laptops direct got back to me with the following:



Which doesn't really confirm but seems to suggest it's the 97 but, the page has now changed to show product as 'sold out' and is showing the Archos 70 instead.

Yes I saw that, top half of my order tracking now refers to the Cobalt 70 but the order details below still refer to Cobalt 97, I did send a contact asking to confirm which they will ship but not heard yet.. :undecided

The 97 from Debenhamsplus does seem to have been confirmed again on Hotukdeals within the last hour...

Debenhams Plus / Laptop Direct Archos Cobalt 97 tablet...

This has now gone cold.

Confirmed that they are only willing to ship the cheaper smaller Cobalt 70
and not the 97 as listed. (if you did want the Cobalt 70 it would even be cheaper in Currys anyway! not that anyone does want it)

Confirmed that Debenhams Plus and Laptops Direct (same company) are in a bit of a mess, their customer services were telling people earlier that they would get the better tablet and the mistake was listing the spec. of the lesser one, now they have done a U-turn.

They don't seem too clued up do they?

My latest email from DP says:

Thank you for your email dated 2 January.
The order description states you have purchased Archos Cobalt 97 - Archos 97 Cobalt 9.7" 8GB Android 4.1 JB ARM Cortex A9 HDMI 1yr.
I do apologise for any confusion caused.
Kind Regards

Have a look at Novatech: they have a range of tablets that might be worth a look.

Thanks but..
Of the 15 they seem to offer they all seem to be very pricey, Ebuyer.com far has better choice and prices.
