3G i believe will come a little later than the Wifi version. If you cant wait just simply the grab the wifi one. Kinda disappointed too. But let's hope for some miracles to happen. biggrin.gif

i dont mind it is delayed because i dont have the budget this month if it were to come out. icon_idea.gif furthermore, it'd better be problems-free when i get my unit. I dont want to buy something which turns out later to be problematic. Luckily they found out about the wifi antenna issue, if not, imagine if worldwide customers get a hold to a retail product and pay handsomely for it but with bugs and hardware-related probs. It could tarnish their name in the global tablet industry. i'd say, +1 for Asus. GG Asus! tongue.gif

and i hope you'll get sued for using the name of Optimus Prime!! vmad.gif tongue.gif

it's not about us wanting to use it as a primary GPS device. but tablets nowadays, the gps is like a mandatory requirement in the spec. despite whether you use it or not, it should be there. even my old nokia got a working GPS, and it locks pretty fast too for an old device. If you pay handsomely for it, why not getting it all in one device? I've been waiting for it like mad, but since it got a prob with GPS and Wifi signal, then i guess I have to just wait for a better replacement model. I hope Asus would at least have a shot in improvising the model and release another version of Prime somewhere around this year with EVERYTHING's fixed. I'd buy it despite the problems if and only if the price makes sense. But i doubt so. So waiting is the game I have to play for now. Let those eager beavers have a hand on the device 1st and see how it goes from there.

good news. i believe the TP 3G will have that GPS signal problem fixed. so just wait and see how Asus deal with this sort of thing. it is happening and there's nothing you can do. furthermore, TP with Win8 is otw though it might be long from now but well, still it is becoming a reality. biggrin.gif

good news for those who can really wait, but for ppl like me who are already in the market for a laptop replacement, it's not news at all, i need the TP NOW!  and by the time the 3g version comes out (2nd half of 2012), there would be tonnes of other choices like the Samsung (rumored) quad core 11 inch tablet with super high res screen.

then you will be spoilt for more choices. waiting sucks, i know. but due to the fact that the current model ones do not interest you in any way, i believe, then waiting is your only choice unless you can live with the fact that your Prime has a faulty GPS. biggrin.gif

Just updated my prime to ICS. Everything feels snappier now, noticeably faster when browsing ebooks and pictures. GPS still sucks.

My conclusion: Definitely a good buy if you don't care about GPS performance.
