Just got my X7501 from CompUSA on saturday. This thing is very cool. I'm going to use it everyday for the next week as a laptop replacement as I will be traveling on vacation from Florida to Minnesota and back for the holidays. I will be able to give it a good workout. I will be bringing my Tilt as back up though.
As a side note to anyone thinking about getting one of these, CompUsa is going out of business and everything is marked down 20 or more percent. That's why I went ahead and got the X7501. $719.99 plus tax.

Is this true for all compusa stores ?
If it is, I'm going out tomorrow to buy one !
AFAIK theye are going out of business nation wide, or at least thats what the guy there said to me. Here's the catch, no returns no refunds. The store here had 6-7 left and our sales tax is 7 percent so if anyone needs one let me know.
Figures, I bought mine full-fare at CompUsa 2 months ago. $950 including tax. Glad I didn't buy the extended warranty they were trying to shove down my throat.
Well, I got mine from CompUSA in August and did get the extended warranty. However, they have already posted what to do if you need the warranty after December and it appears to be insured and OK. I was sweating for a few weeks, though.

You should always speak to a manager. I was at a cusa one day last week and discussed the x7501. He was willing to match the Amazon price last Sept and would sell the tap plan for half off at that time. So attempt to negotiate. The deal last week was 20% off ($719)and he would add the tap for $100. I'm waiting for the 30% off deal, still had 4 on hand one being a demo. I'm planning to score the demo at 30-40% off unless someone else gets it. He said that he could likely make the next markdown by the end of this week. Good luck to all who score one before they are gone. This is one time where I'd likely take the tap plan just for screen and hd replacement.
I got mine yesterday in Delaware for $629. They have 2 left plus the Demo.
i ordered mine from mobileplanet.com for $629 at the beginning of the month...
Just placed my order through premier earlier and then got an email 3.5 hours later saying that they are backordered...
I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet from an order I placed about four hours ago, but the Premier website shows that I have an order in progress (with no details).
Man, that didn't take long!
Yep I just heard they are out. I don't have an ETA when at&t will get more but I will post something as soon as I hear it.
I got the last one from my local ATT store, but they only had 3 total.
I got one from an AT&T store and they said they had plenty left, I guess it just depends what area you're in...

When I showed up to get mine Sunday they hadn't even put it out yet. Lol
Yeah, I was the only one so far to buy it from the RadioShack I work at, they have quite a few in the back (they haven't even made a dummy phone available for the store).
Mine is still back-ordered
Same here. I've also been trying to call the premier number and haven't been able to get through to talk to anyone. I just want an approximate date...
I got through (took about 30 minutes). They said that it would either ship the end of this week or beginning of next. I cancelled my order -- maybe I'll get the nexus one instead, and risk the wrath of my wife.
What do y'alls think? I like the small form factor of the aria, and the price is right, but ... nexus one!
i ordered mine within 30 minutes of it going on sale saturday night.. and mine was backordered...
could try Best buy... got mine from them for $130 with no need to bother with rebates

or amazon, newegg, dell, or tigerdirect. all of which have it cheaper unless you have a really good FAN discount
Yeah Newegg (Simplexity) is best price around, no FAN req'd. Ordered Sunday night, receiving 2 Arias in the mail Wednesday.
If you want to pick it up in person and actually want to PAY for the phone, go to Costco. Best in-store price, better than Best Buy.
newegg and letstalk.com both have the Aria for free right now
Just an update:
I was finally able to get through to premier yesterday, all of the other times I tried it just said to try again later. The person I talked to said that it was too late to cancel the order.
Today, I just got an email saying that my phone has shipped. Now, it's time to wait for the fedex man to arrive @ my house...
I had ordered one for my wife through premier store on monday night and it came as back ordered too. I canceled and went to my local store where they then gave it to me for $229 and $100 in free accessories. The premier store wanted $318.99... I'm glad it was on back order or I would have paid the $318.99 amount. Its no nexus, but it sure holds its own. And, apps that aren't in the app store can be installed via bump. We put shapewriter on hers last night from my nexus and it worked perfectly (shapewriter is not in app store).
Mine finally shipped...just in time for the weekend and I doubt they sprung for Saturday delivery. So tomorrow I am going to call the FedEx depot and beg for them to let me pick it up.
Ordered mine today over the phone with premier. It has been processed and shipped already. So they obviously have them in the warehouse. Good luck guys
Ok I just bought my Xoom (Wifi Only) yesterday and already there is a price drop from $599.99 to $589.99.......
Not complaining cause I love my Xoom. I was up using it for 7 hours straight until my wife game me a dirty look....... (was about 1:00 am. then)
For all of us who bought the Xoom at BestBuy I would suggest taking your receipts back and having them refund you the difference (including tax). Since they do have a 30 day price match guarantee.

Update: Looks like you can get a Xoom a little cheaper!! (and get free shippin)
http://www.store.motorola.com/dp/B004Z1AIFM
Done im a whole $9.01 richer today then i was Sunday lol
Xoom for $539 (Free Shipping and Free Dock)
Well it looks like you can not get a Xoom from Motorola for $539 with 2 Day Free shipping and also a Free Dock
http://www.store.motorola.com/dp/B004Z1AIFM
Also a 30 Day Hassle free return...... all from Motorola.

My experience with the Motorola store was anything but hassle free. It took repeated phone calls and a total time period of 6 weeks before I received a credit for returned merchandise. Although everyone I spoke with in my frequent phone calls was pleasant, there appeared to be zero follow through. In my opinion, they are an example of a terrible business model. There are several posts on another forum that would confirm this.
That xoom is a refurbished unit....
i google and found the price of Xoom is $799, but the wifi xoom only $600.
$569 at Walmart.com. I was able to price match with Military Exchange to get that price tax free w/free shipping.
32GB Transformer w/ NY tax & shipping that I was going to get is almost the same price.
Dumped the acer and bought a xoom again after returning it when it first came out as wifi. It is much better now with the update but as far as price goes, I picked up an open box one at best buy for 539.00 It still had the original clear plastic on the tablet. basically it was new. Anyway, running on 3.1 now and happier than a pig in s**t

Best Buy. Long story but they really wanted me to buy a tablet there. Employees came from all around with discounts for me at check out. There was an actual line of employees with printed skews in their hands, each one adding a new discount. I was still in disbelief when I got home. Like I said, Just for fun I might stop by and have a go. I'm sure they need some kind of entertainment around there.
Oh yeah, the funny part was when the all got through with their discounts another guy walked up typed something in, while another dropped his jaw and said, "Did you just give him a $100 off without a managers aproval, how did you do that?" He just smiled and walked away. Everyone gets luck once in a while.
Will bb reimburse 100 to price match if you already purchased and are within 14 day return period?
Can you scan your receipt from best buy ,so some of who not lucky can used as proof of purchase..thanks![...QUOTE=T120ted;15826374]Best Buy.

Best buy said they dont price match coupons.
Thank you so much for this post, I just got back from Staples with a 16gb Tab. The tech guy in the store said they got 3 of them in yesterday and 1 person bought one late last night and the 2nd one was purchased 5 minutes before me and I got the last one. While he and I were talking 2 more people walked up asking for them and were told they were sold out. He said each store only got 2 or 3 of them.
They did have the Xoom, Playbook and Iconia in stock. The Iconia was quite tempting for $299!!! I also wouldn't have minded getting a Xoom for $399 to goof off with. This new Tab is for my son as I already have one myself. I wish they had the 32gb versions in the store but they said that model is only available online. Staples is also running a special for 15% off any tablet accessories when purchasing a tablet but they no Tab accessories in stock yet. The guy said they haven't received their end cap for the Tab which usually comes with the accessories shipment. He said he would honor the 15% offer once they receive their accessories so I'm going to check back periodically. Checking stock on their website shows other stores in the area have Tabs as well but the guy said it can take up to 24 hours for the online stock checker to update so with the rush of buyers looking for them with the coupon deal I suspect they'll all be gone very quickly. FYI, they are selling the metallic gray version (not the white). The website doesn't give any indication of color...

So how much did you exactly pay for the 16gb SGT??
Depending on your tax, I got mine for $430 after tax and coupon.
Too bad they don't stock the 32GB in any of their stores...
I wonder if they will honor this coupon over the phone to order a 32GB?? Guess I'll be trying here shortly
they do honor in store...

Tried a few Staples in DC metro area. Some don't have any. One store that do have in stock can't make the coupon work. Finally found one store that the manager knows about the coupon and offered to order one for me from Kiosk and pay at the register to use the coupon w/o any problem. I'll pick the tab up this Firday. $420 with tax.
Well, I was on a fence because of luck of Netflix. But now Netflix is sorted out and I've got 16Gb for 400 bucks plus tax from staples.
Got mine from staples 424.99 16gb when to four stores and the last store had 3 left also most stores don't have them on display
I picked up my Galaxy 10.1 at Staples today. I noticed that they didn't have any on display, but there were Xooms, Acers, Blackberries, etc. When I asked them why, they said that yesterday somebody tried to walk off with the display model, so they took it off display. Seems to me that he could have tried to walk off with any of them, so why remove just one?
Anyway, another guy said they had gotten their shipment in on Sunday (3 days ago), and I was the first to buy one. He said the store is getting many returns on tablets, because people buy them thinking they are laptops -- minus the keyboards. I assured him that I was familiar with the android system, owning a rooted Nook.
I am happy with the Samsung so far, but Honeycomb is a little bigger learning curve over Android 2.3. But my buddy at work has a Xoom, so I'll be picking his brain over the next couple of weeks.

What do you mean, "Netflix is sorted out?" Can Netflix be played on my Samsung? (Forgive me, I'm a Honeycomb newbie).
I want to get a Tab this weekend and I've been reading up on the SGT 10.1, problem is I don't know where I should go to buy one... and if I need to, I want to be able to return it with little/no hassle...
Any recommendations?
I bought mine from Costco. $599. 90 day return policy and 2 year warranty. I think it is worth paying retail for those two things.
+1 after considering lower price from Amazon ( meaning no sales tax), immediate availability - but 14 days return policy ( Best Buy) I decided that it's worth to play safe and buy from Costco. Free shipping, had it next day after ordering online, 90 days return policy - the most important thing for me after 6 Asus Transformers fiasco. ( fortunatelly all issues were in 30 day return window)
The local Best Buy. The first Tab that I got bricked itself soon after being powered on and I got a replacement with no hassle. The replacement has been flawless, thankfully.
Got mine at Best Buy. I had a $100 gift card from over a year ago that I never used. Decided to finally use it and put it towards paying for the tab.
I got mine from BB the day it came out. Had to wait while they were unloaded from the truck.
Traded it for an iPad.

I returned my Xoom to Costco right before 90 days. Got my refund + tax. Bought the Tab on Amazon for $599 + no tax + no shipping. Spent the difference plus a few more bucks and bought the bookcase cover.

Sprint store, just billed it to my account and I have 30 day warranty. It will not show on my bill for a month but I already have most of it paid off, also if I did take it back (I wont) I just have my phones paid off for a month or two with my already added payment's.

I got mine from BB using the $100 off coupon. The coupon sealed the deal for me.
I got mine from BB on opening day. Glad I did. I bought the Zagg invisible shield and paid for them to install. When they opened the box, the screen had a defect and the had to get another. Then the Zagg I bought was defective and they got another one from the shelf and installed. If I did not have them install the Zagg I would have driven 40 minutes back home only to be mad. Saved me time and not being angry on opening day. BB gives you 30 days on the Zagg install.

Best Bu, 18 months no interest was worth paying retail, didn't hurt at all. No need to return/exchange mine, it's been great so far.
