I got me a Xoom with all the bells and whistles on release day. Paid a bit over $800 for the 3G Xoom from Verizon (no contract BS), Keyboard, the case, etc.
That was about a year and a half ago. I had it on 3G, then 4G for a while.. but then I just hardly used it anymore. With my Galaxy Nexus phone, I hardly looked back at the Xoom for a really long time. I ended up cancelling my data service through Verizon.
Now after using it for a bit again, I'm loving the tablet experience once more... but unsure about what I should do. I'm tempted to sell the Xoom and pick up the just-announced Nexus 7.
What kinda hurts me is that all the Xoom accessories are now going for a bit $300-350ish give-or-take. A nice chunk off of the $800+ I initially paid.
I know Jelly Bean is coming around for the Xoom in a few months (even longer for the 3/4G version..).
.. or I can just hop on the newly-released Nexus 7. From my perspective.. The Nexus7 has the same resolution 1280x800 res screen as the Xoom, while being smaller. This alone will result in a sharper and crisper display. Which right now.. after using the Xoom again, would be very much welcomed. I've been spoiled by high-DPI screens.
What do you guys think? Sell the Xoom, order the Nexus 7? Or stick around with the Xoom?
The end difference will pretty much be 7 inch vs 10 inch.
Other factors are negligible.

I will be out much earlier. On Google I/O (I watched it live on YouTube) it was said that JB would roll out to the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Xoom in mid july! Of course this only concerns the Google Experience-devices, not the Verizon-version. But as you said you have canceled your contract, so you could just unlock your Xoom and flash the Xoom-Wifi-firmware to get JB in mid july.
Then, like TheStickMan already said, it will mainly end up in the different screen-sizes.
Right now I still think the Xoom is a better device. It does come down to personal preference 10" or 7". We will have to wait and see this device with Jellybean . But you will lose things like HDMI mirror and USB OTG with Nexus 7.
Nexus 7 has no HDMI-Mirroring? Really? That's bad... Also the GNex has it...
Personally I got a Xoom (running CM9) and a Galaxy Nexus (actually running the leaked JB-release). And I thought about selling my Xoom and buying a Nexus 7.
Disregarding the point that I can't even order it in Germany yet, I think that, already having a nearly 5-inch smartphone I always carry with me, I don't really need a 7-inch tablet. A 10-inch tablet is better this way, even though I only take it with me, when I need it.
I don't think in Google's eyes the Nexus 7 is the successor of the Xoom. It an addition. And if you listen to the rumors it will get a successor by the end of the year, when the Nexus 10 may be released. Then, I think, I will replace my Xoom with a Nexus 10.
are u freaking nuts xoom rocks man :silly:
Makes no sense

Also no micro-sd slot for nexus 7 :silly:
Don't do it, xoom is better at all, yes, the nexus 7 is quad core and pure google but tegra 2 is a really good cpu and with xoom you have a great support in xda
I have a similar choice, although I only got my xoom last week so I can still return to the manufacturer this week.
I prefer the 10" form factor for tablets and the lack of hdmi out on the nexus7 is a bit of an oversight imo, although I can understand they wanted to keep costs to a minimum. Amazon are supposedly to release a 10" kindle fire tablet but without knowing the price/specs it is hard to decide.
This decision would be much easier for me if my uk model xoom was a proper GED like the US versions. I am reluctant to void warranty until at least six months has passed on any device before messing with flashing custom/other region's ROMS. Knowing the Xoom would defiantly get 4.1 in the next month or so would be a big factor!
Support for the Xoom is priceless!

Keep the Xoom
Like others have said, moving to the Nexus 7 you lose the SD card slot and hdmi port. I have also heard rumors about a 10 inch Nexus, so if you like the screen size of the Xoom maybe just wait.
I'm keeping the Xoom and getting the N7. Win Win....two 4.1 supported devices, 10" and 7" for separate purposes.
Def keep the Xoom. I actually like the fact that the Xoom has a rear facing camera as well. And a pretty good one at that.

I was also considering this. I want to upgrade the Xoom but i'm not sure whether to go with the Nexus 7 or the Transformer Pad Infinity.
I have a GNex, Xoom 4G and an Evo View [HTC Flyer]. All three sizes and I am VERY happy with all three. I would replace the Evo View but the stylus is too hard to give up.
Keep the Xoom. Just add the Nexus 7 to your tech harem. Then again, I don't have a lap or desktop, so I need the Xoom for productivity. You may not have that limitation.

Oh.. by the way the Nexus7 runs phone-mode. Xoom runs tablet-mode.
I'm sure this can be tweaked with custom ROMS etc, but something to keep in mind.

Don't take the Transformer Pad if you like updates. Only Nexus-devices are updated like Nexus-devices. Of course the community normally manages to build custom ROMs after some time, but those are better with the proper proprietary files. And, of course, most of the devs prefer Nexus-devices, so there is a wide range of ROMs and MODs available.
I wouldn't like to wait for month, so I only buy Nexus-devices or at least Google Experience-devices like the Xoom.
I had initially created this thread a few minutes after listing the Xoom on eBay.
I took the auction down late last night.
I saw the suggestion about just flashing the ROM from the Wifi-only one, and that's most likely what I'll be doing. It should have - but never really crossed my mind that I could just flash that ROM and ignore the 4G card's support that I wasn't using anyway.
Part of me really still wants the Nexus7 though
Though the part about it running in Phone-mode rather than Tablet-mode does bug me. I'll see how that goes after some devs get a hold of it though.
The screen DPI of the Xoom does still bug me though
I've bee spoiled by the likes of the Galaxy Nexus, iPad 3, and other beautifully-high DPI screens.
Hi
As this is the xoom forum and I have no experience with the tablet I thought it would nice if I can get your thoughts on what to get.
Cheers
P.s will I be able to flash the American xoom generic Rom ?
Xoom2 has slightly nicer screen apparently, is thinner and lighter. Also costs more, no custom roms, no ics, no fun.
Xoom vs nexus has a few threads, one right on this forum. Have a look. Basically, its 10 inch vs 7 inch screen.
And yes, you can flash any rom on Xoom easily.

Thanks, I have read them, they are more about upgrading or changing, but have managed to get some idea from them.
I'd still buy Xoom today, if that helps.
yes thanks it does, I can get the xoom for £250 xoom 2 £269 and the nexus£199, by people thoughts the xoom sounds like the best option. ;-)
Yep, Xoom would be best bet for a daily driver.
If you wait maybe 6 or so months, I'd say the nexus 10 will drop in around 300.
But... its gotta have rear cam, and external SD for anybody with a current Xoom to make a logical move. JMHO.

3G xoom
I brought a 3g xoom from carphonyshithouse, it was like a difficult birth the customer service was awful and they lied and a lot of other bits and bobs. But having used it over the past couple of months I would do it all again its a thing of beauty. I have installed ICS on it and it's even better these forums are so helpful it was easy.
Go get one :good:

I have all three, the VZW 32GB Xoom, the VZW 32GB Xyboard, and the Nexus 7.
It is a purely subjective opinion but the Nexus 7 isn't my daily driver still.
I use the xyboard daily. I like having the 4g connection when I want it. I commute 2 hours every day. I switch my sim cards a lot so that i can have unlimited data on my tablet. I prefer the 10" screen but it is a pain to carry around with me everywhere.
If the nexus 7 was lte capable I might switch.

Hi guys,
came over from the Vivid forum.. im making my christmas list, and i was looking at the TF700T Infinity, but its hella-expensive lol, and the Nexus 7 seems like a good alternative. Would you recommend this tablet? And also i read somewhere it comes with the transformers movie and $25 Google Play credt. Is this offer still available? And if you wouldnt recommend it, what tablet(s) would you recommend that are 7' or 10', preferably in the $200-$400 price range.
Thanks
I would recommend it bc it is easy to use very fast and if the battery ever goes bad from what I just now learned it is very easy to replace. But some of the cos are intermintint wifi issues but I think they have been worked out

Great Tablet
The tablet is AMAZING. However, I must warn you be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when you drop it on the floor, it cracks like dropping a glass vase.
Other than that, this tablet is absolutely amazing. What it does not have is external storage capacity, or rear camera, although who wants that anyways? You can already get up to 32GB which is way more than enough. I don't really see how much else you would need, but even if you do need more space, i.e. for multiple movies, you could just swap the movies out through a laptop or w.e. And who wants a rear camera? lol
I wouldn't really recommend any alternatives because this beats everything hands down. For this price, nothing is better. The next best alternative is the new iPad at 200% the Price, with 5% the increase in better functionality(i.e. memory card + rear camera).
i would really reccomend it its a great device with a great price tag and a great operating system
Sure, why not!
I was thinking of getting either the N10 or the N7, but i think i'll go for the N7 because of the lower price and smaller size.
For me, things that i miss on the stock N7 are:
- USB-Host support (can be fixed with root)
- a way to connect it to HDMI devices (i'm pretty sure, that someone will hack it to work with miracast, tho)
- vibration (unfortunately the chance to get that is very low)
But yea, the reason to get one of the Nexus-devices for me is the already big and creative modding community.
Thank you, XDA!
If you are trying to root, ROM, etc. I recommend a nexus device due to the vanilla android and massive development community. It will be easier to root, unbrick, things like that. Also it will receive Google updates for many months to come. The Nexus 7 is the best android device I have ever used (by a landslide IMO) so i would recommend the nexus 7 (maybe 10 but its pricey). However the transformer and is a fantastic device so you definitely wouldn't go wrong there, especially if you want expandable storage via SD card, that was a deal breaker of the nexus 10 for me. A 10 incher needs lots of memory for me also ide rather have the quad core. So if you really want a 10 inch tablet maybe go for the transformer.

Yep, I got a Nexus 10, so I'm doing a little trade with XDAer cdromo90 for a little Nexus 7. He wants to give the XOOM to his nephew for a larger screen, and I will probably give the N7 to my nephew for his birthday in a couple of months (his mom got a Kindle Fire for Christmas, and I think he's been bitten by the Android bug, so I want to make sure he gets off to a good start! )
As one of the very first people to own the very first Android tablet, I have to say it's been a great ride. I was one of the lucky ones who got a VZW 3G XOOM on day one at a discounted price ($200 off) due to a glitch in Motorola's system (You guys remember THAT? Ha! Still one of the best deals I've ever gotten hands down!). It was my first experience as an early adopter of any device, and I have to say it's been a great experience! To see Android tablets come from Honeycomb and grow up to Jellybean really made me appreciate being on the cutting edge. Not only has the XOOM gotten better with every Android update, but even to this day I feel like it's still good enough for a daily driver even with all of the new tablets coming out, not to mention I still think it's the best built, best looking tablet to this day (I love the N10, and a few other tablets have been ok looking, but the XOOM is just a marvelously well built piece of technology.) With custom Jelly Bean ROMS and the ability to overclock it, I felt like it still had a good amount of life left in it, and I'm happy to pass it along to someone who will still use and enjoy it instead of it sitting in my closet as a backup.
So, off I ride into the sunset. So long, XOOMers!
My old wifi Xoom
Team EOS is keeping my Xoom interesting with their Jellybean 4.2 nightlies. There still isn't much I can't do with this old tablet. And like you said it's still the best built and best looking tablet around .

I agree, but I jumped to the N10 when I began to doubt the Xoom would get 4G with JB 4.2. I'm glad I was wrong on that, but now I wpn't give up the incredible resolution on the N10.
The Xoom is definitely showing its age but its been pretty awesome to see its performance increase from 3.x to 4.0 to 4.1.
Enjoy the Nexus 10, I'm mildly jealous but I'm waiting for next year's nexus 10" and really hoping its built by Motorola.
Funny enough I can't see myself parting with my Xoom. It may overtaken by newer devices but it is a fine solid bit of kit and can just be retasked to other duties. I saw one being built into a car as a multimedia centre. There will always be a use for it until it dies

My XOOM is my baby and I'll never let her go. That is, unless, maybe Motorola decides to build a worthy successor. I refuse to say the Xyboard is even a thing.
I just sold my 4g Xoom for $225. I will surely miss it. I am sad tonight.
yep. i just leave my Xoom goodbye yesterday. I bought nexus 7 3g and I'm really happy. the top reasons to consider nexus 7 are: less hand fatigue, 100 % so portable, fast software update,good customer support( service centre just in front of my house), its an Asian product and cheap. reasons to dump Xoom: lack of software update, Motorola doesn't keep their promises, bulky,hand fatigue, not really portable, most of all, hard to play games especially when pressing button. so goodbye xoomers.

I thought about selling my Xoom when the nexus 10 came out. I decided to keep it and avoid the hassle of selling the Xoom. Also decided to buy a nexus 7. Really happy that I decided to keep the Xoom. I really like the fact that I have the LTE Verizon version. Also like the fact that it has a camera (and a pretty decent one at that) and HDMI out. It is starting to show is age a bit, but it's no doubt a well built quality device. I'm sure we'll never see key like pie, but Team EOS and CyanogenMod have kept the Xoom relevant with their hard work on 4.2. I'll be keeping mine for at least another year.

Hey, don't be that fast to assume. I own a lot of tablets and my iPad is almost always my go-to device, mainly because I personally have no use for widgets so most Android tablet launchers are wasted on me.
for sure
You never know. All Nexus devices are sold at cost.
One of the big downfalls of the N7 was the lack of Video Out. Although, now with Android Sticks and the Ouyas, I'm not sure if it is really needed anymore. My N7 works so well that it would be hard to give it up, but they are still super nice and possibly able to sell for $100+. Right now, I'd say no... but once it is released, I'm sure I'll pick it up. Something typically always surprises me and makes it a no brainer.
The price is low enough that selling your old device > new device makes it a great buy.
The sad thing is that I need to sell my existing devices. I have a brand new, in the box, Nexus 7 32gb and my current N7 32gb. If I pick up a new one, my old lady will flip her lid.
So I am in no rush to grab one and I will probably wait it out to see if it is really worth the upgrade.

The reason I'm considering getting an iPad (it would be a Mini, by the way) is because iOS 7 has actually impressed me quite a bit in day-to-day use. I've also fallen in love with Jelly Bean over the last 5 months or so of using my Nexus 7. That leaves me in a quandary where I'm not partial to either and there are some compelling reasons to have one of each, especially the combo I'm considering.
I was going to, but not anymore. I broke my 8gb n7 about two weeks ago and have a nice payout from square trade, but the issue is that now I need my tablet. I have grown impatient with Google's lack of released info this year on dates and prices, however its safe to assume its going to be more expensive. I decided to grab a 32gb n7 that's presently $199 instead. Its still a healthy upgrade for me and I can use my old cases and accessories. I also like to play with ROMs so the older device will of course have better support for awhile.

The lack of tablet apps kind of discourage me to get the next n7...
I've had a 16GB N7 for almost a year and it's been a great tablet. Besides one issue I had with it not charging it has worked VERY well. I've never had any of the (somewhat) common issues like screen separation and it's still plenty fast. With that said I recently returned a new 32GB N7 that I purchased for $199 at Microcenter. I'm glad I did because the 32GB model is now $30 less at Staples. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it - zero build quality issues and it seemed noticeably faster than my 16GB model. I just don't want to get stuck with last years hardware if the new N7 is a big upgrade at a similar price.
In my opinion, it's unfair to compare an actual, available device to rumors, so I'm going to wait for official specs & price for the new N7 before making up my mind which one to buy.
I totally agree with you that the 32gb model is faster, esp loaded with cm10.1 and lean kernel. I also had an issue with one if the 32gb units, the staples mgr and I figured out they had a batch of units from batch D20 that were all defective with various issues. He broke out a D10 and its flawless. FYI if anyone sees any issues with theirs and what batches to look out for.

IMO these company's need to learn to give us what we want. I want a HDMI out, SD card. If the new Nexus does not have it, I'm not buying it.
There are to many other company's willing to put out a device that has what I want/need, so they will get my business.
Besides, even the new Sero 7 pro does everything I need it do to. Why would I need to buy a new Nexus with a faster processor and better resolution when after all, it's just a 7 inch tablet, not a PC. Once it got to the point where HD movies and games played without pausing or stuttering, what's the point of a faster processor?
I'll get the next on when/if my 32g dies! Not before.

Am I the only one that thinks tablet apps look like crap on 7" tablets in portrait mode? On a 10" tablet, sure they are great...but that is because you use them in landscape. 7" portrait is just too cramped IMO. I am OK with the lack of true tablet apps on the play store.....once I get a nexis 10 my view WILL change though.
Also, depending on what the current nexus 7 is going for around here I might pick it up. Extra power, double ram, and higher re screen would be awesome.
