Order page is UP!! Who bought one? (DOCKS too!!)

For the record, I've been checking since I read others having this problem. The warning did not show until yesterday. If you preordered, especially immidiately after it was available, check and see. LURKERS COME OUT AND POST. I think it will bring peace of mind to many if we know what's happening to them all.

Also, for me to see that message I had to go all the way down into the most detailed level of my order status. It didn't show on the page where it summarizes all of my outstanding orders, or on the first level page where it summarizes just this order (on that one it just says no shipping estimate is available) -- I had to dig all the way into the order details of the specific order to see the message.
 
The following item will arrive after December 25, 2011.
Delivery estimate: We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date.

That's all it has ever said for me so far.
 
Ordered mine from Tiger Direct. It now shows as being backordered, but I called them and verified that it just shows that for pre-ordered items. They said I am in the first batch, and the backorder status will change as soon as they get their shipment. Patiently waiting...

How did this work for you - did you get charged up front or will you be charged once it's shipped? Is there any way to get free shipping? Seems a little ridiculous to have to pay shipping on $650 worth of stuff! I'm going between TigerDirect, and NewEgg right now, and neither have tax for me, but both charge shipping haha.

I'm going to be ordering mine from TigerDirect as well but I'm going to order through Mr. Rebates. 6% cashback FTW!

You're complaining about a $10-11 shipping? I'm happy just not having to pay tax! NYS tax is 8.75 and that's almost $45 on a $500 item. I'll pay shipping any day.

I signed up for Chase Freedom. I get $300 cashback if I spend $500 within the first 3 months. This one purchase alone meets the requirement. So technically, I'll be paying under $200 for Transformer Prime after my $30 cashback. SCORE!

What I want to see is what kind of cases and accessories will be available. I'm not interested in the dock. If I was to get a dock and tablet, I might as well just get a REAL laptop.

I mentioned in another thread, but I just cancelled my order for a 64G on Amazon.com and went to BestBuy.com to get my 32G. I figure that I can use an Sd card w/32G if I even need more storage.
Saves me money, can now walk down street to BB if repair needed opposed to mailing to Amazon, and getting before Christmas. Win-win for me.

Oh....I am so waiting for the accesories also. I can't wait to see cases and accessories either.
 
I ordered the gray 32gb and BB says estimated shipping 12/18-12/23. Im on pins and needles that thing is gonna be sick on ICS.

Heck Id be suprised if most people even need more than thirty two. But the nice thing is you can swap multiple SDs and store diff stuff in diff places.

I have a somewhat off-topic question about the Prime. When I get my Prime and I log onto my Google account, will all the apps that I have on my TBolt also get downloaded on the tablet? I know the contacts will as will the calendar. I was curious about the apps. Thanks!
 
I preordered from Amazon early on the 22nd. Just got an email from them cancelling the order. Great.

Hello,

Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:

"ASUS TF201-B1-GR Eee Pad Transformer Prime 10.1-Inch 32GB Tablet (Amethyst Gray)"

We've canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. If you see a charge for the canceled item, we will refund you within 1-2 business days.

Wow. that is hard to believe that a place like Amazon wouldn't have enough stock to even put you on backorder. I thought it was odd when they took down the page and you couldn't even search for it anymore.

It is sooooooo unbelievable that they canceled your order when you placed it on the FIRST day that they posted the preorder on their page. Now I'm even more glad that I cancelled my order with them earlier this week.

Don't give up....try NewEgg or other vendors mentioned on this site that are still accepting and promising shipment. Good luck.
 
Right after getting my tf101 from BB on black friday, I just pre-order my prime in champagne,BB as usual, not sure yet if it's totally worth it but there you go. I have an Ipad 2, and I'm not totally convinced tegra 3 will have total support from major manufacturers. Time will tell. but without dedicated apps/games/OS taking advantage of quadcore cpu, there is no much sense on buying one specially at this high tag price.
