[Q] 16gb in store availability in NY - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I am last day in ny before going back to uk, I've seen some 32gb transformers in J&R for $540 but I want 16gb for 399 + tax....
Has anyone seen 16gb TF available in any of NY stores? I am a bit desparate (hence this post) as I really wanted to buy one while I am here in us but didn't anticipate such problems with availability....

$540 for 32gb is still a lot cheaper than 16gb in the UK ..damn!!!

Didn't even know the transformers was already in stores.. might go to J&R after work.

That's the thing, if it was I'd go for it. But it isn't that much. 540 is about £330, considering you *may* need to pay import tax its not that much cheaper, and you don't have convenience of just taking it back to store if something goes wrong or you have light bleed or something...
And personally I discard difference between 32 and 16gb because frankly I don't need 32gb.... and SD cards are cheap...
So Yes, TF for $430 is a lot cheaper in us than in uk.$540 isn't that great price anymore....

16 Gb Micro SDHC C10 $29.99

Was at Fry's tonight & saw they had a 16gb MicroSD card C10 for $30, so I picked one up. I figured I would post it to see if anybody else was interested.

For some reason, Wintec frightens me...

Man If only I had cash to spend.
reviews of it say it is a rebadged Samsung card, seems awful cheap for a class 10, considering Kingston and Transcends cards are $100 and up for the same size
Seems like that link no longer works. Please run some tests and let us know the resulting speeds.
Wow I was oblivious to the existence of anything past class 6.
Link is dead, I assume this is the same thing: (without discount?)
frys.com/product/6421592
No The original link was a microsdhc card, compatible with a cell phone.
I checked my local Fry's newspaper ad online and can verify that they have a Wintec 16GB Class 10 MicroSD card for $29.99. I'm in the Northern California area and their in-store prices are not always available online.
Is that a Black Friday price? Or is it $30 any time? If so I'm gonna have to drop by a Frys.
And if anyone has this card, can you do some speed tests or test transfers?

It is not a black Friday special to my knowledge. I saw it in the weekly Fry's circular ads in our region (Northern California) Their specials on the weekly ads typically run from Friday to the following Wednesday.
what's the difference for different classes of sdhc?

Faster write speeds as the class number goes up. But that probably won't have any noticeable effect on your phone, with the possible exception of 720p video recording.

WANTED: P6800/6810 -- 32gb version (NEW)

I am looking for a BRAND NEW Galaxy 7.7 32gb version to buy for a reasonable price -- not like over $600 from Amazon.
Anyone knows where to get it in the USA?
Presently Verizon is selling the 16gb version for $399. I need 32gb because 16gb will run out of space after I am done with all my files/apps. I know you can put a microSD card in but most of my apps can't install/go to microSD. So I am restricted to 32gb version otherwise I would have taken the Verizon wireless version.
Pretty sure the 32gb version never saw the light of day.

P6810 in 32gb was/is available in Australia. I still see it on Ebay (Australia) but the sellers will not ship to USA.

It saw the light of day, I got mine from http://negrielectronics.com about 4 months back. It is not listed now but if you look hard enough you can find one.
Root and install Directory bind, buy a 64gb card, map game/app data to sd with Directory bind. You will have plenty of room.

[Q] 32 GB 3G version?

Anyone have any idea if/when this will be available in the UK or Europe?
If there's good reason to think it will be out soon I will hold off purchasing the note 10.1 for now....
Thanks
Can't say about the UK but over here in Oz they're as rare as hens teeth... Only found the 32gb 3g version at JB Hifi... and now its not advertised on their site anymore..... Oh yeah, cost $850Aud too which is really up there in price....

Probably be cheaper buying a 16 gig version then buying a 32 gig card from amazon.

On Thursday I finally got notification that the 32 Gb wiFi version was now available in Holland, so perhaps the 3G version will not be too far behind in Europe/the UK.
I bought a WiFi version from the US a few months ago and even with import costs of €100 it was good value - can you pick up a 3G one from another country ?

Thanks for the responses....There don't seem to me many available for shipping even internationally....there was one on Ebay US a few days ago but that would have set me back about £540 after all the import duties and shipping...
That would be £140 more than I could get it for in the UK with the £50 Samsung rebate.
I don't think I'd want to pay much more than £50 more for the extra 16gb, especially as i plan on sticking a 64gb card in there anyway...
I also have to decide between the grey and the white.....would definitely be going for grey if it weren't for the reports here of differing build quality between the two...

Differing build qualities, really?

Mate, my 32gb 3g grey note 10.1 has no faults.... I bought a 2nd for my brother and his has no faults. I bought a 16gb 3g grey one for a friend and they have no problems with build quality.... Considering the only real difference between the grey and white notes is colour then why would build quality differ?
And trust me, I have the 32gb version with a 64gb sd card. I'm running out of space... What you have you will use or lament the fact you don't have enough. Hindsight is 20/20 and you will regret not getting the larger memory...
Thanks again for the advice
Yeah, I will definitely be getting a 64GB MicroSD card. And I agree with you ultramag69 that will likely regret it if i settle for the 16gb note. However with the current purchase options (no 32GB 3G model available directly in UK) I just don't think I could justify spending £140 on 16GB of storage.

I totally agree that this sounds ridiculous. I'm still sceptical even after reading this thread. It's not exactly a scientific sampling however it does give pause for thought regarding the models available in the UK at least.

32G Galaxy S4: Amazon or Costco?

Alright, I see the 32G SGS4 in stock with AT&T. Did anybody see this one on Amazon or at Costco yet?
I asked at my local Costco and they said they haven't recieved any indication that they'll have the 32gb version, at least anytime soon. I'm planning on just returning my 16gb to Costco next week and just buying the 32gb from att.

I went to costco today and they are selling the 32GB SGS4 for $200.00, $50 discount.
They are also selling the HTC One for $129.99
This is the Costco in Azusa, CA

Did they have it in stock? Or will have it in the future, and if the future, did they have a date? I've been waiting on costco/walmart/amazon to get the 32gb, hopefully at a discount.
This sounds like great news.

They had the black 32GB in stock for $200. I also got some information on their protection plan which is better than Square and Trades. It's $100 up front and the deductible is only $25. It's a shame my upgrade is in July 1st.
Good luck getting them. The HTC One was completely sold out though, only because they didn't get many of them. But it looked like the SGS4 was readily available.

Are you certain they had the black 32gb in stock? I spoke with our local costco who said they do not have it and at this point will not have it, and he checked with the Azusa store and they had no indication that they were carrying or would carry the 32gb?
May give them a call directly in a second, just wondering if you were able to confirm in person with the device that they had the 32gb?
I did see on costco's site that they list the 16gb version as $249 - $50 discount for a total of $199, rather than just straight $199. Wonder if that was the confusion?
I wrongfully assumed so due to the 250 price point being marked down when it's Costco mistake for advertising the 16Gb was 250 before the sale.
They have the 16Gb,sorry.

Not a problem I was really hoping that I was getting the runaround but it looks like I'll just need to go to ATT and buy it outright, could be worse. Now if they would just announce when the active was coming out so I can decide if its really worth waiting 2 months until mid July

If the 16gb is 799 then the 32gb must be 999, they should throw in some monster cable titanium usb cables while they're at it...

Yes, it will. Nexus phones have always and will always be unlocked.
Best Buy's prices on this phone(as well as some overpriced stuff like cables) make me feel much much better about using them as a showroom. I'd be willing to pay $50-$100 more to get the phone a couple weeks earlier(I lost my phone Halloween) but the price point they're pulling is ridiculous.

Radio Shack ?
Why would Best Buy sell the 16gb phone for $799 ????? They sell Chromecast at the regular $35 price, same as the Play Store.
What's wrong with these people ?? Worst Buy is damn right.
I was looking forward to find the N5 in a brick and mortar store, does anyone have an idea when it will be available at Radio Shack, and what the price will be there ?
BTW I think a ~$25 premium over the Play Store is fair, ie $375 for the 16, $425 for the 32gb version. No more than that.
Walmart > Best Buy, they sell iPads and iPhones for LESS than Apple does !

Best Buy lowered the price to $449 for the 16GB version now. Better than $799 but still too much IMO, given the google price is $349.

That's $449 for the 16GB model, not 8GB, so it's $50 more than Google Play. The 8GB model is $349 from Google Play and Best Buy doesn't even list that one, and of course the $449 16GB is listed as a Sprint model (doesn't matter since it's unlocked regardless).
If you just gotta get one right freakin' now then that's probably the only option given the shipping times and inventory shortages at Google Play - but then again it says November 8th availability too, bleh.
There is no 8gb nexus 5. On Google play its $349 for 16gb, $399 for 32gb.
