  • i managed to pick one up yesterday in pc world after getting them to do their price promise. it did take 3 different pc worlds to finally get one to price promise as it seems to depend which store will compare with carphone warehouse. the manager didn't seem to excited about doing it but the sales people managed to track down stock within 30 miles so managed to get it for £38.49.
    if at first you don't succeed try try again:j

    I got it at currys in Witney (Oxfordshire) after a massive bunch of idiots including the manager were trying to convince me that the CPW round the corner didn't have any stock! I even ran up the road and back to ask CPW if the had stock to which they replied LOADS!! The currys staff were so rude to me! "well why don't you just go and buy it from them?" was the comment given by one member of staff as she ran away from me and started to talk to a new customer?! Absolute cheek of it! I asked a young lad very politely if he was busy and that I needed to speak to the manager. The manager came out and i made a complaint which she laughed off and she also tried to tell me there was no stock (and why didn't I just get it from CPW?!?!). I had to force her to actually click through on the item and then put their postcode into the stock search box on the description page to prove they DID he stock less than 100 yards away! Lol.

    This just proves once again how horrible and unhelpful the staff are in the Witney branch. I'll be glad when currys sinks like a sack of s##t and they're all learning to speak polish in the 99p shop!

    Good luck to the rest of you!

    I am fuming!
    I ordered 7am on Friday-had a confirmation email straight away. They took the money from my bank, just rang them only to be told its on back order!!! I asked for a refund and 25 mins later i am still holding waiting for them to issue a refund that can take up to 8 days to process!!! I am fffffFUMING! (and I've managed to lock the keyboard to ittalics and bold and cant get them off.) Argh!
    Btw- they are going to ring me back in 2-3 mins cus after 28 minutes of holding no-one is capable to issuing a refund!

    Yep, me too. Ordered just after 7am, had cancellation about 4pm, but they have still taken the money (despite stating payment isn't taken until dispatch). Impossible to actually get through to them by phone. Have emailed a complaint asking for immediate refund.
    now has her .com delivery but doesnt know where to put it :o

    even tho the main cpw website was saying out of stock i found some in stock at white rose leeds which is approx 18miles from me so went to currys and asked for price match. the man came back to me and said manager said it was too far so i said no it states on your site within 30 miles. i asked to see the manager and he came and changed his excuse to website says out of stock. i told him it was saying stock at white rose but he just kept repeating that website said out of stock. came out without 1 and i have emailed currys to complain about him. went to pc world and they were more civil and did ring white rose (i think) and came back and said that they had been told it was a computer error and there was none in stock.

  • i can't get the kobo nor kindle app to work on mine, but the aldiko app works fine.

    I can't even connect to my wifi with mine!

    Turn wifi on, finds networks, search my network, type the first letter of my network key and get thrown straight out of the page and back to the main desktop screen!

    I did a firmware update which gives it the newest firmware, but still have the same problem?

    Anyone else had an issue?
  • no....no problem with mine, internet connection straight away, i've been using it all day and have even transferred my ebooks from main lap top onto it and have installed skygo...i think its a great bit of kit for the money.....
    ADOPT DONT SHOP......🐕🐕🐕🐕
