Ok i had a pre-order on amazon designated as "waiting for stock" which has now been cancelled by Amazon.

I also had a reserve on one in Argos (omni in Santry) which was for collection between today and tomorrow. Just went down there now and they dont have my reservation number on the system !!! I showed them the email and txts i got confirming my order, but all they could say was that it wasnt on their system so there was nothing they could do !!!

Also they wouldnt tell me if they even had any in the store for pre-orders or walk-ins !!!

Going to try it again tomorrow as the reservation is for up to tomorrow night but reckon theres 0% chance

They tried to tell me that too, asked to speak to a manager and the manager tried to say the same. I pointed out that my reservation was confirmed, and that there was no ambiguity about it. Then I was told "oh yeah I can see that now", changed their story completely.

Picking mine up tomorrow.

My res
number was on their system when I rang them, said they didn't have them and are expecting a delivery tomorrow or Saturday.

Me too, going to get the Galaxy 10.1 tho - the Amazon cancellation has just drained the life out of me. 2 days of stress and no work done. Bloody power city were selling the galaxy for 409 at the weekend, tried to hold out for a HP and now they are gone back to 479. The joys.

I sincerely hope that those of you with Argos reservations get them.

Was that a 16GB one? Have to say the 10.1 is sexy cool! Feels great in the hand!

Let us know please. Was that for a reservation number in the republic or northern Ireland?

Republic. I think the twitter is maintained by Argos UK workers. But I mentioned my reservation was in the Sligo, Rep. of Ireland branch and they still replied asking me for the reservation number to look into it.

I'll post their reply here.

Yes, the likes of the Fly3 seems to have dropped to the 110 -115 dollar price. Sadly, just American sites though.

My Amazon order has just been cancelled... I had ordered at 00:29 the night of the sell off. Oh well.

U have a URL, my brother lives in the states and parents going over next week :-)

feelpablo · 24-08-2011 03:14PM

another amazon cancellation here..... order confirmation at 00:12....

as other posters have said previously and i will also, I have been a long time customer of theirs and i think this just may have been the last stand..

Probably still not a great buy tho, but decent

Was wondering all the time yesterday why Komplett never had any Touchpads guys?

whata think ? sent them an email to check.

not holding my breath.

Worth getting in touch with them. I ordered mine yesterday morning and followed up with them today as my order still says security processing. Here's what they said:

Hi xx,

I have checked your order and your items should be dispatched from us by the end of today.

Apologies for the delays.

Best regards,
xx.

Can we have one for people with active orders from FNAC et al?

Just to keep track of who's where.

I don't see the point..

.. FNAC have said they'll keep customers updated.

What do you learn from here that you won't already learn from your order status, or contacting the company directly? This thread has turned HUGELY cynical and hate-filled over the last 24 hours and I'm personally sick of it.

I was guaranteed that my unit will be in tomorrow, I'll be a happy chappy once it comes in. Have a few things I need to pick up too so they'll make a good few quid on tomorrow's visit, all going well.

I don't mind spending in stores that look after me and deliver on promises. But if the feck me over I'll keep them busy for a few weeks by reserving out of stock items for collection and just won't bother collecting them.

I agree, Basq, but please don't lock it.

Its still useful for the chances of getting one from the remaining possibilities i.e. Argos, FNAC and Expansys.

Well guys I am one of the lucky ones, got my reservation in Argos earlier today. Delighted. As for people who have reservations and are worried it will go, so long as its in date, they cant be cancelled by staff. Whoever cancels it will have all there info up on screen, user ID, time etc. and will have a lot to answer by management for if found they canceled it for themselves or someone else. Make sure to kick up a fuss if it happens.

In short, if your have an Argos res, your good to-go. Amazon orders are gonzo and FNAC who knows.

Do you honestly think after all we've been through that FNAC aren't? They're miraculously going to get their hands on that many touchpads?

Why bother posting if that's all you're contributing? Are you an FNAC employee? Do you have some form of crystal ball?

Earlier on you were laughing at people that got orders canceled. Cop on.

I think it was saying that when I started the order process at around 8:45. Unfortunately the site slowed to a crawl and I only got my order completed at 9:15. God knows what it was saying then
