    The Official "I've Got My Surface" Thread!

    I pre-ordered 10/17 but Microsoft is unable to tell me when my 32GB will ship. I ended up getting mine at the Microsoft Store. I love the build quality, still exploring...

    With This Kind of Customer Support Surface Will Fail!

    I tried looking it up on FedEx but there were no results returned. The same search worked on UPS, but this is for the type cover for which I already have shipping information. I bought the type cover and 32 GB in the same order, but they are two separate items.

    Surface Already Shipping??

    My 32 GB isn't going to get here until 11/7. I am going to go to the local MS store that opens in Portland tomorrow and will try and buy one there.

    My Plans for the Surface - Post Your's?

    I am aware of (and currently have) OneNote for iOS and think it is a pretty shoddy implementation of this product. Functionality is very limited when compared to the desktop version and notes created on the desktop version look completely different when synced with the iOS version (bullets /...

    The Official "I've Pre-Ordered My Surface" Thread!

    Pre-ordered the 32 GB without touch cover + type cover on 10.17. The type cover has shipped with an ETA of 10.26. I called MS Store support and they said that my tablet would also ship to deliver on 10.26, even though my order status does not say anything.

    My Plans for the Surface - Post Your's?

    I am looking for a device that promises a richer experience than an iPad or Android device. I also want to be able to use the device for productivity apps that are not currently available on either iOS or Android, like Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote). I am also a geek and...

    My Plans for the Surface - Post Your's?

    My Surface will primarily be a productivity tool (and an iPad replacement for productivity). Entertainment will be second, but I am hoping to see apps from Hulu, Netflix and Crackle. I am looking forward to using MS Office RT and Evernote very exhaustively on the device. I am hoping that there...

    Microsoft Surface Base-Model Preorders Sell Out in Less Than 24 Hours

    That still leaves another 20 GB which is more than enough for me. Most of my docs and data will be in the cloud. I do not intend to copy my media / movies over. This will not be a laptop replacement for me. Instead, I hope it will replace my iPad for productivity usage.

    Microsoft Surface Base-Model Preorders Sell Out in Less Than 24 Hours

    I first picked up the 64GB changed my mind, cancelled and ordered the 32GB with touch cover and then changed my mind again, cancelled and ordered the 32GB + type cover. Even though I did all of this in less than 24 hours on 10/17, my 32GB now has a status of 'will ship 3 weeks', which means I...

    Non Home/Student Version of Office RT for Business Use?

    I guess if the mail client (or workaround) is better than what I have on my iPad then that will suffice for now. I do want offline access to emails though, even if it is only for the last 30 days. I also want to be able to compose offline.

    Touch Cover vs Type Cover

    Thanks for the feedback so far - for me the tactile feedback is really important so type cover it is.

    Touch Cover vs Type Cover

    I could never get used to the capacitative touch onscreen keyboard on my iPad or Nexus and I have always used an external keyboard with tactile feedback which works great for me. Therefore, my preference is to order the Type Cover instead of the Touch Cover. Does anyone know if the Type Cover...

    Apps for Surface RT - How Long Should We Wait?

    I agree - quality instead of quality. I am really hoping that Outlook is available on RT as well as VPN connectivity software. But I hear that the device isn't really enterprise friendly.

    Non Home/Student Version of Office RT for Business Use?

    Non Home / Student version of Office RT for business use? I guess I should I have worded my post correctly. I am less worried about licensing. I want to see Outlook on RT, hence my inquiry about Office for business. Apologies for not being clear.
