Looks like Costco will be selling the Xoom on Feb 24th and a little plus is that it will have a $35 mail in rebate to take care of the stupid 1 month data requirement...
Looks like I will be going to Costco on the 24th.. Great thing is Costco has a great return policy (90 days) so if price drops within that time period its definitely going back for price adjustment or just return and re buy...

Wow, I'll bet BestBuy will match the activation fee now. Let the price wars begin!
With the activation fee waved, the first month of service is manageable. Or perhaps it can be canceled within 3 days as others have speculated for a refund.

Doubtful as Best Buy cannot do anything with your bill. They might be willing to take 35 dollars off the price of the thing, but very doubtful

Is this true? If so I just jizzed in my pants. My family calls me a Costco Evangelist. I was all worried that I would have to return this tablet every 14 days at Best Buy until a wifi-only version came out.
With Costco I might keep it, or just return it once when the wifi-only version comes out. Costco is awesome, beyond their EPIC return window, they also have an almost unlimited return policy for things that stop working. I have returned things 12 months later with no problem.

Were you seriously going to return and repurchase a xoom every 14 days just so you can say you have the thing first?
I'm not sure that that's something you should openly admit to, just seems sad.

Sad, nah. Exploitive, yes. The problem is that I want a wifi-only version, but I need a tablet now. I have been needing one for a few months now, but was unhappy with all the options available. If they would do the wise thing and release the wifi-only version first or simultaneously, I wouldn't have to play games. Or if they didnt mark it up 250$

Best Buy's pre-order just got pushed back to the 20th, I'd be interested to see if Costco's does as well.

Costco is doing a sale, not a pre-order. BestBuy's sale time is still the 24th as far as I know.

Heh, good point, my bad =)

Take this with a grain of salt but I spoke with one of the phone guys at costco on the 15th and he said they expected to have it for about $100 less than best buy and verizon just like they currently do on the galaxy tab. I tend to believe that considering marking a $500 item down to $400 is a lot bigger of a cut than knocking an $800 item down to $700 is.

I talked to my buddy at the costco (yea i work there myself). The email said they will get the live demo starting on the 22nd. It also said starting the 24th they would get the actually product. It didn't say the price though. You WILL be required to get a month of service. The rumor is about $100 less just like the samsung tab. If i get anymore info, i'll keep this updated. I'm also waiting to get it myself.

Now how about the Wifi version $100 less at $500!!! Oh, what joy that would bring!
I really want this soon, price is my only concern. They better announce the Wifi version next week and say it's coming in no more than 1-2 weeks, I've waited far too long...I can't stand it...

So in order to buy anything from Costco you have to be a member right?

Not sure about phones and tablets but non-members can order things from costco.com but they add a 5% fee.

Just Pre-ordered From Costco

Hey all,
Up on costco site, ordered and email confirmation says should arrive in 7 to 10 business days. It might arrive later than the 17th but i am very happy with my 90 day return policy.
Hope this helps anyone that wanted to order from costco

Good info. I'm taking this one back to best buy pronto.

I`m a little concerned about getting this thing rooted without an sd card, and how many developers are actually going to jump on board for some good customizations. I also hate how long it takes for it to charge, i would plug up my xoom while running an errand and come back to a charged xoom. The screen on this tab is beautiful coming from a xoom anyways, i felt the xoom was washed out from the first time i cut it on. If the xoom was the same size and weight as the 10.1 i would keep the xoom just because how far it is along with development and customizing. As far as Costco man 90 day return and two year warrenty using ur AMEX card how can u beat that! Something better comes out in two months just return it no questions asked. Thats worth the wait!

I know Costco is awesome with the 90 days. I actually bought the transformer and loved it, which is why I know I will like this tablet more. With Honeycomb 3.1 being the same on both I really wanted the thinner, lighter tablet. I am using it for work and will be holding it like a clipboard for 2 hours at a time and felt the form factor would be much better for me.
Thanks for your feedback...

No problem. I dont know the weight of the TF but the 10.1 is not only lighter but more balanced weight wise than my xoom.

We all know that 14 days start from the date it was shipped or purchased from a brick and mortar store, but 90 days is so much better and a no brainer. Thanks for the heads up OP
Costco site says " Pre-order now and it will begin shipping early July " but that's OK. More time for users to post their reviews

no for 30 days and extended for premier for 45 days

Hmmm, wonder if Costco will eventually have it in-store. I pay no sales tax in-store but have to pay the tax online ..... then again, Amazon is "only" 30 days return but no sales tax but it's here a week or 3 earlier. Tough decision: save $30+ and have it next week or pay sales tax but get 60 days extra to return it and wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.
I think I'll stick with Amazon for now .......

How do you pay no tax in store?
I don't know about you, but I can't wait 3 weeks longer... the sooner I get it, the better.
Problem is I set my mind for the Verizon one and there is NO NEWS in regards to a release date.

Thanks OP. It's great news. I would rather pay my money to Costco than to best buy.
I don't want to buy online in case I want to return. I've already bought and returned both transformer and ipad2. Transformer - because I was tired of restarting it every day due to unresponsive screen. Ipad2 - boring, no flash, no fun, crappy maps and other minor ios annoyances.

No your not that seems to be all that's available at the moment and it appears to be the grey back version.

So is Costco offering the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in stores or is it online only?

$199 for the 16GB at Staples with $30 tablet coupon this weekend.

I bought mine with price matching at BestBuy this afternoon.

same. did they give you a spiel about this is an exception. that they don't normally pricematch a coupon.

YES! they refused to do it for me, and I even called afterwards and even though their site says they'll price match within the fifteen days, the guy refused to over the phone telling me that the site is obviously wrong bc they only price match at time of purchase. I was like k sure.. I'll call back tomorrow.

I ordered&picked-up then found out staples has the coupon. So I call bestbuy customer service (twice) to get a price adjustments
(also chatted once online). Got a woman then a young guy. Both sounded very rude and unprofessional, eventhough I knew enough
to talk nicely (when I need something done for me).
Sound like they don't get paid well enough to care, just getting thru the day to get paid.
I was about to get to the store and try a return/re-buy. But then staples sent me a shipping confirmation.
So that would be good 'cause I ain't want to deal with bestbuy anymore. I actually hope they improve to survive so I can have
more places to shop.

Can't fault Best Buy because Staples made a mistake by not excluding the Nexus 7 2013 and probably losing money on each with coupon.

I typically don't let myself get upset if things like this don't work because this IMO staples coupon situation is technically in the same realm as a price error - as mii7chy said, they probably lose money on each tablet sold with this coupon especially considering this is a brand new item.
Consider yourself lucky that you at least got an order through staples with the discount, there are plenty that didn't!

Squeezed my order yesterday just before they ran out of stock. I was afraid I was gonna get a cancel order but, shipping this morning

Staples refused to honor the coupon in their store. Manager said corporate sent a message out that stores can't honor the $30 discount for any nexus 7. That is BS!
I went to best buy to price match and the guy said they have been doing that all day. When he asked his supervisor to get me a nexus 7 the guy said they don't price match that offer anymore because staples refuses to honor it. This all bs!

Call your local best buy and ask first. Apparently some still are, but a lot aren't.

Best Buy wouldnt honor unless staples had inventory in my case of the 32 which they didnt. if i had 16 they would of. i went to staples to buy the 16 with coupon and the then sell the 32 but staples said the coupon excludes the new nexus 7 via few hours AGO.
oh well.. still have my 32

Same here. Depends on the store-employee. First staples I went douche kid would not take it. Went to another one and lady took coupon no questions asked. Also their website said out of stock but both stores had them (Salt lake city).

It sells pretty fast here, I bought it and the next day I log on their website, it's out of stock already...

Yay

I got the last 16gb at my local staples. They did honor the coupon(on Sunday). $199 for the new N7 is a deal I couldn't pass up.

Yupp mine just got delayed to the 29th here in Sweden on Tele2 I already had my Z1 sold so my old dumbpjone will have to act as my replacement for awhile.

It's not just UK, It's everywhere. I am in China and trying to get the Taiwan version and they are out of stock.

Delayed as well
I actually work in a Phones4U store and we've had no advertising through for the Z2 at all so it's likely delayed in stores a fair bit longer and those that pre-ordered will receive their handset on the 22nd.
Gutting really as I've the day off tomorrow and was looking forward to playing with a shiny new Z2!
EVERYTHING is about the S5 in stores so I really hope Sony get their act together soon or it'll be a massive head start for Samsung.

On three website it says estimate delivery 1st May so it might be longer than what you expect

Hmm, got a feeling the same delay may apply to Carphone Warehouse orders too.
Will be amazed to get an email on Monday to say its on its way but either way its gonna be worth the wait even if it is mid May until I receive the phone

It was a new contract, vodafone contract will be cancelled in the last month of it, three are doing a Sony speaker that is wifi, bluetooth & NFC enabled & costs about £119 & it also comes with the premium in ear noise cancelling earphones. Pretty decent package but to be honest I would rather have the magnetic charging dock than the speaker lol.

So far all I have is case from amazon sat there mocking me xD Tempted to phone customer services tomorrow and find out if they have aclue when I can expect it.

When I phoned them last week they said 10th April, so I said are you sure? She put me on hold for ten seconds and came back and said 1st May. I highly doubt it'll even be then at this rate.

Update
Just an update -
Anyone who has pre-ordered through Phones4U if you contact their customer services and complain about the delay they will compensate you for the delay.
I got an additional £50 cashback ontop of the other cashback i am already getting.
Just a heads up for everyone, might be worth getting in touch with the people you pre ordered from.

I was going to complain to Vodafone, but received a SMS this morning saying I made the first 3000 preorders for the free TV

My brother-inlaw works there so gave me 30% off the same tariff you have. Comes to about £36 a month with free phone, and told him I want a signal booster thrown in for free. Also the 2 years spotify.
I'm with Three at the moment so gave them a ring to see if they'd match it, best they could do was £41 month, free phone, free speaker, 300 mins, unlimited texts and data.
I still can't decide if 5gb of data will be enough? It is now, but once 4g arrives in my area, it'll be faster than my home broadband.
So hard trying to make a decision of phone/tariff which you've got to keep for 2 years!

Correct, but these were all sold out now, and it is still only 11/27 so none of these were eligible for the $50 credit which states it must be purchased from 11/28-12/1

..

Wow. I just ordered a 64 GB MB and missed the window by 3 minutes

Thats quite subjective, its 11/28 over here already and I'm sure the rep would let it pass by being only several hours if you're on the west coast. You ordered weeks ago.

I wish I could get it when I buy it from T-Mobile tomorrow, lol.

And now its finally sold out on all 4 models.
edit: its back

Just my opinion but with as bad as this launch has been, Google should be offering this promo to anyone that was able to even buy a N6.

They really should be. Mine hasn't even shipped yet and they've already offered a better deal.

So, I saw this come up, my phone is set to be delivered tomorrow. I wanted to know if I was eligible. The rep said no, device must be purchsed between 11/28-12/1 and at the rate things are going, none will be in stock on 11/28 so no nexus purchases will receive the $50 credit. ugh...

Is this just through Google when you purchase your phone or do you get it also when purchasing from a carrier?

Yeah Google and Moto failed at the N6 release. I just finally got a working N6 today. I should be able to get the $50.00 dollar Play Store credit!

I got mine from AT&T and so far it's fine. I've been going back and forth with the Edge. O would like that credit.

I just asked two representatives, and they both said that this was only valid for Google Play Store purchases.

Google Play and Sprint purchases only and I guess it has to be between a certain date.

i had that opinion as well, and emailed google about it. they were having none of it. denied after 3 attempts. f them

That is technically a $50 credit to make up for Sprint charging $50 more for 32GB version... if Sprint is dropping the ball Google felt they do not want to drop it and offered this.
If someone orders via Google Play, then great, but all who purchased devices from google play should be eligible since return policy still applies until 14 days are up... but, who would return the phone back because of $50 credit...
I may sweet talk their rep into getting the credit since they are shipping me the replacement due to Vertical and horizontal lines banding on my initial phone I got...
Besides that this phone is an absolute phone of today's market!!! Must have, and yes it is big

I called google about this a few hours ago. I told them I had ordered my nexus on Nov. 5 and just recently saw the $50 play credit. They transfered me to a nexus 6 device rep and he wasn't able to give me the $50 because i got it before the promo but he hooked me up with a $25.

Sprint doesn't charge more for the 32GB version anymore.
