Well, why not? this is a community, after all.

Hey, anyone know anything about the Intel Labs, specifically the IXL program headed by Genevieve Bell (http://www.intc.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=484104&ReleasesType=Technology%20Leadership)?

Okay, now that I'm tinkering with the HP TouchPad, I'd like to tinker with the new HP Pre3 phone as well. Unfortunately, they're not selling them in the US. I guess they're available in Europe for about £49. Any Sporkers across the pond willing to pick one of these up for me?

What a journey.
B&N canceled my order.

They did that to a lot of people. Poor inventory control system.

CS, if you can point me to a site that's selling them for that price (and will actually ship), sure. I'll order a couple...

Excellent.
The Palm Store is supposed to have the pricing up "Real Soon Now":
http://eurostore.palm.com/epages/Store.sf/secWKzj7AA2uqg/?ObjectPath=/Shops/PalmStore/Products&ViewAction=Filter&CategoryID=73691610
Right now the product page shows this:
Quote
We have temporarily stopped taking orders against this SKU. A price reduction is expected to be announced in the next 18 to 24 hours. This price reduction will apply to a Pre 3 Bundle which will include a number of accessories. This is a limited time offer while stocks last. This page will be updated when products and price for the bundle is confirmed.
As long as that bundle is around 100 EUR or less, I'll take one. I suspect they will go very fast once they're posted.

Ah, had to click around a bit, eventually found this link:
http://eurostore.palm.com/epages/Store.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/PalmStore/Products/HP-FB437AA-ABU
It's a good find, I didn't dare to type in Palm.com these days as I assumed the name had fallen victim to HP's corporate marketing dept a long time ago. I'll try to keep an eye on it; under the price it says: " OUT OF STOCK! New bundle SKU and new pricing expected to be available here in the next 18-36 hours."
I'll keep an eye on things but I'm going to sleep for the next 7 hours.

Dang, according to this article, HP's Palm.com site will only unload the overstock in Germany & France.

From what I can see, the UK webstore (which is what you were looking at with the links you and I posted) will ship to Netherlands.

Or I can get you one in the UK! They are still showing the OUT OF STOCK message. The price currently listed is £299 though!

£299 was the original price. It should be somewhere between £49 and £99 once they get the bundled SKU online.

They've updated the message to "12 to 24 hours" instead of "18 to 24" or "18 to 36".

I absolutely want an unlocked Pre 3. Will pay £99 or so.

Couldn't find any for sale in Helsinki, and I won't be here long enough to get something shipped, sorry.

OK, I've setup a Watchmouse monitor on the Palm Pre webpage that checks the "OUT OF STOCK!" phrase on the page every 5 minutes. If it disappears, I'll get a text message on my phone and have a look if they'll ship to the Netherlands.
Ron, I'll post here if it's not possible to ship to NL.

Even if it is possible, you may as well both try to order. If you both manage to succeed, I can take more than one.

Hmm, site is down already. I swear, if HP had done this pricing from the start, they would have owned the market :-)
