    Update will be at 10am Friday so everyone wait online then...

    My SE W810i is an amazing brick phone...but it is getting old! Think I have had it 4 years this Christmas and has been in the toilet 3 times, in the bath twice, in a glass a couple of times, dropped over 100...and still works.

    Dont hold your breath as I work for HP & cannot buy the phone from HP as they do not sell the phone direct you have to go through a 3rd party so good luck but I would not waste my time to be honest.

    Unlike the touchpad which was already on sale, this has not yet officially been released on sale - no networks are taking it (so that means none of the network shops will have it in) and no-one will have any in stock so its far from clear where, whether and when it will be on sale. There are some rumours that it will only be sold as a bundle with accessories, - best bet at the moment is to wait until the HP announcement on the Palm website on Friday.

    is it even worth buying one? - as there will be no apps, updates and you not going to be able to repair it.
    Only chance is getting Anroid if it's possible. :eek:

    Can anyone post link for palm website?

    Thanks

    Android developers will be merrily working out a way to port a version of android to this device. Already they are working on the Touchpad... and I am running a fully functional HD2 Windows mobile 6.5 phone that now has gingerbread and is the best phone I have ever used - because of its versatility.
