haha, thanks!

Samsung orders don't get a receipt. If we did I would be trying to get another gift...

I think the deal runs on purchases done through 9/24.

You can STILL get it? Haha, most people don't even have their phone yet, I'd hope we can still get it! ? The phone isn't even officially released yet!

How would I pay for this if I don't have paypal. I'm a dev on here, I have 2 ROMS out and just recently dropped my phone in the ocean so I really would like to have another Eris but I can't have a paypal account.
google checkout have options to send bills like paypal?
I don't use paypal either so if you want to send me a money order that would work fine
Western Union is always an option or better yet

COD by the US postal service. He does not pay you get it back in the mail.
I'm open to anything. Mailing a money order seems easiest, but makes no difference to me
No offense to you but the only problem with this is he might send the money order and never get the phone. With COD he gets the package at his door before paying and you don't have to worry about him stiffing you.
Very true, again, I'm down with whatever

I think i'm going to have to stick to craigslist. I'm in the Army and as some know, you cannot go very long without some type of contact method or you can get in serious trouble. It was a good idea at the time because it's a really good deal. However, buying a phone from someone on the "mainland" means waiting a while for shipping which is something I don't have enough rank for lol. So sorry if I seem like an a$$ but I think i'm going to just get something on craigslist that way I can get it locally on the island and have it almost instantly. Thanks a lot though man, I really appreciate you willing to work with me on it! Now let's hope this tsunami doesn't sweep me and my family out to the ocean! LOL
Don't sweat it, stay safe!
Bump.... this thing is still available. Make me an offer, please!
So is it still available?
So is it still available?
It is not, I sold it
I should have caught this when it came up, but ANY sale of devices belongs in the marketplace.

Engadget Review

I didn't see this posted anywhere yet so I figured I'd throw it out there for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Nice write up. They usually do a nice job with their reviews. I was hoping to pick this up a BB but my local store won't have them until the 10/12
Called my local ATT store as well and they didn't get any today(better come tomorrow)

The AT&T stores will most likely have most of the phones compared to a Best Buy, but if I hadn't pre-ordered mine, I would go to the store that opened up first.

That same guy from the AC forums said so. My receipt for my pre-order says I can pick up mine up on 9/25/11 & total cost $649.99. Lot of errors right there.

Thank you, I'm trying to be humble, but if I give good info, I think I should get props.
Sacramento AT&T stores have none on Saturday, but will order for you.
The Parrot stores have none til November.
Best-Buy has six on the "Online / Pre-Order" locked shelf.
I will have one in the morning!

I like the review. Glad its not so iPhone biased like Engadget normally does their reviews.
They are lying their asses off though when it comes to battery life being phenomenal. I'd always trust Anandtech review's more for battery life testing which rates it at good for screen-on time but not "AMAZING" the way Engadget is making it out to be...
This is my 8th Android and ive had all iPhone generations and I can honestly say that for the screen size and power that this phone packs, it does have awesome battery life. The best ive ever seen in Android. I text all day, surf web, talk, email, facebook, write and read lots of emails, read xda, etc.. and past 3 days it has lasted me thru my 8-10 hour shift with about 20-25% left to spare as I get home.
This battery life is just as good, if not better, than the iPhone 4 mho

Where are the developers?

So far, only xboarder is really working on this (with some possible help but not posted), and he does not have a phone. Appears someone reneged on a deal.
When the MT4G and G2X came out, there were a lot that jumped in - what is the issue here?
I don't think you know but the device dropped on 10/17 i'm pretty sure & alot of people are viewing thread's just not as much developers , there are about 2 developers here now .
Developers are having hard time to decide which device should they buy..
they got multiple choices now...
Samsung Galaxy 2
Samsung Nexus 2
Htc Amaze
Plus all the devices are expensive to its gone he hard for them to get all....
Same , i just bought the amaze as a temperary , once the Galaxy Nexus come's out i'm purchasing that . The SGS2 has a terrible screen .

Team Whiskey will be on board soon--the phone is VERY new and we need to give people some time to buy the phones before they can start cooking.
Nevermind that the bootloader / s-on is still an issue...

The nexus will only come out on Verizon for the foreseeable future - and switching carries for the phone of the moment is ------.
As for Samsung, I have only had bad experiences with their software/policies - so not going there anytime soon. LG for same reason is also an issue.
How about buying all the developers this phone at full price so we can get the roms out? No? Bad idea? Why not? Too much money? Oh... didn't think of that.

I made my point. Simply put there are few developers because there are few developers with the phone. I'm a bit sarcastic at times.

The point was - is there some consensus that this phone is not of interest for some reason? I am in the remorse period and so not want to stick with a no-interest phone.

There sure is. It's expensive as hell! How many other phones are out now and how many are on the horizon? From a developers perspective they have a lot to chose from. Odds are slim that we'll get dozens of developers that are going to get this device immediately after it's release. We might get one or two at first and that's about all we have. For f#@k sake the main developer doesn't even have the damn phone! Give it time or return it. It's up to you. I am sticking with it because I see the potential and I believe that development will open up in the near future.
Examples:
MT3G didn't start getting support for about a week after Cyanogen got it.
MT3G 1.2 didn't start getting support for MONTHS because of driver conflicts and the lack to crack the bootloader (which still hasn't been done).
Vibrant... still doesn't have a stable CM rom release and it's been out for over a year.
These are just devices that I know about for certain. I'm sure there are many more.
So we've had the phone for less than a month and people are getting impatient? Why? Did you think that we'll have root BEFORE the phone was released? Just be patient. It's very unlikely that this will be the only phone that isn't going to have ICS, CM7/CM9, etc.

Unofficial Firmware beta testing and update discussion!

Its been many weeks since the new firmware went into final testing. So how is it coming? I understand there are people testing it? Are there any big problems? Why hasn't it been released already?
Any info on a ETA would be nice.
Cheers guys.
Edit: title updated
I dreamed we were getting Jellybean 4.1 and will be out no later than the middle of June but maybe sooner. Basically the same code Asus is putting into the Google Nexus 7 inch tablet due out towards the end of June.

It has been very quiet. Maybe they actually have noticed that the Prime does not perform like a quad core tablet should and they are seriously fixing the software. At least I hope so.

I was going to post a similar thread to this yesterday - It has been a while since it went in to testing.
I hope for a dramatic increase in speed when the update is eventually shipped! Anyways all speculation for now.

lol, is that what it is? I was wondering why you didn't just post it here! Makes sense now - yeah sorry i'm one of the ones clogging up your inbox - leave me till last i'm in no rush seen as my charger has decided to pack in
I guess Google is realizing just how buggy this chip is.
Hopefully, by implementing it for the Nexus tab, they will fix the issues without crippling the device too much.
..........
I have been pm'ed by a member asking if I had heard anything and thought I gotta be a little proactive here so bear with me. The pm did not upset me but thought I'd better put this out there anyway.
Please do not pm me asking if I have heard anything about the next update. I was kidding around with demandrin (dunno if I spelled that right) earlier in this thread and that was all it was. I don't get inside info from him nor will I ask him for it. My Prime is working better than it has been with .21. It isn't perfect but I am happy with it.
I PM'd you demandarin, I think I got the wrong idea about asking for updates, sorry for the PM!
Stewart
Ill answer everyone pm when I get home. IM still at work. too much to reply to from my phone.
Instead of PM'ing demandarin, how about one of the people who gets a response posts the information here so everyone can see?
Or if possible, is there an actual official Asus website devoted to tablets? I've looked in the past and have not found one. I think it would be more useful if I were giving and getting feedback to someone actually from Asus.

+1 to this.
The information drought isnt good for anybody, but, I think its very telling.Getting second hand information , is not only unreliable, generally it is not current or correct, regardless of what some people think.
Just got home from work. Do to the sheer number of pm's I got, I will just post here shortly. Have to run an errand real quick then will post. This info will be for those who wish to know or want to read it. There is a new developement which I will share also which might explain the delay. be back shortly

[Q] Walmart Order--Awaiting Inventory?

i checked today and it still says "Awaiting Inventory". How much time should we give them before we cancel the order and just buy from Verizon? i know we are all trying to save money but i want me phone now! :crying: What should we do?
They might not update it right away. I'm hoping mine ships today...
There is already a thread for this.
But no, no changes as of yet. For me, I'll give it a week. $100 is worth that long for me. But if it goes more than that, I'll probably just break down and cry.
Honestly, I haven't seen that many people post here or on the Verizon forums that they ordered from big W. I wonder how many did.
