Some poor sod was 15 minutes late collecting his reserved one and they let me have it!

All the stores in the NW are selling the 2g surf for the same price as the 4g with webcam, which makes little sense, both are priced at £199.99. All of the 4g stock appears to be black whilst the 2g units are white. As usual PC World staff were unware of the differences, I reserved two 4g for collection at my local store and they went and reseverd 2g surf's instead, thankfully the sales assistant found the last two 4g's in stock and sold them to me.

Our local Toys R Us is a few doors down from PC World and is probably a better bet, they have the 4GB version for just £20 more. Its the 2GB version by the looks of it.

Well I am very disappointed, it is the usual PC World mess and incompetence: 1. The product is not on display. 2. You're not allowed to look at it. 3. You can't even see the box. 4. After I spent a good 10 minutes discussing with a sales assistant, he eventually and reluctantly agreed to go to storage to check the box: the one they sell is the basic model (2G, no webcam) for £200. Although I really want one, I didn't buy it because I want the one with 4G and webcam (+ I would prefer black). With some patience, you can get double the memory, an integrated webcam and the color you want for only £20 more! HTH F. As soon as I read this I ran to my nearest PC World (in Fulham, London).
