ahh, yes. The 'free' 4G upgrade for existing Xoom owners will really be $699.
I got an e-mail from Staples today showing the Xoom Wifi @ $499, with $50 off coupon to use in-store.
I've gone through 3 Honeycomb tablets and came to the conclusion I hate Honeycomb... but dang, a 32GB 10 inch tablet for $450 is almost tempting...
Ugh... must wait for Ice Cream Sandwich... avoid evil temptations... sooo hard...
If anyone wants a $50-off Staples coupon for the Xoom, mine is below.
It's supposed to be in-store only (print out the coupon and bring it in), but you can try the code online to see if it works. Deal ends after this Saturday, Jul 9.

here's the coupon....
I bought mine today..... traded in my Acer a500 and paid the difference and it was well worth it!!!!
Verizon has a the best deal, you could by a Refurb Xoom for $280 plus a 2 year contract. Best deal i have seen around. Just helping the budget conscious developers.

Not exactly a deal then. In my opinion.
I got my xoom wifi around the middle of July at Staples with a coupon worth $100. I only paid $400.

+1...and now Best Buy has most Xoom accessories at 50% off.
Bought one too ...
I took advantage of the $100 off Staples coupon and the result, I paid £264 as opposed to £479 in the UK thanks to the kindness of a friend who visited the US recently. Rip-off UK is truly alive and well ... and at this price it was a no brainer ;-) The 16GB Asus would only have been £185 as opposed to £379, but they were clearly VERY popular and not in stock.

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

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.

If you take the VAT off and convert to USD - WiFi + 3G=$780 / WiFi Only=$650
I'm a bit confused by this. Didn't motorola say the wifi only model would be 600 USD? I'm going to be bummed if its in the 700's. Perhaps this is only a placeholder seeing as it got pulled

Sorry, that is a direct currency conversion from GBP into USD, not an accurate USD price.

Yeah, typically the EU or UK price is higher than the direct conversion. I would guess convert and then take 15% off. I bet it will be $599
so when do we get it here

This is about right. People freak out when they do a straight currency conversion from GBP to USD or EUR to USD, but they fail to recognize that there is often VAT and other taxes included in the GBP price.
It should be noted that based on the Engadget article that I read that the 449GBP price is 50GBP cheaper than the 32gb iPad in the UK.
Edit: Thought I'd add I did the conversion based on the 449GBP price, removing the VAT and converting to USD, we're looking at a retail price of ~$583USD, which lines up with what we've heard about a $600USD WiFi price.
Okay sweet! Very excited to get my hands on one of these things. I've already gone to use the tablet in store three times bsessed:

Android Central Report
Samsung Galaxy Nexus ad says it will hit Verizon on November 29, to cost $199.99
Nobody is really sure what it means at the moment, but we definitely know the ad showing the Verizon Galaxy Nexus for $199.99 is real. As in, It's not fake since it's showing up on Android sites across the web (we've spotted it here at AP, at Phandroid, and DroidForums to name a few). These ads are run by NetShelter, which is a premium advertising network that deals directly with carriers and manufacturers and does not mess around - we know them all too well.
Clicking Learn More goes to this page that doesn't list the Galaxy Nexus, so either someone pressed the Launch button a bit too early or the ad was scheduled ahead of time and someone forgot to postpone it due to all the recent delays. One thing stands out, however - $199.99 is about $100 cheaper than we thought the Nexus would go for. Of course, it may be a holiday promotion, but hey - we'll take it.

Note the tag "cmp=BAC-OM-111129-HOLIDAYSAMSUNG" in the Learn More url, which seems to point at a mysterious 11/29 date. Could it be the date the sale will go online? In that case, we're definitely seeing it prematurely.

That's a pretty damn good deal. Hopefully it's true!
Sounds great, this will be much easier to justify, hopefully amazon does it for 1cent.

That will probably be for the 16 GB version. $299 will be for the 32 GB version.

That seems more realistic.
Unless, Verizon wants to bet Google how much better they can sell the Nexus phones, to make them the only retailer to carry it...

I thought it was already determined the 32gb version was the US LTE version? Then again...everything about this phone is rumored.

I agree, especially if this info is any indicator. The page previously had storage listed as 16GB, but has since changed it to 32GB.
So, I think it's a good chance that $199 may hold up.

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.
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.
