    Ok...here's my dilema...

    Do I trust HN?? I phoned this morning and reserved one.

    Whoever reserved one, did they manage to pick one up?

    I'm gonna race out to carrickmines after work. I've a bad feeling, the one I reserved won't be there.

    The guy there told me anything not collected by 4pm is being given away to charity.

    If it is gone, im afraid nothing is in writing, so I doubt theres much you can do. We can hope its there for you, would be very annoying for it be sold, or a member of staff keeping it for themselves.

    the amount of views on this thread is staggering !!!

    Ever seen Blue Planet? The scene with the herring curled up in the middle and the sharks, dolphins, birds, tuna each trying to take a bite?

    This thread feels a bit l like that, I love it :)

    PS Tried Currys, Argos and DID here in Galway, no go yet ...

    HN Naas is out of stock. Just rang them. He said he was not sure that they would come back in stock, but that they were not taking reservations.

    god dammit argos are useless

    I try to reserve a 32gb one and all is looking grand and no hint that there's no stock left...

    then click reserve - sorry we're out of stock :mad:

    then the bastards go and rub it in by sending an email to me regardless but with no reservation number on it :mad: :mad:

    he just did not mock it correctly enough to establish that he was making fun of the poster, so it appears as though he could do with grammar lessons himself.

    should be:

    so the response is:
    He was joking, that was the joke.

    Might pick one up in Liffey Valley. What time do you think I'd have to be there at?

    Opens at 10. I'll be there around 9.30. Dont fancy waiting in the cold much longer than that. If I turn up and there's a queue outside, I'll head on somewhere else.

    Picked up a 32GB TouchPad in Harvey Norman Limerick 3 hrs ago for €129. On the box the price was marked as €579.
    This has been a productive day for me.
    Cheers for the Bargain Alert.

    If you have a pc, laptop, netbook or smart phone, would a tablet be useful?

    Rang liffey valley a while ago to check what the story was. The guy there said they don't sell HP touchpads and aren't expecting any stock in.

    Sounds to me like the staff have already bagged them up. Might still be worth chancing it but I wouldn't waste my time

    I suppose you'll have at least one available when the wife and kids have made off with the rest.
