Sour grapes, my friend, or unhappy owner?
I got one from Adorama last night for $430 - 3% back from mrrebates, so that's a total of like $418 or something. I'm hoping it doesn't drop too much on BF since I was too impatient
That's awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I've been watching this one for a bit and it's gone up and down around $470 for awhile. Going to grab one while they're at this price point though. I can't foresee them dropping anymore though at least for the time being.

Here's a list of all the Black Friday tablet "deals" from SlickDeals.net. It's updated regularly. So far, only the TF300's shown up at $279 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.
http://slickdeals.net/blackfriday/category/tablets-ereaders/9489
Good grief, I wish the price would go that low here. It's still 700 euros. (In true Dutch tradition, the shops will only sell the most expensive variant, for at least double the US price.)
I wish they didn't implement tax for California otherwise I would've jumped on that deal.

You can now buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 in the UK for £183 (233 with 50 rebate from Sammy)
Although the Tab2 is inferior to our brilliant TF700s in several ways... that's a phenomenal price difference.
Then you've got the new Kindle and Nexus 7 at similar low prices. Could be the start of a price war on Android tablets?

Anything in the lower $400's is a good price. I still have no qualms about having paid $500 for it months ago. If you're always looking at the price and getting angry when prices go down, you'll always be angry. Everyone knows that prices will continually drop for electronics.
Newegg has the TF700 for $429 now as well, plus you can get an extra $20 off if you get the keyboard dock at the same time.

Really?
Good to know.
Was that what you were asking?...or did you lose a little?
That's Technology For Ya
Ya, that's technology for ya. Nexus 10 sold out today in supposedly 24 min (who knows how many were available.) Google did so well on Nexus 7, they really are on a roll to build a brand although it will be a while before they can get people to pay $600 for a tablet or $1000 for a phone (without contact.) And the funny thing is, the TF700 is overall supposedly the better device!
I know this is preaching to the choir on this thread but is ceases to surprise me these days how obsessed people are with owning "the latest"
From Engadget review:
"In fact, other than a relative lack of resolution (1,920 x 1,200 vs. this guy's 2,560 x 1,600) the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is, we think, an overall better package. It's thinner, lighter, faster, has a much better camera, offers better battery life (particularly if you opt for the keyboard dock) and, frankly, we'd take the brightness and contrast of that 600 nit, Super IPS+ panel over this one with its extra pixels."
Nowadays, 3-6 months is "old news" for a device, so it shouldn't be surprising the price dropped. This is all pre-Black Friday positioning.
I was flabbergasted I was watching people pay low $200's for used Nexus 7 16GB on Ebay last week when you could buy a brand new one for $199 because so many meat heads assume Ebay is the place to get "the deal."
Same thing for iPad. iPad 3 Refurb straight from Apple store with one year warranty. $379 a couple weeks ago. Auctions closing left and right for $420-$440 for used from private seller! Insane. I think instead of selling lemonade this summer I'm just going to teach my kids how to make themselves $20 or $30 a pop on the "idiot spread" - well idiot is a bit strong, let's call them, "less informed shoppers."
I agree with one poster here, TF700 should be $399 considering it's been around a while and what's hitting the streets right now, but $428 ain't bad.

I was able to pick up my TF700 for $298 from Amazon's Warehouse Deals. I bought it used, but it had scratches all over the back cover which wasn't stated in the condition description. I was given a partial refund which took the price down to $298. No regrets here.

neither i just don't think this tablets worth that much considering all of the supposed issues that most users have and ASUS' unreliable QC according to most users for this particular products. I love ASUS and have their black diamond router + their 26 inch monitor with component input(discontinued), but i wouldn't drop 500~ on a sketchy product. besides at this point i'd rather wait for a decent W8 tablet to come out, which can do way more with the desktop environment than an android or iOS tablet ever could.

as you can see from the enormous line, the phone is total win.
this was taken 10 minutes before they opened.
p.s. that lady just wanted a new battery for her phone and was upset that the store was still closed.
oh man.....
Heh this makes me laugh. I was pissed this morning when I had to head down to the VZW store to get a battery for a work colleague. I was expecting to have to wait forever. They had all these roped off areas with red carpet laid down and not one person standing in line.
I think with the upcoming Rezound and Galaxy Nexus, most people will wait to compare all three before making a decision. I know I will.

we've already compared y0.
No one in their right mind is getting the RAZR, so it just comes down to the other 2.
And it's not that the Nexus is better then the Rezound(or vice versa)... just moreso which one is more suited to the individual's needs/tastes.

I'm sorry that I don't get this Moto bashing. Sure the first gen Razrs were well, not all that great, but they did their jobs well. Hey they were the most phones sold worldwide.
Either way, the new one looks pretty decent, what's the bad about it? The specs were not all that bad, from what I saw, so why the hate?

the screen is horrible compared to the rezound and galaxy nexus. Non-removable battery is another potential problem. The phone is very wide and doesn't feel comfortable in the hand at all.
Just came back from best buy looking to play with the rezound, razr and kindle fire.
1. Razr battery was dead, was locked up in a cabinet instead of on display. Got to hold it but wouldn't stay on.
2. Only 1 Rezound in stock and none on display, asked why, they said they haven't really set up for it.
3. Fire hadn't even arrived yet to be put on display.
Total fail by best buy. Best Buy, The Borders of 2012.

heh.. the Best Buy Mobile in the mall here had 'dummy' RAZR & Rezound phones on display. They said they have Rezounds in stock, but have yet to receive any RAZR's.
reminds me of when the hd7 launched on t-mobile. Had to go to 3 stores to find one that even had a demo unit. None of them had set up for it on launch day. Sad that carriers don't get it. If you advertise the phone, it will sell.
Yeah I don't particularly care for the RAZR (or any Motorola products). That being said, I got to play with the RAZR and it was okay. The screen sounds bad on paper, but in person, its not the end of the world. Screen was passable, still totally usable. My store actually sold just 1 RAZR, but it was a more of a swap than a return. Haha.
But then I got to play with the Galaxy Nexus and that screen was muchhhh nicer. ICS was all flashy, and to be quite honest, a bit confusing, but I guess that's expected since a lot has changed.
Also played with the Rezound and I very much liked that phone. Screen was also beautiful, and still quality HTC build materials.

The first T-Mobile store that I went to had a live demo sitting behind the counter. I got to play with it while they activated my HD7. This was a week before the actual release day too. But yes, I agree, having phones out helps to sell them.
I entered the 11/11/11 sweepstakes on Verizon's Twitter and i won a free Droid Razr, nice! I will be giving it to my wife maybe of she performs ( insert lude sex act here ) for a ( insert a crazy lenght of time here ) I wish it came a few days back I mean come on I just bought her a phone off ebay for 100 bucks.

Review is up! Click here
*Just a foreword...I am not saying that this QI charger is better (or worse) than the Orb. This is not a comparison of any sort. Rather, I'm raising attention for this charger for those unable to get the Orb (pretty much everyone outside the US) and/or those who personally do not like the Orb. With that said, let me give you my thoughts*
Right, so I stumbled upon this very good looking QI charger for the Nexus 4, and I think it deserves a thread of its own.
Clicky here to see the product. You will find high quality pics/renders in the listing.
For a start, it looks miles better than those unsightly large ones being sold by fasttech, and the plasticky (is that a word?) "small" ones. This charger looks truly compact and I love the aluminium finish. The charging light is also well placed and not obtrusive. IMO, a beautiful device like the Nexus 4 should be used with equally beautiful hardware.
Another bonus is that this charger is actually from a reputable brand (at least in China) called Metrans. Again, I find this to be a more promising sign of quality than what the unbranded ones have to show for.
My point being, if for whatever reason you cannot or do not want to buy the Orb (I live in the UK and personally prefer to place my gadgets flat), this charger may be worth considering. I certainly think its worth buying over the massive ones sold by the likes of Energizer.
At $59, it's by no means cheap but I think its a double edged sword. Quality is usually proportional to price (Apple being the exception)
Unfortunately this seems to be a brand new product so I was unable to find any reviews. I have taken the leap however and bought one so I will update you all once it arrives. I expect it to arrive in about a week, so keep an eye on this thread if you're interested

My purchases from China usually arrive in a week
Also I did say this was for those not interested/unable to buy the Orb. It's a mixture of both for me
A final point...you say "$60 for a cheap charger", are you aware that the Orb costs the same? And $60 is by no means cheap.

Looks a lot cleaner and more attractive then the orb. The tilt of the orb has more worried about it sliding off but im not sure what its made of i just dont know why they made a charger thats tilted. But nice Post bro

Yh I noticed that as well, but I guess all sellers have to start with zero feedback right?
Anyway I sent him an email and it appears that the first few chargers (i.e. mine) are being sent from China but inventory will be made available in the UK in a few days.
P.S You can also buy the charger from here. Appears to be a Chinese marketplace for foreigners (like fasttech, dealextreme, etc). However the price is the same.

Quite the opposite for me, I prefer it to be flat, won't have to worry about the slippage issue some people are complaining about.
Also yh, this already wins in the looks department but hopefully my review will show that it functions just as well
I like the design. But being almost identical to the orb's pricing makes it hard for US-based buyers to justify the purchase.
I'll hold off from buying the orb for now and wait for your review.
The ebay seller is a lying sob. He claims he's a EBAY TOP RATED SELLER.
To become such a seller you need to, and I quote "Have at least 100 transactions and $1,000 in sales with US buyers over the most recent 12-month period." and "Have an eBay account that's been active for at least 90 days"
See all requirements here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/top-rated.html

Wow, calling him a "sob" seems a bit harsh. He has a small image at the very bottom of the listing saying "eBay Top Rated Seller", that could have easily come as part of the template for the listing. Anyone can see his seller rating so it would be very hard to mislead anyone.
I look forward to receiving the product doing a review so that I can prove you wrong.

it's not part of a template, it's something he intentionally added to his listing. You should be cautious with ebay sellers from china with low feedback like this and claiming that he is a top rated seller just shows the seller might be dishonest about other things in his listing. Not saying you wont get what you ordered but who knows what the quality will be like until you can review it. Ebay can be pretty sketchy esp. sellers from china imo, i wish they would add a review feature like amazon.
LG has released the WCP-300 Wireless Charger, a new Qi-compatible wireless charger that works with the Nexus 4 and other Qi compliant devices. At only 6.9cm in diameter, the WCP-300 is designed with portability in mind. It is compatible with standard 5-pin micro-USB chargers.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to an exchange for one that doesn't slip.
Problem is none should be having the slipping issue, especially if I'm paying 70 bucks for one. Why risk wasting my money on something I'm not sure will not have a problem. I'll pass on going through all of that hassle and look elsewhere (which I'm currently doing).

I just bought a BRAND NEW TF700 dock from Office Depot in the hopes that it would be one of the original re-labeled TF201 docks.
Sure enough, it was!!
If you're looking for the original TF201 docks with the BIGGER BATTERY, try Office Depot. If it doesn't work out, you can always return it as long as you do not open the package.
Here's what you're looking for on the outside of the box:

On the inside will be the TF201 dock with:
all aluminum chassis instead of plastic (model AD01)
bigger battery
it also comes with a rubber USB port cover which the new TF700 updated model AD01 does not come with
it has stamp-engraved port labels instead of painted on labels (model AD01)
tilt and balance issues of the TF201 dock are highly exaggerated. This is a friggin keyboard dock, not a SUV. Even if it does tilt (which it doesn't), what's so hard about catching it with your finger? Not like you're gonna roll over 3 times and die from it
Do not try Walmart, I already did and their TF700 docks are the AD01 models.
Office Depot seems to be one of the few remaining places still carrying brand new re-labeled TF201 docks.
I got mine for:
$150
- $25 off $100 Staples coupon I bought from Ebay for $7.50 which they honored (YMMV)
==========
$132.50
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which is an awesome deal considering what these are going for used and refurbished on Ebay!
Good luck!
There is a reason that Office Depot still has them - it's because their return policy is absolutely horrible! Once you open that package, you cannot return the device, period (other than an exchange for the same model). So, say you get home and find you don't like the keyboard dock - too bad - you are stuck with it!
I will never shop @ Office Depot again since I found this out - I have a feeling that a lot of others are doing the same. It's absolutely ridiculous that you can't return an item!
Just a heads up!

Really? If we're talking about the same Staples Office Centre, then they are one of the most reliable electronic shops in the Netherlands....
As for them not re-excepting an opened box makes complete sense: at least you can be sure you're not silently being sold someone else's rubbish. Sound like a good thing to me. What you really do not want to know is how many stores sell you the crap other people return.
And since you can't trust people to be honest when they return a device, I quite like this policy.

When I'm spending the kind of $$$ that these devices cost, I'll be damned if I don't have the option to return something if I end up finding that the device doesn't meet my needs after all - or doesn't work as expected. Hell - the TF700 is a perfect example - if I decided that I didn't want to unlock and root my device, I may have returned the device due to the poor stock OS performance. But not at Office Depot - you would be stuck with it!
In the US, Office Depot is the *only* retailer that I am aware of that doesn't allow returns. I've never had problems with buying items that someone returned - in the US, items like this are clearly marked as "open box" items - if they are resold at all.
But anyway, to each their own - I just thought that I'd warn folks, because (at least in the US) Office Depot is the only retailer that I know of that has this terrible return policy - and most people aren't aware of it - it's not something that Office Depot likes to advertise!
Typically, I'll do as much research as possible on a product, but there is nothing like using a product in your home for extended periods of time in order to make sure it is going to fit your needs or to make sure that the product works as described - the ability to return something in this type of situation is absolutely essential in my opinion, especially when we are talking about expensive electronics. And really, since other retailers in the US do price matching, there is usually no reason to ever shop @ Office Depot since other retailers will price match them anyway (obviously, in this case, you are trying to get something that Best Buy may not have though).

I suspect the diffierence lies in that we have NEVER been able to return a device if the box has been opened, let alone if the device has been used, for however briefly.
That's the basic European policy. Opening the box kills your return right on electronic devices. (With the exception of a factory defect, which falls under the warranty.) We've never known differently. So yes, I am ok with it.

Ahh, I see... Yeah, I guess if all stores have that policy where you live, then you really don't have any choice anyway! So, you kinda have to be OK with it, I guess!
Then again, I think that you guys get longer warranties on your electronic devices, so...

We're simply not used to anything else. We buy our stuff differently, it's a whole different mentality. Wether or not the need to think really hard twice about what you buy is a good thing we'll leave undecided.
EU Directive 1999/44/EC states that all EU members must give their customers a default minimum warranty of 2 years. (And no, Apple still does not honor this. But if you have a yearly revenue of $156.5 Billion, what's a laughable 2 million euro fine. ) Most companies offer three years, with some offering 10 (Canon) and some offering Lifetime. (Sinner, North Face (no tech ones as far as I know, though.))

Your prices are really good. Wish we had them that low in Germany too...
Did pay more for faster shipment. I just order mine and it won't deliver til 30th
Ordered the wrong one by accident, wanted the 64gig one but got so scared that I will run into order issues and choose the 128 one by mistake. Oh well.

I mean... not the WORST mistake you could make I guess. lol. More storage space is always nice! Personally I wanted the NON-SHINY black version, but it wasn't worth spending an extra $50 for (not for me anyway).

Where do you live? I pd the 7.99 extra and it says arrives on friday.
and i ordered the midnight black 8/128
zero use for the extra storage, i keep maybe 10 apps, no music or video, maybe better when i sell it though some day.

Detroit MI USA- and yea, selling it later will likely return a good amount of the money you paid for it. Seems like OnePlus phones (especially after the 5) retain value a lot better.

once I get it on friday hopefully, I'll let you know
I ordered the 128gb model and also used the $20 voucher for accessories that somebody posted in xda. I got Karbon case for $10
Still debating selling my 5T for the 6. The mirror back is so nice... Decisions.
I ended up buying the 256 gig model. Worked out because I wanted the matte black anyway. Also got the prime bundle and a car charger. Coming from the 1+3t (wife will get that) I'm super excited to upgrade.

You're paying the price of a socialist government. Enjoy!
