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?..? scratching head
Great price for new or like new viewsonic. Congrats!
I'm in Pittsburgh. Want to get me one? When I search, closest for me is NY

I am in Florida, and would love to get one at that price plus shooing, and your gas money of course.
Holy crap! I'm going to return mine to Staples but I can't find the Holy crap! receipt!
I just got a return too $279.
Damn! That is some discount. I'm going to have to run by the Sears Outlet near me to see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!
I tried to price match with Staples since I ordered mine from there last week but they said they couldn't since it says it's reconditioned not new. That's a good deal but probably too much hassle for me to return it and then buy it again from Sears.
I am in Ohio, too. Where did you get yours in Ohio? Sears store or outlet store? Thanks.
Reading this again, it looks like you ordered online at searsoutlet.com then pickup at a regular sears store? Is that what you did?
Looking at searsoutlet.com now, while I can search for "viewsonic" and it shows the gtablet, it doesn't provider any further details. I'm minutes away from an Sears Outlet store that I'll stop by after work and see what they have in stock.
Can someone provide more details on this? Are we sure its a new device or is it refurb? I just got mine @ Sears for $379...
related question
What I am wondering is, are the refurbs/returns listed on the sears outlet site the only ones? So if I walk in to the nearest sears, where there are none listed according to sears outlet, do I have a chance of finding one?

Really? I am to, and I picked mine up at Ross Park Mall in the North Hills (Sears).. They should have some left, unless they were cleaned out in less than 24 hours. Good luck!
I heard about this, checked it out online, and it said the closest available one was in Upstate NY...I am in Philadelphia.
Luckily I have family right near the store in UNY, so I had it picked up for me.
Within minutes of getting the message that it was picked up. I checked the web site, and the closest available was now in Alabama. Act fast.
Is anyone else having troubles getting the product to display on the Sears Outlet site today?
Wondering if it's just me...

Myndwire,
Interesting...you seem to be using my phone too
Was the one you got in Ross Park Mall refurbished/returned?
I got mine in Beaver Valley Mall ~9 days ago just bc I was visiting family. I'm in greenfield so it's a hop skip and a jump (pray dear Lord there is no ice flood or snow)
Obviously, most of us would much rather return there ~$430-$480 purchase and buy one that costs under ~$300!! i'm gonna check searsoutlet again. maybe i'll stop at the outlet on Main Street in Lawrenceville on the way to Children's.
could anyone possibly order it for me in USA and send it over to UK (I will pay all the costs, it will still probably work out cheaper)?
I'm going to write up a separate thread on SEARS Outlet
Brain dump time.
I know all about how this works - my device was a "refurb".
@roebeet, thanks for clarifying about the refurb as that was my main question.
As many of you guys know the Asus transformer came out today in the us. But i cant seem to find one! I've called all the bestbuys in my area, none of them have even heard of it, or have any info in their systems. Amazon and most other online retailers are sold out already. Where did you guys find em, if you did.

I bought two of the TF101-A1 (16GB version) at Fry's (they had 3 total) and I placed an order at Walmart.com at like 1am, which is supposed to be here tomorrow. I haven't been able to find a docking station anywhere...online or retail.
I managed to snag one of the TD bundles yesterday morning. No luck on any keyboard docks though

You need to be a materialistic individual to be able to stay up all night waiting for the Web sites to post the ASUS Transformer on their site at 3am only to have the entire stock be sold out in 3 minutes. I guess some people do not have jobs. So now you just wait like normal people and wait for the new shipment to arrive. I would recommend you pre order one. This is troublesome to know that this happens when something new is added to the market and people must have it now! In a month you will probably see a lot of them end up on EBay as the next new tablet will arrive and they will all have to have it now!
Good Luck

Yeah, please the thread clean and on topic guys, what does it matter to you if someone sells a device to get another?
thanks

Damn it! So I went to Fry's because I thought they would atleast have it...
They also had no clue bout it... I feel like Asus left Illinois out of the loop...
And now the tigerdirect link is sold out too! Just my luck.
got mine from amazon and supposed to be delivered tomorrow.
hope you all get yours soon

you can try your luck on B&H since its a jewish holiday their store is closed and are not doing any online service til 9pm of today and the stores are not open today as well. you can check their website or go to the thread above to find the link.
They're hiding all over this planet so I had to go all the way to Cybertron to get mine.
jk, jk
I'm waiting for a brick and mortar store. I don't want to have to deal with mailing it back or waiting to get my $399 refunded in case I don't like it. So yeah, if anyone finds it at an actual store (target, walmart, best buy, other popular nationwide chain) please PM me! I have 2 weeks from yesterday till I can't return my Iconia Tab for a refund anymore.
Ordered mine at B&H at 9:00pm sharp, saved the tax and free shipping. If I don't like it ill sell it on Craigslist or ebay.... now just gotta play that waiting game

Ordered mine on BestBuy.com last night between 12:30 and 1 am or so Pacific time, after failing on a number of other sites (missed the mad Amazon dash).
I couldn't actually find the product on BestBuy's site at that time via search but someone had posted a link on the preorder/retail thread that went to the direct order page.. followed the link.. it worked! Added item to cart, chose next day shipping, was expecting to get some sort of out of stock message at some stage of the order process as had happened on a few other sites, but it worked all the way through... Got confirmation email a few minutes later, shipping notice this morning along with a tracking number that UPS now confirms should arrive at my home tmw before 3pm.
Unfortunately the keyboard dock seems to be basically vaporware at this point, and that's a big motivator in why I picked this tablet so I hope I can buy one prior to June but it is difficult to tell if that will be possible since ASUS is doing a horrible, horrible job of communicating actual availability.
Ordered from Amazon 12:00 am on launch day. Received it yesterday!
Hi, still hunting around for somewhere to get an Infinity from and I may have found a place. Stumbled across this Lola Electronics place in the UK and was wondering weather they are trustworthy? They seem to have very cheap prices so there is an element of dodgyness with them. They have a massive long phone number and a gmail instead of something fancy. If its dodgy, which I suspect it is, are there any other places I people know of and is it ok to import say a UK model to AU with things like firmware and that?
Thanks,
Also found http://www.adorama.com/ which seem to ship to Australia, but once again, not sure weather to trust these online and foreign sites.

B&H Photo Video also ships out of the US, and is 100% legit. My one gripe with them is that they don't pack for shipment very well. This has happened on more than one occasion, the most recent being the TF700T. The exterior shipping box has a pretty large crushed corner (blame UPS here), but the interior ASUS bax also had the corner pushed in. Better packing could have prevented that; and as I said, this is not the first time.

Giday matey
Hope melbourne is not keeping you indoors this winter - Indeal time to have a Tablet like Infinity to PLAY WITH !!!
UK models = European ones - which will have lots of issue eg POWER CHARGER etc ...so I would settle for ones made for USA market
.... and its lots easier to setup since its already ENGLISH = as default ! <<<I have had major issues with Transfomer TF201 series from Europe>>> not to mention warranty if **** goes south !
Now I got this SHINNY BEAST !!! (deleivered from US in weeks via FEDEX - safe quick and easy peezee not to mention ..NO TAX , no Deleiverey charges ... blah blah) am most impressed
So seach - eRetailer/*bay site for pple who will SHIP to Aust for free .......... rimes with some JUNGLE in Sth america
Hope this helps
Cheers
Thanks both for the replies! and yeah, its pretty cold down here in Melbourne, rarely getting above 15C and going down to nearly 0C which is pretty cold for us. I still need to know if I can have the refund on my Prime which was sent back for the screen clicking in and out of place, similar to the Nexus 7. If I can, then I am gonna really look around the US. A good Aussie $ means I can save a bit more. At least with the Infinity it isn't much of a risk as the Prime to ship it from overseas for warranty reasons, dont think i will need a warranty too much with the Infinity.

If you're referring to Amazon, they don't ship to Australia.
Found one on eBay from BuySPRY, shipping is USPS for only around $50 with tacking and a decent reputation.
If i did have to RMA though, I could go to a service centre in Australia right?
To be honest, I am not that annoyed with the IO problem, I had it on the Prime, and delt with it. If I get this and it sucks, I will actually buy an iPad. But I doubt it will. I am gonna try and chat to ASUS tomorrow about a refund or a replacement for with an Infinity.

Problem is... most of the programs that cause the I/O issues on the infinity are not even available on the ipad without a jailbreak.
Or I might actually invest in a decent smartphone. But still, I would love for the Infinity to be able to pan out well.
Spoke to ASUS again about the whereabouts of my Prime, its still in Sydney. The DOA assessment was supposed to be a month ago but since they accidentally sent it to the repair centre, its only happening now. But hopefully, it will come back, I will be able to refund it and get an Infinity from one of these places!
Seriously, what the hell is going on with this tablet and it's release date?
I check these forums every day for months, and I just had to make an account to ask this. I see everyone ordering from overseas, the release date was supposed to be July 14th in USA, well what gives? It's July 25th and there is NO WORD ANYWHERE.
I am getting pretty frustrated so if anyone can give me a reason why there is no date set yet, or why Asus is being so god dam secretive about it like it is the most important thing in the world ever. Also concealing a release date offers no benefit to Asus. This is dumb as ****... /endrant
Anyone have any info yet?
A quick search of the forums will show many North American stores have been selling it since ~16th of July. You can order it online through many of the American retailers (B&H, Tiger Direct, Amazon, Best Buy).

I've had my TF700 & dock since last Thursday! I ordered it on Monday from Office Depot (online).... I guess you just weren't looking hard enough!

Hey, I live in the US and I've had my Infinity for a week now. Got it from a domestic vendor too (newegg, specifically). It's out, trust me, just really in high demand and hard to find. I was lucky enough to place an order when Newegg just got a shipment in, and it was sold out within an hour.
continued ptedsel
Distribution of this tablet is trully wired. At the begining of June, I read that tablet will be aviable in England in late August.
I was very suprised, when I saw Infinity in shop in Poland. I did buy 64GB version with dock on 29 June without any problems.
Keep in mind we are a international community here at XDA. Mani are purchasing from outside the states sources because they are also out side of the states. You'll still have a little trouble getting your hands on one in store, but I ordered mine from amazon two days ago and it will be at my door today when I get home from work (I hope).
You can use the website http://www.nowinstock.net to see availability of the device in the US. Great resource for finding some of the hottest tech products.

Hey, thanks for the quick responses everyone. I have been avoiding ordering this online as I have had many problems in the past ordering devices online. Looks like I have no choice then...
Amazon has always been decent to me, I would try them except it says it would ship within 2 months....More waiting yay!

Can't be to hard to find. I ordered and got mine from best buy last week and decided I want one more so I called best buy here in Idaho yesterday. They said they would have 95 units in store this Thursday. If you look at LA California BB stores they all have been in stock since last Thursday.
Yes I see Amazon has the 32 gig in stock, but I wanted the 64 gig...
If anyone finds any 64 gig infinity in stock anywhere in America, I'd really appreciate you posting it here , thanks. As far as I can see, there are no 64 gb units anywhere in US.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C...43255117&sr=8-2&keywords=transformer+infinity
$20 more than MSRP, but the C1 is the 64GB flavor.
I actually just ordered both the 64 gig grey pad and the dock for $750 total from Newegg. Both should be here Friday.
Get em while you can people!
so, it is available and can be bought
No need for this thread then
Hello!
As Sammy accessories are very expensive in my country (80$ for battery) I am thinking to get an original battery from Washington DC as I stay there for a week.
What should be the price of the original battery 2600mah?
Where can I find it?

There are plenty of T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint stores in the area - just use the locator on their Web sites. There are Best Buys and Radio Shack stores as well. As always, give them a call to ensure they have the battery in stock before heading out.
A convenient alternative is ordering from Amazon and have it shipped to wherever you stay. If you have a relative who is an Amazon Prime member, he/she can add you for free and you get free Prime shipping.

I am afraid to get a fake battery on Amazon
Hi! Welcome to DC! Actually, I've got my back-up Samsung (proprietary) battery from Amazon and even my ZeroLemon's. They're both authentic AFAIK though YMMV... But i guess you may just have to look around to check the seller's feedbacks/ review at amazon.
But like Lost said those are pretty much the stores you can snag one during your stay here! And second on that about giving 'em a call first before going to their store just to make sure they've got 'em in-store.
Ask the hotel front desk if they will accept packages for you. Then just find the best deal online and have it delivered to the hotel while you're staying there?

I'm in the DC area, and I actually have a spare battery from having my phone replaced last week. It's only about a month or so old, and was working perfectly for me (the exchange was the result of a defect with the phone itself). I have no need for it, and I'll send it wherever you want. Let me know!
Edit: Oh god, this is my first actual post. I've been lurking for years...
