This is some bs (but not a big deal) I get to my best buy at 11:08 that morning and walk to the mobile section to pre order. The sales girl knows exactly what I'm talking about then asks me how i know about the pre orders. I tell her engadget plus every blog is talking about it then she tells me I'm number 4 on the waitlist and they actually completed 3 preorders on the 17th before they got the memo to wait till the 20th, only because I was number 4 I wasn't that angry. The first 3 got theirs illegally :)
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Lose the receipt.........i'm guarding mine with my life lol :cool:
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
I would definitely go in and pre-order now. I would not wait until Thursday. Most stores are getting less than 10 units with most only getting 5 or 6. The store I went to is only getting 5 and I was #4 to get a pre-order on Sunday afternoon. If you havent yet, I would go in ASAP.
[Xoom General] setite:
I'm guarding the giftcard with my life.. i should have returned the gift card immediately and kept the preorder... I always feel like I am going to lose it when I preorder stuff. Granted I have credit and debit cards I have never lost, so it's an irrational fear.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
Just called my Best Buy and they are getting 5. I was number 2, so no worries!
[Xoom General] scifisniper:
Which store did you preorder at? I was there Sunday around 2 at the Turkey Creek location. No one at the mobile department knew what to do and they sent me to the computers section where I found a guy that knew what was going on. Was really quick and easy.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Pre-ordered at approx. 5pm today (D.C. Metro – Gaithersburg MD) and it went pretty smooth. They said they received 7 or so and there were only 2-3 pre-orders in place. They didn’t know anything about pricing or subsidies, but said that they would be getting more information tomorrow.

The way I see it, even if I change my mind or find a better price elsewhere, I still have the BB giftcard (no harm, no foul)...
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Wow these are some low numbers best buy seems to be getting...something tells me with the idiotic staff they have there..that someone is going to sell someone's pre-ordered Xoom !!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
That is my concern too. That is why I had my local VZW store put one on hold for me.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Yea i dont think anyone has even thought about this & i won't be able to get out to bestbuy until about 1pm on Thursday ...crap
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Indeed. At first, I had no intention on pre-ordering, but after browsing this board over the last couple of days, I saw way too many references to stores getting 6-12 devices. In a relatively populated area, I could easily imagine that theres at least a dozen or so people waiting to buy it.

When the Evo launched, I didn’t think for a minute that there would be lines & sell-outs… thought that sort of thing was reserved for iThings. I didn’t have crap to do that day and I had obsessed over the phone for the preceeding weeks, so I said screw it, woke up and went over to Sprint where I found a line around the block. Limited stock or not, you couldn’t just “go buy one” for months after that. Thankfully I wasn’t one of them, but I’d hate to be in the boat that so many were in with the Evo.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
Yeah, thats why I am going to stop by my Best Buy tomorrow, and I informed them again today on the phone that I had pre-ordered and was the 2nd person.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
well i'm going by there today when i get off & make sure i'm still #1 on their list...yes i was the very 1st person to order the Xoom here where i live at my bestbuy.I can just see it now..some bumbling idiot loses the paperwork & thursday they just start selling the Xoom's as a first come first serve basis .......argh!!!
[Xoom General] SFBPro:
This is why I plan on being there before the doors open ;)
[Xoom General] ghoticov:
I went last night and reserved. No one... and I mean no one knew what in the world to do. I first went to the mobile section (waited 10 min for someone), then they sent me to the computer section (waited another 10 min) then they sent me to Customer Service ... then waited another 15 min for a manager because no one knew what a Xoom was, muchless how to preorder it. It was crazy. They also wouldn't tell me how many were ahead of me ... it was "information they couldn't share". I laughed. Anyway... my guess is there weren't many being that no one knew anything about it.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
The guy at my Bestbuy advised me to come in a little later in the morning/afternoon, because he expected to be swaped with Thunderbolt sales.

I wont be taking his advice, but it looks like the 24th is gonna be a busy day for Verizon / Bestbuy
[Xoom General] p-slim:
My 799 xoom plus one month activation takes priority :)
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
Just stopped by my best buy. They have 5 in stock, got to hold one, they have accessories out to purchase also. I'm number 2, so guaranteed one! If you signed up for a notice through Motorola they gave you 25% off accessories. Best buy just said they'd match that for me tomorrow and they will match whatever Costco is!!
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
For what it’s worth, Bestbuy is nolonger showing the Xoom as “Backordered”, but rather is showing as Available (In store only)…
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Crap I signed up at Motorola for updates & never got anything.heck the Xoom comes out tomorrow & I still haven't got 1 single update
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
I got an email immediately after signing up for updates (had something to do with the OCNN news thing for Motorola). The Best Buy rep just said make sure you can show us the email and we'll match it.
[Xoom General] r0guenj:
i signed up for updates and didn't receive anything either....
[Xoom General] singraham:
Placed mine today in Biddeford ME. Very laid back. I waited to see what the on-contract price was going to be.
[Xoom General] polakowt:
Any idea if the extended buy back program until the 26th will apply?? cuz then it may be worth going to best buy for sure.
[Xoom General] setite:
When did they extend it to the 26th. I thought it ended today.
[Xoom General] polakowt:
I tried to post the link to the engadget article but I don't have enough posts to do that yet. But if you hit up google and type in "engadget best buy buy back extend" it will be one of the first ones there.
[Xoom General] barnhouse:
Got a call from BBY today. They received less than expected in shipment (10 instead of 20). I was number 13 on the pre-orders (got it yesterday late). They anticipate additional shipments on Friday. (This was in the San Diego metro area).
[Xoom General] p-slim:
So best buy calls me today and tries to tell me i have to pick a time between 12-5, im like yeah right. I'm number 4 on the pre order and i will be there right when they open. she proceeds to tell me that i can come when they open but i might have to wait a couple of hours. I respond "look, if you can't schedule me for 10am let me know now, im paying full retail for a $799 device not to mention i have to buy 1 month service, costco is also selling the device and its $45 cheaper after mir. she gets back on the line and tells me my appointment time is 10am :D
[Xoom General] polakowt:
weird. I just got off the phone with BB here in suburbs of chicago and they said that they definitely got enough units for all pre-orders that were put through.
[Xoom General] morbos:
I was on twitter with a handful of employees trying to get a straight answer. Initially they didn't even know the program applied to tablets. As far as I can tell, in this case, it's just mobile stores, and not big box.

The press release is here: http://www.bby.com/2011/02/14/best-buy-extends-buy-back-program-offer-to-future-proof-smart-phone-purchases-for-free-through-feb-26/

"As part of this special two-week offer, customers can also receive the Buy Back Program at no cost when purchasing tablets, including the Apple iPad, at Best Buy Mobile standalone stores."

I was going to make the extra effort, but the bootloader changed my mind. No reason to wait for a device with the same specs but unlockable bootloader and cut my losses any more!
[Xoom General] polakowt:
I talked to my local best buy after posting that and she put me on hold to check. Came back and said that it does apply to the buy back program.
[Xoom General] Xeon_IV:
So far a I have been waiting for them to figure out how to do a pre-order been waiting a half hour now :(

Edit: I got my pre-order :) only took them 45 min to figure it out. I was about to walk out and come back tomorrow but they said they only have 15 in stock tomorrow with another 10 coming in through ups. So I waited.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Wow that sucks..went by bestbuy when i got off & the person that took my order recognized me instantly..she said i was locked in for one...I was surprised they didnt have a Xoom on display.Hhgregg didn't have one on display but had the box it came in..i was like wtf ! Then went to verizon & they didn't have one on display either.Oh well Thursday can't come fast enough :)
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
Pre-ordered mine Monday night and had to tell them that I could pre-order (Pittsburgh, PA - Bethel Park Store).

Called tonight to ask when I could pick mine up, the guy at customer service didn't seem to know anything about and said he assumed as soon as they opened. I was on hold, this time trying to reach their mobile department only to be disconnected. I will likely try to get one from VZW first.

I also have a question for them about my pre-ordered Thunderbolt. This was my first BB pre-order I will probably never pre-order anything from them again.

I will be going to BB after I purchase the Zoom from the VZW store to get refunds for my pre-order gift cards.

Side note: My brother worked for BB (pre-Geek Squad) while he was laid off for a few months and he said they were laziest, most dishonest people he ever worked with. The constantly lie to customers according to him.
[Xoom General] jkurl:
I got mine today and they had my name and phone number on it. This best buy did it right. They got 6 and had 5 pre orders. You can get it w/ the data plan or wifi only. Vzw changed the policy this morning.
[Xoom General] barnhouse:
Day 2. I went into Best Buy knowing that I was number 13 on the list of pre-orders. They had told me on Wednesday that they only received 10, so I would be in the next batch. I went in today, since no one has called me yet, asked if they received more devices, they said no. I asked them if they knew when the next shipment was, they said no. I told them to go ahead and cancel my pre-order and refund my gift card, I drove to Costco, and walked out of there with a Xoom in less than 20 minutes. (Costco got 12, and when I was there today, they had only sold 1).

Hey guys, check it out. I just figured out how to get into clockwork recovery, and assuming and going about flashing a rom just like I would on my evo, I go ahead and download a rom for the epic, flash it, and it works fine. So it loads up like normal after a flash n reboot, and it kept saying no service... so I was like... uh... weird.. so I booted back into clockwork and tried nand back to the backup I did before flashing anything, of course... but I started getting an error saying it couldn't open recovery.log and now it freezes restoring at saying "lost+found" .... so I pull the batter, and now it just automatically revolts to clockwork all the time, and trying to boot the system normally... I'm not using CWM 3+.. rather the older 2.xx ... any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
It's hard to understand your writing. I think the best thing you can do is use Odin to flash back to stock and start over. You didn't say what version of android you were on but if it's dk28 did you flash the modem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
What rom did you flash? I take it you were on stock di18 before?

Flashing a rom based on one of the leaked froyo builds without also flashing a modem could cause the initial problem.

And nandroid doesn't backup or restore the kernel, so using that to restore still leaves you with the kernel of the rom you flashed before, which can cause problems across build versions.

You're best bet is to odin back to di18 and start again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Thanks a bunch, I know I re-read my post and was like.. man I wasnt descriptive at all... LOL, but I checked out this Odin, and TBH i have NO idea what all this stuff is for the Epic, only doing it to fix the booboo I did on my g/f's phone :P I have the Evo so its totally different stuff almost... Anyways im back to stock, now I need to read up before screwing around again .

I just flashed the most recent CM7 update for Galaxy S and I have NO data connection, thus I'm thinking this is a problem with trying to flash this on our device model...

P.S. The Gtab is showing as $379 on the website, so $379 - $20 = $359, if the coupon works...

Thank you Rydah,

PS. Also, if it's not to much to ask (and BTW, I have no problem making a donation for your help) but maybe also a Michael Jordan splash screen of some sort. Being that I am now out here in Illinois, that would be awesome as well. Would you even be able to make one splash screen that is split in 2?
