[Helios1234]

Managed to get through using mobile stables but no confirmation yet.

"We have now sold out on both models of the HP TouchPad"

Never shopping at this place again. Take Verified by Visa then you COMMIT the sale. Now I do not even know if my card will be charged for phantom stock.

I heard staples ran out of stock ages ago and won't fulfil any orders placed now.

I have been trying that site since yesterday. I did have touchpads in my basket at full price but they disappeared this morning. I'm in ES so not sure if it is BU specific.

I doubt it's BU specific.

I'm in PS and EPP has no stock. A colleague called the EPP Store and they have NO Stock.

Got my refund from Comet (£313 refunded)

On a side note;

They have confirmation of new stock tom AM, but they can't add them to the system or reserve them (includes staff), so maybe HP do have a shed load available?

Same here, called CS and they said the order cant be fulfilled because they dont have any stock.

Cancelled, going for the Pre 3 now.

When did you order it from Comet?

 

[DarkShadow]

You poor guys still in the rat race?

When did you order it from Comet?

About 8pm yesterday.

I think Amigafan is winding us up!

I suspect he was. I would have been very surprised if HP offer them that to employees for even better prices, better to get them in the hands of the masses. They wouldn't want employees taking them into meetings with customers, that would just look bad.

Managed to get 2 locally, pickup from different PC World's. Last at both places, phew!

This could be a new form of DOS attack, spam HDUK and twitter and this thread that XX has a touchpad at £80 and the site goes down magically.

 

[Ringiho]

so maybe HP do have a shed load available?

From what I've heard (through HP suppliers) there are loads around just not been reduced yet. We've got a couple reserved through a rather friendly supplier though for when the price does drop!

So, who got a 32gb for their kids but realize they could probably suffice with a 16gb? Swapsies?

About 8pm yesterday.

Same here. Was the money taken from your account?

 

[Cosimo]

Who'd you use sim'? And you already have a Samsung! Stop being so greedy!

I snapped up an ebay offer yesterday afternoon. It lasted about a minute before they all went. I do need this one.

 

[Its_Me]

Anyone got any recomendations about cases?

Leather, neoprene, hard etc ? as its for the whole family use want something to help this last.

Update from Babs Twitter - "We have now sold out on both models of the HP TouchPad".

So, if you haven't got an email then don't bother!

Told u they cocked up on stock. They have 500 arriving tomorrow and none even in stock today yet were prepared to take orders up to 2000 which their system was showing.

Lots of refunds coming people's way and no Touchpads.

Glad I had the advantage to ring my rep and order over the phone.

 

[Greenja]

Anyone heard anything from Dixons yet? I ordered one from them last night and shortly after received an email saying my order was being prepared for dispatch but there was no estimated delivery date.

Expected to get an email from them today really but not got anything yet, and i looked for a contact number to call them and there isn't one!

 

[mrk]

If anyone find a place with them in stock please Trust me the details and I will forever send you cake!

 

[Pate]

Think I missed out.
