Try dealing with them as a vendor and you'll know why. They don't care about the information or lack of information they provide for their products.

Their screens might be good but their packaged products leave a lot to be desired. We used to sell their tv's and almost as many came back as defective ad we sold. Even a 32" tv I bought crapped out after six months and they refused to honor their warranty (coax in was almost entirely static).

Just got an email from HP.


Dear valued HP Shopping customer,

Thank you for purchasing an HP TouchPad. We have been working to meet the overwhelming demand and are pleased to inform you that you will be receiving your TouchPad soon.

Orders will be filled in priority based on your day and time of purchase:

· 16GB model will begin to ship the week of September 5, 2011

· 32GB model will begin to ship the week of September 12, 2011

If you purchased a TouchPad at the original price ($399.99 for 16GB and $499.99 for 32GB), your credit card payment will be adjusted to reflect the new price ($99.99 for 16GB and $149.99 for 32GB). Further, if you have decided to cancel your order, please respond to this message by Friday, August 26.

Thank you for being a valued HPShopping.ca customer and for your patience as we process your order.

Enjoy your TouchPad!

The Viewsonic tablet is pretty good. Lots of development for it. The screen sux though. Horrid viewing angles.

btw I've seen it as low as $239 in the states.

It was just on Woot for $239!

I'm been trying to find a good review of it since all the updates, as even the viewing angle is supposed to be fixed in the latest models.

Really? The only way would be to replace the panel and I don't think they would bother this late in the game. I have heard that a screen protector helps somewhat.

Dear StylinRed,



We wanted to connect with you immediately with respect to your recent visit to BestBuy.ca where you ordered the HP 32GB TouchPad with Wi-Fi. Being upfront and direct with our customers is important to us. Recently, an error within our online system was made, and as a result of the overwhelming volume of orders placed, we were unable to fulfill your request due to a lack of inventory and have cancelled your order. We wish to assure you that your credit card will not be billed for this amount whatsoever. We appreciate this is likely disappointing news and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.



In addition, we wish to make clear that we will not be receiving any new inventory of this product, however should we receive any occasional customer returns, you may see available stock in certain stores. For more information about the HP TouchPad, please click here.



As explained in our Web Site User Agreement, BestBuy.ca strives to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible each day. However, as maintenance of our website is a human process, errors do occur upon occasion. Our online retail teams are busy reviewing this particular issue to learn from it and ensure we can make your online shopping experience even better next time. If you have any further questions we would direct you to our current FAQ information as posted on our website here.



Again, we regret the inconvenience and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to serve you better in the near future.



Sincerely,
boo

sidenote Heather Magee looks really hot (someone who works there on here must know her) *edit* nevermind saw a bigger picture; she's cute though

Got an email from direct dial saying they aren't sure if they'll be able to honor their orders.

FFS should have just ordered from HP.ca, that seems to be where most went. I didn't want to have to deal with PHONING them, 1994 style, to get my price adjusted, as most where saying you'd have to do.
