There is a version coming out for Sprint. Engadget had an article on it earlier in the day, Xoom with a Sprint logo on it. There's also a WiFi only version releasing in April.

Yes, their are really 3 different versions.
WiFi Only - self explanitory
CDMA - Verizon + LTE, (Soon to be Sprint + WiMax)
GSM - Various carriers Europe, Canada, ect. HSPA Max speed~10Mbps down and ~6Mbps up
On a side note the GSM version of the XOOM does have the necessary frequencies for AT&T HSPA. I have not found any indication that that XOOM will come to AT&T, but you could in theory buy one unlocked and put a sim card in. I did email store.motorola.com to ask about buying an unlocked GSM/HSPA XOOM so I could use it with my existing AT&T account and got the following response.
Dear Customer,
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail and I’m ready to help.
I do apologize but we currently do not have any available information regarding the release date of the GSM version of the Motorola XOOM in the United States. I'm so sorry for that inconvenience.

Will the GSM/HSPA version of the XOOM be available for purchase from store.motorola.com for USA residents. I would like to buy one with out a contract and I don't want or have Verizon service. I currently have a Verizon CDMA XOOM with no service and plan on getting the wifi only XOOM when it comes out, but I would really like to get an unlocked GSM/HSPA XOOM. The CDMA/Verizon XOOM is not international friendly for business men like myself. I would be willing to pay full price $799.99 for a GSM/HSPA XOOM. I have no need for 4G LTE as it will not be fully deployed for a couple of years, and by then new devices will be on the market.

Does anyone know whether the 3G modem in the Xoom sold in the US uses a SIM? I can purchase one in the US with no contract & intend to use it in Australia with a local carrier's SIM.
However I can't work out whether it's SIM based?
The Xoom on Verizon cannot be used in Australia, as it is a CDMA device. The Wi-Fi Xoom presumably can, however.
(A compatible UMTS Xoom will be released somewhere soon, however)
I just read this. May be the news you're looking for.

If its delayed you still have hope with the AT&T flavor, just passed by the FCC offices.

Thanks all, May is just around the corner, we have a corporate account with Telstra so I'll try & nab one as soon as they hit!
Saves a lot of stuffing around!
I think its unbelivable that here, in Europe, Motorola hasnt released yet update for our Xoom.
In USA its available 3.2, Acer released 3.1 weeks ago and My xoom still 3.0.1...
Please Euro developers make a rom 3.2 for 3g Euro Xoom

I can't help you with rom, but lets get the facts straight. Motorola has not released anything. The US Motorola Xoom is a Google Experience Device and Google has released the updates for it, they come directly from Google servers.
I would love a tablet with 3G, the only problem is that the US 3G Xoom isn't compatible with our networks here in Europe and that's why i have a WIFI only bought from US. I have looked at all 3G tablets in Europe and the only reason why i haven't bought one yet is that i don't want to wait for updates. Not one manufacturer is good at delivering updates... So i guess i have to wait for the next GED and hope it's compatible with our 3G networks.

Does anyone know a reliable source anywhere I can buy the 64GB or even 32GB version of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with both 3G and WiFi? (I've recently been scammed by a company in China offering a 64GB version)
As far as I know, the 64GB in either Wi-Fi or 3G doesn't exist yet. UK resellers just started to receive the 32GB 3G model on Friday (9/30). The arrival date for the 64GB model is supposed to be mid-October. Both have been delayed repeatedly. My 32GB 3G is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday.

Can you tell me what store you ordered your 32GB 3G and for how much?

32GB 3G is available in Singapore for past 2 weeks .. I'm waiting for the 64GB if it ever comes.
This flash memory is installed to the board, isn't it? Maybe the flash storage can be changed by opening the device?

I got mine from a B2B reseller that doesn't sell to the public through a work connection. Clove is supposed to get their first shipment in this Friday and they're easy to deal with for U.S. shipments. It's 500 GBP delivered via DHL 2-day.

Do either the 64 or 32GB versions hold SIM cards?

They both do/will. The Wi-Fi version of the 32GB has been available since launch. The 64GB hasn't been available in either 3G or Wi-Fi. The 3G 32GB is rolling out in the UK this week and the 64GB in both Wi-Fi and 3G is supposedly going to be available in "mid-October." T-Mobile U.S. is releasing a 16GB version that runs on their AWS HSPA+ network on 10/26. I don't know if it'll support AT&T's bands and off-contract it probably won't be any cheaper than importing an unlocked one from the UK. And as those using a VZW Tab have seen, being dependent on a carrier for updates sucks. All of this info is for the EU/UK where Samsung sells direct to consumer. Who knows what their plans are for the U.S. Additionally, Samsung won't sell unlocked 3G/4G devices in the U.S. because of their relationships with the U.S. carriers.

P.S. - Someone's posted different availibility in Singapore. That doesn't do the rest of the world any good as it's impossible to export one from there.

Yes they do, I have had my 32gb 3G tab 10.1 for 2 months now here in South Africa.
On my second tab, as after a month I had the dreaded newton rings which Samsung promptly exchanged and gave me a new one.
Singapore just released the 3G version of the 64GB yesterday .. snag myself a set !
According to Google, the LTE model will not be available until sometime "later this year".

Bummer!
I am also sad that it doesn't include wireless charging. I guess will be holding onto my Nexus 7 for a little while longer.
Oh, this upsets me I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with mobile data right now. Was considering the update.
When i heard that O2 and Three (both mobile providers) were going to be among the first shops in the UK to start selling it I assumed it would be a LTE/4g/3g version.
Overall I am happy with my 2013 Nexus 7, but the Nexus 9 seems to have a more premium look to it. 4:3 aspect ratio should be better for reading to.
What SIM size does the LTE version use? Micro? Mini? I don't see it in the spec.
Hmm... should I get N9 LTE for $599 or Shield Tablet LTE for $399? I use Parallel Access with my iPad and 10" is a bliss, but too big to carry and use while commuting.
On Amazon £469
I've pre-ordered a 4g Nexus 9 from Amazon UK for £469 where it states delivery will be 3 November.
I have seen other press reports stating that the 4g version will not be available until later this year and hopefully this is incorrect!

Here you go!!
Best Buy has the LTE version available right now to Pre-order.

India will be getting LTE version within november. So have hope.
Anyone know what colors the LTE version will be available in?

Black only.
Sand for example will be available only as a 32gb variant (no 16gb at all).
Sadly I was looking for the sand or white LTE version and now will go for the 32gb sand when it becomes available.
I was sorely tempted to get the LTE/4G version given that Three do a very nice 10gig data contract for £15 a month, but given the hold up that the 4G version had with 4.4.4, I am disinclined to go that route. It sounds daft but part of why I go Nexus is because they get updates right away. The only other route would be a customs ROM but then there is the issus with some apps not working due to "security" etc etc.
If anyone has info to the contrary I will gladly spring for a 4G version mind.
Dammit, how come Amazon US doesn't have the LTE version for pre-order?!
Sprint LTE?
Gents,
I use Sprint. I would like the LTE model but I am not paying T-mo for a data plan.
any of you cats think Sprint will have an LTE version? Will there even *be* an LTE version other than T-mo?

Question. Can I change the APN and use ATT? I have unlimited data for iPad and it would be sweet justice to use it on NeXus 9. Wondering about SIM size as well.
I'd bet it's a nano-SIM. You could cut that older AT&T SIM and then use an adapter to swap it back and forth. Not sure about APN or compatibility, though?
So you've been paying AT&T all this time, $30/month for that unlimited plan on your iPad? Wow. I got sick of paying it just to keep the grandfathered status. I sold mine a few years ago to a very eager buyer for $750, and never looked back. I did get $40 from the class action settlement though. Damn bait-and-switchers... AT&T sucks.
Man... Google need to get their crap together when it comes to announcing new product AND having it available. Apple announced iPhone 6, 6+ and new iPads and they are all available to purchase very soon afterwards. Why can't Google just do the same: announce the new products, THEN have ALL models available within a week.
Oh wait... considering they FORGOT to get the FCC certification for the Nexus Player after announcing it... LMFAO

What does it mean by the "T-Mobile version"? I thought all Nexus devices are the same, regardless of the carrier:
- No crapware
- Not locked
I did place the order. So if it turns out to have both of the above, especially the locked version, I can always cancel.
