Comet now have these in stock for dispatch, i just ordered mine for tomorrow and have received a confirmation of delivery email (if that means anything)
Fingers crossed here's hoping
http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711
Thanks for the pointer I've ordered one too but I'm not over-confident I will have a TF in my hot hands by Friday somehow. It seems odd that neither Ebuyer or Amazon for example have stocks, and I seem to recall Comet as being optimistic regarding stocks of the (minus dock) TF's too.
Actually reading all the tales of woe re screen bleed, troublesome docks etc, I wonder if I've made a wise decision but life's too short and I've taken a chance
Comet can have these bundles within 2 weeks. Thanks to a contact in comet

Think positive!
I emailed them yesterday with that same question 'how come you get yours in stock and amazon say june 1st'? They emailed me back this morning saying they were due in today so i've been watching the website all morning waiting for it to be updated, when i saw it i rang them to confirm and gave them my details, they then rang back to confirm delivery tomorrow by parcel force for which i paid an extra £5.60
If they don't turn up a local store is going to get a brick through it's window

I went into my local store Saturday and the guy checked stock at the CDC which said delivery due 10th. I went in after work today and it was right they got them ready to be sent out so ordered one for in-store collection and picking it up Friday if you don't want to order online go in and do what I did. I only paid £399 as I took out the extra care so did me a deal so all in I only actually paid £485 with the service plan as I got 10% off buying vouchers through my work I'm a happy boy lol
Just ordered the bundle as well. I hope the keyboard will come with the US layout like on the pictures and not the UK layout.
Due in on Friday!
I received my Transformer from Comet yesterday, when I ordered it on Monday they told me they had 78 in stock.

I did, i bought one a month ago when they first became available, but no scrollable widgets or browsers worked so i sold it again, (paid £375 sold for £440)
My new one with keyboard arrived today, so no bricks will be thrown, (at least not at comet)

I ordered my bundle on the 4th April and Comet have had my money since then. To hear that someone who ordered YESTERDAY received theirs instantly is just infuriating.
I'm off to Comet after work. F****** ridiculous.

When i had mine a month ago all i had was the slate, they didn't get any stock of keyboards until yesterday and i was straight on the phone.
Just ring up the service centre direct 0844 800 95 95, all a store will do is give you some BS about availability
The keyboard is awesome, increases productivy a 1000 percent, the keys have a really good feel, and the touchpad is very fast, haven't worked out how to adjust speed.
Been using it for about five hours with general use, setting up ADW EX, a bit of youtube, web browsing, emails, and it's only gone down 15 percent!
Well indeed I should have had more faith my order arrived this morning as promised Must admit I was surprised when just one box arrived as I've always seen the pad and dock in two separate boxes but sure enough they were both inside.
No juice at all in the pad though some in the dock just a quick look and no sign of back-light bleed (with the start-up dark background).
Must say I love the look of the TF and dock, feels solid and well made
Damn the long initial charge time I want to play with my new toy
Took delivery of mine today from Comet, plugged in an power on BAM! Screen bleed!! All edges are corners, pretty bad. Went to my local store to return and refund and they have awful customer service. They treated me as if I was lying "oh I dont see a problem", well its not you who purchased it?
Anyway got a refund in the end. Having now had 2 faulty Asus transformers and 7 faulty iPads I think its time I walk away from tablets.....
I now have my bundle in hand after picking it up from Comet and its amazing can't believe how small the box was with both in I had to ask if both were there lol I also picked up a nice bag for it which I'm happy about.

Are you in the UK at the moment? I'm currently in the US and will have my keyboard delivered next Wednesday (US Layout)...I then return to the UK on Saturday. Would you be interested in a swap? I'm not overly bothered about having a US keyboard but a UK layout would be a bonus.
Ordered one from comet to arrive today....
Didn't arrive... Comets customer support leaves alot to be desired for... such as support

You should spend all day watching unboxing videos on youtube

It limits you to 4 options, Powerpoint, Internet, Youtube.. and something I forget.
But can we get it to display anything we want?
Btw it's so cool.
Oh well that's a bit useless then...if I can't use CorePlayer what's the point?
Let me plug it in real quick.
Ok I figured it out.
Ok first off - the jack you plug the phone into has a place to charge your phone. That's a nice feature.
Ok, you plug it in, the phone displays on your TV Beautifully. It gives four buttons.
Powerpoint
Photos and Videos
Internet
Youtube
The only soft button is "Close".
You press Close, it goes to your default Touchflo screen - the one when you open the keyboard. Touchflo 2D I think? Well I'm gonna go explore some more.
Edit: I opened Diamond Hologram and it froze. It just came here actually. Diamon Hologram displays vertically, but the phone is locked horizontally, so it looks very strange. So be careful opening programs that can't tilt. I don't have G-Sensor on but I bet it'd help.
No cable here. I ordered Oct 10 from Expansys and have been continually misled about stock and delivery. Now they say that due to an error, they shipped others ahead of mine and are again out of stock... maybe sometime in January. Is there ANY other supplier? I'm tired of the BS.

Live and learn. I have probably invested over an hour of my time writing emails and calling about what should have been a 1 minute click and purchase item. I'm done. I'll call one more time today and to cancel the order.
I have TV-Out cable for almost a month and it works perfect, I can play Coreplayer (movies) and anything else (photo album or whatever you like) what is on screen of your TP will be on the TV also)

Don't believe their website on availability. When I ordered one a few days ago, it showed nearly 400 in stock. Then I get an e-mail saying it won't ship until mid to late December. They also offered to substitute one of their own cables, which does not charge.

F$%^CK The [email protected]@rds!!!!
excuse my french :]
I have exactly the same experience with them!!
I wanted to do a safe internet buy, so i thought it would be wise to buy some phone stuff at the official HTC shop.
Arriving at the payment i suddenly noticed the name Expansys popping up, since the delivery would only take 3 days, i didnt care so much about it. Afterall i was redirected from the HTC shop. End of the story: the delivery wasnt 3 days but 3 full months!!!!And the people at the Dutch Expansys shop didnt care about a thing
i will never never never buy something from those criminals again...
At least their webpage says out of stock now and Jan. delivery on the tv cables. I bet they have has alot of irate calls the last few weeks from customers. HTC really needs to find a better partner to do business with for their accessoires.
Anyone know where to get one in the US???????

For what it's worth, I ordered mine thru expansys on Saturday, and it just got delivered to my house today via Fedex.
Looking forward to trying it out when I get home! Toys! I love toys!!
Edit: I see they have the HTC Touch Pro TV Out Cable AC T110 backordered. I ordered an item called "HTC Raphael TV Out Cable AC T110", and that shipped immediately.
Hey Guys,
I had ordered the Nexus one car dock from HTC website (Letstalk.com) on Aug-8. At that it was back ordered and available to ship on Aug-18. From that day they keep extending the date by a day everyday, the current date to ship is 9/9/2010.
Just want to know is the new date to ship only for new orders or all orders? and has anyone received the car dock from this site?
Thanks!
you're not alone.. I ordered back around August 14th and keep getting the 'still backordered' e-mail with the ETA getting pushed back.
do the items even exist? I always get the run around from HTC.. thinking about upping the ante with a BBB complaint...
wow im glad i didnt order mine yet then...
Hi,
sory off-post,
I bought, some days ago, the holder from brodit, and is spectacular, already used on my old hd, but for me is without doubt the best on the market.

Those are nice until they damage the finish on the bottom of your phone (I have one, I now have a paint chip on either corner of my phone thanks to that holder).
Thanks for the replies guys.....I am glad I am not alone...its unfortunate though.
HTC website is misleading, it says "backordered and available to ship", does not say those avaialbility dates are uncertain...its almost like they are cheating customers to buy from them and then keep them waiting.
I guess i will cancel my order and buy other holders available in market ..there are few suggested by other users in this forum.
Always backordered here too since mid August.
Except I paid of course immediately...
I ordered mine at the beginnig of august. On the site it was written availability september the 1st. And I received it august the 25th !!
I'm in France, maybe, for once, we are lucky .
Now it shows as TBD no more ETA in the last email..
nah, they do that a lot. check the htc website, its been postponed 3 more days.
I ordered mine in early August and still getting emails of backorder every two days. Wondering if they'll ever fullfill the orders.
Not sure if I am getting special treatment but here is what has happened so far:
I left the car dock in my windshield for about 2 months... bluetooth speaker started to suck. Went to release my phone with the push tab and the frame fractured.
About a week ago, maybe two, I called HTC and they emailed me a label for overnight to them for replacement and seeing if what was wrong was covered. Having not heard from them eight days later I called with my HTC ticket# and asked why I haven't received any notifications regarding my device and the lady escalated my ticket and I received my car dock today. It looks different...not sure how. But they definitely have them. Good luck to those of you who didn't pull the trigger for one right when you got your phone like I did.
I ordered a case from them on August 16th and they kept sending backorder emails well I got tired of their **** and just cancelled my order. Maybe one day I may or may not reorder when they have them in stock.
I also ordered in august and have been getting the emails every few days when they push the ship date back. It is pissing me off
Add me to the list... Ordered early August, nothing received other than those stupid every-2-day emails...
I am starting to think of cancelling the order.
Add the desktop dock to the backorder love...
Talked to google MULTIPLE times about availability of Official Nexus One accessories after the google.com/phone site went offline for orders. They kept giving me shaded answers until finally hinting they would be offered by htc. Finally HTC offered items on the HTC accessories site in the states. Ordered my desktop dock about a week ago and I have since gotten three backorder updates...
1) 9/22/2010
2) 10/10/2010
3) 11/26/2010
Are you kidding me? I bet I could take classes to learn how to program bluetooth technologies and set plastic moldings; I could then make my own dock before I get my official one...
Yet I digress with my patience; I want the official dock.
I ordered on august 24th and have gotten 13 emails pushing the date back

The viewing angles finally got the best of me...
The Electronics MGR must have seen me coming...he had the return process mostly done by the time I got to the counter. I didn't even have to give a reason.
He mention that he had gotten 30 in. He sold 8. All 8 came back.
He also mentioned that none of the sales team was recommending it, because it's bad for the bottom line...
Did they charge you the %15? Also, which Sears?
Yeah, which one. I need to pick them up at $279 a piece!

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Gotta be in ny for that one.
I just picked up my second G tab from the Sears in Scranton PA. Ordered from searsoutlet for 279. This one is a gift for my brother.
When I got to the customer pickup the lady said that "they don't get stuff from sears outlet" and that the tablet she got for me was from a pile of other tablets.
The package was unopened...and when i unboxed the tablet it looked completely untouched.
So bottom line is..I got a brand new tablet for 279.
Im not sure what the deal is with the searsoutlet but i know that tabs pop up a lot...and I don't see how they could have been sent back and forth to China for refurbishing?..?
CLick on the "refurbished" link. That is the term they use for anything NOT new! LOL!
I just realized that you cant order it to be delivered anyways... so must be a way for them to get rid of open box product and such. Closest one to me is Alabama ... and I am in California oh well.
Holy cow 8 out of 8 returned? After showing mine to a client the other day I told them if they wanted one to wait until Honeycomb comes out in 2011 and the bugs are worked out. Being that I would be the one supporting it.
I'm waiting for one to show up in the local Sears Outlet here, with the state this thing is in by default, $400 is way too high.
Viewsonic is going to catch hell from a bunch of retailers over this one.. Sears, Staples, Office Max (?), any others selling this lemon?
The fine folks here on XDA are making good strides on the tablet, and I suspect soon there will be good ROM that "just works", but out-of-box this thing is total crap and the 8 of 8 returned doesn't surprise me one bit.
THey may be out of stock but the site is now giving awat 9 quadrillion dollars with the purchase of the tablet... do you think this is a good deal

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

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...

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.

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***

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.

I think Tiger direct turned out be a scam . They market it as shipped but i noticed that they havent billed my credit card. I c a n see them shipping without billing.
Boo Tigerdirect..

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...
Has there been any dates set for Canada yet?

This could be a blessing in disguise...at least for me...latest from samsung note 10.1 spec is really looking good, 1.4 quad core, 2 gb ram, s pen, 5mp / 2mp cameras, ir universal remote control, sms capability thru the phone (probably thru blue tooth like the smart watches....only missing is the hd screen..
My infinity arrived
Hi all,
Infinity arrived from Tigerdirect Monday July 23. All is good . Need to find a case, etc.
Hi all
Anyone pre-ordered from CW yet?
what did you get and when do you think it will be shipped
Cannot remember if last year they were OK or not at shipping them ahead of others
Also are there some freebies with these orders?
I tried to pre-order....THREE times. First time, 2 hours later got an email back saying they could not proceed and had cancelled the order (no epxlanation). Second time got an email back an hour later saying they had cancelled it again, due to an "information mismatch". Rang them up to find out what the hell they were playing at, got through to sales who couldnt tell me why they had cancelled it so they passed me on to the "web team", who couldnt tell me anything at all, and passed me on to customer services.....who cut me off. I tried one final time to order it, this time got a reply an hour later again saying that it had been cancelled again, due to me failing a credit check, and telling me to check with the network I had selected......I had not selected any network since I was buying the handset only, there was no requirement for any kind of credit check, and if they HAD done a credit check then it would have come back as perfect. At this point I went to John Lewis website instead and ordered it fine first time. I will lose the crappy £99 speaker that was gonna go straight on ebay anyway, but it'll be worth it not to have to deal with the CPW muppets ever again.
I wasn't sure who to go with as I wanted to make sure delivery was on 20th since I will be at home that day and I figured CPW would have the most stock plus the free speaker. But then they will probably also have the most orders. John Lewis isn't a place people would normally think of buying a mobile from (I was surprised to even see it listed!) so I'm hoping they have enough stock and reliable enough delivery to get it to me on time. My order confirmation shows the delivery date, the CPW confirmation only said "current" delivery date which didn't sound very definite to me!
Ordered instore at CPW inside Curry's Bolton today. Black S8 (SimFree). Took 10 mins, collect from store on the 20th & get a free Samsung speaker
Same. Ordered instore in Market Harborough CPW for delivery to store on 20th. The free Samsung speaker looks rather nice and is waterproof to match the phone. I'll be using that in my bathroom. They had both S8 models to play with - full working units, not dummies. Very nice indeed! Went for the S8 - it's plenty big enough!

Scary how much smaller it is than my 6P and how little bezel there is! Still almost went for the plus tho...
Ordered mine on Launch 10 mins after the Live Announcement ended from CPW in Currys in York. Got a Black S8 + Free Wireless Speaker and a free £50 Currys/PCWorld Gift Card to use within 6 months. Delivery to store on 20th April.

Indeed. I was amazed at how the plus just doesn't look huge as I imagined it would. I wasn't actually intending to order - I bought a Google Pixel a week ago but was very disappointed as the lens flare I got in several photos over the weekend. CPW accepted the return and I paid the extra for the S8. Now having to use my old Nexus 5 for a couple of weeks.

Good to know the returns policy works. Just hope rooting is possible and the custom rom scene is good enough on the S8. (had Nexus devices since the GNex & really going to miss crack flashing).....
I had a Galaxy S7 before the Pixel. I didn't do any custom roms or anything, but did flash firmware on a couple of occasions. TouchWiz (or whatever they call it now) is not an issue any more - I put Nova Launcher on it and to me it looks just like stock Android. The photos I took on the S7 pleased me more than those I took on the Pixel, so I have high hopes for the tweaked camera algorithms on the S8.

It's actually not the same sensor either ,it's the same specs but a new one that no other phone uses. I'm sure it will be better in many scenarios with the improved processing and new features and will probably knock the Pixel from 1st place on dxomark. I can't wait to do some testing once I get it.
I can't wait for the 20th and my new phone! I pre-ordered it from CPW on Saturday.

I've had this from Carphone Warehouse several times in the past. I can almost guarantee that if I order anything online from them the payment will be rejected and I will have to contact them, then my bank to get it sorted. I don't know what they do, but I never have issues like this with any other company. When I check my credit reference no search is visible from them and, as you say, there is no reason to refer to a credit reference to buy a phone SIM free!

I didnt order from Samsung because when I went there to check on Sat, it was saying deliver by 28th and didn't even mention getting it earlier via pre-order so I assume they had already sold out of the pre-order ones. I think years ago when I was going to pre-order something from Samsung it turned out that they didn't have enough stock to fill it, and other places like CPW did, so I ended up having to cancel it and get it elsewhere to avoid delays. You would think Samsung themselves would have the most stock but that wasn't the case back then so i haven't ordered direct from them since.
CPW are clearly too incompetent to get their own website to work properly, and too incompetent to be able to deal with it when it doesn't work, so hopefully John Lewis can deliver instead.

On JL website - they only have S8+?
I like you guys LOVE the phone and want to upgrade. 2 things have stopped me, 1 = is what the battery life is going to be like, 2 = and most importantly is because UK is getting screwed again with crap deals, US are getting memory or VR etc and silver colors etc, UK are not getting anything other then maybe insurance or £50 speaker which not all of us want.
Slowly tempted to wait for better deals but look forward to your reviews, Enjoy your new slick phones!!

Depends what you want. I'd much rather have the speaker than a VR headset or a memory card!
I'm not sure the UK is getting screwed - the S8 launches here at the same time as the States. There are many countries that don't see phone releases until much later after launch. We generally get them pretty quickly.

Yup battery life worries me too but I have not found another device that I would be willing to go for and my S5 is getting on a bit so I need to upgrade.
UK being screwed is nothing new. We get screwed on price and screwed on deals for just about everything. Now they are using brexit as an excuse to stick the prices up on everything when we were already paying far more than the exchange rate says we should have been paying in the first place! They have all just spotted an opportunity to increase their profits by a big chunk and hide it as being brexit. And Samsung themselves can keep whacking up prices all over the world because they dont really have any serious competition at the top end, otherwise they wouldn't be able to.
