If interested in the 300T you might want to check out amazon. The product page has the alert me option active. The 700 is most likely next in line. (fingers crossed)

Unfortunately since I'm new I cannot post links.

When does the trade in program begin?

Jeeez man, it's the damn Prime hidden in a blue shell with a working BT/WIFI card! I don't see a screen resolution but if it is the same as the Prime then this IS a Prime with bugs fixed. DAMN you Asus.

rorytmeadows · Mar 29, 2012

Blue? Pass.

I'm betting the Wifi and BT is not fixed since it's the same Al shell.

The shell is plastic instead of metal so the wifi should get a better signal hopefully

The all metal blocks RD signal, thus reducing Wifi and GPS capabalities(As can be seen in various topic where people opened their prime)

The Plastic Shell of the T300 and Plastic strip on top of TF Infinity should address the All metal back of the Prime.

@yhzhrm - thanks for adding the link!

The 300T is probably actually the TF201.2 dialed down a smidge (16GB & plastic vs. metal back) for conversation/lawsuit and the infinity is more the TF301 thanks to the improved glass & resolution.

At least that's my initial impression.

I returned my primes (#1 a dud, #2 was worse than #1) along with the dock. Purchased the TF101 instead and am very happy with it. I plan to purchase the infinity when/if it is released with good feedback. Also picked up a samsung galaxy tab+ as a reader and boy is that thing amazing.

I love toys! But they must work as described or it's a quick phone call for an RMA. I do not have the patience for buggy appliances.

Yes, but you're not removing the metal shell like the 700 aims to do with a hybrid. The replacement of the full metal shell with a black&tan option essentially actually makes sense (albeit extremely unattractive, but makes sense). Simply replacing some of the density of the model with plastic will take away from the thickness and still present a close-to-card metal shell. The 201 is the thinnest on the market, and frankly it feels good saying that it's thinner and lighter than the iPad. The thickness of the 300 is greater than the iPad 2. This is all important for those of us that have functioning Wifi strengths.

Also, F*** plastic cases. I didn't buy a Fisher-Price tablet so it shouldn't feel like one.

NEWS FLASH PEOPLE..lol. the FCC document showing this device, TF-300T and diagram clearly states wifi/BT share the same antennae and effect each other when used at the same time. So don't expect BT and wifi being used at the same time to be any better than prime. strange how we do have people who owns primes where it works fine for them simultaneously. even streaming audio and watching moving through internet by wifi connection.

quote from FCC on tf-300t

" (2) BT & WLAN can’t work simultaneously, thus simultaneous mode is no need."

here is the FCC website source for you to look. its the Exhibit type RF exposure info. its the PDF file 3rd from the bottom. sorry to burst some bubbles on this.
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...application_id=502076&fcc_id='MSQTF300TNH615'

also new Infinity pad aka tf-700 will have exact same metal backing as the prime. except for a plastic strip up top.

Whatever, at only 399 I'll take it over the 599 for the "infinity"

nothing wrong with that. that's why Asus is bringing different price options. some may not need all the bells n whistles of infinity pad. I still think prime best value for the most features but the TF-300 will be a good device also. I love all the diffent colors like the blue and white one.

don't forget Asus is also bringing out a 7in. tablet which will be even cheaper. will have a built in pen also. its called the Memo. Then you have the rumored Google Nexus 7in. tablet to be creates by Asus with tegra3 in it.

I really like the Asus Padfone. its 3-1. Transforms from a phone into a tablet into a netbook.

You know I am looking at the specs and the new red color and thinking the exact same!! I kept my prime accessories because i planned to purchase the new model (after bugs sorted) anyway. And Ive noticed the 300T has the exact same measurements as the prime so all is good.

The TF101 is also a plastic case and is quite strong. It looks great and works as described!

Blue and white? Really? Eww.

The Padfone is nice, but you'll be tied to whatever carrier picks it up. In the US, I'd bet money it's crappy Hitler-like AT&T. Pass.

I'll also pass on 7 inchers. I've seen the greatness that is the 10 incher and don't see a need for something exactly between my phone and tablet. If you don't own either, I guess it makes sense, but I wouldn't recommend a 7 incher to someone without both for many reasons.

Umm wasnt the memo getting scraped and in its place the Google NExus.

Actually the TF300T is thicker slightly..

aznmode · Mar 29, 2012

It shows a 32gb so is this still $399? Thats a great deal if it is. Just like some of us that got our primes for 399 at hhgregg.
