Archos 704 WiFi at Argos... half price

[ChimpMaster]

Normally £330 but Argos are doing a promotion for half price only on that model. Plus you get a £10 voucher back so the cost comes to £155!

Granted it's the 40Gb version but that's plenty for me.

I've got mine today - only 1 store local to me has them in stock and luckily I got hold of it!

Just thought I'd let you all know in case you want one.

What's the internet browsing experience like? I have a Nokia N800 which has a great screen and 800x400 resolution so it displays web pages at full width.

It has 2 modes I think - a full screen mode which compacts the page into view, and then you zoom in on the areas you want to read. Or it has a full view which displays the page in full size and you scroll around using the touch screen.

Yes it's bigger than some PMPs but I always carry a briefcase to work and plus it's a good size for the kids when we go on long car journeys.

Its probably out of stock because thats the old model.

Yeah I looked into this before but there's hardly any difference plus the 705 can't be had for anywhere near £155. Actually on the 705 you have to pay for the Opera web browser to be able to surf

I checked all 10 stores close to me, they're are all out of stock.

Is it only available in store, or can it be ordered online? They pulled a similar stunt recently with some PAYG Nokia phones, which was a tad annoying as the nephew wanted one for his birthday and I don't do visiting shops.

On Sunday morning they had stock for delivery but by the arvo, when I went to order, it was out of stock. I think word got around very quick on some forums and people just snapped it up.

I gto mine from Hayes, West London... they still have stock if you can get there to pick it up. Wasn't my closest store but not too far to save a few squid.
