I heared you get Taiwanese/Chinese(?) letters above the normal letters, should look out if you don't want that..

Yeah, it says right on the ebay page "Please Note: The keyboard is English and Chinese symbols."

:( Damn - would have saved myself $50 with shopblt -

Really wanted to have the keyboard when my Prime arrives in a few days however, so I'll pay for the privilege of not waiting on a pre-order list.

English is the primary language on the keys, and Chinese in tiny print in the right of the each key. If I ever want to learn Chinese I'm set :D:rolleyes:

I find it weird to see you guys scrambling to get a dock, over here its a mandatory part of the 32gb package.
We only have 32gb with dock, and 64gb without dock, both packages priced the same.

I bought mine from this guy. I personally had a great experience with the transaction and received tracking information very promptly. I have no idea how this happened but I received it in about 8 days. I was expecting it to take at least 5 days to clear US customs alone and wasn't really expecting it's arrival so quickly. Your mileage may vary.

The Chinese symbols don't bother me very much. I don't really look at the keyboard when I type anyway.

You mean $50 over the original price, or over $185?

There's a great number of them on eBay in the $220-250 range.

Mine arrives tomorrow from Abe's of Maine, exactly 6 days after ordering it (I ordered around midnight so really 5 days plus we had another holiday for shipping.)

If I didn't want it sooooooo bad I would be tempted to profit on it. Ain't happening.

    Q

    First and foremost....I got my Prime today. Its perfect. No light leakage...No WIFI issues, GPS works, No loose screen, Update took 5 minutes and had no issues. Keep the faith people...There are good primes out there...We just see a majority of the issues here on the forums.

    Now to the order of business. I am a seasonal Best Buy employee (Senior at Purdue University who works here during christmas...mainly for the sick employee discount). You CAN CURRENTLY get the Grey dock at ANY Best Buy store. They are still not available to order online and you will not find the device in the store that day, but they are obtainable. The process is as follows.

    1) Simply walk into said Best Buy.
    2) Head to the computer department and find someone who does not look stupid.
    3) Tell them you would like to do an OMS order for the Asus transformer prime dock.
    4) They will say they cant do it and cant find a SKU.
    5) Give them this sku: 4175048
    6) They will be able to OMS ship either to that store...or to your house.
    7) Wait a week or so, depending on when you order...(Our trucks come from the Chicago warehouse every Thusday night so it totally depends on when that store gets shipments from its warehouse)
    8) Recieve your dock ahead of schedule.


    This does work as I have done it for myself and have a dock on our truck due this Thursday the 5th. I only saw around 200 available in the Chicago warehouse.

    Just as a quick update on the units themselves...I have just today started to see them moving through RSS (our investory software). Only 2 of them were shipped to the largest store in central Indiana which I bet are OMS or some sort of .Com orders. You are not able to OMS the actual tablet.

    -Quix.

    Is it just me or does that english/Chinese dock from Ebay look a little too black/grey colored? I want to order one but it definitely doesn't look like it's the same purple color as the stock photo on the top of the ebay page.... I don't want a black dock!

    It could be just a bad picture. There's a thread going round that mentions pictures can lie about the gray color.

    Will let you know when I get mine.

    Here's a few pictures of the Champagne Tablet/Gray Keyboard combo I have. I've been trying to get some decent pics for several days, these are hard to photograph because of all the shiny surfaces. But found some inside afternoon light just now, and they came out sort of okay:
