Come on! Don't give us half a story!! What is happening then?? Most of us here assume that they are going onto cheap contracts instead. And we know the Touch is having another run but into the US only.

Many of the ones destined for the UK are for HPUK employees they were entitled to one per person


Those that do find their way to suppliers will have the price regulated by the supplier

Vodafone are a larger user of HP kit and HP mobile telephony is via Vodafone so hence the tie up

I have just placed an order with e2save... if all goes well in regards to cashback then that's just under £100 over the period of the contract... didn't really want to take out a contract but oh well

Which contract did you order? I know it's a risk but i'm almost on the verge of doing similar....

£7.13 per month (after cashback). No data though, but I'll be using my existing contracts SIM so it's ok.

If you take this phone on a contract does that mean that if it goes wrong they have to repair it or supply another phone?

I'd imagine it would have a warranty from HP, yes. If your handset was beyond repair I'm not sure what they'd do... especially when there's no stock of the handset left.

It's an interesting thought when they are actually selling a mobile contract package supplying a phone that is already discontinued, as one could always argue that you were not aware that it was a discontinued phone.
