Stupid Xoom - Xoom General

My thumbs are getting sore from using it too much.
Really happy with my purchase and really looking forward to flash and the active SD card.

I wish I could buy one for my wife as well, because keeps taking it and playing Fruit Ninja for hours on end. I swear, she uses it more than I do.

Sd card will be huge for me, I'll be buying a 32gb and just filling it with music.

My wife owns the Xoom now. She was very impressed by it and was excited to get it. I want a better screen but if no good contenders present themselves, I may pick up the Wifi only version.
I like it a lot more since she owns it and not me.

Wish I could trade my wife to a girlfriend so my xoom will not be interfering my personal life

Hehe, my wife already hates my phone, wonder how much more she'll hate the Xoom when I get it.

The Xoom should come with a Surgeon General's Warning: "Using the Xoom will incur constant bickering from your wife."

So SDCARd = Custom Roms?

I've been debating on the transformer or the Xoom....
now that the Xoom has SD access, will custom roms be next? Or is something still missing?
Yes, AFAIK still HC missing source code, although bits are starting to come out.
ugh I guess ill keep waiting...
Why wait once source gets released I'm sure the xoom will be the more worked on device
Who knows, alot of people were saying they were returning their Xooms

And a lot aren't
But the Transformer needs the source code as much as the Xoom does... so... it depends which one sells more and the Xoom has a head start.

Most if not all of the people returning the Xoom for a Transformer are doing so because of such minor issues, which will be resolved soon anyway. Getting the Transformer for the keyboard dock is stupid IMO. Congrats, you just bought a very expensive netbook.

Or you know.. Because it has a significantly better screen. Oh and wait, it's cheaper than the Xoom with a keyboard! Even if you don't use the keyboard, you still have it. Unless I'm mistaken and it doesn't come with the keyboard, because I have been not caring about the thing at all lol.

Mainly the SD card not working. But also things like the UI lags, there aren't enough apps, its heavy (I know, not fixable). Crap like that.
And the keyboard for the Transformer is $150 I believe.
People choose Transformer because it has better IPS screen and cheaper, and that's important.

Hmm. I'm not trying to be dense here but for me at least, the IPS screen is not better. Going by the iPad screen anyway, for reading it's not that great, and that's a major part of what I'll be doing with the Xoom.

This is simply a lie coming from someone who owned both and now only Xoom. I pad screen is better at everything. Its brighter AND crisper so how can't u read?
Well, no it's not a lie. Thanks for calling me a liar though.
I've read on the iPad and it was OK but not brilliant, the letters just don't "pop" like they do in a book or ereader. I haven't seen a Xoom yet but I've been led to believe by reviews that it's better for reading than the iPad.
My opinion: the ipad is too bright, even when its toned down. Especially if your in bed at night try to not wake up the person next to you or land air planes on your bed.

Shipped my TF101 for RMA today. I miss it already.

I figured you guys would appreciate how I feel. I feel sad. No tablet to play with. It is amazing how quickly I grew dependent on it. Now I have no tablet. My wife thinks its ridiculous to feel sad over sending a tablet in for RMA service.
But I never left the house with it. Or went to work without it. Etc.
It sucks...And I am sure Asus will take their time. So I figure with Xmas and new years, I wont see it till next month.
You can do something like this guy to ease your addiction.
I need to send mine in but idk if the older methods of unrooting work?

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."
