Just got my X7501 from CompUSA on saturday. This thing is very cool. I'm going to use it everyday for the next week as a laptop replacement as I will be traveling on vacation from Florida to Minnesota and back for the holidays. I will be able to give it a good workout. I will be bringing my Tilt as back up though.
As a side note to anyone thinking about getting one of these, CompUsa is going out of business and everything is marked down 20 or more percent. That's why I went ahead and got the X7501. $719.99 plus tax.

Is this true for all compusa stores ?
If it is, I'm going out tomorrow to buy one !
AFAIK theye are going out of business nation wide, or at least thats what the guy there said to me. Here's the catch, no returns no refunds. The store here had 6-7 left and our sales tax is 7 percent so if anyone needs one let me know.
Figures, I bought mine full-fare at CompUsa 2 months ago. $950 including tax. Glad I didn't buy the extended warranty they were trying to shove down my throat.
Well, I got mine from CompUSA in August and did get the extended warranty. However, they have already posted what to do if you need the warranty after December and it appears to be insured and OK. I was sweating for a few weeks, though.

You should always speak to a manager. I was at a cusa one day last week and discussed the x7501. He was willing to match the Amazon price last Sept and would sell the tap plan for half off at that time. So attempt to negotiate. The deal last week was 20% off ($719)and he would add the tap for $100. I'm waiting for the 30% off deal, still had 4 on hand one being a demo. I'm planning to score the demo at 30-40% off unless someone else gets it. He said that he could likely make the next markdown by the end of this week. Good luck to all who score one before they are gone. This is one time where I'd likely take the tap plan just for screen and hd replacement.
I got mine yesterday in Delaware for $629. They have 2 left plus the Demo.
i ordered mine from mobileplanet.com for $629 at the beginning of the month...
Unit is sold, thanks to everyone who responded.
I let the deal at Compusa get the better of me and bought the last two. I've been reading this forum for months and have had the jones for an Advantage since release. I bought two, I'm keeping the one that was a display and showed some signs of use (it was in the box and I could not tell until I opened it) the other one (I need to sell, thought my business partner wanted it) is new in box. I did slide it out to make sure it would boot using my other battery. It is perfect. I would like to get what I paid $680, Plus shipping and paypal fees. It should be about $710 to $720 total to a US address confirmed Paypal address. Let me know if you are intersted or I'll put it on ebay end of next week. I would be willing to run the unlocker and load a different rom if you wanted. I could also load iGuidance Version 4 to the microdrive before I shipped it. I'm running AP Dual 3.0 and love it.
Yes?
What sort of warranty is there left from the retailer?
CUSA is not offering any warranty at all. They are selling out "all sales final" but htc covers with the manufacturer warranty.
I bought the Express Exchange TAP for $150 when I got my x7500. This is still valid as it is underwritten by an outside insurer. You might want to consider adding this if you still can (I think you have up to 2 weeks after the purchase date). Such coverage "should" help the resale value.
CUSA is not selling the tap plan any longer, they stopped when they started the clearance sale. I've got the AMEX protection if I need it.
I wonder what they would do 18 months from now if someone tries to exchange an x7501 under the TAP? I got store credit when my iPAQ hx4705 died but there's no store anymore...
Bought it

Has anyone that ordered from the Moto Store received their lapdock? I've called numerous times to Motorola Store to place an order and they keep telling me that either its not available or that they don't sell it without the phone. Those people are EXTREMELY rude.
i paid for my laptop dock on Wednesday last week, paid for overnight shipping. Still hasn't shipped. Price has dropped $50 since my order was placed. I emailed them and called them 3 times asking when it would ship or if I could at least get a $50 partial refund. Really ticking me off.

Yep. Exactly as I expected. This is gonna go bad fast. :/
mine is shipping today, arrives tomorrow.
What's really interesting is the fact that it went up back to $399 earlier today and if you check now, it's back up to $499. I placed my order last Weds as well and still am waiting for a tracking number.

Damn it. I was thinking about ordering for $369, but for $499... that is just too expensive.
Still gonna wait for the price to drop again, no point wasting money on something that is going to go down in price anyway as nobody buys it
when I went to the ATT store on the 13th to preorder my phone, the guy screwed up and pre-ordered the laptop dock instead. I didn't notice this until the 18th. i then went back up there to order the phone correctly. I couldn't cancel the laptop order because it went for packaging/shipping that day.
Anyway, long story short, I got both the laptop and phone on the 21st. Played with laptop for all of 5 minutes and immediately returned to my local ATT store. It's a $500 web browser. A slow & laggy one at that. Just my opinion.
Has anyone received a tracking number from Motorola? I keep getting the run around from them on my order placed last week... Not happy.
OT:
I've had the laptop dock since tuesday of last week... IMO if you get the package deal it's a SICK deal, I haven't picked up my $1000 Laptop ONCE since I got this thing... and I don't even have citrix at work.
I'm using logmein and it's SICK.
With the MIR it's 200 for the phone 200 for the dock... that's an awesome deal imo.
No idea on direct orders from Moto.
1.2.3.gone
The lapdock has disappeared from Moto's online store. Strange.
A supervisor told me they were flooded with orders and shipping has been delayed... I find that hard to believe but this is not cool.

Has anyone gotten their order yet?
When the xoom had the $207. off coupon I bit and put it in my cart and when checking out I had the free gel case and free 2nd day shipping and when I pressed complete they changed my order and charged me the $29.99 and standard shipping with which it's just coming today after ordering on the 24th if I hadn't called them last week who knows when this order would have been shipped ! well I called them and I said I would like to cancel this order and the customer service guy said I can't that it already has been shipped which it wasn't and then an hour later I get a email saying my order was shipped which it wasn't then 3 days later it shows up being in UPS hands in texas being shipped ! If you think this is the way a company should do business then their is something wrong with you ! I felt like there forcing this on me, I called my bank and told them of this the night of the first email and it wasn't charged and then I called after the charge and then said let them ship it and then do as they say RMA it back ! I could never ever buy from motorola again after this experience, This is going back, I have to wait for it to arrive >they (motorola) Says and then call then for an RMA They could of made this a little less painful and just canceled the order when I called But no they want to force this on me ! Screw them
Paragraphs. Punctuation.
You should use them.
Wow you're really complaining about this? It's the same when you shop everywhere, when it's sent to the warehouse for fufillment they can't go back and cancel it, you have to return it.
But in your case, you stand to profit atleast $100 by putting it on ebay after getting that coupon deal and you're still complaining. You could also get your shipping refunded through amazon if you wanted.
I do not understand people sometimes.
Basically: SCREW MOTOROLA THEY GAVE ME AN $800 DEVICE FOR $600!!! HOW WILL I EVER RECOVER FROM THIS INJUSTICE.
Yeah, I honestly think the OP is pulling our chain. How can you be complaining that you were able to get the 25% off?
This is what 12 year old rambling looks like.
Post count, it's all about the post count. It's easier to increase it with complaints than productive posts.
There should be a temporary complaint forum to put these posts so we don't have to see them.
Just refuse delivery for a faster refund and stop posting here.

What this board needs is active mods.
If mods removed the posts:
1) talking about tablets other than the xoom
2) complaining (for some insane reason) about getting the 25% off coupon
3) complaining about known limitations at release
I think this forum would be a lot more pleasant.
wow dude i would be just as pissed if i got 200 bucks off for scamming the company.
i kinda feel the op's pain... I ordered a xoom with a 10% off coupon, then as soon as I read the 25% off one I ordered again using that coupon, and immediately called to cancel my first order. The lady said the ordering department was closed until next morning.
Called back the next morning and got the run around from like five motor cs reps one even hung up on me. When I finally got someone willing to help and not transfer me to the beggining option menu, they told me it was shipped and could not be canceled. I had to refuse shipment. Needless to say it didn't ship until the following tuesday.
So I refused the more expensive shipment and kept the 25% off one. Then I look and they charged me for the free gel case. I called moto, got the same run around as before until someone finally
was willing to help. Now I am still waiting on a refund for the gel case and the original order..
As long as it all works out i'm happy I got the discount, as there are many that paid $800 for this device, on the other hand... DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS DIFFICULT!?
Of course you get charged for the free gel case! But did you realize that the price for the Xoom was much lower?!? In fact, I gained more than 25% off due to that! I don't know exactly what they did but here are my bill details:
Xoom: $571.09
Gel case: $ 21.40
Shipping: $ 0.40
Tax: $ 35.56
Total: $628.45
Now do the math: The Xoom PLUS the gel case add up to LESS than $599 which would have been the 25% off for the Xoom.
My total was $660... motor guy put a "high priority"ticket in for my refund. Still no money :'( but like I said as long as it works out, I camt really complain ;-)

You won't make any money on ebay. With 10% tax, the device was $660. Add in ebay and paypal fees and you'd be lucky to break even.

Never underestimate how stupid people are on Ebay. And remember most sellers don't charge sales tax, so you could buy a Xoom on ebay for over $800 and still get it cheaper than at the store.

LOL quote of the day.
I wouldn't make a new forum for this but since is here I'll give my experience....
I ordered around 5:45 est on the 24th, My order said it would be here between March 1st or 2nd. Watched forums and patiently waiting....After about a week I decided to call(On March 3rd). First call gave me a scripted response that it would ship today.
I waited till the next day and had no info, So I contacted live chat this time hoping they could fill me in. They escalated the issue and said I would get a call back.
About 45 minutes later I get a call back saying that the order couldn't interact with their system so that the order would be cancelled. So I accepted it and didn't put up much of a fight.
About 8 hrs later my order was still in my system so I decided to call back and see what was up. The CS agent tells me.....Your order is not cancelled and will ship today. So I was a bit happy to hear that yet still not convinced why I am told conflicting reports.
So Saturday morning I decide to call since I heard nothing. They said their order department is closed and expect a call within 24-48 hrs.
On Monday I get in touch with someone who puts me on hold for 5 minutes while trying to get into touch with their "Executive Order Department". He comes back and says he can't get in touch with them so he would call me back within 10 minutes when he knows something.
I get a callback from him about 20 minutes later.(I appreciate he actually did as he said). But his response was that they have no further information on my order and someone from the executive order department would call me back. I could of swore this is the same dept. he was trying to get in touch with originally to see my order.
So a cpl hours later they call me up and its the same lady.(One of the nicest ladies I have ever talked to) She continues to apologize and gives me the same info she told me Friday about my order forced to be cancelled.
This time I was a little more prepared because I was sorta expecting it since she told me that before. So I asked what I could do and she gave me a phone number to call and see if anything could be done.
I then called the number and started explaining my case.....the lady then responds that we had JUST talked a minute ago. I said that this was the number that you gave me to try and get this worked out. She then said Hmm......I guess the system is auto transferring you to me.
This is the 3rd time btw that a rep gave me a "proper" phone number to call and it ended up going someplace different.
She gave me another number to try and gave me her direct line in case I ran into any more problems.
I then tried the new number and it did indeed lead me to a salesperson. I explained that my order was cancelled and the runaround I got. She said I am sorry and you won't be charged. I said well "I want the Xoom".
She then puts me on hold and comes back and says she can place the order under the same price. She takes my CC and says ok it'll take 2 days or so to clear and we say our goodbyes.
Thats about where its left off. There is a charge of $600+ on my card now from the order but I have no receipt/email information regarding my order.
So atm my original order is still an open order with my CC and shipping sitting there but I have been assured they will not charge me for it. I also have a second one ordered that is supposed to clear within a day or day.
I would likely still buy a Moto product even though I consider this experience to be a nightmare. Anyway...Thats my little rant/experience with Moto.
Great deal but definitely a hassle!
And I don't know why people think it was "cheating" motorola. They offered a coupon. We used it! If you're in this forum I would expect that you know most online coupon codes have a limited number of activations. Once that limit is hit, the coupon is no longer valid. Just because we used a coupon doesn't mean a company has the right to treat their customers in this way.
I'm just going to come out and say it. You guys are acting like a bunch of vaginas. I got the deal, yeah I had to wait ,yeah I got the run around but the BS is in the past. *****ing about in a forum ain't going to do nothing for you. Suck it up and drive on.

Why is there constant flaming? This is the kind of thing that turns good forums into bad ones. The OP has the right to talk about his experience (especially in the General XOOM section) and maybe this might make it onto a blog site and be seen by a Motorola exec and force them to do something about it. I've ordered my XOOM last week with the 10% discount and just got a call saying it didn't go through their system so it will be cancelled. This thread was useful for me to see what my next step should be. Plus it's annoying to be charged $800 just to have the order cancelled. Thanks OP for this useful thread.

Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.

The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..

Thats a steel of a deal right there
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...

I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.
very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.
My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
