Light blue where I live.
Dark blue where I work, but to gain access to the store I have to enable wireless. |

Vodafone claim the same as O2,
Slow where I live, fast where I work. Still nada. Oh and amazon.co.uk's help pages: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/cust...04420#coverage links to: http://client0.cellmaps.com/viewer.html?cov=2&view=intl Which is obviously the same as the O2 map linked above. Oh and it looks like they've discontinued it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ls_o05_s00_i01 Last edited by Akirainblack; 09-11-2012 at 12:40 PM. Reason: Found the direct link from Amazon. |

"Currently Unavailable" probably just means "out of stock". It's happened before.

The reason I doubt they're discontinued is that the Touch is still being sold in all the Kindle stores outside the US. I may of course be wrong - time will tell .

@HarryT: The Touch 3G has disappeared from Amazon.fr, and seems to be out-of-stock/unreachable in other localized KS. (But the wifi version, yup, still there & in stock).

Here's where to buy them in Germany
Here's a link for those of you in Germany (or all of EU?) who want to buy one:
http://www.mexxbooks.de/ereader-buch...preisgestutzt/ It's not totally clear from the description, but since there is no mention of SO, the devices are likely to be regular (non-SO) ones. I had bought my current Kindle Touch (with SO, and that was clearly stated) from Mexxbooks in November 2011 without much trouble (except for a rather long wait for it to be shipped because of capacity issues), so I personally recommend them. And the prices are fair. There are no strings attached, except that you agree that they may send you a weekly newsletter for the duration of one year (though I never received one ). This is not a huge company, but rather a bunch of enthusiasts, so I don't know how well they can cater for non-german speaking folks, or whether they ship to other countries. It's probably easiest to just send them an e-mail and ask. Edit: Note that the offer is currently limited until tomorrow, September 15 (or as long as "supplies" last, whichever comes first).
