Just managed to pick one up today from the CPW at Tottenham Court Road. Bought the official dock and official case bundle too at the same time, not sure if it was a good deal on them £52 but figured that I wanted them either way.

Looking forward to having a play, will see if I can get Android on it too.

I'd like to personally thank my old good friend Knubje, for without whom, none of this would have been possible.

You are welcome mate, it was no trouble. :p;)

I have just managed to get two from CPW. Phoned them every 20 minutes because of a tip they were getting a delivery in.

They said they were in, headed down, think they had 12 delivered. I had two 32GB and my colleagues had two each. Some were "reserved" for other CPW staff members from other branches.

By the time we had finished paying, the last 32GB was being sold...
 
Don't know what you're talking about. I put in all of the hard work ;) - even worked up a sweat jogging there from the office. I stink right now, keeping my distance from everyone else today.

How much were they selling them for Bundle price or Firesale?
 
I went into Rhyl CPW today and they said they had none but checked Chester and they had 3 so I reserved one - Went to Chester 2 hours later and they had SOLD it! :mad:
 
Looks like I have another one throught the EPP

also go a text today saying the bundle/contact Pre3/TP has been shipped, problem is the phone it was to replace has longer to go on the it's contract than I thought so this may go back

Sort me out with a 32/64 Rotty :p
 
there were ~100 64G ones for sale on the french site today
even had one in my basket (thought it would be the least wanted 'cause everyone would rush either for price or quantity) but checking out was hellova job ...

don't understand why all the french sites (fnac, rdc, cdiscount) are so bombastic and gingerbread (google translate couldn't translate all the image buttons and the mess around them) :/

Emails were going out today and tomorrow so you may get lucky. I Snapped up my 32gb just after 11am this morning. The site was showing 3850 units remaining. Then a colleague did theirs half hour later and it dropped bellow 3000 units. Still a fair amount remaining though.

at 2pm was showing 4400 :confused: :p
 
may have messed up re the bundle, was going to use the phone and sim to replace the wife's phone which I thought had a contract ending in Dec, turns out it's Mar 1 so will cost to get out of that

so it comes down to paying about 80 to get out of contract and then getting a free pre3 and TP 16Gb for taking a 100min/500txt/250Mb £20 a month contract for 24 mths or sending the whole lot back
