Is the Motorola XOOM headed to AT&T?

I dont know why this comment has been voted down.

Its common knowledge that Telstra in Australia is getting the Xoom early-mid May. This just sediments the fact that Motorola has produced versions of the Xoom on 850/1900 Mhz, because both AT&T and Telstra use the same bands.

The only thing Samsung has going for them is there screens there not known for reliability or dependability and right now they don't have even that fast of smart phones and then when ever I hear there lay over for Android I don't ever here anything good about it so like I say yea wait for them if your waiting to see a more impressive screen but if you want anything else from them other then that forget it

really?

Fastest single core smartphone? Samsung GalaxyS
Fastest dual core smartphone? Samsung GalaxyS-2
Best smartphone ive ever owned? Samsung Galaxy S

And ive been in the industry flipping phone after phone for 5 years.


dave,
yea, the xoom was never on my radar. it just never impressed me for some reason. Ive been playing with the LG Gslate for the last week, and even without the 3d gimmick its a pretty good tablet. Im holding out until something can do all my school ebook websites and apps. Then ill throw $$ down.

I don't get why people give thumbs down to a comment when someone post these comets.... the argument is legit... and HE IS NOT HATING, dam he is just asking for a more competitive price.... it Motorola had released a 16 GB version at a cheaper prize... and told the user directly how much was going to cost on wifi version they wouldn't be like that on first place.

I'm not allowed to show enthusiasm about an Android device since I have an iPhone and iPad... :-(

I know :/ I think people have the right to be interested in a device they aren't currently supporting, but some here take some comments as if we where hating or something, and the worst part is that you never know if its a fandroid thinking you have nothing to see/comment here or an ifan thinking you are dumb enough to consider the XOOM yet all we are is tech enthusiasts

my bet is on an ibot mad because he's buying outside of the approved logo. :)

i played with one in best buy. Its just like the Gslate i played with at work.. i like the Gslate slightly better though.. dunno why. Neither are getting my $$ yet... especially at current pricing.

OFF TOPIC:

just the man I was looking for, How is the Gingerbread update doing so far? I wanted to ask because some friends want to try it out but feel a bit discouraged....... I would have tried right away but its their stuff, so some feedback is appreciated ^^

Thanks in advantage

Dude, Gingerbread is the best thing that happened to the DROID X. By now you'll probably have to download it via computer and move it to your phone via usb. Beyond that the install instructions are the same.

A couple of things I've discovered: autocorrect is much more aggressive now. It actually tries to predict the next word you'll use sometimes.

Also, if you reject/ignore a call a list of prefab texts pop up which you can just select and send to explain why you can't talk.

And the phone still runs fantastic, with almost no lag or choppiness unless you're seriously multitasking or a heavy page is loading. Battery life seems to be good still; if I'm seriously using the phone (like Votermap, which uses heavy location and data) then the battery still drops. But on standby it doesn't hog the battery.

Yeah, let me know how it works for them, proto. I'm looking forward to hearing more feedback from other people as they download and install Gingerbread.

Yeah, man, definitely. I think you and she will love it. Remember to give it several minutes on first bootup when the update is finished installing. After that it actually boots faster than it ever did with Froyo.

To both of you: I uninstalled a couple of background apps I wasn't using anymore, and after rebooting and letting the system calm down to about 48 MB (according to the Futon Redemption Task Manager) I got a benchmark score of 1839 on Quadrant. I just ran it again after letting the system calm down again, and it's now scored a 1898! I got a photo of the former from my coworker and now I'm working on getting a screenshot of the new score.
