HP Touchpad Thread (NO Discussion Of Personal Buying/Selling)

upandcumming

Just a heads up to people.

I'm in NY for the summer and I've just ordered 2 of these for $220.
HP have discontinued the Touchpad this week and are now letting them go for $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).

I know most of you aren't in the USA but treat this as a heads up to get a very good tablet, with Flash Player, at a knock-down price.

I think expansys price for touchpads will be very high.. look at pre3 price.. they want €200, when elara was selling them for 75€. Even if there will be touchpads it will be ripoff

Bought at Fnac -> Cancelled / postponed: 12 votes
Bought at Fnac -> soon sent: 9 votes
Bought at Fnac -> Sent: 17 votes
Which I think is positive enough.

Methinks French customers will get priority though..

Elara's getting more stock.

ok

my dabs order is in a dispatch state - and they gave me a tracking number.
even though they haven't charged my cc yet .... will see later.

saw this on my account and decided to buy a HP case - a e25 gamble.
went down to argos navan - and bought it.

chatting to the manager - he said navan never had stock of the tablet.
but when he checked for a customer this morning - it shows on their system as a due date of the 9th sept - prob for the UK , for more tablets.
just some info.

thanks folks for all the info etc.

now hopefully my dabs order will dispatch today :cool:
strange they way they sent me a dispatch email but haven't charged my cc.

You could ring your credit card company and ask if they have checked the card and locked the money. Might not show online yet but credit card company might have more info.

€200 isn't even worth it, they were meant to be £50

My Expansys order has gone to Raoul as he was first to pm me!!
Sorry to everyone else!

dvpower

Expansys is selling the Pre3 for €199.99
http://www.expansys.fr/hp-pre-3-webos-smartphone-azerty-black-8gb-221224/

Doesn't bode well for pricing on the touchpad, if they do get their hands on stock.

You know what guys I'm gonna be honest, I don't even want a touchpad anymore....too much trouble for what's it's worth. I have a reservation in Argos starting next Wednesday and it's not even about owning one now, it's about the principle of it and getting the RESPECT I deserve.

Reserved a 32GB for Argos Liffey Valley on Sunday - got confirm and code to say it would be available from Friday (tomorrow). Rang yesterday morning when I saw others on here had gotten before the date they were due to be available - not in stock. Tried again this morning on the off chance - again not in stock. Then got a txt from them just before 12 saying it was ready for collection - didnt' want to leave it till after work to collect just in case it 'accidentally' got given to someone else so I went over there at lunch and collected it.

The guy at the till went off to double check it was actually there when he saw what the order was - came back a min later to say it was all grand and took the payment. Said they'd only gotten a couple (however many that happens to be) today and that they were all reserved so allocated to those customers. So at least in LV they appear to be honouring reservations.

Have to say the Argos staff in Liffey Valley were very helpful both on the phone and in the store. Lady on the phone urged me to get up before my reservation ran out as they couldn't extend it any further.

I would, I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal and could be considered breach of contract.

No it's not! I wanted the Touchpad AND the Pre3. To that end, I made sure I could get two Touchpads if I could and as it happened, I did..

Yeah, I stopped reading about there..

.. anyways, time to slap an 'Expired' tag on this bad boy!

Oh.. and this is not Adverts.ie - don't advertise swapping or selling on thread please.

I'm sure you are a nice guy but I'll pass thanks for the offer, could be useful for someone with access to a throw away visa number, think you can do that somehow.

They are not the same price, but basic supply and demand economics tells a very different story. Touchpad has massive demand at the moment. Pre 3... not so.

A big tenner in the difference then...
Pre3 are sell out also.

just collect my reservation from Argos Portlaoise this was after being told it wouldnt be honoured yesterday and then today around 1 o clock got a txt saying it was ready for collection

happy out

thanks guys

neonitrix

I must have been in right behind you. My story: I rang the shop this morning, they checked my reservation no. and said they had no stock and to wait until my collection day (Saturday). Got a text 20 minutes later saying they had it, so headed into Portlaoise and there it was. Good luck to everyone else waiting for one and thanks those who provided the heads up in the first place.

Doubt very much anyone will do a straight swap, but maybe swap a pre3 plus some cash for a touchpad.

They are the same price

Feeling a little touchy because you didn't get one??:D;)

I'll let you know in a min how good spellcheck is on it.

Not bothered at all. I was late to the party and only got a FNAC order (which is not going to get me damn all). If I did get a touchpad I wouldn't be ****ting the thread up though asking for covers and crap.
