wifi isn't locked on 3g/4g xoom!

i played with one today. there is no need to pay for data for a month before unlocking wifi. that's just a bunch of bullocks. once you pay for the hardware, get that wireless tether going!

Yeah, its not required to unlock the wifi, but it is required for purchase based on conversations with BB and VZW. They will not let you walk out the door without activating the data service.

Not a big deal though, just walk out, cancel the service and get your money back.

They are. The computer department might have displays but everything will be rung through the mobile department.

And computer associates should be by now fully trained on activations and they do have the equipment to do it.

whats to stop you from refusing the activation? i mean you paid the money it's your device how can they tell you what to do with it?
