I received no cancellation email but at this point it's more of a "we didn't bother to tell you we cancelled". Stuck in limbo -_-. and can't get through @ that #

Same for me. Calling the number eventually results in "unable to process your call" and a hang up. The charge on my card shows as a pre-authorization, not a full-fledged charge. I fully expect it will be cancelled eventually.

What annoys me most is that even though it's not a real charge, it places the funds on hold. Could be for some time, depending on how soon it gets resolved.

Just shot an email to customer service, don't expect much from that route either.

So this seems less and less like something simple to get a hold of, in either the 16GB or 32GB versions (no word on the 64GB ones either?)...

Guess it would be legwork time to hit all the stores in the area to get one, and this is still with no promise there will be any new OS's, but hopefully Android will get placed on it. Does anyone that owns one know if they have a flash/resinstall option for WebOS?

I have to chuckle when I see the commercials now, they haven't been able to pull them yet.

yea i am also with that unable to process order crap, i hope it'll go through.
I also got one from OneSale on Amazon, which I also have No idea if it'll get here.
I got on that B\N deal right at the beginning, maybe they froze everything until they see who got it first.

If any of those fail, HP.com are still well stocked, i believe at least a 100k, if not more.

ironm8 2011-08-22 16:08

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
1 thing is certain, B\N are FOOLS.
Not only that they over-ordered, they also refer everyone to their under-equipped telephone service. pffft.

PC World UK have them for £115.00 and £89.00, but they don't have delivery to other EU countries. :(

For people in the EU you can order from France.

No luck for me, B&N cancelled as expected. Hold on funds will be released per my banks normal process.

I am getting "not in stock in my local stores"

kolos 2011-08-22 23:28

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
I had stored item in basket and I could place the order. Now I hope I will receive it. I checked what would be if I chose new one and I have message "Not in stock; order now and we'll deliver when available". The price is still the same.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
Now I have saved these offers in my account.

Both PCw and Curries say the stores are out of stock in my area. Well that I know is **^^*((%$$! I was in my local retail park and both stores had loads

What store did you choose to collect it from? Every store I try is out of stock.

Got my 32GB TouchPad, I'll be sticking with webOS for a while but might swap over to Ubuntu when I get an N9.

For people who had a chance to order from DataVis. Good News!

Negative on B&N. I ordered a 16GB ~11:45PM (PDT) last night and got my "Dear Valued Customer..." letter at 2:20PM today. It's a shame too, I thought I finally managed to order from mainstream retailer.

I'm stunned how many people say they are buying a Touchpad to run Android >.< Seriously, if that's one you want get a Nook ~$180 refurb'd on ebay (downright decent tablet, for an Android).

I dont know how long ago that is but I ordered mine from there about 26 hours ago. took them a while to realise they dont have stock.

"We have enough stock to fill all 8000 orders. Yes, there were people some that ordered 10, 50, 100. Those WILL BE FILLED as well this week, however we may backorder a portion of their order and fill the rest next week. The second batch should be right behind. This way, EACH customer is filled. We will not delete or cancel ANY order. We certainly understand everyone's frustration, and appreciate your
patience." -DataVision

Ah interesting. I ordered about 3 hours after you then. I guess that substantiates the rumors that they had next to no stock.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
What i'm _a BIT_ angry about now are those that ordered 10, 50, 100 according to DataVis, and not for their own company or similar. Wankers.

I hear ya. I think it's the culmination of "Tablet Fever" and the first dirt cheap name brand tablet.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 
Just got one by getting to my local Staples at opening time. They had 5 in stock, I got 1, the staff bought 3. Doubt there'll be any left anywhere in the country now.

I suppose it'd be naive to hope for a Meego port if the TouchDroid team manage to hack the bootloader?

I believe Best Buy do ship internationally, but that offers long gone. Amazon might but out of stock. HP-USA won't. ... damnit companies being racist (lmao)!

I got a couple of 32gb devices from Staples for £300 (£125 each + VAT) and hopefully £15 back through quidco.
Edit : can't see the item on the site now :(
