hmm... i am one of the extra 50 person too, my tag number was 179, haha...
didnt actually thought of buying it that early, but friend of mine mention that there will be extra units so i tot give it a try...
good thing i ordered the keyboard along... i asked the dude there, retail gonna be RM300? he say yes... i almost thought duwan buy the keyboard first >.<
i am quite happy with my unit so far, but not much to do with it yet, Android Market keep give me that "This item cannot be installed in your country" crap, market access cant help me with that, some not so smooth transitions here and there, and my 720p video lags

QUOTE(mydragoon @ May 30 2011, 09:50 AM) mine was i think 183. i was planning to arrive there at 12 and take up any unclaimed units from 150. but things happened and i only reached there like 1+pm. saw long queue and i thought, no chance... but still go and ask... was surprised the person said still got slots. i just grab the number first since they said i can come back later. i can still consider my purchase... after walk a bit and think a bit... but the full set.  the market error... i think its mentioned on the other Transformer topic... could be a firmware/ configuration issue and should be fixed soon. seems the local market not recognising Malaysia+Transformer. funny thing though is I could download FB apps and also Angry Birds Rio. well, good enough for me for now. din try videos yet but keyboard typing was kinda slow... seems Honeycomb 3.1 will fix this, along with the video lag. that's what i read in other forums based in US where the 3.1 is already leaked out.
Added on May 30, 2011, 9:51 amnow that you mention... ya, i find the speakers a bit soft. i will go back and test... but i noticed that the volume at more than half bar also still cannot hear clearly. need to almost go full bar. below half, can't really hear anything. will go back and try again tonight... yeah, i notice that the keyboard typing is slow as well... somehow this tablet just havent manage to impress me as much as i expected... what i heard from my friend is that Market seems to be unable to recognize the WW firmware for now... might be a market side fix... and same like u, i heard 3.1 fix lags in flash and videos, many ppl say they can now play 720p on youtube without having the impression of looking into slideshows |

QUOTE(mydragoon @ May 30 2011, 09:58 AM) bleeding? i dun think so. no mention of this in the booklet but asking is free. if its dead pixel... booklet got mention along with terms and conditions like how far apart, etc...
Added on May 30, 2011, 10:01 amfor me, quite impressed and happy with my purchase -- but i might just regret my purchase of the docking station, etc... well, will know when i get it. this is my 1st android device. so, i dun mind the market issue coz it means i got time to do more exploring first. plus, got AB Rio to keep me busy a bit. but this is meant for my son and the apps i downloaded (flash cards, etc), they all work. so i'm happy... the 3.1 should also fix they keyboard typing speed. ya, if anything that's not so impressive... i was a bit shocked that the keyboard was kinda slow. just happy that its a SW issue than can and will be fixed. this is my first android device too, but a lot of the setting are quite similar with some other smartphone that i have(i shall not mention the name to avoid wars here), so i sort of get the hang of it after a short while... then everything else become boring... no games to play(i cant even get Angry Bird Rio), no flash on browser, laggy video... only fun i had with it so far was when i success rooting it, that all |

QUOTE(xplodingplastix @ May 30 2011, 10:09 AM) you gonna need it for usb and extra juice for ur pad. besides, having physical keyboard is much more convenient than virtual. gotta agree with this... not to mention the prediction lag.. it's rather annoying at times.. and i cant wait for the USB- OTG support when the keyboard comes XD
Added on May 30, 2011, 10:19 amQUOTE(mydragoon @ May 30 2011, 10:13 AM) reposting... hoping can get help on: * any website that provides tips & tricks for Transformer (copy all, screenshot, etc -- screenshot already shared by some1 but just using it as example) * disable keyboard from popping up * move cursor up/down/right/left when typing... as far as i know, only way to move cursor around is to tap on that spot u want to... press and hold at the text, u will see a pointer coming out, u move the pointer up and down to move your text cursor...

QUOTE(siewsphone @ May 30 2011, 10:24 AM) But it will make it bulky and heavier....I can use my home pc to do heavy typing work. The purpose for me to get tablet is the mobility.

QUOTE(mydragoon @ May 30 2011, 10:30 AM) oh ya... one other negative pt abt this is... the charging cable is soooooOOOooo short. it was partly what caused it to slip off my hands... was moving it from the floor and forgot about the short cable, so it slipped off my hands. i hope there's another set of charger and cable that will be included with the docking set... this cable is too short. some desks might not have a power supply that close...
Added on May 30, 2011, 10:31 amon the other transformer topic also in this forum... its reported that the 3.1 does not fix the market issue. so then i can assume that it's the Market somehow restricts WW firmwares to download most the apps now... honestly, this sucks i also just tested using a US based proxy to connect to desktop site of the Market, seems like i am able to see the app details(permission needed for the apps etc etc), but since my transformer at home is not configured with proxy, i cant install it just yet, need to try after work today This post has been edited by BBXiong: May 30 2011, 10:37 AM |

QUOTE(Leo the Lion @ Jun 1 2011, 12:03 AM) What's the price I could get?
Added on June 1, 2011, 12:04 ambtw, how to tethering? via bluetooth? can't via usb ? USB not sure there is any driver that supports yet... i got Tablet + keyboard @ 1800, 1799, standard price i guess... but right now i think no stock QUOTE(Atsutane-Shirane @ Jun 1 2011, 12:16 AM) Why not tether via wifi... cos iPhone MyWi tethering is ad-hoc, currently Transformer doesnt support Ad-Hoc on WiFi, so i have to resort for bluetooth tethering... plus, bluetooth tethering aint that bad too, less battery consumption |

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Jun 1 2011, 09:19 AM) sorry... my statement is based on present problem -- most games cannot be installed -- getting country error. so i know some resorted to unofficial way of installing and playing games. yes, i root it to on Sunday, original intention was to install market enabler, but that didnt work, so for now i be installing game using unofficial way |

QUOTE(welwitchia @ Jun 1 2011, 03:19 PM) For those who have successfully used Any Cut, what did u enter under "Bypass proxy for" ? Thx! u go into AnyCut, create new shortcut -> Activity -> Proxy setting, u can name the shortcut whatever u want, doesnt matter. after that, go back home screen u can see a shortcut there with the name u put, tap on that, u can see proxy setting edi.. if u don see proxy setting menu, hit the "Back" button from setting until u are back to home screen, then tap on the shortcut again.. as for the one u asked, i leave it blank... also, some discovery, apparently Transformer cannot detect Wifi if it's on Channel 13... dunno why This post has been edited by BBXiong: Jun 1 2011, 03:31 PM |
