Lovely Ely. I'm from a Village next to it.

Still can't find a TouchPad, had several in my basket at most stores, onl for them to all crash!

I hate everyone here who was successfully ordered/collected/received their Touchpad. swearing removed

I just phoned play.com, woman said she can't comment on when the price will change.

Also said that you can't get a refund of the difference - the price you pay will be the final price.

PCW cancelled all reservations though. How did you get one?

Our Insight business account rep has told me that they have updated their database with the new prices

I hate everyone here who was successfully ordered/collected/received their Touchpad. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

think how i feel, having got my parents to pick mine up only for my mum to throw a wobbler and decide to keep it. If i dont get one by the end of the day ill be going round, putting £90 on the table and taking it tbh

 

[adamau5]

[Tweaker]

Does it allow you to "track your order" but comes up with an error page when you get onto Yodel? I'm scared

yeh, but my understanding is that at this stage it is 100% going to be delivered

Well thanks to the 7 day rule.

They can get stuffed. Refund or return it's their choice.

Obviously they didn't!

They are bound to say that though, if they said "Sure, we'll refund the difference!" everyone would just order now and they'd have the hassle of arranging refunds for loads of people that bought at full price. Pretty much every retailer in the US is refunding the difference, as are DSG in the UK.

OMG FFS, do you not read anything?

FOR THE LAST TIME. HP ARE PULLING WEBOS AND ALL ASSOCIATED TABLET / MOBILE HARDWARE, PERMANENTLY, FOR EVER, THE END.

NO MORE UPDATES, NO MORE FIRMWARES, NO MORE SOFTWARE.

FWIW webOS Global Business Unit chief Stephen DeWitt has said differently.

 

[Pav89]

Obviously they didn't!

I spoke to them on the phone. They told me they cancelled all reservations I want one but I reserved it in a store an hour away and was told that it wasn't available :s

What time did you reserve yours?

Just got an e-mail from staples, for fff....

Thank you for your recent on line order. Unfortunately all stock of the HP Touchpad’s have now been exhausted and we will not be receiving any more from the supplier, therefore your order has been cancelled.
