Interesting. I thought it was a £107 listed as £7 (or so my mum says).
And she also said they HAVE to give it to you too ('twas on the news).
Go complain or something.

Surely if you bought it and everything then it's yours. Did they take your money?
Yeh kill 'em and stuff

He has a point, if you have proof of the purchase at that price then they may have to give it to you. Check through the terms and conditions and contact watchdog.
You might get something out of it :-)

There were 2. One was £200 reduced to £7 but the other was £500 down to £23. I figured I could go the extra 16 quid for a top of the range one so I bought it.
Problem is Amazon dont take the money out of your account until the goods are dispatched, so in their opinion I dont have a contract with them.
Bah, I got the email confirmation and everything. I was even making a little Ipaq space on my desk...

They're in the wrong
They may have made the mistake, but they don't have to sell it to you at that price. Long established that price lables etc amount to an offer to treat, you make the actual formal offer when you drop the item into your shopping kart and checkout. It is then open to Amazon to agree or reject your offer.
However, things like these are sometimes fulfilled as a PR exercise, but there is no legal obligation to. Your only hope is that the automated response amounts to an acceptance from Amazon, this will depend on its wording. I probably have such an e-mail from Amazon here regarding a standard order (it'll be the same seeing these things are automated), but I don't even have to look at it to tell you it won't amount to an acceptance. Amazon are big enough and ugly enough to know how to do these sort of things.
