WTB - Used g-tablet (AUS)

hi guys
i'm looking to buy a used g-tablet, i'm in australia so it's much harder for me to buy from an online retailer. i have a headfi/ebay/ocau account where i've sold/bought plenty of stuff in case anybody needs some reassurance.
let me know what you have and how much you'd like for it
thanks

Id suggest Amazon mate, got mine from them, shipped to Sydney in less than 14 days. and since the price seems to be dropping, eg down to around $360 US dollars, and with our dollar atm, its the time to do it.
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1

Got mine from Amazon too, $444.14 in the end, expedited delivery, 6 days from ordering, turned up in Canberra.
Took me a few days of checking to be able to order one though, only when it's actually from amazon would it be able to be shipped to Aus, other company's that sell through amazon seem to not ship out of the USA.

+1 for amazon, a few posts below this one http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1 for $359 atm is better than what I got it for 3 weeks ago ($379)

thanks for the responses guys, i considered amazon but most of their merchants don't ship abroad and through amazon themselves it comes to about $420 inc standard shipping. i'm hoping to see if i can pick it up cheaper

Don't forget that there are quite a few really nice tablets coming out like the Elocity A10 and the Asus transformer. Those two are in my options the best options coming out soon. I am going to pick up a transformer when it comes out next month. It comes with honeycomb, 1 gig ram and an IPS screen. The G tablet is great but it will be probably a month or longer before honeycomb is stable enough to use daily. And Intel will be releasing the SandyBridge mobile processors later this year and those are going to kick some ass. Also checkout WI-DI. I can't wait. I would recommend a G tablet if you can get a good deal on one like $250. But for $400 go with the A10 or transformer. Just my 2 cents.

[Q] best way to buy

was going to wait until the keyboard dock model was out but as shipping dates are being pushed back i might take the plunge.Whats the score with getting the dock after its released

No trouble at all it seems, but only for a short period.
You follow the instructions given here.
I did this yesterday whilst I was on the train (just got my Transformer!) and was sent an invoice yesterday afternoon, which I duly paid by bank transfer. The keyboard docks should be sent out sometime in May, and the total cost was £54.98p.
Regards,
Dave

thanks dave how you finding it , is it as good as the reviews say?

Is there ANY chance to order this tablet from UK to germany? We don't even have a release date yet and I don't care about the different charger. But there's no shop that's shipping outside UK, at least not one that offers the Transformer!?
Can anyone from UK pleaase post me a link from a UK online shop that ships the Transformer to Germany/mainland Europe?

Could you buy one of the ones on Ebay?
I was thinking about buying a couple of extra ones and selling them on ebay for those who can't get one yet.

I would greatly appreciate that! All the devices that are on ebay right now ship from Taiwan, meaning a lot of taxes for shipping to Europe.
So if you sell the tablet for a reasonable price I'd definitely buy a device from you! Docking station from UK is worthless for me anyway, since it has the wrong layout (QWERTY instead of QWERTZ). Just PM me your ebay link if you sell via ebay, that would be awesome! Just ordered a device
Cheers

I´m going to the US this June.
Are there any other differences than the charger and the QWERTY ( dock )?
Prices starting at USD 399 + Tax.

just ordered mine from comet coming next thursday, so does anyone know when we will be getting the keyboard from ASUS

[q] asus international warranty?

ok deal is that I go to us for 3 weeks on Tuesday - which nicely overlaps with Asus release date...
I'm undecided whether to buy it in states or when I come back home to uk.... it does work out considerably cheaper in US than in UK....
with dock its £100 cheaper in US... £330 vs £430
without dock difference is even greater
£240 vs £379...
so even if I had to pay VAT upon return to UK (which I'd like to avoid of course) that would still only be about £45 in VAT so still £100 cheaper for tablet only...
Now £100 out of £380 thats nearly 25%.... tempting...
so my question is, what's asus warranty like? would I be covered in UK with my US transformer?

Anyone?

I'd like to know this too.... I was planning on getting family in the US to buy one and then bring it over when they come to visit beginning of May. If there's no worldwide warranty then there may be a problem! Especially with the reports of dead pixels which I CANNOT stand!

I'm also considering doing this when I head over to the states later this year. Asus laptops have international warranty so I'm hoping their tablets will as well!
Can anybody who has one check the warranty paper that came with the transformer to see if it's worldwide?
Thanks

Yes the warranty card says 12 months global cover

Ripped off in the UK as usual.
I also see there were a few of our American cousins moaning about it not being available in the States. Well, that is how we generally feel in Europe as most thing are released first in the US - Games, films, tech etc etc. Right, moan over: I feel better now!
If I were you I'd get it from the States (even buy two and sell one for a small profit over here and you'd pay even less for yours!)

I'm in the UK and thinking of buying the Transformer Prime in the US for the cost saving. Hopefully it'll support global warranty cover like the original Transformer.
Does anyone what differences there'll be between the two devices and accessories that come with it?
I know it'll come with a US power cable and the default language would be English US. These are non issues as I can get a new UK power cable and change the language and regional settings to English UK.
Anything else I need to be aware of?

[POLL] Your Asus Transformer Tablet Order Situation by Retailer

So, please tell us if you received your order and from which retailer or if you have placed an order and that order is in backorder along with the name of the retailer.

I would say that if your order is in processing, you shouldn't vote yet until there is status update. So, one of my orders with newegg is sitting on "charged" so, I am going to see what happens with that before voting.

Also - you don't denote whether you ordered the 32 GB or not. I ordered the 32 GB and thus knew I wouldn't be getting it shipped right away.

how any of these threads do we need?

Yeah, well order is an oder be it 16GB or 32GB version. I can't edit the poll, please someone edit the poll with list of all retailers and same options for them.
http://promos.asus.com/US/EeePadTransformer/etailers.html
Thanks

21st in line on NCIX.com in Canada. Hopefully mine is shipped in the next batch they receive!

Hey!!! Why no Walmart or received from other..lol. I ordered (16GB version) on the 26th and got it today around 2:00pm EST. So far it's pretty awesome

Why not walmart? I can't edit the poll anymore so a mod will have to edit and enter other retailers in.
My amazon order had small update but thats about it and it seems most of the people here have orders stuck with amazon.

I've got a preorder from amazon with no shipping estimate
An order from AAEFES that says - "Order received by supplier"
Both for the 32gb

Ordered via eBuyer in the UK last night at 9.30pm. Received this morning at 7.45am. Doesn't get better than that.

Comet UK ordered 2 weeks ago due to come today but bumped until 3/5 but at £360 and free delivery I'm not complaining
LEEDROID DESIRE HD using XDA PREMIUM

Order mine on the 4/29 from B&H. Still in backordered.

I bought mine from Best Buy at that price. You may find an slightly lower price on eBay buy don't hold your breath.

TigerDirect.com
you can get the 32GB one on tigerdirect.com for the same $399 price. They also have lower prices if you want to get a refurbished one.

First post here, yesterday I bought a TF300T-B1-BL (32mg) for $349.99 at Sears.com and i'll be picking it up this afternoon. Also, MicroCenter.com has the white ones for the same price.

+1, on Best Buy we have 3 TF300t tablets 2 blue 32 GB and one red 16 GB all purchased from Best Buy.
That said one 32 GB had to be exchanged immediately for a broken power switch, and the first 16 GB was returned for
a significant touch panel problem that was causing major but intermittent input problems and went back after about 3 days.
The tablets that survived the infant mortality period have been rock solid. Having Best Buy to deal with on an exchange is worth
the couple dollars difference in price and paying local sales tax. I don't think this is the typical falure rate for TF300t's but if you have a reasonably close BB that would get my vote.

Bestbuy Canada has both the blue and white models on for $349.98 right now. Kit version which includes the dock are still at $519.99 for both white and blue.

Sorry No Keyboard for that Price of $249.99

I can confirm this works, also. I was able to order the 16gb Memory - Blue - TF300T-A1-BL today at Best Buy for $249.99. All you have to do is go to the counter and give the associate the item number - 5089952. Tell them you want it shipped to the store for pickup. It's like getting a 10.1 inch NEXUS 7 (with SD card slot) for $50.00 more!
