or just because his iPad2 has a microSD card slot …
or just because his iPad2 has a usb port …
or just because his iPad2 don’t need some stupid software to copy music & pics …
or just because his iPad2 has software that was ACTUALLY made for it and not a phone …

oh wait … haha … yeah NEVERMIND!!!

They changed it, so that all contract options apply. Just give them a call and see if they will credit it.

Called VZW today to ask if ipad 2 was in stock and first thing they said before I got any word out was “vzw, would you be interested in learning more about MOTO Xoom today?” and I said “oh well you obviously have plenty of Xoom in stock!” and he chuckles..

What does that say about Xoom vs. ipad 2 when it comes to tablets? Stop fooling yourselves thinking Xoom is better. If you’re going to spend that much money on a tablet, might as well get a reliable, and fully functional tablet that you know you can count on and get your money’s worth! And no, it’s not that these people who invest on the ipad 2 are following the Apple trend, but its due to their knowledge of what the best tablet is in the market today!

I say this over and over again, iOS slowly but steadily improves over time, Android is just continuous trial and error. Remember this people and don’t say I didn’t warn you!

When I went to get my xoom at costco on the 12th, when they select month to month, it is completely zeroed out for activation. No idea if this shows up as a fee and credit on the bill, but that’s how it looked to me.

Basically the same story here, just ask and the fee is waived. I never pay it.

me too, it’s usually as simple as asking “can you wave the activation fee? _____ has no activation fee”

That’s all well and good but what about people like me who already paid the activation fee on a month to month contract? That’s enough money for halfway decent weekend of drinking beer.

I played with one at a BB store. They had the iPad2 (2 left). Everyone was looking at the iPad2. No-one even cared about the Xoom. I can’t blame them. The Xoom just sat there with all the other black tablets, while the salesperson was walking around with a white iPad2.

Poor Xoom. It went from best of CES to a fumble in only a few weeks.

Now If they could move the xoom from the very back to the front of the store…

Give them a call and just ask for a credit. I called yesterday and they took that, and a whole bunch of other fees off my bill.

Do you think there is any chance early adopters can get a reimbursement?
