Dear Spud,

We are now preparing your Dixons order for delivery .

Hugs

Dixons

Does that mean that they are actually going to ship my order?

 

[Wicksta]

Remind me next time not to make a thread - basically done myself out of a tablet

Don't be silly, this thread won't even be making a dent on total sales compared to places like HotUKDeals and Reddit.

Anyone still waiting for amazon to dispatch?

 

[Jono8]

COME ON STAPLES!

From someone on twitter

[Sukh]

Anyone had anything else from PCW? Other than the confirmation.

I rang staples recently - they have more coming in tomorrow, but they already back-ordered. In next 48 hours I'll find out if my order gets filled apparently.

4 emails, 1x confirmation x1 order processing, x1 order processing again and then the last I got this,

Thank you for your recent order.
Unfortunately
we may have a problem with progressing your order within the timescale
indicated on our website.

Can someone give me the pricing of Insight's Touchpads?

Thanks.

 

[New World Order]

carphone warehouse said they are not processing any orders for the touchpad and the best thing is to call back at around 8.

Dunno, I got that as well, ordered at full price before discount. Phoned up and asked if I'd be able to get the discount...lady says yes "just has to be done by back office", I then asked if I'd got one, she said yes "just waiting for DHL to collect".

...but yes I agree things all sound a bit uncertain and that was about the fourth call to them! I suggest you call up and see if you can get somewhere.

 

[Danger Phoenix]

Expansys said they don't have any more stock, but are expecting more in in a few days time. They also said they will refund the price difference, so I have pre-ordered 2

Have a read of what Stephen DeWitt, the head of HP's webOS global business unit has to say:

Yet without anyone willing to produce hardware to support it, you think this is still viable?
