    Use the option to pay by bank transfer. At least you wont have any pre-authorisation etc on your credit card for the full price

    Looks like the 32gb is in stock for only 519euro :eek:

    That's what I did :)

    Strange though it says "Pre-order to BE FIRST" on the search page but then doesn't offer you to pre-order when you click into the item :confused:

    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)
    None there today.

    I emailed expanse and this is the reply I got.

    Hello,

    for the moment we do not know the price as our suppliers don’t offer it at discount prices at least not at this time so your order is on hold till we will have the confirmation.

    You card has not been charged but the money has been reserved according the value of the order.

    we are in talks with suppliers right now but some far we got no reply or confirmation about this from them or HP directly if they will honour this rebate.

    If this is confirmed, we will contact all backorders and let them know the new price as soon as we will have confirmed information and asked them to RE-confirm the orders before shipping them out.


    Best regards

    Edit: I also rang them and the lady confirmed the above. All orders are on hold until HP get back to them. She said they have a load of orders but also have a huge stock, but then again there could be 1000+ orders.

    I'm nearly sure someone was offering you one a few pages back?

    I was on to Argos in Limerick and they said that the Hp touch pads had apple software on them, of some form that was exclusive to apple and they were forced to recall all the touchpad. They said they will be getting the touchpad in again without the apple software and they will NOT be on sale at the discounted price.

    Childers road again? They seem to be full of **** out there, it's Samsung phones that are now on hold due to a court battle with Apple.

    No means No.
    I suspect this applies to people who have reservation codes too. In a way its not argos's fault, they were clearly not aware the touchpad was out of production and were probably expecting a restock like any other product. Even HP's regional managers were not notified about HPs firesale till they read it in the papers.

    If the price will change the website will be updated accordingly and so all backorders.

    OK,I can understand that there are no stocks anywhere on the touchpads as they were on fire sale earlier this week. But I thought the pre 3 should be on sale as well. I didn't see much of that except elera in which I have missed the sale twice.......Does anyone know why there are no signs of pre 3?
