Better wait for new round of sale, its useless to keep on wasting time and energy now, better use it during 2nd rd and in the mean time, better get reg in all retailers site so that the only few clicks can take directly to payment gateway. :)

2nd rd is FOR SURE.
 
i don't think anybody will go live today the new deal, it will probably be tomorrow when the 2nd wave starts.

Good Night and happy Hunting.
 
There will be no second round anywhere except om HP site. And HP won't accept orders from non US ip address leave alone non-us CC.

We have a work around for the NON-US IP. But we need to do something about NON-US CC
 
I am sure Amazon is also going to get another round of inventory. However the big question is how many did HP initially order, how many actually got sold, and how many are remaining. Currently everyone is just calling the blind man's buff
 
The onSale CC never every picks up the call. :@

I have no clue about my order.

And another main question is WHEN WILL THE 2ND ROUND BE because that is more important. These people sometimes put it on sale at like 2 AM Local time :|
 
I am done with 2 orders cancelled by HP.com and 2 via amazon - onsale.

I am gonna wait for a android port to be released, and then some noobs would soft brick their device and sell them on ebay/craiglist for 50 $.

I have started hating tablets so much, I think I would sell my viewsonic gtablet today itself

Damn....I check my status on onSale website and it says DISCONTINUED...which means Cancel i guess. :(

Fook onsale :@:@:@

How to check status on onSale website for amazon orders?
 
asktp converted blocking amount to charge
hope they ship it

These BN fukcers never had touchpad
How could they sell competitors tablet when they had nook
As one SDer commented it was like HP selling Dell computers
AND now those axxholes have still not removed the charge from CC
Has anyone charge removed ?
CC maxed out due to these BN

How is that every online retailer has played this game
They had stock of 1000 and took orders of 50000
All websites had the snag that they kept on taking orders even when inventory was over
The listing was there even after 36 hrs when stock was over
come on I can accept the mistake for 6hrs , even 8 hrs maybe but 36 hrs unimaginable
What i dont understand is that how can everyone create the same mistake
Was it a preplanned thing after the downgrade from credit rating and the recession
ALL these companies now have our CC info
Was this preplanned and made to look conjured
Why was HP internal staff not aware of fire sale except CEO
How much time does it take for all CEOs to talk quietly and come to a consensus
WHY WAS NO STAFF AWARE
The top head who controls the programming was also not aware
You are closing on huge division and the Head of that department is not aware
Does that happen ?
I really dont know as I am not in private sector
important thing to note is 2 companies which care for their customer service and are reputed for it
AMAZON AND NEWEGG
were not part of it
basically only AMAZON

I dont see my money from BN coming back before 21 days which is the maximum time for the CC
And might have to fight it out with the debit card transactions
 
Finally i was able to get one through my friend(big thanks to him :D) who resides in CO, broomfield. Yesterday he went to local BB store before opening itself and fortunately he was 3rd in the queue got one :). According to him they had only 20 16GB and first 20 people in the queue got it. Yes, BB had restriction of one item per buyer and there was huge queue it seems. Tomorrow he is going to ship to SnS address :)
 
B&N charge is still on my CC.

My bro lives in Broomfield, CO. Shall i ask him to go looking for one?
 
Apparently the same friend got one from officemax on sunday itself(after i told him about this offer), but he has compared it with his ipad2 and felt its bulky/ugly. Hence returned it :(. But before returning he didnt tell me, since it was night for me. Then morning i told him...i need it at any cost.. but it was already too late to go and get back that :(

Agreed

Just ask him to compare Ipad price and this price

Who say we are buying it for the super advanced graphics engine or out of the world graphical interface or hardware

Ask him which is the next best option in 99 and 149

Even if it weighed 5 kgs then also everyone would had taken it
 
Hey Guys any Live sale happened overnight today?

anyways my DirectDial Order is also cancelled.. here is their email.

Thank you for your recent purchase with DirectDial.com for a HP Touchpad Tablet Computer with webOS.

In the AM of Tuesday, August 23rd, we were advised of the tremendous price decrease on the various HP Touchpad models. After posting the revised price to DirectDial.com we were inundated with orders. By the close of business DirectDial.com had sold over 7,000 units. We have been overwhelmed with the popularity/success of this promotion, as has Hewlett-Packard Canada.

Your order has been received by our system and therefore you are in the HP Canada Touchpad queue. This is not a guarantee we will be able to ship your order. Your credit card has not been charged any fees. Your credit card will not be billed until the order has been confirmed for shipment to you.

Over the last several days there has been a lot of miss-information on the quantities available of the various Touchpad models from both HP Canada and our various authorized distributors. It is therefore very difficult to project the number of units we will be able to secure over the next week or so. We are currently working with HP (Canada) to secure as many units as we can to fulfill the current orders in our system. All orders will be shipped on a first-come/first-shipped basis and limited to 1-unit per customer as stock is allocated.

According to our information, the Canadian market is receiving several thousand Touchpad units next week. All are spoken for and many will be shipped to DirectDial.com and other major authorized HP retailers. At this point we don’t know if there will be another shipment into Canada or when. However we have been advised there is inventory in transit from overseas. Again it is unclear how reliable this information is. At this time we are not accepting any new orders on HP Touchpads.

As orders begin shipping we will contact you via phone to ensure you still wish to receive your order. If you wish to cancel your order please forward an e-mail to touchpads@directdial.com with “Please cancel order confirmation number Your Order Number” in the heading. We will reply confirming your cancellation.

Personally I have been a part of the computer industry for over 25 years. In that time I do not believe I have witnessed an event quite like this. We appreciate your patience in this most unusual time in our industry.

Regards,

Greg Bruzas

I guess not with 5 kg:)
 
ASKTP.COM Update

At this time the shipping techs have decided to call it the day and take the trucks along at the main center - my understanding is that if they will not be able to configure the XML feed in our e-commerce from their specific shipping and tracking servers they will fall back on the original order Id numbers (as primary) and the confirmation numbers (time stamp) as backup. Seems the viable solution is for them to give another try tomorrow morning at 7:30AM EST otherwise all orders will be sent out as described in the backup plan
