are the current prime batches working fine?

---

earlier this year I was planning to buy the prime but the negative feedback stopped me (wifi issues, GPS issues, different software issues)
now I'd like to know if the current batches like buying from bestbuy
are they working fine?

or there are better option? preferred teg3 10" tablets?

primes seem to be working fine. primes from launch were working fine also. I got my unit 12/22 and works fine. my first n only one. no needing to return or exchange. so changes very high you get a great working one now. plus there won't be any other tegra3 devices for a good while. unless you feel like waiting till June

plus take a look at this thread. it has overwhelming results and give you a great Guage on Primes that work well n people being satisfied with it. over 80%.

wifi works great. GPS is so so but I use a program called Bluetooth GPS To use the GPS on my atrix phone to with prime. alot have GPS that seems to work decent. just depends on what exactly you want to use GPS for.

no date on Lenovo tablet as far as i know. or the Acer one. the high Res prime, the Tf-700 aka Infinity, is said to be released in June, hopefully. I think the Lenovo and Acer ones will release around that same time or right afterwards.

plus its not so much of being a lucky prime owner now. alot are coming out buying new devices recently and they seem to work well. just look at those links from other post n you will see. there have been alot of people who were kinda scared off and skeptical but went for it and turned out to work great for them. so yes, there are some problem units. but chances are really high the newer devices are defect free. now if you looking for the prime to use primarily for navigation or something, then this might not be the best solution for you. just putting that out there although plenty have good working GPS. just depends on what exactly you want to use it for. plus there are solutions to connect external GPS devices or phones if you need a more powerful GPS solution. but once again my wifi works great and hasn't failed me once yet.

thanks for your hones feedback
now I've checked bestbuy and it is not availabe for shipping, and in amazon it is very overrpiced, I live abroad and got nice deal of customs for 3 days
and I dont find a good online store to buy from with its 500$ original price

just keep searching. they out there. they usually sell out so fast online. check any stores in your area to see if they have any in stock or can order one for you.

I'm from egypt pal
it is not officially launched yet ! :|

I'm have a Prime being delivered tomorrow. I bought it on Amazon when they had it available to ship at a later date...I had to wait ~2 weeks. I did not buy it from one of Amazon's partners at exorbitant pricing; I bought from Amazon itself. Keep searching the Amazon website 'till you find it a normal ($499 & $599) pricing! It may be delayed a couple weeks in shipping but that was fine for me...I refuse to pay more than retail.

I'll post tomorrow how it is build quality/performance wise.

I bought mine on 12/23, the purple one. Aside from the known gps issue everything else on mine is fine.

Bought mine earlier this week from best buy. manufactured in January. Had one of the originals, but returned it and waited for a new batch. This one seems to be working great. across the house from router and wifi working enough to surf and post this. GPS works. Little hard on locking on when not on wifi too, but it works good enough for geo location, which was my only concern. Over all happy. Didn't want to wait till June for the same thing with just a little higher res screen.
