    I was just in Argos Galway and still no stock or sign of any more coming.....

    No stock showing either for HP employees (wife) through elara.

    For a discontinued product it surely is popular!!!

    Com'on tablet makers get in, the demand is there.

    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.

    Letterkenny had stock as someone on here got one ,did you reserve one ?

    There is huge demand for €99 high quality tablets.

    Then again, there'd be huge demand for €99 luxury cars as well.


    Selling a high quality tablet for €99 and making a profit is simply impossible.

    Couldn't get one reserved, but was down at 9 the last morning nothing and

    down today no luck either...Maybe they got whatever stock was in the shop

    before the price reduction.

    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.

    Its not necessary to email them, I would have thought the situation is obvious.

    They took rakes more orders than they have stock, and now they are fighting with everyone else to get whatever tablets are left in the supply chain....there'll be a few sitting in warehouses or in trucks but not a significant quantity.

    If they get some they'll fill the orders they took on a FCFS basis.

    I'd say 98% of orders are in the same boat...

    .. you'll just get the "awaiting stock" generic e-mail.

    They don't know anymore.. once they do, they'll let you know.

    fnac have set up a dedicated email address for inquiries about the touchpad, twitter quote:

    As promised, here is the address where vs can ask all your questions about your orders shelves # # hp touchpad: fnacoeur@fnac.com

    Thank you to include your telephone number, customer service will do its maximum to satisfy you as much as possible # # hp touchpad

    /end quote

    chances are they probably set it up so that it could just spew out an automated reply!

    thats a google translate job too, the twitter posts are in french so youll have to email them in french, im presuming they have nothing though and are waiting to see if they can get more to fill orders.

    Madame, Monsieur,

    Récemment sur le 22/8, j'ai commandé un <<HP Touchpad>> avec numéro de commande (INSERT ORDER NUMBER HERE). Jusqu'à maintenant, le statut de ma commande reste inchangé. En ce moment, il continue a dire <<commandé>>. Yat-il un problème avec ma commande?

    Cordialement,

    I'd just like to thank the Boardie (who shall remain anon unless he wants to be outted!) who contacted me before lunch asking if I wanted his spare code for a 32gb in Argos.

    I'd helped him out nearly 2 years ago and at the time he said he hoped he could return the favour at some stage.

    Well today turned out to be that day, even though I'd long since forgotten our interaction, and I'm now the proud owner of a 32gb TouchPad.

    As I said to the guy in question, it's proof that karma does exist. It also reaffirms what Bargain Alerts is all about.

    God bless everyone!

    You're welcome Soarer. You got me out of a hole two years ago and I wanted to return the favour. I knew that you would give it a good home.

    Enjoy it.
    Tweaky.

    I was the same in that I couldn't see how to reserve as they were out of stock since sunday although I only checked the 16gb.Would say argos shops in North might of had being more fruitful but in saying that I really didn't think they would have dropped the price with all the reservations at full price

    The price won't ever change because they're no longer being made. Once the final units work their way through whatever supply chains they're in that's the end.

    HP are having a firesale. When the stocks gone, it's gone. Judging by how fast these things sell out (Thousands in a minute) i'd say they'll be long finished before January.

    That's irrelevant, there's no stock available.

    They set up a dedicated email address which is fnacoeur@fnac.com to deal with touchpad queries. Include your phone no. in the email.

    Eh, someone was asking if anyone here knew how to speak French because he wanted to ask FNAC about his order status. I wrote him up a quick email. I'm not the one who needs to translate anything :p

    Google Translate produces an even worse translation English -> French than it does when translating French -> English. Real translations are still much better.
