So I'm creating this thread to track availability/delivery of the 32 GB version of the Asus Transformer. I pre-ordered the 32 GB version from Amazon 3 am CST on the 26th, and my order indicates the following.
"Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date. You can cancel at any time."
I haven't heard of any 32 GB availability as of yet and thought it'd be good to see when people actually start getting their hands on these units. I've seen on sites like CDW an estimated availability of May 14th?
Please add any info, links or dates you've seen as to when the 32 GB Transformers might start shipping.
Same deal for me. I'm giving them two more weeks to ship, which I think is beyond a reasonable expectation for a model they say launched. If it doesn't come in by then I'll cancel and just wait for the newer tablets coming out in June/July.
I am in the same boat. Ordered from Amazon at 3AM EST. Keeping my fingers crossed that these exist and just didn't go out with the first batch. If I can just get it within a week or two I will be happy, three to four weeks I will be slightly disappointed at the wait, and anything longer I will probably move on to Samsung.
Yea I'm given it till May 13th or thereabouts to get it out. Hoping its just a matter of Asus actually delivering them to amazon/other retailers, similar to the dock at the current moment.
I'd maybe cancel and go to the tab if it has a price somewhere in the same ball park as the transformer. Any other tablets out there that will be coming out in June/July that would compare - samsungs is only one i know of at the moment unless there is some google/nexus tablet annouced at Google I/O.
Samsung, Google and Amazon are the ones I hear about. Of course only the Samsung is solid. Dell I suppose but they seem to be way behind the curve so far. Sony will probably be very late to market and overpriced, nothing new there!
Not many replies, could we be seeing a substantially lower demand for the 32gb?
Does this bode well for us? I mean if demand is low and Asus knows it they may focus on the 16gb and leave us hanging. Alternatively they may push out a bunch of 32gb in the knowledge they'll still move and do so at a more profitable point.
I pre ordered from BnH, but no idea shipping date. I have the Acer, but will most likely be trading that back in before the two weeks at BB. Honeycomb, at least on the Acer, has been a buggy experience. Would love the Acer if it had a 32GB model, but who knows how long until they even arrive from Asus, so who knows.
Also, don't buy a Samsung product like the tab, Samsung mobile products are over priced garbage the last few years. Just ask any honest Sprint salesman. Samsung's Q/A sucks and they have poor quality products'

I pre-ordered the 32gb on the 26th (12am for me) from Amazon. It would be nice to have it before my birthday, but I'm sure its not going to take that long.

me too. pre-ordered at TG initially and then Amazon (initially with Target and then subsequently via amazon directly). Have cancelled the Target-using-Amazon and TG. Hopefully this will arrive soon. Else am moving on. It might either be the Toshiba or Samsung.

That's my plan too. I pre-ordered the 32gb from J&R at 1:00pm on the 26th.
I sat and watched people buy the 16gb from newegg. I think I could have got one, but I wanted the 32gb. We'll see what happens.
I might call J&R tomorrow to see if they know anything (but I doubt they do.) From what I've read they seem to be the most honest of the stores selling this thing.
I will report back if I hear anything.
I have an order with AAFES and a Preorder with Amazon. No word on when either will ship though.
From CSR at Amazon. They expect it to ship on June8! time to move on?
I ordered from B&H as well. No word. I will also give it 2 weeks.
Walmart had it for a few seconds/minutes. Hopfully the CSR at amazon was wrong.
In the same boat...
Hello all. Just checking in. I've got a preorder in with Target through Amazon as well. I'll be watching this thread and I'll post something if I hear anything through the grapevine (or the accounts page). I'm thinking maybe a simultaneous "launch" for the 32 Gb and the dock around 5/14? Thoughts?

Wow. Thats awful, I wonder if the 16gb i ordered to replace my xoom will be quicker.
I think Amazon is giving everybody a date in June for anything to do with the Transformer so that they can surprise customers instead of letting them down if something further delays the items. I am personally keeping my fingers crossed for a dual release of the 32GB and the keyboard within the next two weeks.

Sure hope this isn't true. I kinda doubt a Amazon CSR would have inside knowledge as to when they are getting them from Asus. I too passed on ordering the 16 GB elsewhere, and kinda kicking myself now. But with a 32 micro SD sitting on my desk I'll hopefully have a 64 GB tablet in matter of a few weeks!
Saw that the walmart page went live indicating in stock (now out of stock) - thinking it was an error but interested to see if people get tracking #s.

Amazon definitely suprises far more often than disappoints.
I would auto refresh the Walmart.com order page.
It came up twice for me. The first time I was in the process of ordering and it popped up that the item was out of stock during the order process. The second time it popped up the page refreshed when I saw it and it was out of stock.
I think they are populating as they arrive and are being sold. But, it could be a glitch in their system.
Someone else on the other thread was able to successfully place an order.
I just snatched a 16GB one from Fry's. Seems Fry's are getting some 16GB ones at store locations in dribbles now. Gotta check for in store pickup. Might check for 32GB versions there as well periodically.
I think they just made it available today. I've already ordered mine. Pretty similar to the price it's sold for in Canada.

I just got a call from them they are shipping it tomorrow and I'll have it on Friday.
Ditto to what drew said
I also placed an order this morning, will let you all know when it arrives.
I have not seen it yet but there is a + to this? who knows what it would be?
ordered one too...im a picture quality sucker and this phone has it.....
Just talked to Martin at GSMnation. Mine wont ship until Friday. They have had 50-60 orders for this phone in two days. Apparently they've been shipping them out this week, Hopefully BagOfSnakes got his in a lot earlier than my order so he gets his by Friday.
Mine still hasn't shipped either, I got feeling they put this up for sale without knowing exactly when the product was arriving. I've been keeping a close eye on the internets and comparing online retailers. I posted the day they put the Arc up for sale. Unless they had tons of preorders we should be the first few. But I don't even think they had a North American Arc up for preorder at all. They already charged my CC too. That better mean they actually have the phone in their possession to be sent.
I contacted their live chat today and asked about the Silver color. They said that they plan on selling the silver color soon and he advised me to check back next week.
Just wanted to share this info in case people are interested in the silver like I am.

I spoke to the SE folks last month and they mentioned that they did not have a release date for the US. They mentioned that it was going on sale in Canada towards the end of April and that an unlocked version would be available in Canada towards the mid-end May timeframe.
Hopefully, the information I got was incorrect and you guys get your phone soon!

I am sure you can exchange it, can't you?
For whoever ordered this, I should say what they are selling is Rogers branded phone.
+probably no US warranties.
title says it all...since the galaxy s2 isnt available by any carrier yet...where is the cheapest place to get it? Ive only seen it on expansys...any others?
Prices seem to be slowly but steadily decreasing, here are probably the best places to keep an eye on.
Amazon, Google Shopping, and eBay. I would post links, but I don't have enough posts yet. You can find direct links at pastebin.com / mLf88e7L (without spaces ).
Amazon has them for like $689 right now + Prime
Try unlocked mobiles its the chepeast I found
Then Amazon then handtec then expansys
Thanks for posting as well; I'm thinking about getting one; I'm hoping to stay under 700.

get a sd card if u dont have one ( for backups etc - CWM )
I just bought mine from an Amazon seller (Warehouse Distributors). It was $684 with free shipping.
It just shipped, so I'll update you guys. I am a bit worried that they will screw me somehow (seem small, don't have their own domain for email or website), but calling them got to a live person, and seem friendly enough. In fact, they were able to pricematch when their price dropped a day later by $14 (was $698 when I ordered).
I hope it's not an open box or a box of rocks. Actually, if it was a box of rocks, it'd be suspicious even without opening since the phone is super light!
Either way, I'll update you guys on how it went. I'm expecting the phone by the end of this week.
i placed my order @ mobilecityonline.com last week. it was $699 + $4.99 shipping - $20 online coupon = $684.99 shipped. however, its price has risen since then, so apparently it was temporarily on sale. basically, just keep looking around bc its always changing on different sites, and look out for coupons.

I was hesitant about buying from most of the import sites in the US but surprisingly mobilecityonline has far less negative reviews than other sites dealing the sgs2 such as popularelectronics.com or negri. I received it just like they promised via fedex no issues. They even called me and emailed me to confirm my purchase and stressed that i have 14 days to return it.
The only gripe is that they listed it as the UK version but when i got it, it said Samsung Romania on the label and included non-english manuals. Also, the US power adapter that came in the box isn't working for me. No biggie tho bc everything else checked out. Used it for 2 days now and so far im satisfied.

US power adapter in the box? Did they open the factory box to put it in there?
I didn't even think of them putting another country's phone in there. I would be expecting the UK version.
I would expect a US power adapter included with an international phone. Any others wanna chime in?
And the box was factory sealed.

Amazon seems to still be the cheapest place to get the SGS2 (~700 dollars, give or take a couple).

Why suck my grits. After I took a risk and bought it from an Amazon seller, I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176292
It doesn't get any better than $689.99 + $5.99 shipping from none other than NEWEGG.
A trusted place with excellent customer service. Can't go wrong with NewEgg. At least it will benefit the people who waited.
Now... say thank you!
nfc included?
I wonder, does the newEgg version comes with NFC?
Also, been that it is been bought from an U.S. seller, can I get warranty from squaretrade for this phone? I know can i can buy it in the u.k. and get squaretrade in the u.k., but i dont want to have to send it to squaretrade u.k., I prefer the u.s. squaretrade.

Finally got it yesterday. Was in a unpadded box. But turned out okay for the most part.
Had a US power supply. Looks like a Latin America model (primary language on the box was Spanish, and so was the manual).
I found 5 green pixels when viewing a dark gray background.
ordered mine last week from amazon for 689 with FREE prim 2 day shipping. I payed the extra 3.99 for one day shipping. I had no issues with the shipping process, everything went smooth. One important thing i will add though is that when i recieved my phone the battery was completely dead, i had to keep the phone on the charger for about an hour and a half before i could turn it on. Eventually i put the phone in download mode and then pressed the down volume rocker which restarts the phone. My version was in polish, so it took a few moments to find the language setting and switch it to english. I found the whole preces pretty cosmical and my friends think im crazy for purchasing an unlocked european phone. But then again they all have Blackberrys so there opinion is moot lol. Im loving my phone right now and dont remember the last time i was this satisfied from an expensive purchase.
edit... i just read that some people had some worries about the shipping condition. my phone was shipped in two boxes. the first was the standard shipping box. then it was in a bigger cell phone style box. similar to what you would get from a carrier. this box was a little beat up, but thankfully the official samsung box was inside in great condition and still sealed. so for who ever was wondering, my us dongle was in the second box not the official samsung box where the actual phone, earphones, sync cable, and euro charger was in.
Handtec is offering £404.98 (shipping included) for North American buyers. That's only 570 Cdn.... It's suprisingly lower than the pricetag on amazon or other non-Euro sites. The price's been decreasing, too. Anyone know why the price has been decreasing steadily (as mentioned in the previous thread)? Is it because of the upcoming iPhone 5 or because of market saturation in Europe? I might order one after Canadian carriers confirm their models. I refuse to buy a SGSII with the LCD variant
I so want it but i'm not going to have the cash till the end of the week. i can't post link just search "Asus - Tablet with 16GB Memory - Brown" on their site.
I went and looked at it today and while I really liked it, I'm having a hard time spending the money with the Prime right around the corner. Definitely a great deal...
I'm looking to get one soon and I'm not sure about the "brown" part of the deal. I've seen it, it looks more like bronze. It's not completely hideous but I wonder if the price won't drop just a little more when Prime is released or during an after Christmas sale.
Must have been a very short time that they had that up. I'm looking at their website now and it's $399.
It's up for $299 again. I just ordered one.
I guess you need the secret link... search for tf101-x1. I was able to order tonight. I'll see if it ships.

It's still available. Search for TF101-X1.

D'oh! Just ordered one this morning for $349 from B&H.
Still very excited to receive my first tablet
I wonder why they changed the model numbers and why bestbuy is showing this as a "New" product, and they also have the original for sale for 399. go figure
The og was model TF101-A1 (B1 for 32gb) and this one is TF101-X1... I wonder 1. why they changed the model # and 2. Why on earth would they still sell the A1 model for 399 when the X1 is 299???
I got my TF101-X1 on Black Friday, and I think the only difference is the box...basically brown with no picture. My guess is that BB is going to try to sell the leftovers from BF on-line, vs. leaving these in the stores. It's also a B90, so the best way to root it is via Razorclaw. I wasn't sure if I wanted it because of the impending release of the TF201, and didn't even open it until I found out that BestBuy will take it back all the way up to January 24! with no restocking charge.
Anyone thinking of ordering from bestbuy.com might want to read their forums, they are having some kind of meltdown that is resulting in a LOT of complaints.

The reason for the different sku # is where they don't have to price match the black ones. Got to love their commercials about how they will price match though.

Yes, well, I agree, but I wanted to warn people without turning this into a BB bash thread. I'm waiting for some orders from BB myself and I'm not happy about it. They are pulling the stock number trick with the Transformer, and there is even a thread about that on that forum (not me!), so you can only get it at that price on line.

Lots of TF went back to ASUS for various reasons over last 5-6 months. it is possible the "X" stock numbers are refurbs. Be interested to see what serial #s are.

They would have to tell you it was a refurb and the black friday ad and the current ad say nothing about a refurb. The X1 stock number is to make it harder to price match since no other stores have that model number.

Exactly. A lot of stores have done that for a long time to make it harder to compare. It used to be that if you were big enough Sony (for example) would make a special run for you with a slightly different official model number. Now they just lie and enter it into their system with an extra "X" or "1" or a couple leading zeros so they can disclaim any price match. Bestbuy.com is not actually associated with the stores, and they like it that way; they can and do have different pricing. The stores don't have to honor the on line prices.
I picked both tablet and keyboard dock from bbuy on blackfriday and was too surprised they arrived in a bronze color instead of black. But the color is nice and gives it a distinct look unlike all the others in the market. Works well and is pretty fast, screen is awesome.
Going to grab another one if it is still at $299.
thx for headsup!!!
Loss Leader Pricing… Walmart is not alone in this strategy.
While it is true big-box merchants are able to have suppliers build BF-specific goods, fortunately the BB execution of the X1/vB90 is only different in packing (BB is big enough for this). I have not seen/read indications the X1 is not the A1. With TF201 around the corner, the timing of the marked-down TF101 was perfect. My 2hrs-40mins start/finish is well worth the T1.
The BF rush works, last I read BF-2011 wkend made $37.6B (yes that’s a B). Just take look at what folks are buying through the checkout queue – items at full retail.
On Motorola's US site it says the G4 is in stock and estimated delivery July 21st. I didn't go past that on the order form but wasn't sure if it was available. Next day or 2 day shipping options anywhere else? Where do you guys suggest. My old phone payment will come out Friday so hoping I can get this done by Friday and port my number to the new carrier. AT&T is most likely the option for me.
Your local Best Buy likely has it and their (our) website has shipping available to most places in the US for Monday (or Saturday if your local UPS does it)

It has to be built and shipped from China. If they say 7/21 it's probably right, maybe 1 day sooner.
Thanks guys. Yeah I don't need a custom phone just want the 64 GB 4GB version. I work at Amazon and usually use Amazon but listings got screwy once it was released. The pre-order prices were all dead on. Post launch its over priced crap sellers. The official one in the listing said 2GB Ram 64 Internal so I could see a potential wrong phone shipped to me. Its a tough work week with us having prime day the 12th so a lot going on. I might not get a chance to get to best buy until Friday. Can I leave their with a working phone on pre-paid or would I have to do all that in the car on the way to work and hope its easy. I'm a use the PC type guy. I really don't want to run the chance of being sold out. I don't know how sales are going. Really don't want to wait til Friday to have a back order happen to me. I had a OnePlus 2 but after enough research I sent it back after a week without it ever being hooked up. Just way to many hardware/software issues from that phone with horrible customer service. That company gives off the feel that a real small group built a phone with expensive parts. Rushed through the process and hired 100 amateurs to build their phones and fix them. So basically I've been on a Rooted JB to KitKat Dual Core, 1GB Ram phone since Xmas 2014 and honestly I'm excited like a kid, ha.
