I actually just picked an VZW LTE 32gb version over the weekend… had a Xoom for the longest time, but ICS sealed the upgrade for me. Though the bootloader is still locked, at least I have ICS and Root. Xyboard is really nice, my favorite part about it is the Micro-USB charger… now my Rezound and Xyboard can both charge using the same cables!

I actually love my xyboard 8.2 because for me, it’s really the perfect size. I have the ipad and my husband has the nexus 7, but I like the inbetween size of the 8.2. I’m eagerly awaiting the ICS update but nothing yet.

Wow, so basically you are clueless. You talk about money then say it isn’t about the money. So who is the douche now? Your sense of entitlement is ridiculous. Perhaps you should yell at Microsoft for not sending you an install disc for windows 8 for free since you are running windows 7. Also, nowhere in his post does he say anything about 4g issues. Go find someplace else to troll where people are gullible enough to believe your crap!

Thay is beyond the point, we shouldn’t have to install leaks. With as much money a month we pay there shouldn’t be any 4G issues is what he means. It goes beyond the money too it’s the fn principal. Can’t tell if you’re an interwebz propagandist working for verizon? Or just some duche.. frymeme.png

The update is for the 10.1 versions only and not the 8.2

Perhaps you need to do some actual research instead of just mouthing off. If you look into the leaks, there are very solid ones out there with fewer bugs then the Razr’s OTA. .232 for the Bionic is extreamely solid with no issues to speak of and you can still get back to the OTA path.

Just because you find it convenient to install some leak with bugs, other are supposed to follow it? I pay huge money every month for these phones and service and VZW/Moto are supposed to take care of it officially. So, shut your pie hole. OK.

my xyboard 8.2 still shows no update available.

In all fairness, the Xyboard were ruined mostly by astronomical pricing, trying to force LTE versions down uers’ throats instead of wifi versions, and the horrible Blur HC. Hardware-wise they were quite solid (I especially liked the formfactor of the 8.2″ version) but failed to improve on the OG Xoom in enough key areas. I have a feeling Moto has built their final tablet. Otherwise, I’d LOVE to see a continuation of the Xoom line as wi-fi only, unofficial Nexus tablets.

What an utter disaster the Xyboard line has been for Moto. First, they saddle them with that retarded name and branding for the US market. Secondly, they drop the microSD slot that has been a hallmark of every prior (and subsequent) Moto Android device and put an atrocious Blur version of HC on the tablets and were late to the ICS party. Finally, worst of all, they get all tied in with VZW on some kind of rotten exclusivity and only sell the wi-fi versions direct from Moto’s webstore, with NO B&M retail presence whatsoever in other outlets.

A shame, really, as these guy charged reliably over microUSB, were slightly thinner and sleeker than the Xoom, and had better screens and build quality. They were just underwleming spec-wise and horribly, horribly overpriced.

More hearsay? Can we please have an actual Xyboard owner confirm this? I own one and as of 20 seconds ago, there is still NO system update available for it.
