Memory card is now back down to 2 days (from 12 days yesterday) on my order status. Seems to be no method to this stock reporting madness.

Just gimme my frickin 770 already will ya!

It was the same for me when I ordered mine. Looking at stock levels won't make any difference except frustrate you. You simply have to be patient and wait for an email telling you it's dispatched. Only then are you sure to get it.....
Admit its not easy when waiting on a new toy.

Hey guys,

I ordered from expansys last Saturday (22nd of July) - I spoke to someone just there who confirmed my order would be despatched this afternoon and to expect an email 'shortly'.

fifth

^ I hope that stock did come in this morning then and that I get an email too!

I ordered on the 26th and it said it has shipped today.

I think they try to prepare people for the worst case scenario so they can be gladly surprised. I have no problem with that.

Let the fun begin!

Ordered today, shipped today

:eek: What time did u place your order? I had mine around 2pm-ish today and up to this hour still showing up "waiting to be packed and shipped." Expansys need to hire more people doing packing!

Marty

Dave!

Redisle

Just got a call from dhl, its here now and they are giving it to the local delivery van

Dave!

Wow, impressive delivery time. Mine has been shipped now How do I track it with DHL? It should probably be here by Friday, judging by ye'r delivery times!

whizzbang

There should be a dhl logo on the bottom of your order page, click that!

Price for the tablet and card bundle is now reduced to €115.

I ordered mine yesterday and it still hasn't shipped

Just rang them a moment ago - it hasn't been shipped as the bundle memory is out stock until next week! :mad:

Part shipping seems to cost another €13 thou. I am thinking of getting a bigger memory from somewhere thou - being impatience!

Dave - how come you got yours shipped today? With bundled memory?

Marty

whizzbang

Mine just arrived!

Mine has just part shipped free of charge i.e. charged only for the normal shipping.

May have been something to do with the phone call that I made earlier threatening to cancel the order Or it could just be good customer service :rolleyes:

BTW, where is the tracking info?

it shows up when DHL have the item, you can't miss it once it's there

whizzbang wrote:

I called the office to say I would be in late. DHL dropped it at 10:30

I can't wait to get home and start playing. Got the memory card and the GPS unit at the same time. SWEET!

Note: The 770 comes with a US (I think) plug, but it accepts up to 240v. You need an adaptor - I heard of some people getting it with the adaptor.

Now we need a 770 thread to discuss all the ideas and showcase the implementations, including pictures. If nobody does it, I will do it, though I am not sure where it fits in Tech forum. Any suggestions?

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Ordered mine on 19th and it only shipped 2.30 today . Looks like I'd have it by now if I'd ordered yesterday . Case of first in last out I think !! Still 12 days on , 1 more day wont matter

Nah when I checked my email I had one saying it had already been processed, and no acknowledgement of the email I sent last night Ahh well no big deal. If needs be I can order it seperately, or else maybe they'll get the email later and offer to send out the memory seperately but charge me for the bundle, who knows. I'm just happy that it's already en route Any chance of it arriving tomorrow???

Sounds like a great idea as I think it is clogging up the bargains forum a little bit.
How about the "Gadgets" subforum in tech?

A user called theHomeOfDob had also talked (in the page before this one) about doing a writeup of how he set up dual booting (OS2006 and OS2007 Hacker Edition) on his 770. A new thread would be a great place for it.

Rang them again and luckily after I mentioned my order number, the girl immediately explained no stock and offered me a free partly shipping. Status now say shipped. Dave, I'm back in the race, wuhoo.

Don't start any new thread until I got mine. Kidding, lol . I agree with dal, sub-forum "Gadget" might suitable for the job. Or, we could always start "Irish User Group For Nokia 770". Ahaha.

Well you could start a thread in any of the following forums: Gadgets, GPS, Mobilies & PDA's, Portable Media Players.
Just goes to show how versatile the thing is .

Actually it would be great if some kind mod snipped out all the tech trouble-shooting posts from this thread all into its own thread but at almost 400 posts that's probably too much to ask .

OK, gadgets it is. I posted the first here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=53686790#post53686790

Now, to play with my new toy so I can post loads

Just to say mine arrived early Wednesday morning. Now I'm really going to have to sort out my wireless network access!!

cmcweb

ditto for me, aren't DHL great, and expansys for coming through after all!hadnt any trouble connecting to my wireless network, yay.

its the business for ebay, boards browsing and email, im very pleased, twas worth the wait and a great price too! now to buy a decent sized rs-mmc card on the cheap. dont suppose anyone can point me in the right direction!

Dave!

Mine arrived a few minutes ago! The worst part of getting a new gadget is having to charge it before you can use it Anyone know how long I have to leave it for?

took about an hour and a half for me.

Dave!

Ahh that aint too bad, I'll play Battlefield 2 til then, lol.

By the way, they threw an adaptor in for me. That was nice of them Overall a good experience for me, contrary to others'! Quick processing, quick delivery, and a complimentary adaptor! Nice guys

ps. Marty please don't hate me

Lissavane

Mine arrived about 20 mins ago. Great service from DHL. Pity about Expansys's chaotic stock display but fair play to them, I emailed last week, they replied promptly to say stock would arrive early this week and they were true to their word.

Can you not just use it while it's charging?

Dave!

Most things say that's bad for the battery, so I don't usually take the chance. At 12.20 I'll be able to play with it, don't worry!

That's what I did too...

watchinpaintdry

^ same here. Charging only took about 40 minutes, using it the whole time while it was plugged in. Ordered on the 27th arrived this morning. Can't go wrong for that price.

mine could have been 40 minutes too, felt like a lifetime though
