Will Best Buy release different colors of Transformer TF300T soon?

Anybody have any info on whether the other colors will be coming soon? I have the blue one I bought from best buy, but really wanted a white version....so i can return mine within the 30 day period and get the white one lol

if they haven't released colors for the previous models yet, i doubt they ever will for any of them.

Everyone is getting them in june....but white in plastic looks cheap...havent u seen the sprint galasy s2 ??

I've got a sneaking supicion that the textured ridges on the back of the tablet might trap dirt and make the white model look pretty ratty after a while.
At any rate, taht's what I told myself in order to justify buying the blue one instead of sitting around waiting for the wihte one to come out.

very true! I wonder why they like to flaunt different colors and then never release them to the US!? SMH

Red and blue would be the best bets. The white fades and scuffs easily. I imagine the ridges would show a lot of dust/dirt as well.
Bestbuy isn't great at carrying alternate colors unless its something exclusive to them. I doubt they will have them. The time table last i heard for them to come out was in late June.

I know that people are saying we will see new colors in June, but does anyone know the exact date?
And as a aside, anyone know the est. release of the 700 series?

I like the Blue TF300, but white isn't always cheap looking, my Galaxy Note i717 looks pretty darn sexy in White and Chrome.

Don't you think if people knew the exact dates, they'd post them?
There hasn't been any dates announced by Asus. Since the release of the blue TF300, June has been the expected time frame for the release of the red and white versions, but nothing is certain on that. As for the TF700, summer or early fall are the main rumors I've heard, but again, no exact dates.

They must be getting them in store sooner than online, see this-
"Backordered: Expected to ship within 7-30 days
Estimate Arrival Time
Store Pickup:
Order today, pick up on:
SANTA ROSA CA - – Pick up in 5 to 7 days"
Unless their store pick up is just messed up. Santa Rosa is the nearest BB to me, they're 70 miles south.

Thanks, I seen the red this morning myself, none available in any stores near me yet, just online for now.....I think ill be returning my blue for the red, the one I have now has light bleed on all 4 sides, and my keyboard dock looks like it might have been refurbished or something because the part that connects the tablet to the dock is a different color like a light blue than the tab and the rest of the dock itself....weird.....

Getting mine on Friday, definitely want a white one over a blue one, but need the keyboard as well.... here's hoping they'll be out in Red, White, AND Blue before the 4th of July!

bye S4 - hello Note 3

I just got the Note 3 yesterday.
Let me make it clear by saying that I enjoyed every minute of owning the S4.
But I did start a thread saying I'll probably move to the N3 when it's released.
I actually moved from the Note1 to the S4.
I'm moved from the Note 1 to the S4 primarily because of the high-resolution screen and the LTE 4G.
But I was never really comfortable because the screen on the S4 was small something that I felt suffocated , claustrophobic.
My main concern or lets day apprehension was the possible difference in PPI.
I noticed.the ppi difference between the Note2 and Note3 immediately.
Yes it's there with the s4 vs n3 but not as much.
It's mostly there with apps that haven't adapted to the large format I think.
Other than disgustingly terrible battery life, I had no issues with the s4.
I liked the s4 ,was a great interim phone but my heart lies with the large sizes creens.

After using my S4 as primarily a media device I too am tempted by a bigger screen. Having good unlimited data has really brought this phone alive. The N3 is definitely something to consider.

Hope you enjoy your new device. For me personally, the S4 is as big as I'd ever want a daily carry smartphone to be. I'm a big guy, but anything larger than the S4 is just firmly into the Phablet category for me. And the battery life on my S4 has been outstanding with Juice Defender installed.

I used my iPad far less when I had my Note 1. Mostly when I was reading rss feeds & found with mobile versions.

the s4 is indeed perfect for the majority.

Shame its got the same crappy camera as the S4 (no image stabilisation)
Otherwise it's an awesome phone I must admit!

Does it has a guest mode ?????

I also came from the Note1 to the S4 and also very keen to get Note3 for the bigger screen, but yes, the camera isn't great for a 13mp. Also, just wish my fingers were longer to hold the N3 like the S4. Also i see they have dropped the FM radio in all the phones now... damn, i used to use it a lot. Note1 had FM, S4 and N3 not. Or maybe wait for S5, maybe screen slightly bigger bridging the gap a bit more to the Note 3... dunno... ramblings of a musthavenewphoneaholic

The worst part about note 3 Is being region lock SIM. I hate what Samsung is trying to impose on us.

Weird I came to s4 from note 2 but note 3 does not interest me? Maybe note 4.
Found note 2 too big in summer wearing shorts. Maybe in 6 months when note 3 is cheaper and a swap plus some cash?

Can you see the difference in screen brightness? Apparently the screen on the Note 3 is brighter than the Galaxy S4.

I don't think I could handle a phone bigger than the S4. But to each his own

How were you holding your Note 1 ?
The N3 isn't that different from the N1.

That has nothing to do with the phone. Thats a management/administrative issue with Samsung as a corp.
Plus, just buy it from your region ?

Maybe the reduction from 5.5 to 5.0 didn't affect you.
It did for me when I went from 5.3 to 5.0 (N1 to S4).

I immediately saw a difference. Plus the S4 screen has a yellow tint, or the N3 has a white'ish tint.
I assumed the S4 was yellower and less bright because itd been used for a few months.

Its not easy. I don't have long fingers. Its about learning how to maneuver your fingers to secure a firm grip.
Easier done that said.

What do you mean? I'm running GO Launcher not TouchWiz.
Sure , I haven't removed touch wiz and its probably eating ram & CPU processing but what can I do ?

The delete icon is back on top in the gallery.
For some reason in the previous version they replaced the delete icon with the last used shared icon.
So to delete a picture you'd have to enter menu then find the delete button then press it, then confirm.
Now its an icon on top next to share and last used.
What a relief.
Why would they bury it in the menu settings anyways?

It looks like the Note 3 is better under sunlight.
What I hate with Note 3 is the high price and the fact that you need 2 hands for everything on it,apart the big screen it has nothing better

Note III isn't that "BIG" change from S4 i don't own the device but i didn't get "i must get it" since 4.3 update gets most of the "features i've seen" on the note III the new browser etc,
and if you wan't more note III features well, we can use the apps from the leak
also stock browser have been better, new thing is bad, loading pages isn't going as it once used to

I had a play around with a Note 3 a couple of days ago and I came to the same conclusion that I did with the Note 2 before it. Namely that it's too big to be practical as a mobile phone and too small to be a tablet. And that's coming from someone with big hands.
It looks lovely but it's not for me, the S4 at 5" is the perfect size for a mobile phone. And the screen looks smoother due to the increased DPI.
One thing that does interest me is the bootloader. Does it come with Knox by default?

Hello
I've recently extended by contract with Tmobile and chose Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A as my new phone. For the last year or so I've been using a Droid 4 bought off a friend, it was my first smartphone ever and I don't want to give up having a physical keyboard. I've seen lots of talk about the black or white slider keyboard case, but nothing about the silver one I would link to if not for this forum's rules. They are available on ebay, circa 20 AUS and have a shiny silver finish and flat keys partially separated with indentations.
Has anyone tried it? Are the keys touch-only, or do they actually depress a bit? I'm interested in it, since it uses much more of the available surface estate than the aforementioned models.

Note3 or S5

So I need a new phone now, I cannot wait. I have vacation coming up in a few days, otherwise I might wait for Xperia Z2. So today I am thinking of walking into the T-Mobile store and grabbing a note3 or s5. What say you? Which one should I get? P.S. I am leaning towards the note3 since I love big screens ...

Tbh, there isn't much difference in each. The S5 probably wins on specs, but the Note3 has a bigger screen. It's a matter of personal taste. Persoally, I'd prefer the S5, but as you prefer big screens, go with the Note 3

Thanks guys, I actually got the S5 for the specs... I am loving it

New strap

I bought my daughter some time ago a paracord set for kids. We played yesterday with it and we made a bracelet for her and watch strap for my watch.
I must say that even if I don’t usually like this type of bracelet, this one look amazing.
What do you think?
Maybe the video is more explicative.

Are you planning to release this dark version? I like it and ready to buy (light version is not for my taste)

Yes. But at the moment the dark one just returned from test with Samsung apparently with some date issue in chinese language.

Nice job on the band. A few years ago I got into making paracord bracelets and made some pretty awesome ones with multiple layers and designs. Might have to give this a shot. Just need to get some extra pins.
