Note: I do not have any inside information.
I am simply making a prediction based on my intuition and some salient details.
I wager we will see an announcement from Motorola/Verizon providing timing for the LTE upgrade in the next 2 weeks, likely as early as this week.
Anyone want to bet against me?
(Gentlemen's bet, no stakes)
i will bet, I say we will not get anything till the end of quarter three.
I'm goin for the end of summerish, late august early september

I was thinking getting it out before the toshiba tablet on July 10th would help Moto...eventhough the toshiba us 3.1 it has some nice features. Moto needs a win soon.

I take that bet.....they already dropped the ball on q2...and you seem to be wrong often so odds are with me.
Right, then. Game on!

hehehe....thats funny.
They are still a corporation that has to report on quarterly basis. Any date that does not coincide with the end of a quarter is most likely wrong. End of 3rd quarter would coincide with projections for Holiday sales. A really good time to be ready for....the kind of things investors look at.
I'm hoping it will be here by September.
I will say that you are right, next couple of weeks. I think that they will start accepting xooms for mod maybe a week or two before the bionic, which means announced in the next week or two.

Likely it's the Xoom 4g with the LTE part pre-installed and possibly Android 3.2, otherwise identical to the Xoom.

From the info gathered initially its dimensionally bigger although not by much. Hopefully true that its just preinstalled.

Just accept the defeat. Afraid moto got us all on this one but just count it as a lesson learned
It can't be the Xoom 2. The Tegra 3 chipset isn't out till fall.
The part number is incremental.
Xoom LTE is in Verizon's inventory list. Xoom 2 is not.
How much evidence is necessary to throw a strong doubt on this being the Xoom 2?

A lot more than that? Maybe they are just going to eat the cost, bring in all of the "LTE upgradeable" ones, refurbish and resell them as 3G models, and ship out the newer ones to the poor folks who fell for the LTE roofie trick.
I don't know enough about LTE to say that this is not for Verizon, but isn't AT&T supposed to be getting theirs up and running [ROFLCOPTER] by this fall? Is it necessarily for Verizon?
It's just hard to say that it is anything but. The ruggedized tablet that was rumored didn't seem to have LTE, but that was my first thought. Either way, any LTE tablet that they come out with before providing their own early adopters with the "promised" upgradeability option is really effed.

AT&T is HSPA+, not LTE. The FCC docs show it heading to Verizon.
Seriously, you think the Xoom 2 would just be a minor Xoom revision with the same chipset? (Tegra 2, because again, the Tegra 3 is simply not out for months)
and LTE?
i say we get the lte update either the same week the bionic comes out or the week after
My money is on no LTE upgrade as the device will be obsolete and no one will own it or care. I also see a class action lawsuit again Motorola who will then pay us all 5$.
Has anyone heard of rumors of AT&T getting it anytime soon...

There's actually rumors that sgs2 will never be released in US.
Thr only rumors I heard were several months ago that it'd be released in March. Then beginning of June... then it went completely silent.
I just went and bought an unlocked, pure Samsung SGS2 for $675 shipped (free nextday delivery from Hong Kong). Couldn't be happier right now =)
I suggest if you have the budget for it, don't wait for a gimped ATT version and get the real thing.

There are quite a few threads running where the source of that info has been discredited. There have been pics of the Sprint version in the wild and the 2.3.4 leak has AT&T's LTE APNs and PNGs of their LTE logo it in it. So it's definitely coming to the U.S., the question is when?
It is supposed to launch Q3, so July, August, or September probably. I would say end of August or September, but that's my guess.
If it is launching with LTE as was suggested on this board, then it will be released sometime when att officially announces its LTE network in 5 cities at the end of this summer.
I think Sprint will be the first to get it as we have leaked pictures of the Sprint version already.

If the sgs2 was released in the u.s. With the current phone offerings it would destroy other oem's. To include apple. I bet that's why they dumbed it down and released the infuse.

Sigh we may never get it soon or it will suddenly appear.

Well it's not VZW since their version hasn't been through the FCC. So it's either Sprint because their's was spotted or AT&T's because LTE code for it is in 2.3.4. Based on volume, especially corporate accounts, AT&T would be Samsung's more important customer. But if AT&T's trying to tie it to the launch of their LTE network that could be later than August. Anyone want to start a pool?

Yeah, sucks that it's late. Sucks even more that there'll be another 4g tablet out on VZ first, but Motorola Mobility is feeling it in the stock values.
Who knows? The announcement for the 4g update could even happen early next week, beating the 28th...

LOL! About to be?!
Tomorrow, it'll be 5 months since I bought my Xoom. I expected that getting LTE into the Xoom would be Motorola's number 1 priority given the unusual nature of its work-in-progress release, but reality set in over two months ago when Motorola's CEO tied the Xoom getting LTE to the release of the Bionic. That showed me that our Xooms weren't the priority for Motorola.
Live and learn! And what this episode has taught me is to never trust Motorola ever again.

Well, that is speculation. We really have no idea.
What I do know is that the Galaxy Tab is going to launch next week with 4G out of the box.
And even when we do get the upgrade, we have to send it in and be without our XOOMs for who knows how long.
Yea this hurts. I wish the petition would have been taken more seriously than what it was because honestly....ahh nevermind I have to stop this crying it causes nothing but fights.

Seriously, trying to figure out why people are so upset.
Was there an expectation that the Xoom would be updated to LTE before any other LTE tablets were released on VZ?
When I bought my Xoom, it was because I needed an Android 3.0 development device. So for me, the primary purpose was fulfilled just by having the Xoom.
As in, 4g for me is nice to have but not the whole point of the purchase.
So you guys who are all honked off, is it because you really, really need 4g?
As an aside, this is also the first product I've ever bought which didn't have all the hardware capabilities at purchase. Has there ever been another product with a similar post-purchase upgrade?

Read the other post. Verizon advertised the Xoom as the first LTe tablet, which obviously is not going to happen. I bought my Xoom based on what they advertised. That has not been full filled so who is at fault? Its that simple.

They didn't, though.
They advertised it as the first LTE-upgradable tablet.
Edit: I do remember that Best Buy briefly had an ad which claimed first VZ LTE tablet, and that the sdcard was functional. The ad got posted here, but disappeared pretty quickly.
Best Buy has a terrible reputation for technical inaccuracy in their advertisements, though.
Heck at this point I was just thinking about upgrading my xoom 3g Verizon to the galaxy tab 10.1 because if u got your xoom thru Verizon and log on to your account it always says upgrade now.But I see no point when Asus will be releasing a tablet with Tegra 3 in October.

It's also interesting that the Samsung unit is shipping with a micro sim but the Xoom is full sized. I wonder if that will cause issues with people moving their unlimited data 4g sims into the Xoom to have unlimited data on them.

Time will tell...
So you have to wait a while for LTE - the Xoom is still better than the Tab 10.1.

I don't actually care that much, but with the 10.1 LTE coming out in just a few days, I'm starting to feel the sting of irony. I'm still not sure I even want to upgrade to LTE once the upgrade is ready, given potential battery issues.

does this mean it will be RELEASED that day, or the release date will be announced that day?
Since they are not announcing it till the evening I would think the earliest it would be on sale would be the next day. They may just say the dates it will be available with each carrier.
I highly doubt (unfortunately) that it will be released the day of or after. Think the GS3, the announcement was quite a ways, if memory serves, more than a month prior to the release on my carrier, Verizon. I think we may be waiting quite a while after the announcement. Here's hoping I am wrong.
October 24th? I was hoping it would be released by that time :/
my upgrade is up on monday. so do i cave in and get a GS3 (my current phone is 3 years old and barely usable), or wait it out for the note 2?
I know they want to make this a huge deal, but I'm thinking just giving us the dates would be way more hype than a party could create.

If I remember correctly TMO got the GS3 about a week before everybody else got it, so it could mean a possible Halloween release for the Note 2 on TMO based on a Nov 11th date. Would be nice since they released, then canceled the original note all the sudden. Seems like that would be a nice way for TMO to make-up for the mistake of a release of the Note1. Would make for a nice treat, but of course this is just speculation.
dang just release the thing already

Apple just doesn't tell you anything until its time to release, haha.
It works for them though because nothing else uses iOS so you won't buy another device because there were no details about the next phone. I'm already eligible for my upgrade. Had Note 2 details not have leaked I'd have the GS3 by now. Besides if Samsung launched within two weeks of an announcement I'm sure apple would sue for stealing the idea.
Hopefully they'll give some dates when they launch it on the 24th. Should be sooner, but at least now we have a date.
Better if the dates leak earlier. Also if it is our phone and not a new tablet announcement.
US Cellular states that they will have it ship out at the end of Oct, for pre-orders.

Just moving back to Canada and need to get a plan and phone so im leaning towards Koodo as it offers good plans.
Really hoping the production delays won't be affecting us Canadians too much. I'm keeping close tabs on Mobilesyrup for any news regarding the One's release. Didn't go w/ the pre-order through Rogers. Figured I'll probably get it faster if I check various Rogers stores the day it's released.

I did the opposite. I bought a One V from Koodo outright ($175), put my Telus sim card in it and was up and running in no time.
A Telus or Koodo "locked" device work on either. My "my Telus Mobility" page even shows a Koodo One V as my current phone.

Damn I am jealous of all you guys. I got an HTC One X+ about 4 months ago. I would love to have the One but I need to wait for the next iteration. I know for the vast majority of people the storage is enough, but I need at least 64GB. My one X+ has 4 GB free and it is 64. Here is to hoping for the next one. I love the build quality of HTC devices compared to other android vendors, and from what it seems this one is the best so far.

Yup, blackberries are unique because of BBM and the fact that their email etc has to be routed through their servers. That is also why all companies have smartphone plans, then blackberry plans due to the licencing fee. If it is not a Blackberry, it should be fine.

I am hoping the 64gb version of the One makes it here (in black). If not, 32gb is fine for me at least. I got the One V as a temp phone cause I was pissed last years One XL and S had only 16gb versions for Canada. Almost jumpsed on the One X+ but figured i'd wait for the inevitable spring / MWC ish flagship that HTC always releases. I am glad I did.

So perhaps it no longer is March.
