Yeah, saw this. The guy shouldn't talk. Just use the device lol

 

[anon(52425)]

I agree. Hope he ads some more later on today. He beat Engadget and Giz.

 

[Mr Bigs]

I'm still curious to know if this thing will interact with an Android phone or not.

Holy crap, you don't need data activated at all.

rip off report!

 

[zmenchhofer]

[tntdroid]

I hate that charger! Them silly flip out ones came with my blackberry and it was junk!

 

[zmenchhofer]

That was an initial report but it really was squashed. Verizon just won't let you buy one without data

but that is the problem. You CAN get the Xoom without needing to activate it.

Yeah, they can't literally lock wifi lol. We knew this all along.

Well, actually, you cannot unless you steal it. If the only legal way to get a Xoom is by purchasing it, and you have to purchase it via a merchant that requires you to activate at least a month of data, then by definition you CANNOT get a Xoom without needing to activate it.

I'm over here wondering the same thing.

Where is the SD slot? Or was that the SD slot and not Sim?

 

[RUSH]

I think Bob does the best unboxing of devices to me. I'm thinking of broadened my horizon by getting involve with other devices other than my EVO.

It's the slot for both. A previous hands-on referred to it as the slot for the microSD and SIM.

Getting mine at Best Buy. I will NOT let them activate it. Even if I have to pay the $20 I will sign "DURESS" and "I do not agree with and will not have a data plan," on the receipt. Then I will activate via wi-fi and use the Droid X as a mobile Hot Spot for 3G. That way I pay VZ $20 per month for 2GB and use Wi-Fi. Sound like a plan?

Good luck with that.

Great plan! And if you're in front of me in line just tell him not to bother putting it away when you won't be able to buy it, I'll take it instead.

One thing I am glad to see is that the charger has a decent length of cord on it. I am so tired of those 3 foot long charging cables.
