    Similar to an earlier poster, I have the original Transformer. Its an amazing bit of kit, it handles every task I ask of it. Its well built and easy to use. The ICS update wasnt great initially, but has now settled down. Would recommend a Transformer.

    Conversely to a poster above, I never used my keyboard. You will need to see what you actually use it for, to work out if you need the keyboard.

    I found that the keyboard sold for £100 on ebay. So I bought mine with a keyboard, sold the keyboard and ended up with the tablet, but having paid less than you would if you bought the tablet alone......worth thinking about if you find yourself in the same position as me.

    The earlier poster and the poster above were both me. ;) I took advantage of the launch offer and bought my keyboard dock for £50. For my purposes, I enjoy the flexibility of using it as a tablet or as a netbook/ultraportable in different situations.

    I don't think you can by the 300, the prime or the infinity without a keyboard now, so there probably isn't much of a market for keyboards on eBay, unlike with the original TF101.

    The Nexus models are so heavily subsidised you'd be mad not to take one - punch per pound, they're clear winners. There is a 10-inch version also in the pipes, apparently.
