Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?
- Thread starter Frapple
- Start date
Will be £49 from tomorrow sim free with £50 of free accessories. That's a lot of smartphone for very little money....................
I think you've got it wrong....It will be cheap (maybe even £49) but only if you but it with extra accessories.
So I think it may be around £100

Got a CPW dispatch email a couple of hours ago. Getting it delivered to my local branch but looks like I'll be in Vegas when it arrives hopefully they stick to what the website says and they'll hold it whilst I'm away. Would have been nice for the flight!

Probably not much chance of that. If he's told us then it's hardly classified information. It's probably all over there now already. I hope not though
Good luck with your quest (I'm in the same boat!)

That's ok, one less thing I'd have to haul back at the UK in mid-September
I can just change the shipping address.

Gits all of yous
Order cancelled email from CPW, 25hrs later the dream is dead.
Maybe somebody got round to reading the contact us email I sent around midday today for which I only received the auto acknowledgement at 20:01 and decided I wasn't being patent enough, 39mins later I get the game over email so who knows.
And if anyone from CPW is reading this, fix you order status thingymejig clearly my order clearly isn't going any further ty.

Been out all day so how have people faired - ended up getting the 2 I wanted. Now my sister wants one but oh well too late - will see what hits the MM eventually. Actually had a good experience with PC World in the end for a reservation which hasnt happened before.
Any news on Argos though? I did reserve one to be delivered on Thursday but unsure what they are doing regards pricing.
Also Palm Pre 3 - is that getting cut? Liked what I saw when I played with the Touchpad just now - found the IMAP setup a bit annoying but thats my ISP and not the pad - though it took ages to pick up my wireless network...

Someone said that argos was deciding what to do within the next 24h. The Pre 3 is getting cut heavly it even says so on the official HP shop within the next 24 hours.

I'm in a dilemma here..
I got my 32GB but the screen in comparison to the 16GB one is shocking. See for yourselves:
16GB (Left) 32GB (Right) - Both are on highest brightness.
DSLR is out of order so Desire HD was best I could do (ignore the noise).
I'm not sure what to do. The 16GB's brightness on half is comparable to the 32GB's.
32GB Pros: Blacks are blacker. Colours more vibrant.
16GB Pros: Whites are whiter. Super bright!

What time did you get your first confirmation at last night?
Soldato
Noted SpeedFreak. Long standing and 1st up - let you know in the am / as soon I know
good man, fingers crossed for you
What a disappointment! Reserved with Comet yesterday, it chose a store with stock. Got confirmation email stating this. I rang twice today to make sure it would be still there for me to pick up after work. Got there and they didn't even have my order on their system and no stock at all! Ended up doing a paid order and may get one when they get a few more delivered early next month. Gutted

I know what to do, give both of them to me and I will test them non stop and give you back the one I think is best, the other I shall keep for more rugged testing.

No, i'm pretty sure you've got it wrong.
And Darkshadow, that looks like a difference in the settings - if not brightness then contrast maybe?
