This interview was just posted if anyone else is interested. I remain very optimistic about getting mine!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...our-interview-with-notion-inks-rohan-shravan/
Mine is already ordered thanks for the heads up on the interview :O
Same here. I have a PQI 3g model en route Jan 15. I'm glad my shipment got pushed back a week, I get a chance to see it in action at CES. I'm really stoked for this tablet tho. CM7 dual boot anyone?
great article. thanks for the link. ALMOST time for that video to pop up
Can't wait! It's 4:44am in Mumbai right now, and AP just published that article a couple of minutes ago, so either he sent it last night and they held it (I think unlikely), or he's up early for a long day. I'm probably reading too much into this.

No I believe he is up. Also I am worried about the matte protector that is coming with it.
I saw that too but I think that he meant a matte protector to go on top of the matted glass. It would kill the point of the anti glare matte glass if people put a zagg incredi-shield onto it. I'm hoping that's what he meant anyway. I saw a few photos of the final glass samples that they posted and they are definitely matte. we'll see I suppose. Longest day since the Nexus One came out!
Edit: My girlfriend has a matte protector for her iPhone and it makes an amazing difference to both feel and visibility. If it is similar to that I'm all for it! It sounds like he wants Adam to stay with the box, as it sounds like it functions as a stand.
really enjoyed that article. answered several questions i had.

In about 3 hours as a matter of fact.
I spent a couple years here with you fine folk back when I had my Tilt but sadly parted ways when I fell for the Apple love-fest. Anyway I'm back!
Considering this is like the 4th or 5th shipment they've gotten I'd imagine its possible that it could be a new batch of devices.
Besides the Hardware version, is there any thing else I should look at when I get it that could help out the community?
I plan on rooting and flashing it tonight so I figured if there's something new on it I could snag it and give it out.
From where?
Is this an individual order or whole shipment?
look for light leakage and non responsive touchscreen when not holding it..there are a few topics on it as im sure you probably already found.
Welcome to the EVO club and let the party begin!
From my local Sprint store. This is the 2nd shipment this week they've gotten. I had JUST missed the waiting list for the 1st shipment so I had to wait until today.
Welcome! Your going to love it! well I do. It's an amazing device!
I'd recommend unlocking nand too while you root. probably better to do it all in one shot.

For sure... i hope they are good...even if they arent... it was only 2.85 hahahaha
These are terrible. They are not properly cut. Avoid.
I got one a while ago (posted in turn Fascinate accessories forum about it). I'm only using the back part for extra grip so far. Yeah, they're not cut the greatest, but it's really not that hard to pull the apart, just might need a tweezers or something. Anyway, for the price, you can't go wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
It wasn't bad for 2.85, but like they said, the back only covers the actual back and not the sides. The front was cut great but there was a defect in my front screen and it has lines running down the whole right side of the screen. Other than that it's awesome.
I really like mine, for less than $3.00 you can't go wrong. Read the instructions before you install though.

I bought the Extreme Guard ($5 shipped from Amazon) before seeing this. It works very well. My only complaint is that while it covers the sides/edges they could've done a little better getting the cut-out to get the entire surface (it covers about 98% of the back but there are small gaps on the corners where the phone curves). Overall it was a solid deal as well. I can't comment on the screen protector's quality as I already had another one on that I like and haven't felt like swapping it out yet.
I can't post links yet but you shouldn't have a problem searching for it on Amazon
Fishy...
Anybody else getting the StealthGuards website complaining that cookies are not enabled, and a little how-to guide on enabling them in Internet Explorer?
First of all, Cookies work for me on other websites JUST fine in both Chrome and Firefox. No problems. So it seems like the Stealth Guards website wants me to be using IE. ...Like I said, it feels fishy. Maybe it's just a glitch on the site for tonight.
Regardless, I'm updating my copy of MalwareBytes(.org) and running a scan. Call me paranoid. Whatever. Oh. and they have the price for the Fascinate screen protector listed as "free" right now too.
*edit* it could be just b/c I wasn't logged in yet that it wouldn't allow me to "add to cart" but every legitimate website I've gone to in the past few years has simply asked me to sign-up/sign-in after clicking add to cart.
I saw a couple other forums where people said that the website felt shady as well. I guess I'll stick with my Invisible Shield. It may have cost a lot more, but I've already used the warranty once, and I used it once or twice on my old Cowon S9 player as well.
Hmmm about those cookies
I actually did experience the exact cookie issue your referring too, however it cleared itself up when went to the website directly and did not use the provided link to the item.
The issue occurred in FFox, Chrome and IE8 which is why I got a little suspicious, but as I said as soon as went the web home as it were, the issue was resolved.

mine for my Fascinate was perfect, no different than the Zagg product bought two years ago for my LG enV Touch , which still looks new to this day
Have any of you received yours? I'm about to file a paypal claim. Over 2 weeks since I ordered.
I got mine. It took about a week and a half. It just comes in a regular envelope so make sure you don't throw it out with the junk mail.

Dont do that bro.....they aren't fast..like mentioned it will come in a plain envelope, looks very much like generic junk mail....some people have tossed them I think without knowing it

Can you take these off and reapply or will that just mess them up?
Mine took around 2 weeks as well, as mentioned it will be in plain white envelope your "not to bad of a Zagg knockoffs" will be incognito appearing as junk mail. Although getting all the bubbles out on the battery cover is difficult (as other brands may be as well) I'm sure they will work out fine.
*side note*
Verizon sales new fascinate battery covers for about 5.00$ free shipping, I ordered 2 with government discount for 8.00 shipped. I'm coating one with spray on rubber insulation like used on grips for tools. To get a good no slip grip. 8.00 at Home Depot in a spray can in flat black.
Just to apologize in advance to posting this thread.
I really need help on a choice im on the fence about since next week I will lose my 30 day return period.
Here it is 5 Nexus S's later and almost every unit had a different problem.
1st: soft resets at least 4 times a day.
2nd: wifi doesn't work
3rd: massive screen banding.
4th: back button did not respond to touch.
Now: screen coating is peeling.
I love Gingerbread! Its going to be really hard giving this away. I love the design and profile of this phone.
I've convinced myself that its ok for the weak wifi signal and a Gps that doesn't lock as good as other phones.
I'm torn between returning it or sending it in for repair.
I also have owned every Tmobile smartphone (MT4G, G2, Vibrant), I could exchange it for one of those.
Why lol does the best phone ive seen in a while have to be seriously half-assed.
Not because of the features but because of all those problems I put above.
I want something that works pretty solid and software mix but it looks the world is in capable of doing this.
Thanks And hope some one with patience can help me out.
Idk man I just picked up nexus s today from bestbuy, I had the vibrant and the problems you've had software/device related I have not seen on mine. Mine just OTA updated about 2 hrs ago to 2.3.1. I havent had it long enough to comment on peeling but ya.
Its solid device to me so far, But I understand what your saying after 5 NS later.
Yeah I really dont feel disappointed. Just sad. lol
I dont want to send it in because thats 2 weeks without it And I HATE Samsung especially their costumer support!
Well I know ur sad about it, But in order for stuff to be changed its gotta cost samsung money that all these phones r coming back. I mean its a shame, but maybe you still have a old android phone to hold ya over?
Nope lol I sold my nexus one....worst mistake of my life I guess Ill just do the return and hopefully my patience will pay off.
What sucks is that even after six months Samsung wont improve this phone as far as defects go. Look at the vibrant lol
If you have a good one with no problems hold on to it man because I wish my luck was good enough to have a good one.
On my third one here, will use vmy black tie for another eventually. Shop around. I went to different best buys. Some get bad batched. One had 10 all with the creased glass screen. Another had none. Some of these phones were made days before the launch so though its disappointing, I believe there are good ones. I have one now but the stupid platinum case already scratched my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Like the poster above me, I would try to exchange at a completely different Best Buy. Bad batches are called so for a reason--the entire batch may be faulty.
I picked up my Nexus S at 8:00AM Launch Day and haven't had a single issue with it at all. I had to go through three MT4Gs before I returned it completely, and three G2s before I was satisfied with the last one(it still had issues, but at that point, I was tired of dealing with it). And on the screen coating thing: I don't know what coating people are talking about and if there is such a coating, then I think alot of folks are expecting too much out of it. Review/unboxing videos and my own device had fingerprints showing up the second people started using it. Do folks honestly expect touchscreen phones not to show fingerprints/smudges ever? That's unrealistic, imo.
And it's only under direct light(i.e. a directional lamp pointed right at it) that I see them at all. In day to day use, it's not an issue for me.
story like this, makes me feel a really really lucky guy, since i ordered mine by mail.
it'd have been a nightmare if it had any of those defects
I appreciate all the insight so far.....
If i do go back to an old one it would probably be the G2
but Im thinking of getting another one and fit it with a screen protector right away to stop this peeling garbage.

you reminded me of my friend who bought an iphone 4 the other day and he is like you " and me " he found a dead black pixel in the middle of the screen. the poor bastard couldnt sleep the night. stairing at it all the time. he knew he can go to apple store in the morning the next day. but still he couldnt sleep about it.
when he told me, i was crying laughing at him.
Im just going to call it quits with samsung lol They should just stick to TVs
I got a Led 40 inch and no problems!!
Im never going to get a samsung phone again and im going to make sure I book mark this sucker so if I do feel tempted Ill look back at my self hahahah
Oh and ll_l_x_l_ll, man i did have that problem with the vibrant and I lost some sleep on that man for real lol
Mine had a lot of these same issues the OP pointed out. I returned it, but not because of said issues lol.. I needed some extra cash for Sandy Bridge!

Have you tried returning your phone at another best buy? (if you can) as others have said, if your local store has a bad batch and sales are low you may keep getting units from the same batch.
Depending on the staff, you could also ask about the number of returns that store has had recently.
Seems a shame after 5 phones not to try once more in the hope you get a good one!

This doesn't sound like a bad idea whatsoever. Seriously... I'm on my 4th SNS. I just love it too much to give up. I did two swaps at one best buy, fully returned it and drove to another one. This one seems solid now, and I have a month if I change my mind, but if that's the case, I'll return it and go online. Sounds like you guys have been having luck, no?
If you look for defects you're going to find them.

Ah, what an exciting day.
I ordered my Asus TF101-A1 on Friday, and just had UPS confirmation that it was delivered about 30 minutes ago. Too bad I'm stuck at work, but as soon as I get home I will be on it all night long. I simply cannot wait to see what kind of custom ROMs are going to come for this tablet, I'm so excited.
After playing with it for a few hours, I will post my initial thoughts and impressions for all you who are considering buying, assuming you can find one in stock somewhere!
Congrats
welcome to the club. Ive been neglecting my laptop for the past 3 weeks..lol
leave it on, remote in on the TF (why do i want to say tranny?..hahaha), just took it on a road trip and was able to tether off an old Treo Pro... Played games, took pics/video with it, and didnt notice any screen glare in the day light..
all is well thus far.

... and dont panic about negative posters on the site there are plenty of hugely impressed and pleased users about including me
Yeah, I'm not too worried. I hate Apple and iOS, and I'm the guy that says iOS is for old or non technical people who like things simple. I love Android, as I have been using an Android phone since 1.6. I'm so ready for 3.1 on my TF! I can see it now...sitting on the couch, remoting into my PC and both my servers. Going to be awesome.
Congrats and enjoy!!!
Make sure that you update to 3.1 before anything else, it is well worth it!!

let me guess, slickdeals and amazon?
I just got mine, not too impressed with the stock rom, and the right speaker being louder than the left. hmm

Sears.com actually, haha. I found myself checking nowinstock hourly, until I found it show sears had it in stock, went and immediately ordered it. Shipped, it was like $417 after some $5 off rebate I got over Memorial Day weekend.
Heading home from work now to go play with it!

Well, so far so good. Played with it all night long, got it rooted and flashed to Primordial v3.1. Gotta say, I love it! I personally think the tablet feels great, and has amazing power. Can't wait to try the 1.6Ghz Kernel and see how that runs.
If I had to list cons for the TF101, I can only think of two. The stock keyboard can be a little laggy, but who uses the stock keyboard anyway? I'm still trying out different keyboards to see which I like best, so I'm not concerned about it. Also, the charging adapter. I wish the adapter actually clicked into the bottom of the tablet, instead of just sliding in. Think apps proprietary connector, unfortunately. But I guess it's good that it doesn't click in so if jerk on it or something, it will just slide out instead of tearing something up. Would be nice if the charger cord was a little longer, but eh...no biggie.
Overall, I love it.
Sorry, wrong section of the forum.
Thanks slim

I ran a search and didn't see anything. sorry if i missed it.
I just pre ordered my 3S (Verizon-US) today, hoping to get it in my hands in the next couple weeks. We are talking about a big phone here and having any kind of case will obviously add bulk regardless to how minimal like the case mate barely there options.
For those of you who are getting this phone or those of you who already have it in hand, What case are you using/thinking about getting?
I have only dropped one of my phones twice that I can remember so I'm not concerned about getting any kind of otterbox style protection case. I'm pursonally thinking about the white case mate "barely there". I have it for my current thunderbolt and it serves it's purpose, which is to provide minimal protection but enough to prevent small incidents.
if you have a case already, I'd love to see picts.
