Ordered mine 4 hours ago. Does shipping vary or has everyone got the same? My address is rural and I'm pretty sure UPS is the only one who delivers out here considering that's how I got my nexus 7 and my otterbox for my phone

I have an RR address as well. It was shipped on FedEx from somewhere in Jersey. I'm in NEPA, so was basically overnight shipping once it shipped.

I bought 1 with 15 minutes left on the clock... I was not sure about it but when I saw the replies on this thread I pulled the trigger. :D
I hope it gets here soon!

Got mine in today but I'm a little disappointed though. I know its refurbished but the one I received is pretty beat up around the edges and has a pretty good sized scratch in the middle of the screen. Looks like someone must've had a sticker on the back as well as I can see the outline. Hope you guys have better luck.

Unfortunately I don't think I did. Mine is pretty beat up on the back lower panel (it looks like somebody was trying to pry the thing apart). I could slip it into a case and forget about that except for the fact that the charging connector is apparently broken and it won't charge. I'm going to have to see what I can do to get it exchanged.

Here is a picture of mine. You can see those deeper scratches in the middle of the screen and the beat up edges. I think one of those gel cases will cover up the edges but not much I can do about those scratches.

Same thing with mine. A couple deep nicks and the bezel in places is stripped down to the metal. I sent an email with pictures attached, and said that I wanted a partial refund, or else i was going to send it back.

I got one Xoom. But on box it says MZ600 model. If you check Motorola website this model can support 4G LTE.
All get same model or different model? When I purchased it says 3G but model numbers (MZ601, MZ603, MZ605).

It's upgradable to 4G lte. Well... It was. They stopped doing it in April so you'll have to stick with 3g. I'm just going to port the eos wifi version and use it as a wifi tablet. Screw Verizon and they're high prices

I bought one from Daily Steals and very happy. I also saw same deals on EBay.

I received one of these too (wanted to replace the cracked screen on my original xoom and NO ONE I've tried ordering from has actually shipped me one). When I got it I saw how much easier the 4g module was to swap out (physically at least) than the screen. Unfortunately ended up with the baseband being "unkonwn" and neither Vzw or Motorola knew how to help me. So I decided to unlock it, install the Team EOS touch recovery, install the latest CM9 build and then install radios.

Lo and behold my new (to me) Xoom is now a 4G Xoom using my 4G SIM card from the old Xoom. So it seems one COULD theoretically do a DIY upgrade to 4G if the 4G modem where available for purchase somewhere. Of course you'd have to get data service from Vzw but I think you could get that on a pay-as-you-go plan (though haven't seriously looked into that as I have it on contract).

ok,thanks! I think it is still worth it for 4g xoom though. Can't really beat that price. Does anyone know the 4g pre paid pricing?

Me too... lol

I think they charge something like $30 a month plus whatever data package you go with. Probably 2-4 gigs would be sufficient so long as you use WiFi for pandora and Netflix. The speakers are pretty damn nice compared to those I am used to on my little NookColor.

I didn't and don't plan on getting a data package btw.
