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....

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?

The xda site is very laggy on the xoom. It has been that way since day 1 with any xoom. Get thumb keyboard in market for excellent typing on xoom.

For 755usd I can buy it for you and send it with fast/insured EMS/Datapost shipping. So you can rest assured you will get your brand new Note.
I would trust me far more, than most scammers/scam websites out there..

Just order it from L2D2 http://www.l2d2online.com/samsung-galaxy-note-black.html
I would be very very very very careful dealing with bestnydepot, I wouldn't trust them with my CC.
I called bestnydepot after wondering the exact same thing. I talked to the representative on the phone, and he stated that the price is accurate, but that they just happened to run out of stock earlier that day and would not have more coming in for another 2-3 weeks. Riiiight.
Needless to say, I ordered from L2D2 half an hour later. The price is still fantastic and I gain the peace of mind knowing that I'm dealing with a much more reputable company.
Looks like Amazon is shipping it as well http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0061YRDX6/
Guys, please share your shopping experience of L2D2.

So far so good. I have not got my unit yet but I ordered it on Friday afternoon thinking it would not ship until Monday but later that day received a tracking number showing Tuesday. So from a processing time perspective I give them excellent service. I will let you know how it goes when the product arrives.
Wait, you ordered it Friday afternoon? I'm assuming before 1 PM EST, right? I'm asking because I ordered it on Friday as well, but at around 5 PM EST.
Also, I'm incredibly glad to hear that you got a tracking number. I was worried that they would try to pull the whole 'take your money now and ship the phone when we get it in stock' deal.
Yep, ordered it at 2:30 and got the tracking number slightly before 6. As long as its a Note in the box and not a brick, I will be happy.
Arrggh, if only I had known of L2D2 earlier that afternoon. Oh well, I decided to pay $15 for UPS 2 Day shipping, so it should be in my hands by Wednesday.
I'm sorry, did I say 'should'? I meant to say it'd BETTER. I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH HERE ARGGHH. After all, I didn't pay extra for tardiness.
Thanks guys Keep updated!
I ordered late Friday night. Order still "processing"

I really don't know why I didn't create an account before making the order with L2D2. Now I'm going crazy wondering about my order status. PickleHead, since we're in the same boat, can you keep us posted in regards to yours?

I gave L2D2 a call and they said any order made over the weekend has stock and they're shipping mine out today. If you call them, they can look it up by name and maybe even make you an account so you can check it yourself.
Thanks for the advice. I called them up just now and they told me it would be shipped out later this evening. If you chose UPS, the pick up time is usually around 5:30-6 PM EST.

I went with priority, USPS has locked package boxes here!
Ah, that's good to hear; in our minds, nothing is quite as important right now as getting that phone in our hands . It looks like our shipments are going to be racing each other! Since I paid for two day air shipping, though, I'm fully expecting to have the phone on Wednesday, regardless of when it's getting picked up.

Is there anyway to use the lapdock without AT&T extra fees?
They sold out right away. Yet supposedly no one bought the Atrix.
I'm sure they are being flipped as we speak.

Wi-Fi.
or that hot spot/tethering mod. but then that opens you up to tethering charges from AT&T.

Either that or they just didn't have many in stock -- I check 1saleaday daily, and there are some items that just tend to sell out really quickly, "hot" or not. Thankfully, since I check it daily (11:00 ritual...), I stumbled upon it early and was able to snag one.
Also, sometimes they re-run an item again a few weeks after first having it, if they ended up with some left in stock. There is a *slight* chance that they could have another run of them at some point.
dissapointed
My lapdock still has not even started the shipping process yes

I just ordered one of these. I figured for $19 it was worth it.
http://www.dailysteals.com/
Sale goes for another 7 hours 35 minutes as of this writing.
PS... I know this is supposed to go under "Accessories" But I wanted to post this where everyone can see this. There are actually more apps for this in the market then I thought there would be. Yes, I also a aware it is over a year old now but again for $19 I figured why not.
If anyone buys it and or has had it mind posting your thoughts on what you think of the Sony LiveView
what? is this even real? or just a scam? soooo cheap... suspicious
Had one when i first got my Play about a year ago! Handy for quickly checking your texts and calls! Never really used it much past that, as a lot of the add ons never seemed to work too well!
The other major problem was it disconecting! Some times would work for 4 hours! Other times would have to re-connect every 15 minutes! But for $19 bucks its a steal! Well worth it!

I have purchased from this DailySteals several times and its legitimate. I am guessing the reason for the cheap price is because there is the new Sony SmartWatch that replaced it. Thats why I am guessing there is the firesale on the LiveView watch.
I recently ordered a external battery charger for my gadgets and it was regularly about 89, got it from this site for about $50. Thing works great, love it. Now I'll be waiting for the LiveView to come in the mail
Please post a review of it when you receive it. I've read reviews and it is utter GARBAGE !
I will post my review on it here when I get it and have a couple days to play with it. I have read reviews bashing it for inconsistent connection issues, which have been resolved with a app call LiveView Manager Charm. And read others saying its great. But yes I will leave my review here.
Be advised that this sale of the LiveView ends in a matter of hours so if you want one you would need to get it sooner. And the price above @ 20 is half the price of what I have been seeing it at SlickDeals.net and many other deals sites. Just my 2 cents.
Just saw this.....
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2012/01/31/sony-ericsson-liveview-is-not-dead-yet/
REMEMBER this is the LIveView not the Smartwatch!,
u can get the liveview for under 30$ from amazon, the specified 99$ are a joke!
Yes, I am aware this is the LiveView and NOT the Smart Watch. I have typically seen the LIveView for around 35-40 on Amazon. So the $20 new in box is a great price in my opinion
I bought one from there like two weeks ago, its not a scam
It says $14.99 for me. You guys are including shipping?
what about UK?
EDIT amazon UK has it for £22

mh the only difference i discovered till yet is the control of this device, the smartwatch got a touchscreen the liveview not, i also think that a view more apps are available for the smartwatch.
the battery lives longer then the battery of the liveview.
and the last difference i know is the look of the devices^^
I know I was saying that this had bad reviews but i've bought one myself I got it cheap though
Btw anyone know if the Liveview going to get a firmware update for the issues it has ?
yes, through the firmware update should the issue be gone

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.
