I did this this am. They told me to PFO.

However last week they did offer me a 32gb but rang the wrong numbers so hilariously my wife said ring back when offered it, and they then rang some other number again instead of ringing her back. Now they have no record of the offer and are ignoring all further calls emails etc.

I am giving up, will get a better tablet now instead.

For a Touchpad? I very much doubt it!

Any Touchpad's they have remaining are only going to customers who got an e-mail offering them one.

I had ordered a 16GB touchpad which was cancelled and I did receive a €100 voucher.

I chanced my arm any rang FNAC saying I would like a 32GB Touchpad but she said that I couldn't as I got the €100 voucher. Anyway it was worth a try.

Have unsubscribed and lost interest in the TP but I'm in The Netherlands at the moment. Can pick one up if anyone knows of somewhere they are available in Amsterdam/Schiphol.
