    Mines still at bank autorization with FNAC, anyone else in the same boat?

    Misses one failed at bank transaction. No other reason given, right cc details and balance on card etc.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled a lot more for vague reasons and keep them for French people.

    Us Irish owe them and Germany too many billions to be buying luxuries :eek:

    Yep, was giving F5 a good workout while erasing my dinner.

    (Yeah, that was an auto correct typo. Leaving it.)

    looks to me people are already taking advantage of this offer:

    isn't profiteering banned on adverts.ie?

    No email, she logged on to check the status and it says 'cancelled. Bank failed'. Was in french but translated to that?!

    Fingers crossed for amazon coming through.

    Been trying to get one of these since early Saturday...

    Naw, I think the blame for denying you the awesomeness of Webos lies squarely on the HP's CEOs' shoulders.

    Anyone any ideas where else to find some Touchpads or Pre3s other than Hongkong and Japan??

    No such thing on the page. Items excluded from the 30 day money back guarantee have a little cross symbol beside them. HP in the US are giving refunds and price difference refunds for anyone who has purchased one since June 19th.

    Well sharing it with a community who share with each other all the time.

    Not with 10000s of people who stumble upon here and reap the info of boards.ie users to get what they want...then disappear thil they found some other alert.

    That, IMO, is not the spirit of BA.

    Especially when u get people buying/ordering a few from every site mentioned here.

    Anyone have a reservation for argos that I could have? Will pay €125 for a 16gb or €150 for a 32gb also.

    That's very strange as I took it straight off the page earlier but now not showing up on the page? :eek:

    Maybe the Argos staff are reading this thread.

    Actually just checked it again and it looks like it is covered as the + isn't on the description so it may well be okay.

    If somebody gets one and doesn't then need their Argos code, I know someone who will put it to good use ;).
