Poll: HP TouchPad - $99 in US - any sign of UK drop?

[doodah]

I dawdled again

Thanks for that, seems Greebo has been sorted, is there any way I can "advertise" this for people to see?

You can't access MM until you've been a member for 6 months and have 250 posts. Best bet is probably just to eBay it, although I doubt you'll make a profit.

Even better review up now on WAE

All your Userbase are belong to us"

Just Purchased around 1000 users data from WAE.
very happy as it will save me plenty of time emailing people about them winning the ugandan lottery and i need there bank details to transfer there MONIES to them.
Would recommend WAE to any fellow Ugandan or Namibian looking for cheap user info

Awesome! Kinda amazed that their Twitter follower count hasn't really gone down...

They only have a few hundred anyway. Most of them are probably pre-TP as most people like me will have just been watching their page rather than officially following.

Got an email response from Expansys

Hello,

for the moment as our suppliers don’t offer it at discount prices at least
not at this time

we are in talks with suppliers right now but some far we got no reply or
confirmation about this from them or HP directly if they will honour this
rebate.

If the price will change the website will be updated accordingly.


Best regards

Officially giving up on the hunt...at least for my sanity's sake

Blimey, I'll never get to 250 posts!...they're about £65 on ebay, not really lookin to make a profit but will put it on there.

Thanks

I know, but you paid £54.58 and they cost £7 to post Special Delivery. That's £61.58 which you may not get once you factor in eBay and PayPal fees. Just warning you that you may have to settle with a loss .

Same sort of reply from expansys:

Hello,



for the moment we do not know the price as our suppliers don’t offer it at discount prices at least not at this time so your order is on hold till we will have the confirmation.



You card has not been charged but the money has been reserved according the value of the order.



we are in talks with suppliers right now but some far we got no reply or confirmation about this from them or HP directly if they will honour this rebate.



If this is confirmed, we will contact all backorders and let them know the new price as soon as we will have confirmed information and asked them to RE-confirm the orders before shipping them out.





Best regards

Forgot about that. Within 10 minutes I got an email saying they had no stock and their distributor didn;t have any and wouldn;t be gettting anymore in stock

Thanks to my "bitch" and another kind ocuk forum member I am sorted now for touchstones and cases.

Damn there goes my last avenue to get one of these touchpads

 

[Baplad]

All out of luck it seems, time to retire!

 

[charsi]

I am out of the hunt too. I'll get a hp touchpad if the hp dodgy link comes through, otherwise I've made peace with my tabletlessness.

Full disclosure.. I did manage to nab one unit from Bestbuy USA on the first day of the price drop there, but thats going straight to India for my sister.

 

[Edrof]

I'm still crossing my fingers

 

[absolutpepper]

I'm gonna keep an eye...hopefully i'll be rewarded for playing the long game!

 

[Defiant306]

Greebo was pretty much my last chance of getting one so I think it's time to give up!

 

[Sin_Chase]

I never heard anything back from Greebo so I assume they are being held back/already gone.

 

[Cosimo]

"Just found out our distributor Equanet for the touchpads have sold the stock to their staff. Apologies, this is a huge let down for us."

Oh dear....

Lol. These people had around way over 2000 showing in stock on the Sunday before the price drop.

 

[Chiz]

Eastcoast.co.uk (but on the west) are showing stock for the 32gb Touchpad as "Expected: TBA +500" (not sure if this violates the rules)

There's still hope...

 

[doodah]

I love you Comet!

Just got a call saying mine has arrived in store !
