I'm getting really annoyed now - I'm having no luck at all, second time I've lost out on a cheap tab. First CPW with their offer back in May, now this. It's so vexing. I just want a fondleslab.

I would if I had somewhere near me - I have reservations at Argos - but that's dependant on if they drop their price or not.

You should have seen the piles of reservations my small PC world had. There is no chance of any stock left tommorow. I had the last one at stafford at 6.35PM

Oops sorry it was my phone based order.

They don't appear to have taken any money for the second web order yet.

But I ordered over the phone 30 secs after ordering online. But I guess phone orders are processed instantly.

secure.comet.co.uk just had about 30seconds of working at full pace - and on the final step it bloody crashes. Arghhh so close

Amazon & Tesco need to be your targets.

 

[Beans on toast Dave]

waiting at payment stage comet

 

[Ezyryder]

spoken to Tesco, a price drop will probably happen tonight or tomorrow (not sure), don't pre-order as you will have to pay full price.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

The unfortunate thing is, I can't even consider a full price decent Android tablet now.
After these have gone for <£100, and the build quality/screen is fantastic. I couldn't think about paying >£200.
You really need a good screen also.

Curse the reservation system!

Dont forget Play and Staples.

[Deathwish]

Woot. Think my Comet order has gone through!!

They couldn't reserve it for tomorrow and asked for the full price. Customer services said I could come back and claim a refund. I told them where to stick it.
