It was after 11am when I got my collection text from Argos, presumably the tablets had to be delivered that morning and then processed to put them in the system. So for people with reservations today, they may start arriving during the morning.

Just looking on the fnac facebook and someone posted this

Hp touchpad Monday ordered a 20 h 33, e-mail confirmation of the shipment the next morning received this morning around 11 am, thank you very much for your quick fnac:)

So that's half 7 our time, so unless anyone ordered anywhere near that time, You will be lucky to get one.

It also seems, if you email them (fnacoeur@fnac.com) they will ring you.
(As said earlier unless there willing to ring another country and you can speak french...Wouldn't hold much hope there)

Yes but not everyone knows about it, and going by the amount of posts in it, not many of us do. Just helping fellow boardsies out, no harm in that.

I ordered 12 minutes before that customer.. and have heard nothing.

Like I said already (somewhere in this thread), priority is more than likely being given to French customers.
