I am debating to get my first tablet. But having a hard time deciding if I should get the Xoom or the Asus Transformer. Or should I wait to see whats coming in the next few months...
I researched and seems that the negative reviews of the Xooms was when it first came out so wanted some feedbacks from new owners or reviewers.
Please help me decide.
Rank these if your looking at the 32 gb models
1. Build quality
2. Updates
3. Price
if #2 is price then get the transformer
If you care about 1 + 2 then get the xoom.
If your worried about it being outdated then buy it from a place with a 90 day return policy for electronics

I don't know how you can do better on price than $399. at Staples for the fabulous Xoom.
Important to me is features and quality. I'm stuck between the two because I do like motorla products but the features on the TF looks great too. I've heard the TF has a better screen than the Xoom too. Is the correct?
Also, is there a retailer that has 90 return that can match the staples coupon?

The screen quality on the transformer is better. Light bleed on the transformer is a bit of an issue however.

Yea I just got the Asus today for a friend and paid $299 for that you really can't go wrong. The screen does look better and you have to ability to get the keyboard to make it a net book. She did that and I must admit its nice piece. I like my Xoom but if I had a choice since mine was purchased for me I would of gotten the TF...

my post wasn't very descriptive xD maybe he might want the $399 - $100 transformer.
@ OP The transformer has that laptop thing and a better screen + price vs functionality. The xoom has it matched everywhere else. If you don't plan on rooting then we are spoon fed from google.

At Staples you can get the Xoom for $398. If build quality mean's anything to you then Xoom is a No Brainer. This AWESOME device does not feel cheap. Screen looks great to me and I have 5 Blu-Ray's on it and get compliments all the time, and even from other ipad2 owners. Netflix looks Great. The Xoom for me

I do not know where he picked it up from but you can get it at Office Depot and they will honor the Staples coupon. Office Depot honored the coupon without any debate for me but if they do you can always point them to their policy:
http://www.officedepot.com/renderStaticPage.do?file=/customerservice/lowPrice.jsp
How does our Price Match Guarantee work for in-store purchases?
If you find a lower price at another store on a new, identical item, show us the lower price at the time of purchase and we will match it on the spot. Or show us the lower price within 14 days of your Office Depot purchase and we will pay you the difference. Our price is the final price you pay after any discounts, coupons, instant savings and mail-in savings are applied. We will match the other store's point-of-sale price after deducting their instant rebates and coupons. We will not match the other store's mail-in rebates nor will we deduct the value of any gift with purchase.

MOBO Player, no lag at all. Used ANYDVDHD and DVDCATALYSTS 4 (Beta for Blu-Ray). Works Great
I have both devices and I am still trying to decide which one I like more. The Xoom is built better, no question. The TF has build quality issues, no question. The TF has IPS screen technology, a much better screen than the Xoom but you will deal with light leakage around the edges. The TF offers the keyboard dock which is probably my favorite feature. When I go anywhere with it, I can simply close it and set it down to protect the screen or case, then undock it with a simple slide button. I hate setting my Xoom down, it seems to leave it vulnerable to scratches or damage.
So my best advise is that no matter what you buy today, there will be a better device tomorrow. By Q4 2011, we should have a Tegra3 processor and Android 4 ICS. Then I will pony up for a "best device" and I'll be happy, for a week or so...
*EDIT*
Just for grins, I took a couple of pictures of the Xoom and TF side-by-side. Screen brightness set to 100% on all devices. TF on the left, Xoom on the right. Looking straight-on at the devices, there is a such a small difference. But at any side-to-side angle, the TF is definately better.
First image TF left, Xoom right straight-on
Second image TF left, Xoom right, 45 degree angle
Third image is TF left, Xoom center, VS GTab right straight-on

Screen protector: Naked, especially if you're just keeping it around the house, it has Gorilla Glass. It's not like it's going to be in a jeans pocket rubbing against grains of sand.
Apps/widgets: That's a personal thing, based on what you're going to be using the Tab for. Go browse the Android Market (use the web-based version) and start downloading.
Best ROM: Run stock KMB for awhile, then you'll know if you want/need the enhancements(or reductions) found in the custom ROM packages.
$370?? Awesome deal!! I got mine for 400 plus tax using the Staples coupon
Alright Croak will do. And thanks lost. I'm really liking the screen on this think, its miles ahead of the screens on my old tablets (Elocity A7 and Nook color)

You already got it, but keep an eye on the screen moisture issue. I picked one up off Craigslist and it has very bad moisture issue. I am not yet sure how Samsung offers or if they will support this type of purchase.
I thought I'd see if anybody on the forums would want this before I post it on Ebay. It is 850/1900/2100 version (AT&T), not refurbished, only one owner (me), WAS NEVER rooted. It has always had a screen protector and case on the device, since the first day I received it. The ONLY flaw with this is some scratches on the screen protector. The actual screen is still in 10/10, perfect condition. I'm not quite sure what else to put... I've never sold anything on the forums before. I guess if you need any additional pictures and such, just PM me?
Inside the box:
1-Original box
1-Nexus One phone
1-Original battery

300$ for the nexus one is overpriced got mine for 150 euro`s nowadays i can easily get a one x , s2 and galaxy nexus for 300-400$ its gonna be hard to sell but good luck
I'm located in the Los Angeles area in California, USA.
selling for $180 with a rough estimate of $15-20 for shipping in THE U.S. ONLY.
International buyers will pay for a different shipment amount as I think it will cost more along with insurance if you want that. I'm trying to stay clear of International buyers, because of bad past experiences.
Payment method I will only accept is PayPal.
Is this tab a good deal for $279? Its the 16gb version norm price is $379. I just wanna make sure everything works well. Any problems with this tab? I have the Lenovo Ideapad K1 and the biggest problem I have with it, is its has horrible WiFi signal and I haven't seen any WiFi issues with this tab. But I did notice that this tab doesn't have gorilla glass. So I also want to make sure the glass doesn't get to scratched easily and that its sensitive enough.
Thanks, Dev

Good luck actually getting one, but I think it sounds like a good deal. Remember this does have expandable memory, so really internal storage isn't a huge problem. I had the transformer prime for a while, loved it, but couldn't justify the expense so I returned it. This thing is the exact same device with a plastic back and slightly lower res screen If this sale is going on cyber Monday too I'm certainly snagging one.

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'd run with it. I have the 32 GB version, with another 32 GB micro SD card. I paid $297 for mine on the no tax weekend at Micro Center in St. Louis. These were on clearance. I've had 4 tablets already, the Acer Iconia 500, the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab 2, and this one. I've enjoyed this one more than all the others.
Today, a boss of mine, that I see once a year, came in, and noticed he had an iPad with him. I really wanted to say to him, "So, you got a pretentious hunk of junk, huh?" But I figured that would hurt his feelings.

Same here...sure would like the link so could pick it up at Bestbuy and not hassle with Black Friday crowds! Like the $299 OfficeDepot price for the 32GB but w/sd card don't think I need the add'l 16GB. Other than production apps that can't use SD storage, any major benefit for getting the 32Gb model?
Also (and new thread likely best, but...) this'll be my first tablet. Mostly for multimedia, browsing, e-books, & general game playing - considering Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 too. Though Galaxy might(?) have a better multimedia experience (not so much into the Galaxy's "extra" GUI), but TF300T seems to have better multimedia & overall performance. Am I losing much if any on graphics & sound in going for the better performance? Sorry, I know it's been discussed some elsewhere, but need some additional thoughts to help me know I'm not making the wrong choice!

My advice is to make sure you can return it just in case you're not happy with it. I/O issue plagues most of current Asus pads so in the end, lower price may not justify the frustration. Again you might be ok with it but just in case.

Good point - just checked with Office Depot and they do give 14 days to return it for a full refund. So that shouldn't be a problem...
As for the I/O issue, how prevalent is it? I did a quick search and did find some references. This has me greatly concerned and if it's that big problem of a problem, then about only alternative is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. But being a dual core, was worried it'd be noticeably slow in running apps, browsing/viewing multimedia, etc. Did like some aspects of the Galaxy, but was really leaning towards the TF300T.
Just came across one XDA thread from August discussing ASUS working on fixing this and the OTA 4.0.4 greatly helped the benchmarks. Is it possible a new kernel or update has corrected the issues at this point? Another in September mentioned using a custom ROM...I plan on rooting it, though just as with my EVO3D thought I'd stay with the stock rooted ROM. I'd figure this an option to help correct the problem if I do encounter it (and if necessary, run a different ROM)?
Lastly, how difficult is it to root?
Thanks much for the insights!!

I noticed on the Office Depot Black Friday ad that they have the TF300T 32Gb for $299.99 (advertised as blue so may not be the black you want). Some items are available for sale online tomorrow - Update: turns out have to go to the store on Friday morning to get this deal. I know it's an extra $20 and quite possibly blue, but still a good deal...
And yes, after reading more I feel less wary of the i/o issue. Some had encountered it, others not and seemed that OTA updates (possibly moving from ICS to Jelly Bean) helped. Plus rooting and running a custom ROM is another option or worst case, bring it back...
Looks like another round of learning regarding unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Was reading a bit about being able to do OTA updates if rooted (but not unlocked), and restoring root after. Seems to me on my EVO3D doing OTA's after unlocking & rooting weren't recommended, and that may be the case here too? I do have to go back and do more reading on these topics!

Used tablets are like used underwear. It may wash up nice but I can never forget it's had someone else's ass in it.
Deal or just looks like deal you read below and decide

I do not see it always bad to buy used or refurbished. But you really should think.
New for 32 gb 499.99 average price retail with 1 year warranty
Refurbished 32 gb average say 410.00 no warranty add 50.00 for hard to get them to pay warranty $460.00 if no shipping can
Save you 40.00 or gamble it will not break
So my honest well thought out opinion is spend the extra 40.00 plus buy good premium drop protection warranty.
Can save you money in the future.
Good luck

Yes but we are talking cheek to cloth here - lol
I will buy used if I am getting a BIG discount but for a lousy $50 I'll pony up and cut the OEM safety tape myself.
