Since I am still waiting for ANY word on my Xoom shipping, I wanted to poll and see how many are still waiting? Indulge my Sadism...

Thank you mom.

I think it does, im tired of *****ing in the other one about my declared war with Motorola

Mine came nicely packaged Wednesday at 11am, free case and all.

got mine yesterday from fedex with the case

Should be here on Monday standard shipping

got it yesterday

got it an hour ago
Little laggy in the browser, but not too shabby

Got mine yesterday 2 day shipping.

Got mine today so you can close the thread now! lol

Got mine today. Poor packaging, xoom box was not sealed and xoom was slidding around freely in box. Everything appears to be fine. I love this thing, only complaints are the speaker placement and the screen contrast. Othewise, I can't set this thing down!

Makes me feel a little better knowing there are others out there curled in a fetal position waiting for their Xoom to arrive too.

You guys are a shining example of delayed gratification haha

Remember they may win all the battles, but the war isn't over!

Well add me to the received tracking info side. Should be here by tuesday.
Only 3 more days left of *****ing & moaning for me!

F Motorola, lol, that is all. Still nothing, no tracking or call back

I am also still waiting... I am tempted to go buy one locally to make sure I like it. If I dont I would return the one I bought and sell the one I got from Motorola for some money. But after reading some reviews I think it will be okay.

Man!! I thought some passing Elephant sat on your X1 or something Youtube-worthy....
Good to hear more people will get this great phone, maybe we get more useful panels by xda users =)
In the same terrible situation as folks without a confirmed date. sony in my country (Singapore) just did a pre-order for SEX1. But I am waiting for operators to pick it up and offer it with contract so that it will cost lesser. Anyway, i am not keen on what the pre-order is giving.

I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - Probably going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..
JEEZ ...
Where did you guys order yours from and how much did you pay for it? (include shipping and tax) I'm looking to get one but I dont know where is a reliable place to buy it. Anyone have experience with Clove?

Ordered my Nexus one

Hello All,
I feel like I hit the Lotto, My Nexus one is schedule to be here friday by 3pm. I got the confirmation phone call from Fedex today. Im coming from a G1. I feel so excited to finally have the N1 in my hands. I have so many Q's for you all but Ill start by reading the do's and dont's. But give me some love everyone...
You wont regret it, thats for sure.
I hope not the $576 was pretty brutal.
Great device - certainly worth the money with all of its capabilities.
Congratz! Once you get it in your hands, your whole life will change for the better!
You'll love it man... You'll notice you'll grow more beard too once you get it, lol... Well maybe its just me. hahaha! Enjoy!
I also ordered it yesterday, should be here today =D cant wait.
Using it in the Netherlands, hope i wont have problems :O
By the way I paid 580$ for mine... I think I got ripped off! lol...
To get you guys even more excited, Compared browser speed and I just saw my nexus one owned my coworker's iPhone 3Gs first hand, and he asked for a rematch this morning. He got owned again. Specially after using dolphin browser. thought I'd share.
It's an awesome phone. I was nervous about finally moving away from a physical keyboard, but I'm so glad i did. It also makes my iPhone friends jealous. Mostly because of the live wallpapers, lol.
Thanks Everyone, I just woke up and all im thinking about is when the Fedex courier will be here. I cannot wait.
mine got delivered on trash day and when i herd that truck at 9am I was soooo excited just to see my damn trash man :-(. do yourself a favor and dont looke window everytime you think you hear a truck.

Haha too funny because at my office I was the man with Kings Eclair Rom with live wallpapers on my G1. Until a coworker got a Droid. So Monday morning I'll be holding my head high and regain the title at work as, Top Phone Guy and Phone Guru again..

[Q] Xoom knock-off: Too true to be good?

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.

A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!
I want one...I love my Xoom but this other thing has the ability to "access various types of flies, whatever the source". Take that Motorola!

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

+1 on sarcasm!
Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.
Wow... Really? I guess there's one in every group. Try this thing called reading before you write. The main purpose of this was to show my buddy I wasn't the only one who saw this as bogus. Thank you however on your insight. We are all definitely a lot better for it!!

He was trolling.
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.

Taking the plunge

Hey,
This morning my xoom arrived. The after spending £430 of my hard earned money I started to feel rather skeptical as I had never played with any android 3.0 tablet or even held the xoom in my hand before. At 11.00 the postman arrived to deliver, opened the box and switched it on. The initial impressions is that this is by far to best piece of tech I have invested in. Thinking back to my ipad I really did question why did i bother ith tht junk.
Just a quick thank you to all who advised on my previous posts about the xoom, it's brilliant.
Have a good day, and jordan
Glad to see u like it let the modding and fun begin =]

same here, first launch event, matter of fact this is the first time i have won any contest, and supposedly they have goody bags for us invites,,sounds like a lovely few hours of asus showering us
I'll see you pals there! I've been invited by ASUS for quiet some time now! Hopefully I'll be helping or attempting to help to develop for the device if I have time! I haven't used Android in a while but I honestly can't wait for the release of this device.
I'll be there.
I'll also be there, look forward to replacing my OPO!
you guys have any thoughts on which version they will be giving us, my thoughts its gonna be the 2.3 processor with 4gb of ram and 64 gb on storage, my reasoning is they want to give us a crankin model so we can praise it with lots of love and joy on these forums and others,,steve

We will see when we get there I'm pretty sure you are right though, but let's see when we get over there! Oh yeah, and as I hear the bootloader are locked as of now so whenever you see an ASUS employee ask them when will we be receiving an unlock so we can start development! Heh.
I will be there as well. I pre-ordered 2 Alcatel Idol 3's also, so it will be nice to compare the two.

So that was a fun time. Met a few AndroidCentral people, a few from XDA, and a whole lot of people who won contests to go. I honestly thought it would have ran longer, and was glad it didn't. Pretty cool grab bag as well, and I was lucky enough to snag the red version instead of the grey.
Oh nice on getting a red version! I immediately switched the stock cover out for the view cover anyway, though.
I am liking the view cover...more than I thought I would. the rock garden was a nice touch...

Color doesn't matter. Look under the phone/usb tray in the big box. They threw in a window-flip cover.

(nod) I don't use cases either. I'm not keeping the phone, though. It's really nice. I actually like the form factor better than my Nexus 6. Unfortunately, both T-Mo and AT&T are awful here in CT. I'm bouncing between 0 and 1 bar on the Zenfone and have full bars on my N6.
I asked for red and they gave me a red one. I was happy

I overheard you say that immediately after you got yours, I asked about what other colors they had and the gentleman sure made it sound like he would have given me a red one if I asked nicely. But I wanted black
It's cool that they had a bit of flexibility.
Jaysus145 and I rolled up from Harrisburg not knowing what to expect. We were really blown away by the hospitality and had a great time. The Zen Garden is in my girlfriend's cubicle already. Nice touch by them including a T-Mo SIM as it gives people with coverage concerns a chance to give it a try. My coverage here has been pretty solid but on the ride home, it was very up and down. Coming from VZW, that might be an issue, but it does give me an option for when my contract is up.
Good to (sort of) meet some people at the event. Good times.

I was at the event as well and was happy to meet some of the people and get a free phone to review and play with. I got the red one as well...seems many people did not know...that they could just ask for a red one lol.
anyway for people who did not go or just like cool pics here is a link to my pics on google+ https://plus.google.com/+JoeyRiz/posts/2rJzdmLBGh8
