Hi,

I read that Xoom will be released in US on February 24, 2011 by "Best Buy".

Is this the "Verizon" version?

If I import that to Europe (The Netherlands), can I use it here?

Have the same question.

Really want the XOOM. Only problem is that i live in Sweden and will probably have to wait forever for the XOOM to be launch.

If i decide to buy XOOM from USA will it work here in Sweden/Europe?
Is it locked to Verizon?

In all likelihood, yes. So far I don't think there has been any info released as to whether the device will be required to be purchased on a contract, so if not, you can always import one.

Otherwise, I'd wait for the wifi-only version, which I am sure will be coming.

the only thing im worried bout is if its going to be CDMA only when it comes to import

if its going to get a wifi only version i dont see why not.
unless it gets a wierd charger that only works on 150v

I have heard about their being a wifi version but I doubt it will be out at the same time as the verizon version. I would imagine Verizon would ask Moto to hold off so that they can gain as many subscribers as possible :(

Yupe, and I hate when I read in the news today ... The wifi will be locked first until you purchase 1 month data subscription!

I doubt the wifi only will be very near soon ... I predict around june or july release here in Europe. While then, probably HTC tablet or LG have already hit the street.
