honestly feel i have to kill someone or something, days trying to get a touchpad or pre3 and nothing, and getting sick of starign at webpages that wont load.

Try calling cleverboxes. They say they have 160 in stock as per their tweet. Waiting to get the go-ahead from HP.

and cleverboxes.com is dead

They never said they had any in stock, only that they would update about stock availability and pricing. They are probably waiting on answers from HP just as we're waiting on answers from them...

Apparently HP's own stock was sold to employees - which, judging by the £90 a pop sale of the Pre2 a few months back, half of them will end up on ebay at twice the price.

UK HP employees received an email this morning offering the 16GB for £69 and the 32GB for £109. They were sold out within around 10 minutes I'd guess.

they are not taking web orders!

FYI - I just got back from Comet store in Taunton (somerset) and they still had a functioning touchpad on a display in store with a stupid price next to it (350 I think).

Might be worth calling them up, asking them to check their system on the price and send it to your local store if your still looking

[truth_is_overated]

i wonder if any high street retaliler is still sold out cause i just checked HP UK tweets advising to check with them but nothing has changed online

called Cleverboxes. Gets through easily which only meant one thing, they are sold out.

I had a similar email from PC World. When I phoned up to ask, they effectively said that they'd sold more than they had in stock... I'm doubting either will get any further stock now, but I've left my order on the system just in case.

[stickerboy]

Just got the same email. *cries a little*

[uptherams]

Had the same email as above from Amazon too...

[Sipart]

I have had a bounce mail from Amazon as well for my £89 order.

My HPTP £312 order from Amazon pre price drop is on it's way - I have a query with them about price adjustment - but I suspect they won't honor the price drop and it will go back for an amazon employee at £89!

So I expect (being pessimistic) that I will only get the Pre 3 I have a confirmed order for (I hope).

That has not happened yet, phoned them and they said that they have none on stock and somebody will contact me within few days.... is it same story with you...?

[billyboy]

Yes that's exactly what happened. I ordered on Monday night at literally minutes after the sale went live.
