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

[Its_Me]

Picked up my reserve from Comet.

They will refund the difference when the price drops no problems as confirmed in person by me with the store manager

Sadly its an outlay of £430 short term.

TOP TIP: Amazon have just reduced the price for the second time in 2 hours - i'm watching it.

It seems the third party sellers are slowly reducing the prices

 

[POB]

No point ringing CPW, guy said they had about 30 16GB left, and about 164 people in the queue after me.

Got one from the purple shirts. Funny, they had half a dozen keen shoppers turn up looking for reservations that weren't there

Might have ordered one at carphonewarehouse..

Then again maybe not

Wait and see!

Its individual sellers reducing their prices, not the actual Amazon distributed ones.

Oh, right you are. My fault.

I put all my details at CPW and then bam! DNS error

 

[fail at the internets]

20 minutes on the phone to cpw he tells me he'll have to ring me back, there'll be none in stock by then..

Dont open it just in case they decide to screw you over and not reduce it.

Got my confirmation from CPW.

That acceptance clause is because they sell mobile phone contracts and they are subject to a credit check. I don't know whether they could use it as a get-out clause or not.

I love this thread though, full of people saying "I don't even want one but I got caught up in the thread..."

Fear the power of forums!

That's absolutely me! Totally got caught up, if its not as good as the playbook ill put it on the mm at cost

 

[camerongray]

Just ordered from that phone shop who I'm not sure I can mention on here so I will say "warehouse of phones for your car"

The order seems to have gone through - Still need to see if I actually get it

 

[Castiel]

I've got order confirmation for a 32GB one from CPW. See if I get one.

I can't be bothered to search anymore, I don't even know what I will do with one as I bought an iPad 64GB this morning and already have a HP Touchsmart.....gadgets!

 

[lsg1r]

hmmm, well I got an order number from cpw, no email though...

Will wait and see if I get an email shortly

Likewise...

I managed to make it to the
"Order Confirmation
Thank you for your order"

Page yet I haven't got an e-mail.

It may be worth saving/printing the Order Confirmation page as it has an order number...

 

[DarkShadow]

Bah wouldn't load earlier..

I've got another one coming from ebay. Now what should I do with the 2 spare?

Shame I won't get to play today - I've got an interview tomorrow!

 

[Pav89]

CPW have the worst hosting EVER

Sell for the same price on the MM?

 

[Doz007]

Where from Shadow?

 

[Gaygle]

I got a 2nd email since then saying order not gone through now. easy come easy go

It appears not. rp2000 had his order rejected. Hope mine doesn't
