    Thanks OP. Was going to be buying the Amazon Fire 8 soon but this is a much better tablet! Hopefully it comes through.

    If it’s more that a few weeks they can F off. How can they take the order when they don’t have stock?

    The amount of people here by their own admission bought it without even needing it, how is that a bargain buying something that you didn't even need. It was too good to pass up etc lol

    Its a tablet, who needs a tablet? A phone can do everything it can do.

    120 brings it into disposable cash area..

    You have to bear in mind the amount of orders that potentially went through yesterday, no doubt due to the activity here. The site wouldn't necessarily been able to keep the remaining stock count up to date with the volume of orders coming in.

    You have an 8" screen phone?

    I've a top end phone which can do everything a tablet can do and more (make calls, use WhatsApp etc) but when travelling for a few days I prefer to bring a tablet for primarily two reasons:-

    1. I can keep on top of work via an 8" screen and Bluetooth keyboard whereas a 5.5" phone screen just doesn't have enough real estate to use productively for responding to emails, reviewing documents, spreadsheets and presentations etc.

    2. I can load up the tablet with TV Series and Movies (downloading from Netflix is a great option) and watch comfortably on a large(er) screen than my phone which also means my phone doesn't get too cluttered with content.

    It's €120.

    A pitch side ticket to see Taylor Swift in Croke Park next month is €144 + booking fees.

    All be grand.

    Look on the bright side, you have 119 euro extra in your account, did you really need this, most people have really good mobiles now, I never use my iPad which is about 6 or 7 years old at this stage, like you, i added this to cart and then asked myself, 'why am I buying this', it's only a bargain if you need it. Will use the 119 euro to buy something I need and will use.

    I actually was in the market for a tablet to replace my ancient Nexus 7 which is pretty much just a book end at this stage. €119 would have been an absolute steal for a tablet with those specs, assuming the transactions go through of course.

    EXACTLY my situation. It was a serious device but at 5 years old its showing its age speed and capacity wise and the battery is fading. I actually used mine away travelling last weekend and when I saw this deal I jumped in straight away.

    Fingers crossed it arrives.

    Had that bad boy too!! Think it was reduced from $499 to just $99 after about a week on the market once HP realised they were never ever going to be able to take on the iPad.

    What a bit of kit once you got Android up and running on it. The wireless charging stand made it a great device to have in a living room.

    I finally ditched it last year but loved it :P

    Well if it comes back up for 120 let us know. Seems like a good deal. Wish I had not missed out.

    That was more fun. I had to jump in the car and drive about 10 miles to grab one and saw a few other punters that must have done the same in the queue. It was like a scavenger hunt. :pac:

    Still at 'Order in Process' for me also. Anyone have an order that's moved to shipped yet? I guess not yet.

    Cheap and ideal for traveling, and I don't have to worry about eating my phone's battery power.
    Pity I only saw this post in the early hours when it had already sold out!

    Not wishing to derail the thread down a legal route but that statement does not include any provision to renege on a transaction they have issued a confirmation of acceptance to and I've an email from them confirming my order and accepting my payment.

    Contract law 101 - Offer + Acceptance + Consideration = Binding Deal*

    * Unless in the terms of sale (which I probably ticked a box for without reading like we all do all the time) it states that they have X days to cancel the contract and provide a refund without fault or reason. :(

    Nah,i don't think so,if they are like other companies,its only when item is shipped is when your offer of money for their goods deemed accepted.

    They already have my money. How can it be deemed to have not been accepted when it's in their bank account? :confused:

    Are you sure they have your money, and it isn't just a block on your account?

    I ordered this quite early on and everything went through fine, no email cancelling things, but the money (I used a credit card) hasn't been taken.
