I think I rang the wrong BT number. Tried the number someone provided a few posts ago and he said they are out of stock - meant to have had some delivered yesterday but not come yet. The number someone provided for the other place seems to be the after sales number.
 
Right guys. BT and Babs have stock in this morning. I have just ordered another 10 from my BT rep



Just a heads up guys........

EDIT: Only downside is these are now costing £127 inc shipping compared to the ones I got at £113 the other day.

Just called up BT and spoke to a rep. We don't have an account with them so no personal contact. He said they don't have any stock in but I set up a business account anyway and he said he'll allocate one to my account as soon as they get more stock in. He said they were expecting 400 odd at some point but he didn't seem massively clued up. Fingers crossed anyway!
 
Just got through (to the home shop). They haven't had any in stock since Tuesday, no new stock.

Edit - Same with babs.

Same, **** hung up on me as I was saying no worries.

I really don't get why people work in sales when they're going to get ratty any time they're actually required to do their job under pressure.
 
Thanks for getting my hopes up again, no go for Labs/BT. :(

Staples - failed (slow)
PC World - failed (sold out in 3 minutes)
**** - failed (slow)
 
Kicking myself a bit this morning that I didn't walk up to the airport terminal earlier, not only in stock but tax free as well :D

I have an ipad anyway but I could have used it for all my sons colouring stuff and not had to keep an eye on him so closely with something that was peanuts :D

Oh well. I guess this thread is just a warm up for when the next console or iphone 5 comes out :p

which airport?
 
Do you not need to go through the gates for duty free? Also, I'd picture our airports putting their hand in your pocket when technology is concerned :p headphones/plugs/games/cameras/etc are usually extortionate.
 
which airport?

Luton, they don't have anymore. Neither does any of the other airports with a dixons tax free.

On my last nightshift me and another member of this forum where refreshing amazon trying to get one. We placed an order and sat and hoped. A collegue was asking us what we were doing and he placed an order as well either though he had no idea what we were buying.

He literally got caught up in the buying fever.

He then walked up the terminal and bought a 16gb for £70 odd. If we had gone earlier there were plenty and the staff bought up the rest of the 32gbs :(

So busy page refreshing we forgot the obvious :D The only one of us that got one doesn't even know what it's for.
 
People who have orders with the "dodgy" link and still stuck in progress.

Has anyone called up this morning about it? or are people just crossing their fingers :p

Nope I have an airside pass I can come and go as I please and my pass works as a boarding pass when buying tax free.

You have no chance, called this morning and all stock was gone by 1030, well before that link came out
