I caved. Bought the 16gb bundle. Hopefully I'll get some of the money back on the touchstone and case.

Also got -£10 + 1.5% cash back from quidco.

That is assuming it actually gets despatched, haha.

Edit - This is from Currys btw.

tbh once you see the touchstone you will want to keep it ;)
 
Truth be told, if I could guarantee being able to walk into a store and pick one up then I probably would. I can't be bothered with the hassle of ordering online only to find that it's cancelled.

I'll wait out to see if I can get anything from the HP Employee offering next week.

It does look hella cool but all it is is a flashy charger really. :p

Yeah but great as a stand when watching movies etc and keeps it full charged plus I use mine on my bedside table as well.

Much, much easier than faffing around with wire chargers. :D

It looks like the 16gb bundles are out of stock, you can still get -

HEWLETPACK TouchPad 32GB Tablet PC + TouchPad Case + Wireless Charging Dock for
£249 at dixons, currys, pcw.

Around £228 with discount code / quidco.

Anyone that has actually written 'PCW' by its full name. I'd remove it as they are classed as a 100% direct competitor to OCUK and I wouldn't want anyone banned for it as it's a very easy mistake to make, especially in this thread.

You're allowed to mention competitors as long as you don't mention their name in connection to a product OCUK sell.

You're allowed to mention places that don't have a vested interest in the same market as OCUK. PCW do, Amazon and Currys etc, don't.

We shouldn't even be calling them PCW according to the rules, but I'm risking it for the greater good. :p
 
Well I won't be able to get one of the 6000 available on Monday because I'm travelling to see a customer - however a colleague doesn't want his backorder so looks like I'm buying it off him at cost fingers crossed!
