[Q] Sooo does this device have GSM capability?

[evillttest]

I see it nowhere displayed, so i am fearing that no there is not. I don't understand why they would leave such a thing out, a tablet is not a tablet in my opinion until it's full media hub, i.e. i need to be able to anything with it, including making calls.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, if it would have. It does have SIM slot for the data connection obviously, and seeing android is an open platform, if the motorola does not have the capability, would any future open source updates do have it ?

GSM-capabilities are so 2010. 2011 is the year of Google Voice.

I never knew people were planning on using their tablets to entirely replace their phones. And apparently Verizon nor T-Mobile was either =/

This simply sounds redundant. In my opinion this is in no way what they are for.

Could you imagine holding this thing up to your head?

Will there be a GSM version of this tablet? not just CDMA
not asking to use it as a phone, but connecting to the internet...

I am curious too. Can I use 3G services from a GSM service provider or will I have to necessarily use a CDMA provider????

The Xoom will also be released in the UK, where GSM is used. Therefore, there will be a GSM version.

From the UK's where I'm going to order my Xoom from, as as always, a Dutch release will take far too long.

I'm just going to use my galaxy s tethering on it to get internet if no wifi is available.

I'm a little drunk tonight. You tether with your galaxy s? I'm going to tether my xoom with my weiner
