Well first impressions are very good. The browser is quick to load pages and flash seems to work well. Scrolling is jittery across the board, not a deal breaker of course:p:p
Best BA all year! Best of luck to everyone! I have an argos reservation code if anyone wants one(blanch).

I'd love that reservation alanstrainor!

No, now you say it, I didn't notice.

Maybe It was causing too much mail traffic! :pac:

Download the 3.0.2 software update (Settings-> System Updates-> download), will sort a lot of the software jitters.

are people still content with their argos reservations? has anyone gotten word that they intend to drop the price and not just send them back to hp or something like best buy in US initially said they would.

orourkk3 · 22-08-2011 01:18PM

Anyone bought off dabs.ie before? They have over 200 in stock, no price drop yet doh!

Oat23 · 22-08-2011 01:19PM

Does anyone expect Argos to price drop to a similar price as Currys/HN? I've got a reservation on a 32GB up there. if I get one on Currys tomorrow someone else can have the reservation (Sligo).

Id say they will sell them at 100, HP are going to have them the cost per unit anyhow, might as well get them out of the stores at some return. Rather than paying shipping, storage etc.....

Got the last one at Carrickmines! 32GB for 129€ reduced from 579€

rang at 11.30 am and booked it, blessed.

Literally picked up the last unit and wanted a 2nd but last meant last so cannot help out others. Guy there said even they cannot buy them and that no more of them were expected in. Lad there also reckoned HP would break them for components as there was good quality speakers and screen inside.

Cheers once again lads, thanks for the help

Yeah I was up at the shop in Carrickmines 2 minutes after that to be told they were just sold out. Pity it was the only place taking telephone reservations for the 16gb and 32gb

Inquitus · 22-08-2011 01:20PM

Proud owner of a 32Gb from HN Swords, reasonably impressed so far, decent production values, not sold on Web OS, but we'll have Honeycomb in notime flat!

tigershould · 22-08-2011 01:21PM

thegift06 · 22-08-2011 01:21PM

Thread is 28 pages long and one person has thanked the OP,thats gratitude for you.

Wiirdo · 22-08-2011 01:25PM

Doesn't matter if we can't get it today as most shops will follow suit tomorrow and there'll be much more stock, hopefully anyway.

Were you the lad on the motorbike? I was on the blue Kwacker leaving the shop front!

Squeeonline · 22-08-2011 01:27PM

I really hope argos drop their prices. Might give someone there a call and find out of they plan to and when.

The reservation I have Thursday August 25th to Tuesday August 30th 2011.

Cant see them lasting all that long if they drop the price before Thursday...

thegift06 · 22-08-2011 01:27PM

Anyone who got a Touchpad today and had a reservation for argos, can I have the argosreservation code please?

letitroll · 22-08-2011 01:27PM

Reservations will be fine, right? I wonder if there is any risk of them ignoring reservations at full price and selling them first come, first served?
