HP Touchpad Thread (NO Discussion Of Personal Buying/Selling)

upandcumming · 2011-08-20 05:01:44

Just a heads up to people. I'm in NY for the summer and I've just ordered 2 of these for $220. HP have discontinued the Touchpad this week and are now letting them go for $99 (16GB) and $149 (32GB).

I think it will fall back a few pages but there should be more touchpads released from production so I'd guess it could be left open...

We should do Bargain of the Year award also, this has to be in contention. This thread had it all.

I'd like it left open - thought i had one ordered from barnes and noble and it got cancelled - so i missed out on fnac and everywhere else, but I'm a mindless optimist so fully expect some to arise out of nowhere.

I won't be using my FNAC €100 voucher code if anyone wants it?
Please only ask for it if you're definitely going to buy a tablet, not if you're only thinking about buying one.
The list of tablets available to buy are at:
http://www.fnac.com/Tablettes-100-cheque-cadeau/Tablette-Tactile/nsh248872/w-4?OriginClick=YES&Origin=mail_5fd3b0c4
By the way, I'm not even sure if codes are transferable.

Pretty sure codes are linked to account, burnt you should be able to edit the postal address and credit card details to the new owner.

If I happen to be lucky enough to get a a TP I might also be in a position to pass my voucher on.

So I'm guessing there is absolutely no chance of shops in Ireland getting this back in, right?

OKay, Never got a tracking number, But went to the DHL website and hit track by reference and typed in the invoice number and the delivery location and it found it.

So now have the tracking number.

Anyone else looking to get there tracking number can do the same. Assuming they didn't get one from FNAC!

Did you enter any specific dates for shipment? The number you enter is the one under "Facture" right? This isn't working for me
