Help Deciding, WiFi or 3G model...

so im in bit of dilema... I had a iPad (yay its gone) and i want to buy a Xoom. I frequently used my iPad for school but now that i dont have it im realizing how much i really needed it @[email protected]
So my problem, will stores (bestbuy in particular) have the Xoom on Sunday (3/27)? Or should i just buy the normal one tomorrow? I seriously need a tab ASAP and i dont want to wait if i dont have to.

it depends on how much you plan on using it me personally I got the 3g one since I like having internet everywhere I go without worrying about wifi

Just buy the regular one from best buy for full retail and then return it when wifi comes out. I believe you have 14 days return. Double check before you buy so you can't cuss me out ;-)

yes its 14 days, but they charge a restocking fee in the neighborhood of $50-$70.
The WiFi comes out in 5 days, just wait and save yourself $200... Just call your local store and ask, they should be on sale on the 27th. If not, you can pre-order on amazon and you should have it by monday if not Saturday (they sometimes ship it 1 day early to ensure you get it in time for launch).

ill call tomorrow and ask. like i said i need it ASAP, so no later than next monday 3/28.

Need is a strong word...
They are supposedly on sale on the 27th everywhere, I dont see why one of the many retailers selling it wouldn't have one available.

I wouldn't mind paying the monthly fee. It is the added $200 bucks premium I dont have the stomach for. If it was $599 for 3G, I'll pick one up and do month to month non-contract. Works for me.

I got mine with the 2yr contract. One thing to think about is you can get the 1gb/m plan and upgrade/downgrade at anytime. so 20bucks per month , net anywhere, 200 bucks off the $800 price tag. worth it to me. extra 10 bucks gets you the protection plan incase you break it.

i opt for 3G model.

With the iPad I can see not having the need of 3G and WIFI version is perfectly fine. But with Xoom, I am really debating. The whole benefit of Honeycomb is the widget functionality. A lot of the widget relies on having internet to update (i.e.: news, weather, etc.,). So not having 3G, that really going to hamp down the true experience of XOOM isn't it?
But then again, paying the premium of $200.00 just to have the 3G benefit sucks...*sigh*...decision decision.

I thought once you sign the 2 yrs contract, let say at $50/mo, you can't downgrade it....

I think its just like any phone contract, you can upgrade/downgrade your minutes/texts/data etc. at any time to apply to the next month.

I bought the 3G/LTE (upgradable) version, but I bought it off contract. Verizons data plans are a joke, $20 for 1 GB of data, no unlimited option? That is insulting, considering that the LTE could chew through that in a day. I hate the way the wireless ISP data plans are going. Looking a my sprint bills I use around 10 GB per month.
I just use my EVO 4g and tether it to my Xoom, my Xoom is in airplane mode all the time, which saves on the battery. Also on a side note, one overlooked feature new to honeycomb ( I think its new, my evo with can't do it) you can use bluetooth while in airplane mode without having to toggle airplane mode. Nice touch none of the reviewers mention.

Heck I blow 1GB on my FIOS in an hour...haahah

I blew mine on day 2 cuz i used wifi on day 1. Then i cancel on day 2. When the bill came home, they dont say how much i owed them. So i took it to verizon store, they said i had 3 bucks of data left Funny thing is, I was using the minimum amount compare to how much i use on my nexus.

Is anyone even buying the $800 3G Xoom anymore?

With all the cheaper tablets out now or in the near future, is anyone going to be "brave" (using a nice word) enough to buy the $800 3G Xoom anymore?
I am trying to sell my 3G Xoom (barely used) for $625 on Craigslist and I don't even get any real offer for about 1 week (except for people who wants to trade it for tatoos work).
That is a lot of savings for an almost 2 month old tablet when you take into account of not having to pay taxes.

I sold mine and got the playbook and am very pleased.
I couldnt even sell my Xoom for 625.. Sold for 600$ . When I listed my iPad 2 only 40$- retail it sold by the next day.. Xoom for a week couldnt sell for 200$- retail without me having to deal with shipping. Basically also when you buy the Xoom current 800$ price point model the price drops 1/4 immediately.
So if you buy it at say Best Buy and have 14 days remember after this your 820$+ device is really worth 6-650$

I guess im lucky i sold mine for 650 on craigslist and same as you i bought a playbook.
The playbooks screen is just amazing!

If it were a wifi only Xoom maybe, but since it's a 3g Xoom I find it pretty stupid to purchase when you can get a wifi only one for the same price. I mean sure, you can get a plan but why get a plan for something that your smartphone could tether its current plan to?

Why do you need a plan? The 3G that I am selling does not need any plan.
Also, I currently have the ipad, the T-mobile Galaxy Tab, the 3G Xoom, and I bought the 64 GB Playbook on opening day.
I love the Playbook so much that I have neglected to use the other 3 tablets.
I need to sell my 3G Xoom to buy the 8.9" Samsung tab in June. I have too many toys now.

But I think that is the point/problem...
If someone doesn't need/want the VZW data plan, then they don't need to spend the extra $$ on the VZW Xoom with 3G (4g upgradeable).
So if you're selling a used VZW 3G Xoom, its a tough sale when a "NEW In Box" Wifi Only Xoom can be had for $539.99 to $599.99.
Also consider the "NIB" Xoom would have a store return policy, and the warranty wouldn't have started weeks (or possibly two months per the OP) ago.

Id wait till motorola upgrades the radio so you can say its 4g capable since its free n ur waiting till june to spend the money on another tablet if it was just wifi only id sell it now but im sure some people wud like to be able to put there thunderbolt 4g unlimited data sims card in the tablet
it be a faster sell once its got its 4g radio

Lol, how many things in the world have cheaper version?
If you want a ferrari do you buy a fiat cause it still has all the wheels and an engine just lik the ferrari?
Yes, people are still buying the 3G XOOM, I paid £580GBP for mine and it was well worth it.
The Acer should be half the price, it's an entry level company.

Some people feel that using a phone as a wifi hotspot/tether just eats up the phone battery much quicker and so it's not that useful if you plan on surfing the net with the Wifi Xoom for long periods of time.

I ditched my smartphone and now pay less for the same amount of data I was using. My dumbphone is still a better phone than the smartphones I've had.

You made a good point. I will just hold onto the $625 price point until I fully upgrade to 4G and see if it will sell better. I will feel better if I use it more often before I sell so that I can get my money's worth.

tethering is just fine here - Nexus One + Xoom.
Heard about charging your phone via your Xoom using a micro-usb to micro-usb cable ... need to buy one and try it out myself cuz the Xoom battery is just awesome.

Went with a dumb phone and 3/4g xoom, and paying less for data too. Use wifi at home and work and 3g when I'm out and about. Luv my 3g tab

Republic Wireless $19 unlimited voice, SMS and data service: Nov 8

Update:
I got a coupon code to get the phone + 1 Month of service for $100. Comes with 30 day money back if you don't like it.
"There’s so much more we have to show you. So visit, look around. Oh, that $99 offer we told you about? To get it, use the code welcome19 to join before November 27, 2011 at 11:59 pm ET."
Found this over at fatwallet.com (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1136530/)
Here is what is posted there:
The service will require a special Android-based phone. Calls and SMSs will be routed via VOIP when on wifi and via cell towers otherwise.

The phone will primary use wifi for voice and texting and if no wifi is within range it will jump over to the Sprint network for voice, texting, and 3g data (no data cap). I guess you will need a CDMA android phone. Not sure yet if you have to buy a special phone from them but I'm sure someone will come up with a rom to flash to a Sprint android phone.
If this is all true it would be great to have one phone number, text, and unlimited data for only $19 with VoIP! I'll sell my G2x and find a phone that will work on this in a heart beat.
Let me know your thoughts.
I think I'm going to get one. If the phone if just an LG Optimus maybe someone can help me dump the ROM and flash it to a normal Sprint Optimus so you don't have to buy there phone.

From what I've read, you need a phone with special hardware sold by Republic, and judging from the picture on the website, it's probably going to be the LG Optimus S/V.
If it pans out and works like they say it will, I'd considering switching from Virgin Mobile. I'm already using the Optimus V, so it wouldn't be that much of a change for me.

I wonder how much they are going to charge for the phone?

from there website:
How much cellular usage is too much?
It depends. Even assuming 0% wifi usage, for example, you could consume 550 minutes, send 150 texts, and download 300 megabytes of data without crossing the community’s fair use threshold. Everyone's usage patterns will be different, but we're confident you’ll be amazed at how little cellular you actually use when you have a phone that makes it easy to leverage the power of your Wi-Fi networks.

$19 vs $55 a month. Maybe by a pay per day plan and some minutes with a few megs of data.

The pay as you go plan is 50 cents/day for unlimited web, only on the days you use it. It's 20 cents per minute for voice calls, but if you froze the dialer (or never used it) and didn't give out the Boost number, voice would never get used.
Since GrooVeIP will work over 3G or Wifi, your max cost per month (after phone and GrooVeIP) would be $15.50.

Totally ordered this yesterday. Order status says shipped but no tracking #.
$199 is quite the deal, even when you factor in the data package (which I wanted).
$30 * 12 = $360 a year is definitely doable for 4G LTE. (Not including taxes and regulatory fees, of course!)

How much data do you get for that?

I jumped all over this on Black Friday. I have wanted a Xoom for a long time to go with my Nexus S but the price was always prohibitive. It wasn't the data plan so much as the cost of the actual hardware. $199 for the 32 GB 4G+WiFi version was a no brainer.

Told this to my gf and then found out sake had ended. She texted back with
Last night I found she ordered it for me!
I'm gonna miss my ipad and the unlimited data though

I also jumped on this for a good deal on black friday seeing as it's a gift from my sister. I love it so far just need some CM9 love for my new beloved Xoom. I was going to get a cheap data plan anyways too bad it wasn't qualified for the double data promo.

It's a better price than $299 + $720 commitment. For someone who only wants a WiFi Xoom, yes, this is not a deal. For those of us who want data somewhere other than WiFi hotspots though, this was a great deal on hardware cost alone.

I bought one for my daughter. She is loving it in Texas. For what she uses it for there was no need to wait for a quad core version, and the newer Xooms that are going 1.2 GHZ I am already beating that with my overclocked Xoom at 1.6 GHZ.
Let us all remember the Xoom is considered a Google developer reference device, which mean it should get ICS love earlier than any other original tablets.

I'm going through the same thought process with the added complication that to move over from T-Mobile would also mean surrendering my 50% line rental discount. Problem is, I think they've killed the proposition with the usage limits. I'm much less concerned by the comparative price increase than the fact that I'd have a fast connection that would be hamstrung by a (relatively) low usage limit.
Given the speeds I get on HSPA through T-Mobile now, I highly doubt I'll be going for it, even though they will allow a mid-contract handset upgrade from my i9300 mid-contract to an i9305 for £99, which is the only reason I'm really considering it at all.

Exactly the same here, One thing I didnt know was the £99 upgrade you mentioned whilst being in contract? Has this been confirmed?
Were you offered this when you called them?

I personally cannot recommend a move to 4g right now, it's just too much for so little.
For me I could only afford the 500MB plan so all I would see is webpages loading a little faster. Speed is useless if you cannot use it.
If you want to be stuck on WiFi all the time just get a BT broadband connection for access to BT hotspots and get a cheap tariff with a little data and a decent amount of calls and texts.

Orange are taking mine back and exchanging it for the 4G one (for free) , cost for 4G isn't important to me I just need faster Internet for work as I'm on the road all day

Me too, £15 per month on Three, all you can eat data, 3000 texts and 300 minutes calls, I don't have it on contract, I use those addon things for Pay as you go, I Love it, they last a month and I only normally use 200 minutes of those, I use around 1gb of data per month (If the data monitor was accurate), I'm sticking with i9300 for now, I have no need to move.
In my area 3G speeds on Three are 3mbit/ps (Three dedicates themselves to 3G so I guess thats why)

Exactly the same here, One thing I didnt know was the £99 upgrade you mentioned whilst being in contract? Has this been confirmed?
Were you offered this when you called them?

It's a standard offer for anyone on TM or Orange who bought an S3, HOX or one other handset that I can't remember within the last 6 months. It's on EE's website.
