When i click the link to track my order from the "dodgy hp link" acknowledgement email i cant find the track order option anymore... ive looked at it a fewtimes today so i know where it should be.
Anyone else had this happen? Im thinking maybe i'm making a mistake ive not realised but if it has been taken down that doesn't look good...

Edit: Nevermind, tried again and there it is!

Its there on mine, it did vanish for me earlier but I refreshed and it was there :)
 
Reading other forums it's clear that some people are buying the Touchpad without any understanding as to why they are cheap, there's even talk of buying the "Pre" phone and selling it at a profit.

While there is always a market for a 10" tablet the Pre 3 is another thing entirely.

Not 'a Lot' of people. They weren't practically selling any units until the price slash.
Incidentally I work for the company HP just bought and have been told HP's CEO will be paying a visit to my office later today. Think its worth it to ask him about touchpad availability?:P

He'll probably have a few in the boot of his motor as a welcome prezzie for you newbies :p

Which he'll make you fight over to decide new team leader positions so start preparing

It was easy to get one from Argos and I posted about what I was doing loads in here at the time. OK it was a bit of a gamble that they might not honour the reduction but then all it would have meant taking it back to the local store under the DSR.

My CPW one was a matter of being online at the right time though.

No additional emails, status still the same at "new order" Likely to go bye-bye but I can still track it.

On the HP site, under my order, the item name has now changed to {TPL.IDorderdetail.itemname}, (FB405UA#ABB). Not holding my breath!

Mine has been like that for awhile now. Think it changed when they removed the item from being able to be added to the basket.

Go up and give him a massive punch in the face from me and everyone at PreCentral for being an utter utter retard. He was SAP CEO very briefly and dropped for being crap, god knows how he ended up coming out of no where to lead HP into oblivion and 20bil drop in value.

Considering events I'd be surprised if his tenure last much longer at HP, maybe go up and shake his hand and say "Have you considered which company you will go destroy next?"


... No I'm not bitter at all ...
