I was talking to Kin on live chat and this is what was said:

Hi Kin, I ordered a Palm Pre 3 yesterday and was just wondering will they be shipped today?
Kin Mak says:
Not till mid next week at the earliest. We are still waiting on stock which has been delayed.

So they are preorders and should have flagged as such.

I don't think so. They had secured the stock, but are just waiting for it to be delivered. With the huge demand for both Touchpad and the Pre3, there was bound to be some delays.

You really can't get a decent Android phone for €99. This is a great spec phone, with 1.4Ghz Chip, 8GB Memory, 512Mb RAM, and 3.6" capacitive Gorilla-glassed touch screen. It's one of the fastest phones on the market.

And a slide out qwerty keyboard. An android port will come eventually.

Does the Pre3 have an FM radio?

Unfortunately not

I listen to IP radio on the pre2 and never go above my data allowance.
for both phones and touchpad, I'd recommend strongly to get the touchstone chargers, they are class.

I use webOS for years , and I think it is class. Cat see why anyone would consider going to Android, that would be a step backwards

any idea where to get one? seems that no one have them in stock

all i can find is touchstone compatible covers for the older model

edit: according to hp website it will work with older touchstone adapter (in fact they are all the same, but they may require more than 1A power adapter to charge new phones)

on http://eurostore.palm.com/epages/Store.sf/secr3KxU3qkAco/?ObjectPath=/Shops/PalmStore/Products/HP-FB338AA-AC3&CategoryID=73691610&Category=Pre%203 you can see that pre 3 touchstone has Model Number: FB338AA#AC3

and if you go to another hp website http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/FB338AA%2523AC3/1 you can find touchstone for "Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi Plus, Palm Pixi, Palm Pre, Pre, HP Veer" with the same HP part number: FB338AA#AC3

Just to add that there is the name of an app that allows you to listen to the radio, its on the hp website.

TuneIn is probably the best Internet Radio App for the Pre, and it's free too! You can get all the Irish and UK Stations, and some good US ones.

A user just posted this in the touchpad form. Fnac have them for 199euro.

Dman001

Not as sweet as €99, but still a good price. It appears that Fnac are using Expansys to sell it, similar to Amazon's Third Party sellers. Expansys.ie still don't have stock, but sounds like they will eventually going by this:

http://www.expansys.ie/hp-pre-3-black-8gb-209150/

Do-more

Thanks Dman001, I'm in Sweden as was able to place a pre-order with expansys.se for the pre 3 have to wait and see what the price will be, if it's around €99 and assuming they get stock I'll take it but if it's €199 like FNAC I'll pass.

So where does this stand with us people who placed an order @ 99€?

Since the stock hasn't actually arrived can they just cancel our orders? They can't just say it was a misprice, because it wasn't, they knew they where selling it at 99euro

Elara hope they'll get them in tomorrow, so they should be sent out to customers tomorrow. But, if they are sent out tomorrow, I wouldn't expect it til Wednesday.

If this comes true does anyone think the Pre 3 is worth a straight swap for a Touchpad or would it be worth more seeing how there are fewer available?

Judging from the ebay sales i would almost expect a bit of cash alongside a touchpad. Current ebay pre 3 prices in UK/Irl range from €150-400 while touchpads have BuyItNow prices at €260.

I think the touch pads are more so in demand.

If you have a Pre3 and another has a 16GB Pad and you both desperately want the other then O.K. if you're both happy.

Pre 3s selling for around 400 on ebay touchpads around 200-250. Theres hundreds of touchpads on ebay and less than 20 pre 3s. pre 3s def worth more

Yep, average selling price for a 8GB Unlocked HP Pre 3: €402.30.

Can't work out average for 16GB Touchpad but from a quick glance - not much more than €300.
