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

Alanstrainor

I have one reserved in Argos, but i wouldn't have much hope that any will be in stock if i go to get one at a reduced price.

Have been refreshing Amazon.co.uk all morning!

Also there's a tonne of touchpads on ebay, most are too pricey, some are okayish. Worth keeping an eye out.

this is maddening, this thread has the appearance of a support group . Been writing scripts to automatically check pages just so I can do other things, but I have a feeling it won't even be today.

Just rang Harvey Norman in Kinsale Road, Cork and they're at 399, fella on the phone had no idea of a price drop.

Swords did not know anything about price drop either

Unfortunately with any deals like this, lots of people buy large quantities to sell for profit at a later date on ebay when the stocks run out.

There are stories of the sale in the US of people ordering 5+ there is no need for that and the retailers should prevent it.

Anyone else confirm this? As if Harvey Normans are doing a price drop to that, I assume they will advertise it first knowing them.

bruce wayne

guy in Carrickmines said he had no confirmation of a price drop..

devnull

Just called Blanch, say it's still full price and the website is wrong.

Brian

Yeah but then you click the item and it goes back up to the normal price. Hmm. It doesn't look like you can buy online from HN?

The Harvey Norman site now has no listing for any touchpads.

yevveh

I got a call from one of the guys in HN Carrickmines who I rang yesterday, telling me they'd come down. somakasvh there reserved one too.

Generalmiaow, I rang HN Nutgrove yesterday, they didn't have any Touchpads in stock.

Very few apps for it

When I get bored of WebOS I'll find some way to put android on it. There is a team working on porting already.

I doubt it, There are literally no irish retailers who take Amex. Charges are too high so not worth their while.

Did you reserve via the website, or over phone?

How did you manage that? On the website it only quotes the higher price.

Grrr, Carrickmines way too far away for me.

jacool

Online price says €99 on front screen and €399 on next page for the 16GB.
Its €499 for the 32GB!!

cactus10

Odd that HN are jumping on this but nowhere else is

Moyglish

Just curious; how much are they in Harvey Norman

Phibsboro

HN Swords sold out of the 16gb, they have 20 32gb left at 129, they wouldn't take phone reservations on them...

cassette50

None available in Harvey Norman Waterford.
