Bought my Xoom tonight at stables!

I went to staples tonight and bought a xoom wifi off the shelf. WOOT, Since I live in Utah, all the staples are closed Sunday so I guess they opened sales up early.
I would upload an image but the forums want me to post 8 times first....
thegrubar.com/IMAG0010.jpg

is stables a new kind of funky off beat retail store?
just teasin; with ya.. cool news. im sure you are stoked!!

Where in Utah? I am in Stockton, outside of Tooele and I am wanting to get mine asap..

I just bought one today at the Redmond, WA Staples. I thought the wi-fi only version was not supposed to be available until tomorrow (Sunday 3/27) and in fact Best Buy either didn't have them today or wouldn't sell me one... but Staples did.
So far, I like this thing.

I would like to know this aswell i went to the riverton staples and called the sandy one and neither would do it til tomorrow

Bought mine today at staples in california! Its wonderful!

Question... Does the box have any special staples code on it? And does the receipt show the serial number. The reason I ask is because I was thinking about buying one then returning my amazon order to staples when it comes in.

Yea i went to two staples today in Jersey, one refused to sell it to me and in another one the general manager of the store couldn't wait to sell it to me; i'm loving the device so far.

They're always gonna have special bar codes to identify each unit individually. One reason is to keep people from doing something like this....
Just wait 2 days for your Amazon order or just return it when it gets here if you buy the Staples one.

Ya all must be from the country. Wes call it Staples around these parts. On a side note don't you read your post before or after posting? I see this a lot.

Crazy, i was born and raised in Redmond!

I saw the model version at staples in new York. They didn't have any for sale...either that it was all bought out. But the demo unit had the latest 3.01 version. From all demo units I saw, none of them had internet access at all! It's quite a shame cuz there's a lot to show. But the demo unit was snappy and fast!

Just picked mine up at Staples(manassas,Va in case anyone cares)! Unfortunately it came with the battery completely drained so im waiting for it to charge enough to turn on.

Woot, got mine from Staples today. At first they refused to sell it to me, claiming they had to give me an 'orientation' first. I simply asked if they were ready to lose out on $600.
So far I like it. Typing on it now, the keyboard isn't ideal for two-handed typing. Gotta touch type. Also not seeing spellcheck in the browser. And typing on the full XDA site is realllllly laggy. Wondering if that's due to flash. Oh well, so far so good.
It is a bit heavy room come to think of it. Damn!
Edit: Spellcheck has to be enabled in the keyboard settings. Gah, such a n00b error.

Did it come with a saddle?

Not entirely but I plan on switching to the Touch Friday if I can get my hands on one. I will still be hanging around and helping as possible. As long as I have people willing to test I can still help out without the phone.

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol. But I've bought from them and they're legit, but my keyboard box was all beat up, the keyboard was pristine. It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

I've never had an issue with 1 sale. They're like Matrix status on eBay. It's a reputable company and if I'm not mistaken they are based out of Florida.
Goobacks, yeah I have the cash to, but my wife would bully me to counseling if I got this thing. Hell, her eye is probably twitching right now knowing I even saw it.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

$49.00 Galazy S III Hard to pass up

So Sprint is offering black friday deals on the Galaxy S3 of $49.00 and that is a tough bargain to pass up.
I love my Epic, and I love the hardware keyboard. With that being said I have been eligble for an upgrade for well over a year. I'm thinking get the S3 for $49 trying it out, and if I don't like it sell it on Ebay. Take the money gained and apply it to a Galazy Note 2?
Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

Where's the info to back up that first line? I have a friend who's on an old Galaxy S and who's looking to upgrade, this would be a sweet deal for him to pick up and get into an S3 for that price. I didn't see anything special on Sprint's website at first glance.

What Frost said, but I might keep it private between The People. It seems most ROMs are debloated without knowing the dependencies of what they remove and people have issues. I always go for stability first so I am not removing anything and will help people learn how to debloat to their liking. With that said, Jellybomb has quick updates, fixes and support as well as tons of themes and options. I highly recommend flashing the removed apps zip as well.

You might as well make it public. It will eventually get out and some **** stain will try to pass it off as their own, so you might as well take your lumps now and deal with all the GS3 noobs.

It still might be cheaper to get a basic membership + $1 S3 then to get it anywhere else you mentioned. Plus the free samplers in the food section alone will make your membership cost effective

Agreed. The reviews tend to justify the $350 price, but it's just not a magic spot. $299 along with an actual advertising campaign would've sold these things like hotcakes.

That's really a pretty inflamatory question. The same could be said of virtually any retailer that discounts any product on Cyber Monday. Irrespective, Newegg's generous return policy makes it a non sequitur.
