How is it that some wi-fi only model get 3.1 update before me?

[Earthbrain]

I have the 3G Xoom that I bought the second day after it first came out. I even bought it at the Motorola site.

My question is, how can some wi-fi model get the update before me? I still don't have the update OTA yet. Isn't the wi-fi model suppose to come out after the 3G version. I wonder how this update work?

I heard there is no such thing that wifi users will get after 3G users , at least officially from google.

I think it is kind of scheduled update, batch by batch. So individual case varies.

Hope you will get one very soon! And I did heard Verizon mentioned they will make sure their 3G users get it before end of this week?

Its not a race you get it when its your time complaining won't do you any good

It is true that complaining does not make the update to my Xoom any faster.

However, we all have a brain and we think. When thing doesn't make sense, we have to question it.

If the wi-fi version comes after the 3G version then it is logical that the 3G version should have earlier updates. If it is true that the update is done by batches, then the 3G batches should be done before the wi-fi batches. Wi-fi version came out about 1 month after the 3G version.

Now if number order does not discriminate between the 3G and wi-fi version, then that is another story.

That is why I stated in my first post by my statement of "I wonder how this update work? "

both models are basically the same. they were both "born" at the same time in a lab somewhere. just because the 3G version went on sale first does not mean it should get updates or anything special over the wifi version. people who purchased the launch day product feels a sense of entitlement.. and thats fine, however the Google servers dont discriminate and the updates are pushed out by a certain method Google is using. you dont have to understand it--thats just how it is.

it has been proven that the Google servers dont discriminate because in fact some wifi versions are getting the update before the 3G versions. i have a 3G version and the wifi version sprint started selling on may 8 and the wifi version got the update a couple days after my feb 24 launch day 3G version. both of which have gotten the update before you.

so relax and wait for the update. im in the southeast and depending on where you are could also play a factor. you will get it perhaps tonight or maybe you have it already since your last post?

I thinks its like lottery, Google said in a couple of weeks, that is the time to finish the roll out, if its June already and you haven't received anything then start crying and complain, in the mean time just hold on tight, and check for updates, or do like me and others, build your own OTG and do it yourself.

On a side note...
Just because you bought the 3G/4G version with 1000 years warranty and all the accessories and a contract for 40 years paid in advance doesn't mean you're gonna get it first...
Following that same scheme then The GOLDEN xoom's that were given at the oscars should be the first ones to receive the update. anyone heard of them?
