[Q] Did you receive your 25% off Xoom yet?

Since I am still waiting for ANY word on my Xoom shipping, I wanted to poll and see how many are still waiting? Indulge my Sadism...

This doesn't need a new thread.

Thank you mom.

I think it does, im tired of *****ing in the other one about my declared war with Motorola

Mine came nicely packaged Wednesday at 11am, free case and all.

got mine yesterday from fedex with the case

Should be here on Monday standard shipping

got it yesterday

got it an hour ago
Little laggy in the browser, but not too shabby

Got mine yesterday 2 day shipping.

Got mine today so you can close the thread now! lol

Got mine today. Poor packaging, xoom box was not sealed and xoom was slidding around freely in box. Everything appears to be fine. I love this thing, only complaints are the speaker placement and the screen contrast. Othewise, I can't set this thing down!

Remember they may win all the battles, but the war isn't over!

Well add me to the received tracking info side. Should be here by tuesday.
Only 3 more days left of *****ing & moaning for me!

F Motorola, lol, that is all. Still nothing, no tracking or call back

I am also still waiting... I am tempted to go buy one locally to make sure I like it. If I dont I would return the one I bought and sell the one I got from Motorola for some money. But after reading some reviews I think it will be okay.

Thank you Asus

Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!

i agree, this is a pretty awesome device

Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !

same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

Lol Wooot

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.

I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!

Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha

lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.

Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

Amazon is sold out now but they last had the B6O revision so the next batch will probably be the same or higher. If you're going to reorder, now would be a good time.

I must say i did not know that my version was light years thinner and lighter then all the us models untill i played with all 3 models anyways my question is what would you have picked? the real Uk Gs2 or branded GS2 now my uk version gets 4g but on Att only but im on tmobile and i keep my clear wireless on me at all times so im never on edge but witch model do you guys like? The exnoys Cpu is a beast and faster then the S3 i hear but again was my choice a good one i love how thin this device is and the fact its not tied to any network so the Ics update should come with no problems and theres tons of roms and development for the uk gs2

Lmao your pathetic. 700 dollars when you easily could've got one for >500. Ok and no offense but, how dumb could you be! Also the AT&T model is the same as the international model lmao (same thickness except it has 4 capacitive buttons). So you obviously didn't play with AT&T model and you got ripped off. Oh yea and its pathetic that you have to carry a hotspot with you at all times just to get 3G speeds.

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones.

I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

And they are making customers fuming with note 4 zagg issue. As of right now I will NOT recommend sprint. They have not changed their behavior from 10 years ago. Same b.s. that gave them a bad rap. I am really regretting moving to sprint.
I bought my phone outright. And am really considering selling it paying off phone and going elsewhere.
Or just keeping it and taking phone to another carrier.
I hope they go bankrupt. Maybe then they will listen to their customers.
