its not on bestbuy site anymore

i got the confirmation of the order from best buy.. what are my chances on actually getting one ?

so apparently theres a lineup outside hp store downtown lol taking names only

I guess it would be a futile endeavour to go to Costco and London Drugs to try and score one now.

i ordered one last night on bestbuy site. order went through. now just hope i get one.

I snooze.. but i just ordered a 32GB one from BB. I think they're booting some orders or ppl are canceling from time to time. Keep refreshing your cart, but make sure your info is pre-entered and ready to submit.

Let's see if it goes through.

I ordered one from HP.ca at original price, and hope to get it adjustment via phone on monday.

smart move or no?

i was gonna phone in on monday and try to order one

i bet the holding times on monday will be insane lol

the only way i can see best buy honoring this deal is if there really is 200k units in a warehouse somewhere

OR if best buy US ships their stock to canada

after using it for a day I might say this one heavy ass tablet compared to the iPad 2.

Hey guys

Just to let all of you know who havent been able to get one, I just ordered one through HP.ca website.

They are advertised on main page as 100$ for 16 GB and 149$ for 32GB.

However when you go to pay you will be charged 499$ which comes to 565$

I just spoke with a guy at the customer severice number 1-(800)-752-0900 who assured me you will only pay the 149$ and you can call back on monday if it is not back to your credit card, he said they may only charge 149$ on CC but assured me numerous times you will be completely reimbursed on Monday if not. He actually told me im about the 108th caller who has called about this so obv some others are aware as well

I only bought one cause im not a greddy pig and thats all i need for me, guy said none left and not a lot left for Canada so anyone who is interested should order soon.

Best Slick

Any place I can get a screen protector?

No it won't. The good thing about Touchpad is you can overclock it. Not sure if you can do that with Android. TouchPad is slow out of the box, so I imagine Android will be even slower.

a bunch of other teams are also working on getting android to work on it from xda-developers.

TouchPad SW is slow, not the HW. And it should be possible to OC with Android.

did anyone order from the HP site?

did you get free shipping or did ya have to pay?

I didn't order from there, but it said free shipping before.

My BB order was processed. Yay!

Is it safe to say that running android is almost a guarantee on this device? Since HP is discontinuing this product and there will be no security program to prevent running a droid on it?

^Yup there are hackers already working on it!

so what are my chances of getting a 16gb somehow?
dont feel like 32gb is necessary now

Still no updates from BB... wtf?

and seems like its confirmed that the only way to get them is thru HP and price adjustment on monday.

All these idiots on Craigslist posting them for a profit.

if my BB order gets cancelled im ordering from HP store i just hope they still have stock by then.

i really want a 16gb though lol seems like those are all gone and only 32gbs are left

after taxes from HP store for 32gb is 560$... i hope the price adjustment on monday goes all smooth
