[COBug]

It appears that there is a data requirement on the website

I just tried to order online. I am confused or they are confused or we're both confused.

they are extremely confused at vzw right now. It took 3 techs to figure out I could do a data plan w/o having to sign a contract.

I got one today without the data plan on the device and got the MIFI 1 year plan so i can use my laptops and the xoom also if i had the data plan on the xoom i only would be able to use the xoom so i got the $35 plan on the MIFI

 

[Frankiebonez]

So is there a possible date for this to be confirmed? If this is true I'm going to buy one!

 

[Fireball]

Confirmed ? Do you mean. Are they available yes their availible right now


I picked one up yesterday and I am posting this thread with the xoom


Their really nice I got myne for $599. Plus tax. And I got the mifi for free with 2 year contract on the mifi. So I can hook to the device wirlesssly through
The mifi a d it does the same thing their is no contract on the xoom itself only with the mifi witch works li,e a little phone and wirless router


I needed this type of app because I use laptop and you can connect up to. 5 devices with the mifi

Well I got mine on Thursday and I can assure you, I had to pay the monthly and only had the activation fee waived because I know the Verizon feller through working with his brother.

I also only got the $599 price because of the two year service plan. It is $799 without that so I don't understand how you got that price without a plan, Fireball.

The Skype worked awsome just like you said it would i just needed some type of phone for the device it didnt have to text but a phone or a way to comunicate with other cell phones and land line phones would be just as good good call on the skype
