4G roll out...

[bworley50]

Yeah, I'm sure guys like you have NEVER head something come up that caused you to run a little late...

I have, and have suffered the consequences for it. Pointing to bad behavior to justify other bad behavior is fallacious.

here's a section from the link Bworley50 posted " Jha said it had made progress on 4G and plans to release the products in the second half."

I don't think this qualifies as a promise...

My main point of contention was found in my earlier post in this thread. Since you didn't bother to read it, I will post it again. This was an e-mail I received on 6/8/2011. Pay close attention to the language sent to me by the Motorola rep. This is obviously binding, and it is clear that this is a canned corporate response that was sent to me, but its genesis is clearly before the device rolled out. How? Look at the first sentence after the salutation.

"Dear Brandon,

The Motorola XOOM device will launch as a 3G/Wi-Fi-enabled device in Q1 2011 with a free upgrade to 4G LTE in Q2.

All Motorola XOOM tablets on the Verizon Wireless network are eligible to receive an upgrade to support 4G LTE. This includes those that have been unlocked; however, those units must be submitted for upgrade with the original factory software reinstalled and the device relocked in order to receive the upgrade.

For devices that are returned unlocked, Motorola will attempt to complete the upgrade, but may be unable to update the software. In these cases, the device will be returned to the consumer with just the 4G LTE modem installed.

More details on the process will be available closer to the upgrade availability.

Verizon has a site where you can enter your email address to get details on the LTE upgrade when they are available.


Best Regards,

Jennifer"

Why this did make me chuckle, please don't fuel the fire...

I was just getting out of the bathroom at a chinese buffet when this woman (average weight, probably 25 years old) falls right in front of the door. She makes a big scene of it and repeats over and over again how the floor must be slippery as the waitresses tried to help her (it wasn't). She won't even try to get up and I'm still awkwardly standing at the bathroom entry witnessing the situation. She's not even crying or showing visible pain, just dumbly rubbing her ankle and mumbling about the floor. She actually has them call an ambulance to pick her up. They bring a rolling cart/bed in just to get her into the truck. She didn't hit her head, a sprained ankle would have been the worst case scenario for a little fall like that. Standing in that entry way is a lot like how I feel reading this thread.

That is an example of a tort. It has nothing to do with contract law. Nice try, though.

You got that email on June 8th 2011? Did you not find it odd that she referenced the seemingly future launch date of "Q1 2011", which had obviously long since come and gone?

I'm done with this thread. Good luck with your absurd law suit.

K were done here. We all need to relax and watch the insults. He can do what he wants. I think I let this one go long enough for everyone to make a point. Bottom line if you want 4g hopefully its ready soon.
