[Q] Can't buy xoom at motorola store now, what does it mean?

The "BUY NOW" and "ADD TO CART" buttons for xoom are disappeared now.
But the accessories of xoom can still be purchased.
Maybe it's about the price ?

What do you mean, "Maybe it's about the price ?". IS IT FREE?

the price of xoom is disappeared, so maybe they are changing the price.
you can see at here: http://www.store.motorola.com/b/2657025011

I think he is speculating/hoping that the prices are in the process of being changed, rendering purchase through the website temporarily unailable.
Considering that this is the release day for the ipad 2, the timing would be appropriate, but a better ploy would have been a big discount this morning, just before release of the ipad, to undercut Apple's sales.

Like Digital Man said, I think its a response to the iPad 2 launch. We'll see how big the drop is. Here's to hoping to drops more than $100 lol.
It is really weird. Its the only product in the whole store that is like this. And its on every page.

case: $39.99
keyboard: $69.99
xoom: priceless

Probably out of stock, not a price drop. They would have too many returns and angry people this early in release.

Drop it $100 and offer a rebate for people who purchased it already. I mean $100 x the few people who are buying it (article on here, not me sayng) isn't a big deal. A $200 price drop would start moving this off the shelf.

Its probably sold out. Same thing happened when I tried to order a black gel case with the Xoom.

Out of stock? Hmm how few of these things did they make? lol there isn't exactly outlandish demand... And wouldn't it say 'out of stock'? Idk just being hopeful for a drop in price I guess.

I noticed the same thing on Amazon a few hours ago... the zoom and all accessories are listed, but no price on the tablet. No chance every place is out at the same time without engadget making a front page thing out of it. It's gonna be a price cut. 200 off would be perfect. (I can dream...)

Bestbuy.com is still showing a price but it says "in store only" as it has all along. strangely, when you search for in store availability, it shows all stores in range but says "in store only" instead of "in stock" or "out of stock"

25% off coupon and $100 off coupon could have depleated their stock on hand.

More speculation incoming. This comes along with the news stories today that sales of the Xoom are "underwhelming" and analysts predicting large production cut backs and/or price drops.

Might not be a price change they are preparing for. Perhaps they are editing the site to include two hardware options: 3G and the WiFi only version.
Just speculation, however note there have been claims that Staples will have the WiFi only version as early as April 1, which is only a few weeks away, so it makes since that it will appear on the Motorola site soon.

drop the price so I can get my price match..lol

Would they really stop allowing people to buy the 3G version to make an edit for the WiFi version over 2 weeks before putting up the WiFi version for actual sale? makes no sense. You don't have to stop purchase of the 3G version to put up a new product in the WiFi version.

Oh & 10 char

How about them holding stock to install 4G in their current inventory? That along with Flash official next week would allow them to market it as the only "Flash 4G tablet". They would need to hold back inventory during the stock upgrade, but still sell off what stores already have. They new shipments would show 4G and Flash, which also could require packaging upgrades for marketing purposes.

Go onto the Motorola site now, and the Xoom isn't even listed. Something is up. I'm glad I bought at Best Buy and have Silver Rewards. 45 days to return gives me plenty of time to see if there are price drops or hardware changes.

I have called two sprint stores and went by my local sprint shop. All three of them had no clue as to what i was talking about. They all sent me to the same online web sign up for notifications. Just FYI

Word on the street the date is June 4 when the phone drops.

Already pre-ordered and was #1 at the store. They didn't even know the preorder process but they figured it out eventually.

+1. Got to see how locked down it is before I make the move. I have a lot of confidence in the XDA folks being able to hack it but if encryption is involved that is another story. Also strongly considering the Galaxy S2, but stil leaning to the 3D.

I went to the Sprint store by my job and they said they knew nothing about accepting preorders for the Evo 3D yet. I went to the Radio Shack by my job and asked them how many people had gone there to preorder it and they told me none. So I paid my $50 and reserved my spot in the front of the line.
I'll be getting it on release day without fail.

Pre-ordered mine today at Best Buy, no problem at all. Just waiting for the official launch now! If the bootloader is locked then I may wait and use the $50 gift card for something else.

Tried to pre order at sprint. Rep stated not yet because E3D not coming out til July......that's the story

I love the communication between Sprint and their employees. Scary, really...

Went to 2 sprint stores and a corporate store all said they have no idea what I was talking about
from my phone duh

I pre ordered mine today @ Best Buy. Lady didn't even know if they were doing pre-orders yet, she had to ask another guy working. She found the SKU for it after digging forever on the computer. All good though...
I heard spring is doing instant rebates now but last year was awesome with the evo, they called me and set up an appointment for me to come in so they don't have a million people in the store at the same time. Was pretty happy with the experience there.

GS3 in AT&T Stores

I have looked around and haven't really found a thread on this, so I wanted to start one.
Can people who have been to their local AT&T stores report what the sales reps are telling you about GS3 availability?
My local stores are now saying they will be in stock on Monday, June 25th. Is this consistent with what anyone else has been told? Has anyone actually gone into an AT&T store and found that they did in fact get them in stock today?
Please report your findings.

the ultimate insult for pre-order geeks like myself would be to be able to walk in a store and buy a phone off the shelf that millions of people who pre-ordered are still waiting for.....that would be a PR nightmare no matter what carrier you are on
if I were PR for any of them I would tell all the stores to keep them "on backorder status" until the majority or all pre-orders are fulfilled

I've always walked in and bought the first one on release day
Don't bait the trolls.

Don't know what you mean by this...I'm not trolling, just want to know when I can walk into a store and buy an S3.

i have talked with three at&t's stores here in houston..........
all of them had said, the 28th....and that they were getting 2 order/shipments....one for pre-orders and one for instore(first come first serve)

I was in my local AT&T store today because the sim card sent with my phone wasn't LTE so they swapped it out. They had no idea when the phones were coming in but they had just got cases while I was there.

All I can say is this:

well poop

Went to my local store twice in the last week and called another. My store told me that it was going to be available in store on 20th June. On 20th I was told that they have no idea when its coming and check back on 24th. One store that I called told me that they had no idea because there is no form official communication from AT&T. Both stores didn't even have display models.

I understand that people who pre-ordered feel entitled to have the phone before anyone else , but there have been plenty of launches where people got their preordered phones after the launch date. Preordering doesn't put you first in line, it guarantees you a device... Ugh... Get ourselves.

but if there is enough stock to "launch", assuming you mean phones in stores for walk in buyers, there was enough phones to fulfill preorders, which came first...

I have checked my local store several times and was told the official release date would be June 28..
And would not sell me one until then....

I had mine for a couple days. But its the same here where no one is selling it. Out of all the places I went only one even had a couple cases. Good luck getting it. The GS3 is one of my favorite devices. And is worth getting for sure.

actually that got me kicked out of a victoria secret, maybe I shouldn't

How do you cancel an order placed yesterday?

Honestly not sure its worth the wait. I'm kinda of content with my at&t htc one x+. Battery life, performance, etc. Dont see a whole lot of development for it in its forums yet but as long as I can get some cm10.1 soon I'll be good. Honestly the only real feature besides cm10 that interested me about the nexus 4 was the led notifications but not so sure thats even a big deal, maybe I'll keep the htc one x+ for now, not sure. Either way how can I cancel the order?

There should be a Cancel link under the Options column on the right.

I am pretty sure no one here will try to convince you not to cancel.
Edit: It's not too late until they actually ship the order.

Oh ok thanks so I got a few more days to think about it I guess.
I'm not asking for anyone to convince me not too lol.

The thing is that the cancel link only works for like 1 hour after you order. I've tried to cancel one of my N4s for 2 weeks now to no avail. If I use the link now it says they tried to cancel but its past the time they can. So I would make sure u still have time since your from a different ordering group than me.

Ok I might as well as here? Should I keep my order and use the at&t htc one x+ until the nexus 4 arrives? I still got like 3 weeks before I have to return this htc one x+ to at&t. I'll take opinions now, maybe some of you guys have had a chance to use both devices.

I called and the representative said if you did not cancel within an hour you will have to wait until the package gets to your house and decline it.

This is not true. The rep fed me the same bs line. Go to... your original email receipt. Read the 3rd hyperlink after the total. Click, profit. you have 48 hours. I told the CS rep that if they didn't cancel it I'd just contest the charge with my bank and get my money either way. No way I'm going to let someone hold onto 400 bucks for 5 weeks.

So I guess I cant even cancel if I wanted to now. I'll just stick with my order. I see people who ordered on the 27th with a 1-2 week shipping estimate are already having their nexus 4 shipped. i wonder what that means for the 2-3 week group.

If you were to delete your card from your google account would it cancel the order? I mean anyone try cancelling via phone successfully? What other ways can you cancel an order?

They lock the payment before your order is placed, so removing your card won't do anything.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

is you cancel there is a 15% restocking fee and you will have to pay for your own shipping IFF it is shipped.

hmm this is weird.. I was able to cancel my 32gb Nexus 10 a full 1.5 days after buying it.

There are a lot of people wrong here. There is no restocking fee for canceling. In fact, it can make it to your door, or you can call UPS while it is in their possession and force them to send it back, and there is no restocking unless you opened the "package" Google says, which I'm assuming they mean is the phone itself, but I can't say for sure on this.

Hogwash, I say!!!

Yes, I sat on my laptop this morning, researched product numbers for items, and proceeded to photoshop an electronic receipt just so that I can reap the acceptance of everyone on XDA.
It was a serious question. I wasn't sure if this was an actual promotion or if I just got extreeeeeemly lucky.

Colossal screwup perhaps? Seems odd they would discount the more expensive of the two. I could almost see it being the other way though... buy a Note 3 outright and get a free gear.
Let us know if you get contacted about it. If this is actually true, there are going to be a LOT of PO'd people I would gather.

So far I haven't been.
What's weird is that the day I got the phone, they didnt have the Gear in stock yet so the saleswoman told me they'd ship it to my house (that was friday). Monday came along and I was curious about a tracking number so I called Sprint. Sprint had no idea what I was talking about. Called the store back and the saleswoman who sold me the phone said they were shipping it straight from the store.
This wasn't a third party Sprint store either, it was a corporate one.
I'm going to go with the theory that she wanted me and gave me a freebie. Regardless, I don't get the hate for this watch. I think its pretty damned sweet.

I don't get all the negativity surrounding the Gear.
I love this thing. Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat all have apps to access their services (if you're into that). The phone call clarity is actually better IMO than speaker phone on the Note and loving the camera function.
