QUOTE(shark7 @ Jun 15 2011, 11:09 PM) TS pls update on how to fix wifi on TF.i think its a big problem for TF . Added on June 15, 2011, 11:12 pmis it worth it ? bcause i have bad experience with celcom broadband .no intentions of buying another broadband if it useless wireless broadband means no need to plug in the broadband to the usb port ?? I can vouch for Huddle/YES. It's much better than 3G service if you are in the covered area. Even if you have red(bad signal) it's at least 1Mbps. If Green, can achieve 10Mbps. Ping is also better than 3G, even usable to play Dota (flying spaghetti monster).

Thinking abt buying it end of this week honestly, if you dun get the dock, might as well check out other tablets.  serious. even the name of the tablet (Transformer) is because it can transform between tablet and dock. sitting at kopitiam is where u wanna have the dock... heh heh... after type, undock and become tablet...

Thinking abt buying it end of this week I got mine from PC3... top most flr. The sales guy was nice... told him I was alrdy at a 4 shops before his and wasn't satisfied with the condition of the Transformers I wanted to buy (scratches, docking prob). He made sure I'm fully satisfied before making the purchase... and luckily I was... finally!

That is why I didn't get transformer as I no need the dock. I felt buying it without dock seems like buying a handicapped tablet. Of couse it is not handicapped just a phschological feeling. At the end I bought the iconia as it comes buiktin full usb and 32gb for similar price as eeepad tablet. You can consider the iconia a understated , poor publicized tablet but performs great and that's what matter most. You don't have to be well known to be great.

You don't have to be well known to be great. so iconia comes with 32GB internally? how about the battery life? with full USB i admit iconia has the edge over TF without the dock and with patch, it can connect to 3G via some huawei 3G usb modem according to XDA. but in terms of screen panel i prefer TF. still deciding which honeycomb tablet to buy.

Battery life in iconia I am happy. I can browse on it continously up to 4 hours and still have about 60% left. Can match my previous iPad and is better than my HTC flyer and galaxy tab. Battery size is smaller than eeepad and galaxy tab and flyer. So is very good
