the original xooms are being upgraded as we speak. some people are having delays, but a lot of people (including me) have sent their original xoom in and gotten it back with all its LTE glory.

As for the question...no i wouldn't pay $499 with a contract. I'd sell mine (contract free) to anyone willing to pay $499.

You'd have to be a very ill informed customer to pay this price. So many better options for less. What is Moto thinking? FAIL.

WalMart is blowing out its current inventory of the original Xoom for as little as $398. So far there are very few buyers at $200 off the original MSRP.

Two things strike me funny about this article/ comments. First, the picture of the Xoom phonearena has is for the wifi only version not the 3G/4G version from Verizon. Second, why does everyone bash the Xoom. I have an iPad and a Xoom. I would take the Xoom over the iPad any day of the week. It has a 1Ghz dual core processor, 1GB of ram and a 10.1 inch screen plus a usb port that you can use for a keyboard or mouse or a memory card. I am not sure why it gets such bad press.
