vinnieg: Beccara: Well I'm going to take the plunge and get a 16gb version without the dock for the time being. Where's the best place in NZ to get one from? There's alot of places like http://www.gimmedigi.com/catalog/asus-transformer-tf101a1-101inch-tablet-computer-16gb-tablet-with-k... and http://www.elive.co.nz/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-zarc0001.php That have them but none of the shop's i've used before have them Elive are good, if you don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks Firstin has them on special for $599 today Don't know if i'd trust the gimmiedigi.com, never heard of them and their website isn't rendering properly for me! I've got mine coming from the US, paid for extra shipping so $592 for 3-5 day shipping apparently :) If you wanted to do 8-16 days the cost would be a bit less, about $560NZD Wow $599 was a great price and probably unnecessary but good for those that got them... all sold Any idea what company that was?

Haha whoops sorry, that was through Amazon :) http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-TF101-A1-10-1-Inch-Tablet-Computer/dp/B004U78J1G/ref=pd_ts_zgc_e_3063224011_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&pf_rd_p=1310294142&pf_rd_s=right-5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=507846&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1V6A3XJVEZMJFX1XDF8P if actually works out cheaper if you use USD as the credit card fees in NZ are 2.5%, where as Amazon charges slightly more for converting it to NZD for you I have moved across the ditch.

Gemini: R you talkin about firstin? http://www.firstin.co.nz/products/asus-transformer-eee-10-inch-android-tablet-5703/ Sorry think our wires got crossed: My post was meant to say: www.Firstin.co.nz has them for $599 + $6 but then it'll take 3 weeks minimum to arrive compared to the www.amazon.com link for $550 for 8-16 days shipping or 590(when ordered yesterday) with 2-4 day international priority shipping :) I have moved across the ditch.

I received a reply from Paul at Playtech: "Confirmed our stock is the B6 version More stock is coming by end of the week USA keyboard version for sure no Chinese." So I guess it's time to get your name on a list, or something.

I'd sent an inquiry to Acquire over the weekend about their TF101 keyboard/dock that was not in stock. Today Candice has been emailing me about it. She said only one was in stock with the supplier, it was the US version and it was the B6 series. She told me to place my order and let her know when it was complete and she'd do her bit. Anyway, I went to place my order tonight and they're showing as having 10 in stock. All up with shipping it was $243.12.

Also heard there is a B7 keyboard out, but it won't matter since the B6 and B7 both support firmware upgrades I have moved across the ditch.

PB Tech now has a bunch of keyboards in stock at $228.85 incl GST at Penrose. Ironically I ordered mine from Aquire last night at the higher price! Cheers, Matt. Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note 10.1, ASUS UX31e Ultrabook, Mysky HDi, 2talk

Don't know which version they are. I saw them on the website. I assume they are all B6 now as they have been out of stock for so long. Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note 10.1, ASUS UX31e Ultrabook, Mysky HDi, 2talk

Just unboxing mine now Nice colour and style Does anyone elses keyboard have little pits in the metal surrounding the keys? They are random little round indentations and lines in an otherwise smooth metal. It's not a pattern
