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

ripcord · 25-08-2011 03:39PM

Has anyone received the "product dispatched" email from elara yet?

I paid for mine yesterday, got the "payment received" mail. But nothing since.

Just curious.

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.

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.

Derka dur everyone

I would be over the moon if could get this off you .Wanted for my daughters 21st birthday gift .Beforever grateful .thanks

I got one, informed one of my work mates about it after I put through my order and payment and he got one, so they were up for more than a few minutes anyway.

Thats a touchpad and Pre3 off Elara for me

Yeah its all so easy when you had direct access closed of to the public ...

dvpower · 25-08-2011 03:40PM

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.

celj · 25-08-2011 03:40PM

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

karltimber · 25-08-2011 03:42PM

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.

Poll regarding FNAC orders on a french website:

Purchased from FNAC or Darty or CDiscount -> Received: 5 votes
Bought at Fnac -> Cancelled / postponed: 3 votes
Bought at Fnac -> soon sent: 4 votes
Bought at Fnac -> Sent: 6 votes

NOW:
Purchased from FNAC or Darty or CDiscount -> Received: 11 votes
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.

Eathrin · 25-08-2011 03:45PM

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

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.

Ya i know

ShaneU · 25-08-2011 03:48PM

just rang argos and the said they have one held for me

siulas · 25-08-2011 03:49PM

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

Palm Pre was €100 from Elara.

Oat23 · 25-08-2011 03:53PM

Pretty pi$$ed off about the rest of the country getting their argos reservations honoured but not Sligo. Would it have killed them to send 5 touchpads over our way to take care of the reservations? :mad:

Only 5 reserved in Sligo according to the person I talked to yesterday.

75€ was the price on the site, then they put 25€for shiping and handling..

Yeah I know what you mean, nothing came to Letterkenny

The manager didn't know what I was talking about. Thought it was an error

no sign of any coming in, he checked surrounding stores and they had nothing.

Is that just of the touchpad or the ore3 too? Where did you hear they are getting more stock?

Well, IF they do come through and do sell me one and the price is too high it will be sent right back!!
