Cant anything mentioning september on the product page.
However it does have a delivery date of 9th April.
Thats only 1 month away!

Very excited, and I want one so bad. But Im abit nervous cus there's hardly any apps yet. I wonder how many decent quality apps (proper apps i mean) will there be in 6 months?
I appreciate its a brand new device etc. I just hope we get apps quickly.
Not sure Im liking this annual cycle of technology, £499 is alot of money to be out of date 12 months later and trumped by new hardware.

In the mean time, is it worth it, just for the "sofa browsing" when I already spend most of my time infront of my pc, at home and work?

I am hoping they drop the price before next month slightly to be honest...

Any info about the wifi + 3G availability in europe please ?

Ok Moto Wifi only version needs to come to the U.S., thanks!

£499 is way over the odds considering you can get a 4G unsubsidised non-discounted one in the US for less than that. Dixons group are notorious for overpricing things and you would have to be a sucker to pay that price for it.

If they get enough pre-orders then no they won't. In fact they originally priced it at £449 then quickly withdrew it and added £50.

Everyone, if you order from Dixon's there's a discount code to get 10% off. Just ordered mine at £449.99

Code is DXPC10 but only available until 8th March.

You're forgetting that everything in the UK is priced over the odds, it's not just Dixon's that do it.

Is the money taken from the card straight away?

Not sure. I used a credit card so I'd only see it in my next statement.

 

[s.morris]

I read some where that the UK version had silver backs, can any one confirm? also presume we can send back if not happy, Would be nice to see in the flesh before putting up the money

Redmongoose, I personally prefer without a contract as I can just use my wifi hotspot on the phone.

I'm wondering should I cancel my order and re-place it - but they have taken the money already so if it takes awhile to get the money back in my account then I'm stuffed as I can't go losing £1k from my account while I am waiting for them to sort out refunds....

That's what I did also using quidco getting 3% cashback making my xoom cost only £436
