Having received my transformer this morning, all I can say is i love it! however, there are definitely a few issues that are bugging me;
1. the build quality. i constantly feel where the outer rim and the back casing are supposed to join, but dont and its a constant remind of its quality
2. the dock. its brilliant but the putting the tablet into the dock is so annoying and im afraid I may end up breaking the mechanism on the dock. which leads me to my next point...
3. connectivity. the tablet actually has about as much connectivity as an ipad, which is a REAL shame. would it have been so difficult to implement a micro/usb port onto the tablet? i appreciate the sd card slot but personally I'd have preferred the micro/usb than the sd card, but hey atleast the sd card works! you cannot really experience the transformer properly without the keyboard dock so when docking the tablet I am extremely cautious incase i do do some damage.
4. trackpad. the two buttons on the trackpad also feel really cheap when pressing. I suppose this is to be expected when paying as little I have for this tablet.
My final issue, for now, is the constant freezing of the keyboard which i believe has been addressed in a firmware update in the US and not in the UK. Would be nice to get it soon! anyone know when we brits get this update, and any other update there is floating around??
there is a USB port adapter being released by Asus in the near future. Also the trackpad feels real solid to me.

my buttons on the trackpad feel really plasticy but i guess thats to be expected. although iv not spent a great deal of time with the dock, guess ill have a more informed idea in a few days

they feel like plastic but they feel robust and sturdy to me, or are you experiencing different issues?
happy with the trackpad buttons too..they're robust..
as for the docking mechanism..you'll get used to it eventually...and it's a lot easier to dock after being used for a while.
I have no problems that seriously bother me. If you don't like it there's always the option to return it. I would not keep something that bothers me that much!
I am just waiting to see if its a case of getting used to it, will only return as a very last resort because I'm very happy with the rest of the tablet as I'm sure the majority of transformer users are!
Dock is very solid. And it has usb ports so I'm confused about your review.

Excellent choice! I think it has a lot of potential. Obviously, the hardware issues won't be resolved but the software will be splendid in a few months!
U say it has as much connectivity as an iPad yet I dont see a micro sd slot ,HDMI port, or a dock slot on the iPad, can u help me find it

i think he means why didnt they add a usb to the tablet as well so if you didnt buy the dock you could have a usb port. i think it would have been a nice feature especially on the left hand side of the tablet where the power and volume buttons are. i do like the dock option especially since it adds more battery life to the tablet.
^ Actually the iPad2 has a dock slot (smartass), it's just basically a keyboard, without any of the usefullness of the TF's dock.
The dock has USB ports, yes, but the tablet itself doesn't. I can see where kashifnazir is going with this; I'd like a USB port - even a micro/mini would do - on the tablet itself as well. If I wanted to just grab something of somone's USB stick, I might not necessarily what to root in my bag for the dock every time.
Regardless, it's relatively minor. The Transformer is still the portable computer I've been waiting for since tablets first hit the market.

I sort of noticed this issue too, but try this:
Press the trackpad button all the way out on the edge. Feels cheap doesn't it? Now press the button about halfway between the edge and the rubber bumper that the screen rests on when closed. Now, it feels almost better than some netbook trackpad buttons I've used.
My thoughts after some time on the TF
Charger: It appears that the charger is marginal at best and when used to charge the TF/Dock combo with medium battery remaining the charger overheats and either dies or shuts down until it cools. I have been charging separately and if lots of charging is needed, do it in increments. Seems to work fine. Excellent biz opportunity design a 15VDC 3.0a power supply with a USB3.0 female connector.
Dust: The plastic protective cover was covered with dust when I opened the box. Luckily nothing inside the TF. ASUS needs to revisit the assy and packaging cleanliness requirements.
UI: Would be nice to have option to move soft buttons from bottom to side of screen as they are easier to access when holding the device.
Case creek. My case is solid, but I noticed that the hinge on the dock is very stiff and I can see how opening and closing the combo by pushing on the TF could easily cause considerable stress on the case causing it to flex.
Overall for an early adopted device I am impressed.

I understand, but from a business perspective, I think it would have been a horrible idea for Asus to include a USB/micro USB port on the tablet itself. They wouldn't have the potential to sell nearly as many docks, and getting consumers to buy both parts is how they've chosen to market the Transformer.

Ive had the official one since the day it was available. Although i do like it, it isnt perfect. The phone doesnt sit as well as i would hope so. Its fallen over many times for me, enough to warrant a case purchase....which doesnt fit in the dock. In the end, it wasnt worth the extra coin i paid for it. So i say spend your 25$ on the one you see and dont look back
I'm getting a similar dock..... 4phoneaccessories.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=3555 - supposed to be getting it hopefully next week, so I'll let you know how it is.
Also, xda wouldn't let me post the full URL, so I had to remove the http and www
You can use adb with it, you can't do that with the official one.

which one the first link or the third?
I'd really prefer the microUSB connection to enable easy data transfer and adb, so I may have to try this one. Most docks with microUSB use the connection as the only vertical support but this one has a molded plastic guard to reduce the strain on the port. Worth trying for $25, imo.

Oh wow. I love that I can charge a second battery in there. Please report back with how well this works. Thank you thank you.

It works perfectly and even the phone sits firmly in the dock, much better than in the official dock. The only reason to get the official dock is if you want the clock app to activate automatically or hook it up to a stereo or something. Otherwise, get one of these 3rd party apps to charge your spare battery and phone and manually activate the clock app before you go to bed.

Hey Jak - can the Nexus fit in the cradle with a rubber/silicone case? How is the back support? I'm thinking about getting one of these but in looking at it, I'm concerned that there is not enough support to take off the strain from the USB port. Like it would cause the charging port to become loosened over time. Please let me know.

I've got this cradle and that's exactly what I do. I take off the lower part of my Seidio Innocase II Surface case before sliding it in the dock and then open the clock app myself. Been using it for about 3 weeks now without a hitch. I had originally ordered the official N1 dock and decided I didn't like the way the phone sat in it within 15 mins of opening the box and returned it to HTC. With the microUSB plug in the bottom, the phone never falls out and holds it in position for clicking on the screen when in the dock. The only down side to the dock is it has an extremely bright blue led on it that acts as a night light in my room. I've since started taking the bottom part of my case and laying it over that light. Overall, I'd say the 3rd party dock is way better then Google's.
P.S. - One other nice thing about the dock is you can charge your phone via USB or the power cord that comes with it. USB will not charge the extra battery and a phone though, so if you want to do that combo, you have to plug it into the wall.

I haven't tried it with a rubber case, but it doesn't fit with a hard case. It supports the phone around the base and slight in the back. It feels very stable.
Oh, the battery charger has 4 pins, so I think it's an intelligent charger.
I bought this one
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34205
And it's Fu**ing great. In my night stand look beautiful and if you want, it can connect to your PC also.
I recommend this one for sure, and is the cheapest. Quality is good, really nice feel - does not feel cheap.
I bought from 4u KIDI extra battery witch was broken. Now I ordered two extra ones with charger on ebay for 20$, So I didn't check if extra battery charger works on my stand.
Great...thanks everyone!

Just arrived. So far it's exactly what I wanted. The plastic support is perfectly molded to the Nexus, so the phone snaps solidly into place. There's a bright blue LED on the front, so that may be bothersome if you're using it as a nightstand but it could be covered up easily. Charging and sync work as expected. Definitely worth the price.
I agree. Mine came in yesterday and I'm really glad I ordered it. Definitely meets my expectation and has the support to reduce the strain on port - which was my initial concern. Highly recommend. I got mine from here:

So much for being able to watch things for extended periods of time. Why did they have to put the charger on the side with the kick stand out? Is this just to get us to buy the dock? And this is it for the threads I will start, I just thought that this was a horrible idea.
mods can you nuke this, there is already a discussion in another thread.
Maybe it's just my phone, but I can set the kickstand out the use the phone with the charger up.

Mine doesn't stay up like that. If I as much as blow on the phone when it's sitting like that, the kickstand folds up.
The charging port on the side is kind of silly. It's really annoying when typing on the phone while it's plugged in. When holding it in portrait mode, at least.
My kickstand isn't quite strong enough to support the weight of the phone in that position, especially with the power cord in... I guess if I drape the cord over something it kind of holds it up.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Hummmm. I may have to try that when I get back.
I saw the same issue regarding where the charge port was placed. My kick stand isn't strong enough either lol. Maybe we can wedge something there to keep it up.
I'm surprised yours isn't strong enough. Mine seems to be working pretty well. It collapsed the first time, but it does work. I just wish they would have thought this one through before placing the micro USB there. Or flipped the kickstand. My buddy has an evo and he uses his kickstand a bunch. IMO, one of the most innovative designs to come out of the mobile phone industry.

Put the kickstand out and and seat the phone STANDING UP like u would hold it in your hand to make a call, the cord will be on the bottom left side of the phone and it stands up that's what i've been doing. Hope that helps !
Yeah, but doing that makes it hard to watch in fullscreen. I would rather not do that unless I had no other choice. I think the upside down idea will work pretty well. It worked good a minute ago.
my kickstand doesn't support the phone the opposite way...it folds up before i fully let go of the phone.
Yeah that's weird because by kickstand holds my phone in portrait while charging just fine. The charging cable actually helps give it even more sturdiness because the cable kinda lays on the table acting like a brace to keep it from falling over that way.
Pretty strange design decision indeed. I encountered this at work today, trying to use the kickstand with the charger and I was like, umm, noope.
*shrug*
I bet they did it on purpose to coerce you to buy the desk dock. Lmao. And yes its annoying.

You do realize that the phone can stand vertically as well as horizontally, correct. The placement of the charger was by design.

Exactly, I'm surprised so many responses didn't pick up on that. Can't watch a movie properly in the current configuration unless you add some sort of block to the left side of the phone (while on landscape mode).
I'm not sure if this is the stupidest power plug location I've seen on a phone, but it's definitely in the top 3 (the Galaxy S phones with the plug on top are pretty stupid too, but at least they don't interfere with a kickstand designed to watch movies with).

Hey jlevy73...another Nexus S user switching away already? The Nexs S is such a sweet device, especially with CM7 on it, but it may still end up being the 2nd shortest lived phone in my ever increasing collection (the iPhone 4 getting all of a 2 week's usage before going into the backup phone pile).
The 4G/LTE of the TB along with the much better voice quality and coverage of VZW (compared to TMobile) were too tempting not to test drive the phone. I'm not sure it's a keeper for me, I'm much too much addicted to the SAMOLED displays, even though the TB has a very nice TFT one, it's not as satisfying. I'll probably keep both, and cancel my AT&T accounts. I only need 2 active phones, not 4, LOL.
ok i looked in the search and didnt see anything so im sorry if i missed the thread if there was one.. with that said im looking for opnions on the keyboard dock. i have the TF1 and my two questions is does the keyboard scratch the screen with the keys when its folded up, and two is it worth the 130 price? im torn as i would love the keyboard feature and the extra battery life but im not sure if thats worth the 130. so anyone with the keyboard could you please tell me your thoughts on this.
The keyboard dock keys do not touch the screen, so there is no problem with scratching.
If you do any significant amount of data entry (creating documents, spreadsheets, etc.),
I think the dock is invaluable. I couldn't imagine doing any large amount of typing on even
the best on-screen keyboard. The extra battery in the dock is also great.
Bottom line: if you EVER need to write anything longer than a short email or tweet, then get the keyboard dock.
i love my dock, plus you cant beat the extra batt, fyll usb, and extra storage (im using 64g SDXC)!
I can't imagine using the transformer (or any tablet) fulltime without the dock, it's essential.
There is no way I would pony £400 for a tablet-only device like the iPad2 or the Galaxy Tab, but would easilly spend that on a eee Transformer with the dock.
This is WHY the transformer trumps everything else out there.
i bought the dock for the USB and keyboard. I use this as a RDP machine so i can work remotley and it works like a dream. Extra battery life is awesome and the sd card slot in dock is great because i had a 32 gb card from another device.

The keyboard does not scratch the screen, because doesn't touch the screen, someone as said very well that... well even if the keys touched the screen there is a superb gorilla glass anti scratch.

well at least now if i go against a bow and arrow i can use the transformer as a shield. it will break but i wont die LMFAO
Just wondering if the transformer could be plugged into the dock either way? As in can you also plug into the dock so that the screen is facing you while the keyboard is behind the screen. I would assume that you cannot but it would be nice if you could dock it both ways so that if you just want a stand and don't need the keyboard you could do it that way.
Man I hope the transformer prime does get released on the 9th and has sufficient stock! I was eagerly awaiting the original but after the crazyness trying to get one I just ended up getting a BBQ instead!
um.. no? you can use the dock as a stand the normal way as well.. just don't use the keyboard I do this quite often when watching videos. Well, I mean, I guess you could do it the other way if you wanted to break the pin connector? But assuming that you don't want to do that, no you can not do that.
Have fun with the Prime! I'll be watching it to see how the developers do with it.. won't be picking one up though.
No need to assume anything. Try to insert the charging cable into the port the "other way" and see if it will fit.
Thanks for the reply. Yah I figured the connection would only work one way.
Really its not a big deal but it would be nice so you could have the screen right at the edge of the table you are putting it on. Really no biggie but was just wondering.
I don't blame you for not making the upgrade. If I had the original I doubt I would pull the trigger on the Prime either.

Haha, I was gonna suggest getting an ipad2. While you still can't put in the connection backward with the ipad2, at least you know the best tablet on the market, the one that everyone wants, can't do this and so it's forgivable.
My experience in this is that people tend to complain about everything in a less popular tablet while turn a blind eye on ipad2 weaknesses. Take light bleeds, for example. People have been crying bloody murder about TF light bleeds since day one. Most ipad2 users don't even care about their ipad2 light bleeds. And let me tell you, all devices with ips display have light bleeds.
Actually, let me suggest it now. If you want to be able to insert the connection in backwards, buy an ipad2.

Hello guys. I'm wondering if any of you know of a case with a stand capability for watching movies but one that allows the 8.9 tab to sit upside down so I can shove a flash drive in it.. It would also be great if it had a lower angle for typing but this isn't really necessary.
I know it's a stretch but maybe one of you has been lucky and found one of these.
Thanks!
I have this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OBKDFQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i03_details and believe it can do that just fine.
If I have to I can take pictures of it tomorrow with a usb dongle and thumb drive.

I personally just ordered this one Executive Roocase I had one for my iPad 2 I just sold and loved it. The tablet is put into a sleeve which has Velcro on the back so when you put it into the case to watch it you can move it to what orientation you prefer.
Thanks guys but I didn't realize that by turning the tablet up side down, the audio jack would be inaccessible
Well, anyway, I ordered the keyboard dock which will solve all my issues. I was looking for anything other than a keyboard dock, but I guess I could live with that too.
You do know they have a media dock that might would better suit your needs, right?
Yes, I do. But I thought I would benefit from the keyboard also, when I actually needed it. Kind of like all-in-one solution. Thanks for the advices guys!
