Did you have to pay an activation fee with your Xoom?

Got my zoom at Verizon and told them that Bestbuy was waiving activation fee so mine got waived as well.

I got mine from Costco. All I had to pay for in the store was the tablet, but the activation fee and first month of service will be coming!

What Im having a hard time with is that (as far as I can tell) I got the Xoom, signed up for a 2yr contract and STILL didnt have to pay for activation...

That doesnt seem to track, but then again, given the wide-range of experiences today... I guess anything is possible.

Happy Xoom Day!!! I love this thing already.. its so pretty. The screen looks great to me.

I skipped the activation on the device and disabled data, and I will call Verizon later today to cancel. It looks, from what they said, that I will still get the Mail In Rebate...

I went to best buy this morning and picked up pre order and didn't have to pay activation fee or pay for month of 3g. Pretty nice.

Yeah. They mail you the bill. When I purchased the month to month I asked if they needed my credit card and they told me no, the bill would come in the mail from Verizon. I called VZ within 3 minutes of leaving the store and canceled the plan. I may still receive a bill but it will show a zero balance.

Looks like costco isn't budging, went to another store and no good without activation.

I have a pre-order at Bestbuy but called Verizon store and the rep there told me that I don't have to activate it if I don't want. I did tell her that I had a pre-order at BB and that I would rather buy from them anyway. She is holding one for me and with no activation or credit check needed.
