    My mate picked me up a 32gb in Currys Lisburn this morning:D Glad this saga is over for me, I was starting to get repetitive stress injury from mashing the F5 key! Might still have a look at the accessories on elara when it goes live.

    Anyone recommend any online retailers in the UK I can try? (I'm in London so even if they don't deliver to Ireland)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 381 ✭✭bricky06


    do you guys think the touchstone charger is worth it at half price if i can get it? if at some stage we got around to having android on them, would the touchstone charger still work or is it built into the webOS somehow? :confused:

    Dabs announced they WILL be dropping the price this morning so I guess why its been hit.

    Has anybody news of the pre 3? According to the internet it's sold out in germany but will be discounted today in uk and france.

    Sorry lads order time 1.15..

    Hopefully they are not working their way back through the orders!

    And IIRC their .ie site is hosted with the UK site, so we're competing with the UK users for access.

    I can't see it anywhere

    from the elara thread:

    Right we have not sold out yet, we dont know stock allocation yet
    We do not know the exact time stock will be loaded
    You cannot order over the phone
    You cannot order at the warehouse
    You cannot preorder
    I cannot phone you when it gets loaded
    I cannot email you when it gets loaded
    Please stop pressing F5 repeatedly

    That should cover most questions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭checkcheek

    put i must get one, its the principle at this stage

    buying it on adverts or ebay even at cost price just won't be the same for me at this point after a good 11-12 hours following the threads yesterday and been up since 7 this morning...

    I'm just gonna have to get it on a site to feel worth it :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    Me too.... saying ... order preparation (translated)

    fingers crossed.... :)

    I just ordered mine at the reduced price on dabs.ie. The reduced price only shows in the basket, not on the main site. Showing in stock and got order email confirmation. Got mine for:

    16gb - €121.08
    32gb - €143.54

    good luck!

    http://www.itproportal.com/2011/08/23/89-hp-touchpad-tablet-stock-sale-update-30-uk-retailers/
    • **** We will be publishing another update at 11am *****
    We are currently monitoring 30 websites across the UK and Europe to find out whether there are still HP Touchpad tablets remaining and if so whether they have dropped or not.
    The websites we are monitoring are Amazon (Germany and UK), John Lewis, Fnac, Insight, Misco, Dabs, Play, Techdepot, Crescent Electronics, Lambdatek, Pixmania, PCW Business, Equanet, Laptopsdirect, Staples, Dabs/BT Shop, Ebuyer, Argos, BHS Direct, Tesco, Laksys/Comet, Expansys, DSGi and Prepaymania.
    At the time of writing (just before 10am), the following websites do not have any stock left; Fnac, Dixons, PC World, Currys, Laksys/Comet, Argos (Pay & Collect), John Lewis, Ebuyer, Techdepot, Pixmania, Lambdatek, Carphone Warehouse/Best Buy and Tesco.

    The rest are still showing full price and only Staples, at the time of writing was showing
    a discounted £89 with free delivery but the site is currently running very slowly.
    The Touchpad frenzy crashed other websites yesterday including Equanet and Comet while Argos, Carphone Warehouse and DSGi websites were running extremely slowly.
    It is not known when the rest of the other retailers will cut their price, but the fact that so many retailers have literally taken down the Touchpad altogether doesn't bode well for those looking to buy.
