    I think this was just a glitch though. I reserved one in store from Argos earlier in the week and couldn't pick it up on the day I was supposed to, but they were happy to hold it a further day for me when contacted. Which they certainly had no obligation to do. So overall I'm pretty pleased about my recent Argos experiences.

    Im very pleased for you.
  • I didn't expect my Argos order to go thru so not too bothered. Hopefully some more stock will filter thru.

    I think I deserve an A+ for effort. After having missed the tablet opportunites all week, I got back from the pub last night to a friend's house and thought I'd check MSE before turning in - and subsequently spent 45 minutes trying to purchase one from Argos using my touch-screen phone - the slow 2G net connection, my having consumed several pints, and my ropey eyesight (the main reason why I want a tablet!) made this an epic process. I finally got confirmation at 1.45am - still awaiting the cancellation email today.

    I bet it was someone in their IT dept having a laugh - at our expense!
    Or some frausters getting hold of your details ? LMFAO
    Everybody just wants one because they are vastly reduced. I Don't I repeat I DON'T WANT ONE OF THESE. I would rather save the money for an iphone 5

    Not everybody, and some may want one because its reduced so what. Maybe some people wanted one but couldnt afford one but theb found the price at dropped. Some people also wanted one or more to just make money. Some one on ebay has sold over 20-30 of touchpad at over £180 for 16gb

    Then I wonder why you spending time reading and replying to this thread?! Too bl**dy right i want one now they're reduced. I personally think £400 for ipad, iphones etc is over-priced and a complete waste of my hard earnt cash. Thats not to say that i don't have a deep appreciation for the technology. I may be skint, but it doesn't change the geek within!
    November wins...a book, a designer handbag (worth £550 :T) and a game. I am now an addict and thank everyone for taking the time to share and post. :D

    Just picked my 32GB up from JL store after buying online yesterday.

    Waiting for the kids to have tea then go to bed before I have a play with it.
