Hi Tomtom 720 available here.
for £150 through Amazon via Pixmania from France
What are the drawbacks buying from Pixmania from France?
Semms too good to be true?

Hi, I think if you check the link again the product comes from Pixmania Uk who are part of DSG (Dixons) as is the French company |

Still £150 after they have been trying to sell this item at around £180 to £199 for the last few weeks makes you wonder why the sudden price drop again. Do they know something about the new 730 that we don't?
When are the rest of the retailers going to follow suit? |

I don't know if you meant without delivery or not...
But it's now telling me it is only:
£139.99
Now that is SILLY SILLY CHEAP for a Go 720, even if sourced via France.
I paid nearly £100 more than that just a mere two month ago, at the then very cheapest retailer possible. |

MODS...
- Can we edit the title to reflect the new price, and maybe even consider Front Paging this silly price offer, as it's sure to be finished by tomorrow...? |

Just a quick word of caution though, the x30 units shipping via Pixmania France have been pre-installed with the Euro voices, no UK voices for the excellent Text To Speech.
This problem shouldn't be as larger problem though for the 720 but you might have some messing around removing/ replacing folders and files on any device purchased this way - Mike |

Looks like they have realised their mistake. It's back up to £189 this morning but I don't feel to bad, paid £175 delivered for mine from Halfords.com in January |

Got an email confirming my order has been cancelled too
Sent them a snotty email, but not holding my breath for a positive outcome.
Did anybody manage to get one?
If nobody did get one are they not in breach of any trading law, buy advertising a product at a price that they are not willing to sell it for? _________________ HTC Desire S - Vodafone

Did you grab a screen image at the time of ordering showing the device was in stock? - I usually keep pictures like this for a week or two with any internet based transaction - Mike |

Mike, no screen shots I'm afraid, just looked through both emails I got, 1 from amazon & 1 from Pixmania, no reference to what stock levels. No reference to not having any though.
Just recived a reply from Pixmania as to what the problem was
"Dear Stuart,
Thank you for your interest in Pixmania,
It has come to our attention that there has been a slight reference problem between Amazon and Pixmania, which has caused us to register your order incorrectly.
Instead of the order being for the TomTom Go 720, your order has been completed with the TomTom Go V3 Europe with Traffic information.
We have changed these details on the Amazon website.
As a good will gesture we can offer you free standard delivery (up to £9.) on a future order with Pixmania. Once you have placed your new order, please send us the Pixmania order number (CCL………) and we will be able to refund the delivery charge to your account.
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience and if you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Team Pixmania "
Surely if they are admitting an error they are obliged to deliver, seeing as I (and others) paid in good faith ?
