LOL, just wasted two hours trying to order a couple from anywhere I could think of. Seems a shame to have opened new accounts with online stores that will doubtless sell my contact details to all and sundry...but not actually managed get a single order confirmation. Je stooooooopid.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
comet go go go
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
just got a confirmation on 2 :)
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
you lucky shfitnineinroeintoien ; ) Site just went down as I tried. Super LOL.

I've actually had quite a laugh trying to get one so I don't really mind : )
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
website hanging on me :(
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
Got to checkout, put in card details and then site crashed (comet)
[TouchPad General] chaywa:
At least HP will make some money back in selling Comet, CPW and other retailers new servers!
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Comet hasnt dropped the price yet!
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
Comet at normal price?
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Yep Comet hasn't dropped the price yet
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
Naaa, once you go to checkout it will be at the reduced price, but so far I can't actually get the order to the final stage.....I think my griflriend once said something about that to me ; )
[TouchPad General] hateem:
Hi, plz i want to buy one, and am unable to find one. Plz cud i interest anyone in buying one for me if they manage to find one? Or one of the people whp have bought in bulk to sell me one later. I am located in glasgow, and can travel to edinburgh or in glasgow anywhere to pick. I will pay an additional amoint for your services.

Plz.......... someone?
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
lol can't get to checkout
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
ah your right you have to go to checkout to get reduced price from comet but the site keeps crashing on me!
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
I get an Ajax error when trying to buy with Comet. Who else has that?
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
spending all my time removing the 18 units from my basket!!!
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
I think that's because we're all trying.....

So, all of you stop trying to get one and, um, i'll order us all some. Ahem ; )

'Request unsuccessful' - also something I hear from my girlfriend.

Sod it, I'm going to order a new phone instead for four times the price and then get huge buyer's remorse. Maybe a Ducati. That should cheer me up.
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Haha, okay :P not!

I got to store selection so shh let me try, no one else use the site!
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
Keep trying!! re comet
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
got to checkout at comet, now unavailable :(

as in the product!
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
When i try home delivery, it cant find my address

When i try store pickup, they're out of stock in 3 stores near me!

have to be kidding me
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
Sod. Again.

You realise some of us are going to end up with about 40 each and then not be able to get rid of them, eh?

Okay, so now I've just been called away by my gf to deal with a large spider in the kitchen. Clearly I'm not meant to buy a Touchpad. It's a sign, isn't it?
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Get me a Honda CG while your at it, want my first bike.....
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
well CPW is backup.... but no more buy button :-(
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
Had one of those a very long time ago. You're not missing much, honest ; ) Sorry, very off topic on my part.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
entered card details and site crashed

also customer support is closed!
[TouchPad General] SamWhite:
Getting an Ajax error on Comet... anyone else?
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
Yabsolutely.
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
I can't even get that far now. Good luck, hope its still in your basket, mine is empty each time I re-try.
[TouchPad General] sc6895:
This is so aggrovating, keep getting to enter payment then crashing!
[TouchPad General] SamWhite:
Refreshed page, fine now.

Try a different browser?

But now I can't get on to the basket page for Comet - anything to https://secure.comet.co.uk isn't working.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
seems to be the basket that keeps crashing
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
It says that "There are currently no delivery dates available.

Sorry, one or more of the items in your basket is currently unavailable to (my postcode) "

Seems comet is out of stock then?
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
Yep, I'm having exactly the same problems as you with Comet.
[TouchPad General] awesome-member:
after hours of....................................my conclusion is.

THE TOUCHPAD IS A LIE
[TouchPad General] SamWhite:
Got in to the basket at Comet - none in stock from the three stores locally for me or for delivery :(
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Yeh happened to me, and says out of stock for deliveries too
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
mine went to the secure credit card stuff, entered all that.... and i have no idea if it was ordered or not now :confused:
[TouchPad General] echolock:
Have tried buying these from Dixons, Comet, CPW and PCWorld on and off since 6PM to no avail. I suspect there's hardly any of them available, the various retailers' sites are experiencing stupidly high demand and so are crashing left right and centre, and some people are buying ten each :(
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
I know! why are people buying 10! leave some for us :'(!
[TouchPad General] SamWhite:
Wait to see if you get a confirmation email :)
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
Anybody going to take a gamble on ordering one from Play.com at full price then trying to get the difference back?
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
havent so far so i would assume not... stupid that the call centre is closed though!
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
I thought about it - but no - they'd probably take the money first and I cant afford it :(
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
in comet, willing the browser to go to checkout.
[TouchPad General] Ouzo:
Same here, been trying since 6pm.
[TouchPad General] letom:
This is what I'm thinking but it's a big gamble to make.
[TouchPad General] echolock:
It just baffles me why this wasn't better managed. I mean, they must have *known* that a hackable tablet like the TouchPad would fly off the shelves for £90. Would it have been too hard to have an in stock countdown to avoid people's hopes being raised and then smashed to pieces? :-P

Every time there is stupidly high demand these websites fall over.
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
http://i.imgur.com/YcgTn.png

Come ON!!!!!!
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
damn it so close. i chose home delivery and it said it couldn't do it! and when i tried to change it to store pick up, it crashed.
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
awww.... no there is no store pick up either... :(
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
5 mins and i give up :(
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
I think i messed up not picking store pickup the first time around.
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Im gonna try stay up till like 1 looking for any link!

Then sleep, wake up early and get to all the shops as soon as they open!
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
lol - play and argos seem the only ones left I can think of - play.com said at about 6.45 they were sorting it out (taking their sweet time about it) - and argos told me they wouldnt do anything till tomorrow AM - so that's it - I'm out - I've put my card details in comet twice and no email confirmation - if they take money i'll be peeved!

good luck bargain hunters!
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
Looks like 32GB is finished in Comet.
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
Anyone know what happened to dixons?
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
IF you can understand French try this:

http://www.fnac.com/HP-TouchPad-9-7-Tactile-16-Go-WiFi/a3613653/w-4

Cause google translate is not doing a very good job of translating the webpage during checkout stages...
[TouchPad General] AdamLC:
I think I managed to get one from Currys earlier. Im not holding my breath though!
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
gone in about 30 secs i think
[TouchPad General] AdamLC:
The website mostly died even before the sale :/

[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Nice! Hope you get them!

BUT, why did you get 4?!
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
well i got play and argos on auto refresh but i doubt will see anything tonight
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
Do you know which store you used? all the post codes I put in for store pick up say it's not available.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
so you might end up with 1 tablet from that :confused:
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
Bet he's gonna make a nice sum on ebay
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
gonna give one to the folks, one to g/f dad, one to erm.... (cough) ex girlfriend... one for me to see what it takes to compile android for the ***** :)

Probably wont get any though, so gonna keep attempting to order from other sources
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
cheaper at amazon at the moment than play.com :P

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TouchPad-in...89MQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314044992&sr=8-1

http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/20645782/-/Product.html

and argos is still expensive: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5086043.htm?tag=tacthptouchpad_1
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
If I have any spare, will sell on here for cost! Not into profiting from circumstance, detest people like that!!
[TouchPad General] letom:
If I buy it now, surely they have to give me the difference if they reduce the price soon?!?
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
anyone know which comets stores have it in stock? all the stores for store pick up say it's gone.
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Is the risk worth taking?
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
i do keep thinking that you have 30 days to return it... i wonder if price change and if they dont return the difference that would do it?
[TouchPad General] DJ_Evil:
I think all the shops show as out of stock because they haven't updated the price in store yet, it was mentioned that dixons at least wouldn't update price in store till tomorrow morning opening. :)
[TouchPad General] letom:
But you can always get a full refund as long as it's within a certain time period can't you?
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
YES!!!

Under SOGA and under statutory rights!

Even if they dont want to give you your money back (very unlikely) you still can ;)

But ins't this price hunt watch pounce scream fun? :)
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
just dont open it - just in case :)
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Yeh but that means that atleast 360 quid will be taken out your account. which is a hell of alot!
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
:( looks like 16gb and 32gb both are gone from comet.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
exactly what stops me... and it could be a little while before they put it back afterwards!

and I am moving house so money is uber tight for me at the moment...
[TouchPad General] sc6895:
I barely have £90, let alone £350!
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Haha tell me about it!

Im giving up all hope now,

Think the best thing to do is go to as many stores as you can tomorrow at like 8
[TouchPad General] danmoz98:
did anyone manage to order from Comet?

I was on the site from a few hours ago when they were still at the original pice any my experience went like this;

Full price, site working, got to Stage 2 of checkout. Refused to offer me a delivery.

Slashed price, saw the 30sec screen once, got into site, got to Stage 2 of the checkout. Refused to offer me a delivery.

Attempted collect from store. Out of stock.

Kept retrying to order online. Just kept telling me it couldn't give me a delivery until eventually they showed as out of stock and the options were greyed out.
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
I got a 32gb for home delivery at £115 from comet
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
Same here.

Managed to go to checkout multiple times, but either they can't do home delivery or its out of stock for store pick up. Finally both options were gretyed out.
[TouchPad General] Touranaga:
Gratz. :):)

I Couldn't get the checkout security page load...
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
Well keep an eye on the xda marketplace (i only orders 1 but others may have more)
[TouchPad General] scotty7910:
managed to reserve a 32gb for collection in belfast argos 429 it says but price drop will come tomorrow.:D
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
Apparently anyone who ordered more than one TouchPad at Carphone Warehouse will only receive one. Good news; possibly they'll have more stock for the rest of us!

It's on this guy's twitter page: http://twitter.com/#!/RichardR
[TouchPad General] Elmar1801:
What xda Marketplace?
[TouchPad General] Cpt Streamline:
This morning i reserved a 32gb at Argos and i have got three days to pick it up. Price drop you bugger!

One question for you... is it possible to get any office editing software on this tablet? If so i may use it for work.
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
I think QuickOffice is on it...but last I heard it was prone to crashing.
[TouchPad General] danmoz98:
Tesco Direct is now out of stock of both 16Gb and 32Gb Touchpads. Despite them still being full price.
[TouchPad General] Cpt Streamline:
Thanks for the reply. Last I heard QuickOffice was view only :(
[TouchPad General] Cpt Streamline:
Big gamble if they don't do the refund offer.
[TouchPad General] Touranaga:
I'm giving up.

I'll give it a shot tomorow morning.

Good luck to ya shopping hunters! :D

and Good night
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
Dont think thats correct, cause a retailer like cpw dont really care, but thanks for the heads up, just mailed them to make sure I get my order :)
[TouchPad General] Imaboyo:
If they don't honour the price you can get a full refund under distance selling regulations.
[TouchPad General] danmoz98:
Or possily not;

- Tesco T&Cs state:

To protect your personal security, we are unable to accept returns on some non-faulty imaging & recording products. These include:

MP3 & MP4 players

Digital cameras

[TouchPad General] Cpt Streamline:
Whats this? i've never heard of it but i feel i need to.
[TouchPad General] deanwray:
AND next to that you will some some statement to the effect of "This does not alter your statutory rights"!

Which means it's simply a NOTICE or OFFER of terms and not actually binding (although they may believe it is)

e.g.

Simply send in a signed waver with it to eleviate their concerns :)

or

Don't agree with it :)
[TouchPad General] danmoz98:
Argos have stock and no stringent returns policy. It should be marked by a cross if it's subject to conditions but it's not so might be worthwhile ordering there, then hoping they've slashed the price by the morning and arguing the toss with them over the difference.
[TouchPad General] stothy862:
Eughh, I keep trying to reserve on argos, they say it's available then when I order it is out of stock! 3 times it's done this :/
[TouchPad General] markp1989:
Price on Amazon UK just went up to 394.12 from £349.99.
[TouchPad General] Christophicus:
The 16 GB version is currently available on Amazon.co.uk for £95 shipped to most places in Europe.
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Sucks, saw 3 in stock and as soon as i got to checkout it said out of stock! now they are back to original price!

if i was a minute earlier goddammit!
[TouchPad General] zondajag:
Unit numbers in Lakeside,Thurrock, Essex Area.

I have some info on the quantities of tablets still available in the United Kingdom Thurrock Lakeside Area.

These aren't available for online reservation so you need to get there pretty early to buy them.

Lakeside shopping centre has 2 16gb in their PCWorld/Currys store. One is a display model.

There are two available at PCWorld in the Thurrock Lakeside Retail Park both or one of them display models maybe 16gb maybe 32gb I'm not sure.

Carphone Warehouse inside Lakeside shopping centre (the one on the upper floor) had 4 16gb models still in stock.

BestBuy in the lakeside retail park only had a few 32GB models.

All will probably be given out first come first serve provided the staff haven't got some themselves.

Good Luck.
[TouchPad General] DJTaurus:
When i click to open the link the price changes back to 229 british pounds....
[TouchPad General] SamWhite:
Yeah, Amazon UK were selling them for £89 - then it said they were out of stock - and now Amazon's sale entry has been removed.

Looks like the few Amazon had have been snapped up.
[TouchPad General] Nollie2:
I managed to nab a Touchpad this evening from Carphone Warehouse. Their website (once it loaded) let me access the device page, but didn't show any options to indicate I could purchase one. I called the sales team, was on hold for about 10 minutes, and just bought one directly 16GB for £89 with free next day recorded delivery.

I tried Dixons as soon as the sale went live but was welcomed by pages saying the product was unavailable. PC World/Currys websites also show a discounted price for both models, though didn't have a home delivery option, only collect in store and every post-code/region I tried said there weren't any in stock.

In the Reading area I called PC World in the Oracle and they have some Touchpads in stock (sorry, I don't know specific quantities), though the discount at around 6pm yesterday (22nd August) hadn't gone through on their system, though they expect a price change today. They also said there's been a lot of interest.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
morning bargain hunters :P

many joy last night? I notice argos and play still have old full prices
[TouchPad General] zondajag:
i got a 16gig one from carphone warehouse thurrock, lakeside in essex.

They had 4 more left after I bought mine. Refer to my previous posts.

No retailer will allow you to reserve them online. Give up and just go to the stores themselves if you want one. Its going to be first come first serve and a lot of retailers have yet to drop their prices.
[TouchPad General] Lothaen:
problem is i wont have any way to do that as i have to get to work early :(

anyone ordered from play.com?
[TouchPad General] stothy862:
Gunna hit the streets with a mate today to blag us one. Plus he's an argos employee so 10% there ;D
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
im leaving now to hit the streets. if i dont get one ill be pissed
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
I'm going into work 30 mins later. My local retail park has a comet, currys and pc world. If I don't find one I'll wreck the place :-D
[TouchPad General] redbullcat:
Going into local shopping centre to Carphone Warehouse. I'll get the display model if I have to :p
[TouchPad General] ronilzizou:
Just checked pcworld,currys,maplin,staples and carphohewarehouse and they are all out.this was as soon aa they opened...
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
The same for me.

PC world said they sold out last night! I thought the offer started today in store?

Some woman beat me to the last one in comet and currys said they never sold them!
[TouchPad General] DJ_Evil:
Guys, 32gb is in stock on pcworld website

[TouchPad General] AdamLC:
Sold out again :P
[TouchPad General] Gaz25:
price reduced on staples and all out of stock Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[TouchPad General] digger1985:
I was near the payment stage of the checkout when it came with the stock error. Damn it, I had to waste time registering for the site. Why didn't I do it yesterday!!!!
[TouchPad General] markp1989:
just managed to place an order for the 32gb version for £115 on Dixons straight after I ordered it showed as out of stock.

Helpfully my order will go through ok.

Hi Everyone, Have a nice day,

My phone is LG P500 v2.2, I have rooted my phone, no problem.

But, i went system/fonts and copied a comicsans.ttf file & Renamed it to DroidSans.ttf and deleted DroidSansBold.ttf and rebooted the phone..

Since then, the phone is on and only showing ANDROID logo then nothing happening everytime i restarting..

I bought this just only 2 months back, I broke warranty, as I rooted the phone, so I cannot ask company for this problem..

So, plz XDA member & administrators plz suggest me to make my phone working normally..

plz plz...reply me also to sekhar13515@gmail.com

Thank you,

You can still ask LG for repairing.

Since it is not a hardware problem, LG will still help to fix it. I burnt my motherboard by overclocking and LG still replace a new one for me without charging me for money.

Just go and ask.

Does anyone know if this works on the nook with any ROM? I am about to buy one, but wanted to check to see if anyone has used it on their nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
I don't see that listed in the market. I see Yahoo Fantasy Football, basketball, etc, but not Stat Tracker....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Sorry, it is not an app. From a pc it opens what I think is a flash player window and real time updates the fantasy scores.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Then the answer is no. You cannot run PC software on it, only apps....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
I understand it won't run PC software. I maybe could have explained it a bit better. In my browser from my pc I click on the stattracker tab and it opens what I think is an adobe flash or shockwave screen that updates the scores live.

I know we can run flash, but if it is shockwave is that something the nook can do?
