Xoom subsidy discount? What's up with that?

reply from the customer service: "I've checked our current price and it is $799.99 with a plan from Verizon and $829.99 without a plan. This price is correct as it is what we are currently able to offer for the tablet. Currently, Verizon is offering it at a lower price. Unfortunately we cannot match their price. "

Bit the bullet at $1139. If the rebate you speak of comes tomorrow, i'm sure i'll be kicking myself. Would be $999 !!

I got it from the Q for under 400.00 (incl. tx, s/h) and on 5 ez-pay installments. EZ pay helps & makes up for having to pay s/h & tx. A friend of mine has 1 & he says he likes it, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine--especially for the internet apps. I still can't figure out why AMZ doesn't have it available yet. Seems it will be old technology before they get a supply.

You were happy to buy it for the price you paid, but are unhappy other people get it cheaper???If you didn't want to pay the price you did, you could have waited knowning that the price of all technology drops. The rumours were out there as well - you just needed to do some searching.Would you have been grumpy if they waited another few months? If not, you should ask yourself if those extra months are the difference between you being happy or being angry.

I did have the same problem but contacted Amazon support. They were very useful and put a credit the equivalent of the discount on my account. This way, a few minutes later when I was finally able to complete the purchase, the $30 discount showed at check-out and I was able to get the drive at the deal price. You can try contacting them in case they would do the same for you. I received my drive today and am in the process of installing it. Good luck!

Same problem here. Have just read other answers. Think it was misrepresented. It seems like a rip off, doesn't it.

I completely agree. I resent having to continue to pay in order to use a device I've already plunked down a couple hundred dollars for. They would sell a lot more of them, and I would advocate the product if it didn't unnecessarily force me into becoming a steady stream of income for the company. This makes any product a liability, not an asset.

You may get a better price. I know that in other products like Micrsoft, if you're a student or in education, you get a 10% discount for software and hardware. You can contact the vendor directly.

It might have had an intro offer which would need to be paid for later. I have Office so may have deleted any intro offer. BTW, this computer is a piece of crap. Battery problems from early on and tech support kept saying it was the drivers. Finally got a new battery after almost a year and then that one did not charge properly. Problem may finally be resolved but that remains to be seen.

I'm not a tester and don't own the unit (not yet anyway), but I've been checking it out... yes, the monthly service is $10-13 after the initial 3 month free period expires. Based on my experience with other units, this is about the same as the cost of one or more map updates per year that other vendors charge for, but the service includes more ... so for me, this will not be a big concern.

Thanks,It looks like 1099.00 is the Del price with no tax on AMazon and many other sites. Still waiting for under 1000.00. It was there before and will be again. Need Samsung to put in the promotion. I thought this one of been it, with football season starting.

There's a 12% cash back available from LiveSearch on purchases from J&R; - lowered the price of the blue XP, 120GB version from $408 ($399 + $9 shipping) to $360. Ordered one yesterday - shipped today. Site now says "backordered" so I'm not sure of the best current deal (probably this one once they're back in stock. Good luck.

The price cut was expected for the Black Friday rush. However, let's say it drops to $249 - $199 after Christmas? That would be a fire sale not competitive pricing. Why Google of all companies did not market this product better is a mystery? Nexus 1...deja vu anyone? If Google dumps the Chromebooks, will current Chromebook owners no longer receive constant free updates to the CrOS? Basically, what I'm asking is if it's too risky to purchase a Chromebook now? Will they be around in 6 months? Will there be tech support next year?

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.
