For those still looking, I just got a hit from Techbargains.com on the Best Buy deal -- $499 for the package - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ASUS+32...?id=pcmprd196600050005&skuId=9999197500050005
Valid right now.
I bought mine from adorama... got it for $560 shipped. But that was without the keyboard and it's the 64gb version.

Shipping

I want to buy Nexus 7 32GB + 3G, but I‘m from Romania and here the price is toooo much!
Maybe i buy it from US or my friend. He is in Canada.
What to do?
I don‘t want to pay vamal taxes ( +24% ).
Thank you very much!

Ebay with worldwide shipping?
http://m.ebay.com/Pages/ViewItem.as...x364&sv=nexus 7 32 gb 3g&emvcc=0&nbcol=0|null
How about the international shipping price?
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app
Just look at various shipping carriers and see how much it will cost to ship - it's going to be the same no matter if you get it on eBay or if a friend sends it.
I sent an iPod to Russia and the flat-rate box was the best deal and it cost me $15 - not sure if you're looking at the same thing from North America. The box was the size of a VHS tape, so it wouldn't fit any original packaging in it - that would cost more.

Cost of phone
What is the cost of samsung galaxy s3 in us?i hope it is low than india..if i m right...i have samsung wave but it is a bad phone to carry on with..i m planning to sell it but i m not getting proper price....plss reply regarding the price...and is there any cheapers means to get mobiles in us??
You could buy a used phone from the USA or otherwise - and have it shipped. The only problem is, of course, shipping costs - it's best if you do your own research to be able to suggest the best way to the seller if they don't have experience. It can be really, really expensive to send non-flat-rate boxes. I sent a package to Japan flat-rate for $16, but a woman who wanted to send a blanket to her daughter in the same country was going to have to pay ~$75 (so she decided to just send her daughter money and have her buy one there).
The S3 is something like $600USD new, I think. You can get it for less used, of course.

Check ebay. Nobody will buy it for more than they ask there unless you offer it with a clean installation of a good custom rom AND you find a buyer who knows enough to appreciate it.

I'm thinking about selling my tablet with my dock too, but is ebay a really good place? Several times already I've seen them having sales of the tf700 at $250 US dollars. Would pawn shops be beneficial?

Generally, a pawn shop is the worst place to try getting anything close to market value for an item. You might get lucky and find a shop that does not know how to properly value used electronics and give you something close to fair value. But I would lean toward ebay, or craigslist if you live in a large enough city/region - CL usually means a lower selling price, but no ebay/paypal fees or having to worry about shipping issues or buyer remorse.

Where would you go to check the going price for a used consumer electronics item?
As long as there is one for sale on ebay, you won't get a better price elsewhere.
would you guys with the docks be willing to sell just the dock? I never got the dock to begin with because at first i didnt think it was worth turning my tablet into a little netbook type of thing but recently ive seen more and more people type up notes with their keyboard and tablet in class and im interested to see if its worth it.
Im kinda going on a tangent but did you guys get alot of use from the dock?
Sold mine for 400. Best place is Facebook on any of the university forums.

I originally bought the dock to type my school papers on the go. Then I would transfer and fix it, but I just bought a laptop for that. I didn't really use the dock
