No you've got it all wrong. You have one of those special 3D display Xooms.
Be happy!

That sucks. Hopefully they have plenty to exchange it.

Ouch! $800 worth of fail!

Ishhh... unlucky man... I hope you are alone for that.

I came home, setup a nice comfy spot on the couch with a cup of coffee and proceeded to mf everything in the house including my poor dog.

How nice of you but I can hear your chuckle

Actually, I really feel bad for you. You spent all of that money and got a brick.
What sucks worse is they might not have any more at the store. There's a guy over at xoomforums.com that has a dead pixel. He took it back to BBY and they had no more to replace it.

At the very least, you can return it for cash and try one of the other places selling them. I can't imagine that your entire city is completely out of stock.
But yeah, that sucks.

I can't scream it loudly enough. Everyone that wants the Xoom for $600 right now just buy it directly from the Motorola web site. I bought mine from Costco also, but when I tried the Chad Ocho Cinco coupon code on the Motorola Web site it gave me 25% off the Xoom and all accessories!
I have to pass along this great experience so that everyone else can take advantage of it.

can you be more specific about the coupon?

Just use coupon code OCNNSB25 at checkout and you will get 25% off the no contract price of 799 which will make it $599 plus tax. 2 day shipping is free. Just do it if you want it. Why asks why....

thanks a bunch. The xoom order page for motorola is down right now- the price isn't showing up for me. It was working like 15 minutes ago.
I wonder if i should order now or wait for the ipad 2 anouncement next week. It would suck if the code expires...do you know when this expires?

woohoo $200 in my pocket. And I just came back from costco with my new working xoom.

Appearently they doubled my order, and just forgot to give me the other half. I called and they said they can NOT cancel it and it has not been shipped. But they need to see if in the next week or two it gets shipped before I can send them back to them and get a credit.
Anyone hear or have this happen to you? Or am I just lucky?
That's one hefty bill..
Woah, that's a lot of evo's! You should make them ship the other two then sell them on ebay for a profit.

I was going to if they sent them to me. That was in my original post, but I took it out cause, I dunno why...
You do realize to keep the other two at that price you'd have to activate them and do a 2 year contract. Are they letting you short pay the bill and not pay the portion of the bill that has those 2 extra evos?
Edit: Btw I see one problem with your bill. Where is your insurance? No way I'd get these phones without insurance. They're $450 off of contract.
@Donatom3 Finders keepers! I know that will be mad, but what about me? I have to deal with all of this and pay for it all up front to avoid late charges, and clearly the error is on their side, should I get something for my 2 hours on the phone and $700 loan to them?

Well if it was me, I would have let the phone rep know that I'm paying the bill minus the two extra phones, since I have not received anything I am not paying for it. I'm sure someone over there will understand and let you short pay the bill.
About a week and 5 hours on the phone later, still is an open issue. The Customer Service Department is awesome, the Orders and Warehouse people are not helping at all. They said the order is still pending and they cant track the extra phones so until they turn up I'm getting billed.
I feel like I'm with the Death Star all over again! Come on Sprint! You're better than this.
Dude have you spoken to a manager? Im sure if you talk to one things might go smoother, get names, employee ID numbers, follow up with this information and if a rep can't help resolve the issue, get a manager, if the manager don't help go higher up.

That is really cool but it's up to $32.00 + $7.00 shipping now with 14 bids and 3 days 7 hours left to go!
I would love to have one but for a battery cover that's to pricey for me
gadget!
Only an idiot would pay that price for a real red back.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using Tapatalk
now it's up to $63.37 with 22 bids!

That is ridiculous
It's certainly not...around $50 for a rare pre-production accessory on a popular phone? Sounds reasonable to me...
It's all about personal preference, it is rare, it should be kept and not used due to rarity, now, if your looking for just the red back door, take yours off, and paint it.
I'd pay $50 for the door, and use it!
Sold for over $100... lol
Wow I got mine for $19.95
Uh...where?
Well I got it (not the one from ebay, but he had another I made a separate deal for), and it was totally worth it:

G-Tab 16GB Wi-Fi for $349 at Walmart (YMMV)

Walmart's substituting the G-Tab for the Acer Iconia where they are out of stock. If you live near a Walmart it might be worth it to check it out.

I got mine with the 100 dollar staples coupon, so 400 wasn't that bad...
On another note, that's a hell of a consolation prize, would any one want an Acer Iconia over a G-Tab?
Price matched Blackberry Playbook for $199 at Walmart. Then returned it for Galaxy Tab + $12 gift card

OK, just to make you all feel better, I paid $750 for my 32GB 3G UK Tab. I'm also only paying $20 for unlimited data and MMS so I'm recouping some of what I paid with each month that passes. The good news is when I go to sell it I can list it on eBay in the UK and get much more for it than I would here in the U.S.

30 Backflips fro $490 on ebay.

So I was looking up on ebay to see how much my phone's worth now and I found a great bulk deal!

30 Motorola Backflips. bid's at $490 now. ends tomorrow (4/23) at 3:33 EST.
since it comes out to roughly $16 each, you could either sell them for like $30-50 to teenagers (that'd be my choice) or whatever you want with them.
It has CM7 support, so it's not COMPLETELY useless...

ill yours off for 20
thanks but no thanks.
holding out til August when i switch to an individual phone plan and get whatever great at&t phone's out (SGS3 most likely)
Keep in mind the seller warns you that some phones may not work and are untested. So it could be a hit or miss..
Why would you buy such an old phone, let alone 30 of them? This was a terrible, terrible phone.
Really what hes selling them for is what theyre worth. Motorola had tons of phones that where complete failures. This was one.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I had this phone 3 times. Not bad used it as a backup backup backup phone. Cm7 was reliable but i just liked it for the form factor. Pretty much was a FFC phone before its time.
Sucks for who ever ended up buying/bidding $1080.. $36 bucks on phones that might not even work.
Jesus Christ they sell for so little each. Look at these bids: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-Ba...ps=63&clkid=7935913998055563961#ht_500wt_1156
They still sell these in Australia for $400 minimum. God I need to eBay more!
^don't. just don't... even an Optimus One is better
They obviously have value somewhere. Doubt someone would have paid that much for the hell of it.
I thought I was going to pay $490 to see someone perform 30 back flips consecutively.
You can easily sale a BACKFLIP for $100 they will make their money back plus more.

Even if only 5 worked you'd make your money back and pocket 10. You could drop test them shoot them flush them down the toilet for gods sake. Haha

i thought it was literally ... backflips.

In$anely looking for Moto X Turquoise with Metallic Yellow accent.

Since I look everyday in all webs (eBay, Swappa, etc.) and nothing. I'm deeply wishing if someone reads this, come with an offer. I really like this color combination but the few times I've seen someone selling it, it has been selled before I could buy it.
Help me on this please. I wish those sites could have some kind of "Looking for" section so I can leave there what I need and people answer me there.
Anyway, I have the budget... just PM me if you have one.
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just wait for the next promo on Monday 12/9 and get $150 off you could get a 16GB for 350 which is cheaper than buying it used. Plus you can get exactly what you want.

Guys the thing is I can't use any of those carriers since I live in Cuba. That's why I look for them in sites like Swappa or eBay. I just want it, unlock it, and then use it here.
Saddly Motomaker isn't for unlocked devices... or not?
Any other option?
Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that the T-Mobile device is unlocked.

I don't think they are unlocked... but thanks to you I digged into that, designed my own Moto X and then, at the end, I selected T-Mobile... just to see the great surprise of "No Contract". That's awesome man. I'll pay for it and if it's locked, I'll just pay for a simunlock code and that's it.
I hope this serves as a good info for those like me who can't use those carriers and wish to design their Moto X
Thanks a lot... once again XDA saved my day.
May everyone have king regards.

I'll wait for that day and buy a 32GB in just 400 USD. Thanks for the tip, it'll be a huge deal.
