Free Keyboard Mouse for UK Xooms

[silent_killa]

Recieved mine this morning. It too says for motorola atrix on the packaging but works with the xoom just fine. Is there a significant difference in the package for atrix and xoom then?
Im using the 3.2 image for the US atm so the mouse works ok too, will be flashing back to 3.1 UK though when they release it early august since the BT keyboard only inputs in US layout (known android issue) and I cant recieve region specific apps unless I root and use an app to change that doesnt last on reboot.

I have mine all set up with UK location on us firmware.
Going to test keyboard when I get home from work and see if I can pull the keyboard firmware and swap the two keys.

Hi.
I got my xoom mid April 2011. Sent email with copy of the bill, received standard reply, then sent second email thanking them and asking if they can confirm if I was eligible or not.
Reply said YES.
Received it this morning and as per other members, keyboard works but mouse does not.
Tryed it with my laptop and mouse is ok, so as has been said by other people it must be 3.01 that is causing the problem.
Very pleased. But still want update.

got my keyboard and mouse today.

how do they value this at over 75pound.
tthe mouse is rather nice.

But i own two apple bluetooth keyboards they cost about 55.
they are so much better quality so if i had paid 75 for this keyboard i would have returned it and got another mac one.

but as its free its epic lol

Nothing probably apart from the word ATRIX Just noticed and thought it was amusing is all.
maybe they didnt sell as many atrix as they thought!

Android bug log seemed to suggest some engineer was working on non-us standard keyboard as someone wanted international support and also dvorak layout - I was hoping it'd be in 3.2
hoping instead that someone can rip the layouts out of UK 3.1 when it comes out and some how get it into 3.2

I've got the Paypal receipt this week but I don't have my Xoom's S/N and seller shipped before seeing my request. :/

hi Lothaen
(pre-order in march is not eligable they said only may/june/july
Maybe its my being very polite in my email or maybe its just the luck of the draw as to who is on duty at the time your email arrives.
But since my date of purchase pre-dates yours I would have another go at emailing them again.
Remember the old moto ( if you don't try you don't get)

 

[Blondblueyed_girl]

opps that should be moto with two t as in motto ( I think)

more than likely - i bought a xoom keyboard as soon as they were available from bestbuy (about a month and a half ago) and feel a bit peeved at spending the money though anyway
