Ah, okay. So, is there interest, with BillMeLater, then? I'm just trying to figure out if it would be a good option for me. I've never bothered messing around with credit cards (just have a debit card), so I don't know how a lot of that stuff works. The way it sounds, I don't have to make any payments on it for six months, but then when six months rolls around, do I just owe the original amount of the transaction, or do I owe more?

If they say no payments for first 6 months, there is no interest. But if you're going to pay it off, pay it off before the 6 months. I don't know what happens after the 6 months since I pay it off early. I don't even sign up for these things. I pay for it all up front. Same goes with credit card bills. No minimum due payment crap.

But I think when the 6th month rolls around, you owe original. By the 7th, you owe more since you missed the payment. Best thing to do is to call BillMeLater and talk to the representative on the phone to get a better understanding and have all your questions answered. Everything I've said is based on my experience.

I just spoke to a rep for J&R and she hinted that the Champagne will be released/shipping later than the Gray (although apparently because so many people ordered the Gray, she doesn't think it would be faster if I changed my order at this point in the game).
I really feel like Asus is making a mistake releasing these during/right after the holiday season. A late November release would have been best, since that's when everyone is starting to shop for gifts.

I'm sure if Asus could have released these earlier they would have. Probably waiting for nVidia to finish the Tegra 3 chip was the holdup.

Two questions:

1) I literally just ordered the Gray from J&R with the keyboard as well, any idea when I can expect them to arrive? I am assuming my order will update with some sort of information.

2) I also just got an Amazon Visa card yesterday with the intention of putting this on it for triple points. I was upset when Amazon wasn't selling these anymore/yet. However, I did purchase with the card and through Amazon as that was an option that J&R gives you. My question is... Will I recieve triple points on this purchase?

Thanks guys!

J&R told me "early in the new year" right before I canceled my preorder with them. I made my preorder on 12/4.

I don't know why people keep asking when they'll order will arrive. No one really knows. So your guess is as good as anybody elses. If you're desperately want one on day 1, go to your local best buy or electronic store and be there early. If you're ordering online, you're in a queue and its first come first serve.

Most online places will stop taking preorders because they won't know how many tablets they'll be receiving. Once the tablet has been released and they mail out those who preordered, any left overs will be sold on the web.

[catalanor]

In stock but delayed shipping I think

 

[Rose4uKY]

I went to Amazon and it says 4-7 weeks for shipping. I am still deciding if I need the dock or not.I would like the USB and extra battery life but on my phone I use a swipe keyboard flex t 9 and don't know if I would really use the keyboard. I just want the tablet and can't find it anywhere.

I ordered mine online yesterday from BB. 2 day shipping and already have a tracking number. I would check there.

Grrr I don't understand. I ordered mine from bb on 12/23 and still don't have a tracking number

 

[flaxbourton]

Yea, same here chaguewood. Did you do normal shipping? Thats what I did and I am thinking thats the reason for it. I shoulda sprung for the 17 bucks for fast tracked shipping and it would have been arriving today! Grrr! Hopefully I get some shipping info today as the BB page said yesterday that it had been processed and usually shipped within 0-1 days.

I ordered on the 23rd, got the $17 express shipping and havent gotten any shipping notice yet. It is a little frustrating that people who ordered after are saying that their orders have shipped already, but Im trying to be patient...
