Just ordered one. Paid via PAYPAL, received emails (Payment being processed), had to take 1-3 day delivery option. Fingers crossed. Will keep posted.

did u order thru BT or dabs? I ordered thru BT bout 2pm today, says despatched on my account but no confirmation or despatch email of any sort. I paid extra for delivery tmrw and the ££ has been taken frm my account.

Have u by any chance got telephone/contact number for BT? I thought there was no way of contacting them unless if its thru email.

i ordered yesterday and when i checked my account yesterday it showed as dispatched. It was only about 4.30 tpday that i got the dispacthed email. i ordered another one today and it says dispatched, but no dispatch email as of yet.

I think once payment has cleared it automatically goes to dispatched, even if it hasnt if you see what i mean.

Chuzzwuzzer, as far as I know it has always been a celeron processor, not core 2 duo. I asked for advice on the Techie Board about it:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1234827 (ignore the bit about the warranty, that was when the without warranty option wasn't available).
Like a previous poster, my card was declined for this transaction (suspected fraudulent activity according to my bank???), I re-entered another card and now my order is showing as despatched, so fingers crossed. My email is down though at the mo, so can't check the dispatch email or track the parcel.

my card also got declined at the first attempt. I had to ring up my bank, went through all these security questions before telling me they thought it was a fraudulent transaction.

Weird as it says here: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF06b/321957-321957-64295-89315-89315-3442856-3782771.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_UKEN
that it is core 2 duo

I think there are different models, with different processors:

The BTShop/Dabs versions have the Celeron processor, as far as I am aware.

Well, it nearly worked... finally got my despatch email. Unfortunately it's coming by DHL which means from past experience I might have it by Xmas and will probably have to drive 50 miles to a depot to pick it up. :rolleyes:
