    Looks like Palm aren't giving a price reduction. From what I have been told this is due to HP going back on what they initially said to Palm. HP told Palm that there would be a price reduction, and that Palm could communicate this to customers... but then HP decided to go back on its word. So if you have a complaint, you should probably address it to HP.

    I agree, on hp UK website you can contact the ceo, I have used this to complain about the handling of the pre3 situation.

    Not sure if it's going to help though bro... and I would imagine that they don't have a lot of Pre 3 stock to go around anyway... sucks :/ You can also contact the Managing Director of UK and Ireland here.

    I am considering doing the same, I have been searching frantically online for any news on being able to purchase the HP Pre 3 & I get stonewalled at every turn...HP uk store is a shambles at least I think it was seeing how I get redirected a few times over!!!

    Announcement expected.
    Then not expected.
    Then expected again.

    Then........................... nothing. Still no price drop and no concrete indication of when/if there will be one. But you can get cheap monthly contracts for the phone now.


    Sort of sums it up.

    HP Touchpad 16gb/32gb were reduced to £89 & £115 respectively due to the company pulling out of the hardware game & now it seems that the HP PRE 3 is being reduced to also £49 but its not showing up ANYWHERE for anyone to buy so far...
