Can you go to the link in the first post and try to load the stream in WinAmp if you have it installed? No biggie if not, I can try it I just figure if you have it installed I'd be forever grateful if you'd try it and let me know before I try installing yet another streaming app, hehe.

Thanks for the link, unfortunantly i dont have a microsoft computer. Know of any other ways
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
It's available for pre-order at PCWorld and Currys

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/motorola-xoom-1316-commercial.html

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/motorola-xoom-1745-commercial.html

I've ordered mine
[Xoom General] ltbakken:
If you get to the product page it says that it will be delivered september 6. Wow
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
9 April I thought?
[Xoom General] lucasite:
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Not sure Im liking this annual cycle of technology, £499 is alot of money to be out of date 12 months later and trumped by new hardware.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?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I am hoping they drop the price before next month slightly to be honest...
[Xoom General] SpideRMaN-17:
Any info about the wifi + 3G availability in europe please ?
[Xoom General] SupaDupaFly24:
Ok Moto Wifi only version needs to come to the U.S., thanks!
[Xoom General] <stu>:
£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.
[Xoom General] <stu>:
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.
[Xoom General] burden010:
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.
[Xoom General] burden010:
You're forgetting that everything in the UK is priced over the odds, it's not just Dixon's that do it.
[Xoom General] s.morris:
Is the money taken from the card straight away?

Steve
[Xoom General] burden010:
Not sure. I used a credit card so I'd only see it in my next statement.
[Xoom General] 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

Steve
[Xoom General] redmongoose:
Thanks alot - almost worth it at this price....... or do I go for this?????

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mo...-3G-PLUS-WI-FI-TABLET/HANDSET&clearance=false

anyone got a 10% off for the carphonewarehouse? :D
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
yes

Paid out

PC WORLD ONLINE

499.99
[Xoom General] burden010:
Redmongoose, I personally prefer without a contract as I can just use my wifi hotspot on the phone.
[Xoom General] s.morris:
Hi Guys,

Just found this on the web.

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/03/05/motorola-xoom-back-to-450-flash-support-available-at-launch/

Seem that PC world now has a coupon code for 10%

HARDWARE10

Also read somewhere that the dixons wasn't working any more

Hope its good for you guys

Steve
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
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....
[Xoom General] tomqman:
That's what I did also using quidco getting 3% cashback making my xoom cost only £436 ;)
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I thought CPW was getting the 3g ones which would be coming out at the end of the month?

happy belated birthday j1mmyg88...
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
they should be getting it mid next week i think, and thanks lol :D
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
from their website:

PRE-ORDER NOW - STOCK DUE MID APRIL

perhaps I should have gone for the 3G one standalone - only £100 more... :p
[Xoom General] burden010:
Should be the 19th. But as with the wifi version I reckon there'll be delays. Or maybe they knew this would happen and delayed it accordingly?
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Just got off the phone to Dixons. They have started sending out the preorders as of 12:00pm today.

I wasn't told when mine will be shipped out but i was told it would definitely be shipped out today and i will be notified by email when it has dispatched :)
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Cheers for that, things are looking better
[Xoom General] burden010:
I'll believe it when I get the email...

Shame they didn't go out yesterday, the wife's off work sick today!
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
A bit off topic, on PC Worlds website they are selling the XOOM in bundles. I.E XOOM + travel charge + case for x amount

One of the bundles is a XOOM with a 3G Dongle Modem (Those std USB ones for pc/laptop). Will a 3G Modem work with the XOOM if you enable USB host mode?
[Xoom General] footboydog:
Just got the email from Currys with DHL tracking number!!! DHL site says:

"Parcel Picked Up	12/04/11	09:55	DSG CUSTOMER LOCATION"

I guess that means its coming tomorrow.
[Xoom General] cpam:
this one will work.

[Xoom General] burden010:
Woohoo! Finally someone's got some information... just waiting for my email now.

*Goes back to watching Inbox*
[Xoom General] Love_Velvet:
I just got off the phone with PC world. They told me my order might go out today or tomorrow. So I should expect it Thursday or Friday. Seems its not a 24hr service.
[Xoom General] braingravyuk:
Just got off the phone to Dixons again, I do think they have a massive wheel in customer services full of different things to say to customers...

This customer representative said they wasn't in and that it was delayed. He then Googled for details backing this up but couldn't find anything, but his story changed slightly when I mentioned about stock being shown on the website.

He then said that Motorola may be withholding the stock due to issues or Dixons are checking over the stock. "Simply wait for your email, then you know you are getting it sent to you" - Thanks!

I've just ordered the eee pad as well today, arrives tomorrow, was hoping to test both of them side by side to get an idea on which one I want.. at this rate I'll be stuck with the eee pad either way.
[Xoom General] sned:
just got my email from dixons as well

Status	Date	Time	Signatory	Branch	Comments

Parcel Picked Up	12/04/11	11:39	DSG CUSTOMER LOCATION

Had tried to cancel but most of been to late

Also ordered the Transformer , so hopefully will be able to compare both tomorrow
[Xoom General] burden010:
I also just got my email from Dixons but I can't track the parcel on the DHL express website...! What link are you guys using?

FINALLY!
[Xoom General] jss42:
What company is delivering for Dixons? I've got a tracking number from speaking to them, but the DHL website won't take the tracking number I have.
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
still nothing from pc world :(
[Xoom General] Kas206:
I got a email from Dixons too! :D It will be delivered by DHL.
[Xoom General] footboydog:
The URL is of the format:

http://track.dhl.co.uk/tracking/wrd/run/wt_xtest_pw.cb_cgi?cb_dialogue=specificStatus3&parcelNumber=<tracking number>&destCountryCode=GB

Replace <tracking number> with your own
[Xoom General] burden010:
I'm the same, it does say in my email "Soon after this email is sent you will be able to track your delivery by clicking on the link below." So maybe there's a slight delay.
[Xoom General] braingravyuk:
Well well well, Dixons don't know what's happening :|

Got my email too :D

Here is the link for those with codes that came with the email

http://track.dhl.co.uk/tracking/wrd...tatus3&parcelNumber=YOURID&destCountryCode=GB

Just replace YOURID with the code JDD etc etc

Sweet! OK, now I just need to work out a plan of how I'm going to get this tomorrow though I'm at work. Hmm. Wonder if DHL would be able to give me an estimated time...?
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Give them a call, they may be able to change the delivery address for you, i've done it before with UPS so hopefully dhl are the same
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Damn you all!

I haven't had anything (PCW)
[Xoom General] turbo_lew:
Well i got bored of waiting and went for the eee pad transformer, Comet have them in at £379 next day delivery. will have it before 12 tomorrow.

It's only a 16gb but has sd slot and an ips (10 finger input), and its cheaper.

Im not saying the xoom is bad as i've not played with one. it's all the waiting. I hate waiting. My guy in currys still hasn't had the store delivery yet either.

I'll let you know how i get on with the eee pad.

Good luck to all that are still waiting, hope it wont be to long.
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
anyone had anything from pc world?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
not a sausage.

i'm unlikely to pre-order anything from there again... Dixons appears to be the way forward! :)
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
not kidding, cant believe how different it is even though it is the same company :mad:
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I ordered mine on 2nd March - anyone have any email notification on the same day or afterwards? :)

just want to know if they are doing it chronologically or dixons -> currys -> pcw
[Xoom General] burden010:
Called DHL (express number goes to YODEL?) and they say that they can't change the delivery address unless Dixons ask them to. Dixons have actually specified this and I've already called them the other day to see if they could change it but they said no.

Oh well, I'll just need to get a card through the door...! GAH! Damn you Dixons for not delivering on Saturday!
[Xoom General] burden010:
I ordered on the 3rd March, Dixons.
[Xoom General] DAfroThunder:
I ordered mine on 3rd march (notification the same day), PCW

I called them today and all they could tell me is that it hasn't left the warehouse yet, but I should expect an e-mail when it does.

On a separate note, did anyones order get cancelled? I ordered two and got an e-mail telling me that due to a technical error one of them had not been processed!
[Xoom General] chazam:
Good to see some are shipping from Dixons now. :D

I'm unfortunate enough to have one coming from PC World. :(
[Xoom General] Love_Velvet:
Some hope for the pc world orders! I just had mine confirmed as dispatched with this email:

Dear Michael,

Your order (PCW---) is on its way and will be delivered to you by DHL.

Soon after this email is sent you will be able to track your delivery by clicking on the link below.

If you have any questions you can either ask online or call us on 0844 561 0000 (we’re open for calls Mon-Fri 9am – 8pm, Sat 9am – 6pm and Sun 10am – 5pm ).

Heres hoping you other guys ordering from pc world get the same email soon :D
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Just had my email too, great stuff finally
[Xoom General] Theo1:
PCW sending them out -

Parcel Picked Up	12/04/11	14:59	DSG CUSTOMER LOCATION

Also I know we aren't taking anything CS have to say with any authority, but I was told last week that they had 200 pre-orders.

Also today was told "we are having a lot of calls about the Xoom my supervisor has just got off the phone with Headoffice."..... Hopefully they may have got a message or two from this whole thing.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Still no email for my Xoom :( guess the best I can hope for is Thursday delivery and Friday pick up
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Anyone know how Dixons are with deliveries?

My order seems to be stuck at LINCOLN SERVICE CENTRE since 2pm today.

Just wondering if it will get delivered tomorrow.
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
Same here and Lincoln is so far away from London. I really hope someone picks them up during the night and delivers them to me tomorrow morning. :)
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Yeah, I was hoping that too. I guess its down to DHL now.
[Xoom General] burden010:
When I spoke to Dhl earlier they told me it was due for delivery tomorrow between 9 and 9. Mine was also in Lincoln. But I do know that the tracking is only updated when it's scanned at one of the depots so it's probably on a van somewhere as we speak.
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Feel like a little kid again waiting for a present on my birthday lol
[Xoom General] rthomas:
Lincoln will probably be DHL's hub. It will go out to the local branches overnight and onto a van in the morning.

Hopefully they will send some to the shops to. I will be checking online for the in-store reservation to start then I'm off to get me one.
[Xoom General] footboydog:
Mine was at Lincoln. The latest update is:

Departed Depot	12/04/11	16:29	HAMS HALL
[Xoom General] Kas206:
My status has just change too

Departed Depot	12/04/11	21:32	HAMS HALL

Arrived At Depot	12/04/11	21:31	HAMS HALL
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I still don't even have an e-mail notification :(
[Xoom General] burden010:
Hehe, mine is the same. Hopefully I'll check in an hour or so and it will tell me it's out for delivery from Paisley :-)
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Mine is out for delivery woop woop, I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
[Xoom General] mbroeders:
And all I can think of right now is 'Damn you Simply Electronics!'. Well, own fault I guess. Everyone enjoy your xoom! And please post first impressions! Very curious, and will keep me occupied while waiting...
[Xoom General] Leyths:
Bootloader

Mine should be coming today also! Excited!

Has anyone heard anything regarding the bootloader? Is it unlocked like the US version or have they pulled a Milestone and encrypted it for the UK?
[Xoom General] burden010:
Well I went the wrong way, arrived at Edinburgh depot at 7:44... think it's too late for it to go out today?

Re. Bootloader: It bloody well better not be encrypted or it'll be going straight back.
[Xoom General] footboydog:
07:27 Out for delivery!!

Shame I have to go into the office today but at least the wife's home.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Mine still sitting at "scanned as part of secure process." Will this torture ever end?

Edit: Out for delivery at 9:03. Still won't be able to get it today though as it's going to the wrong address lol.
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Mines out for delivery too. Can't wait.
[Xoom General] Otterjasie:
Are you still waiting for yours???

I cancelled my order with SE after reading the reviews...they refunded me.
[Xoom General] mbroeders:
Yeah, well, it's the only way right now to get one in Holland. Got a few emails from them that they will dispatch soon. They still remain vague. I'll give them another week...
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
To rub it in today, I have had the 'motorola' THE XOOM WIFI IS HERE - BUY NOW FROM DIXONS, PCWORLD, CURRYS...

i haven't even had my 'xoom has been picked up for delivery' email... :(
[Xoom General] burden010:
Last week I got an email from Dixons asking me to review the Xoom. I was like WTF?
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Ha Ha Me too. I thought it was a dipatch email at first.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
If I haven't seen any sign of an email by lunch I may have to ring...
[Xoom General] DAfroThunder:
Delivered @ 9:40 this morning in Edinburgh :)

FYI it's a PCW order.
[Xoom General] burden010:
As in you now have it in your hands?
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
daaammmmm, im still waiting for mine to turn up :( its with the courier now
[Xoom General] burden010:
The wife will be home between 1pm and 4pm. Just hope DHL can somehow hit that sweet spot or else wait until I'm home after 6:30pm.

Do they update the status online if they've tried to deliver it?
[Xoom General] nforsans:
Can you post your first impressions? And what about the charger - is it that cumbersome to carry around?
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Are any of you guys planning to root the Xoom?
[Xoom General] burden010:
I'd like to get USB host, Titanium Backup working and possibly SD card working but I'm not in a hurry. I'll see what first impressions are like first and probably wait a while (at least until the distance selling return is up) but yeah, I'll eventually root it.
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
Just go mine delivered here in London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Since rooting will restore everything I`m rooting mine as soon as its out of the box. :)
[Xoom General] Otterjasie:
:(:(:( I want one too!
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Nice! What part of London do you live?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Pcw guy said they had delivery around 1200 yesterday and they been processing tracking numbers since.... doesn't explain why mine isn't even loaded yet and some people have theirs.... also he was surprised any tracking went out yesterday. How annoying
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
I work in Chiswick got delivered to work
[Xoom General] culac:
Mine's been delivered to my work in Southwark.

I'm working from home though, so can't give first impressions I'm afraid :(
[Xoom General] burden010:
The most awesome thing has just happened. The Mrs just phoned, she was pulling into the drive just as the van came into the street! Roll on 5pm!
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Still waiting for mine :(
[Xoom General] sned:
just had mine delivered (west end of glasgow)

was meant to have the transformer delivered this morning also but seems either comet or parcelforce have screwed up

so far screen looks good to me. it weights a fair bit but sorta like it, makes it feel expensive
[Xoom General] Kas206:
I just realised iv made a huge ****-up. I forgot to write my house number on the Dixons delivery address. :mad:
[Xoom General] poisike:
Glad to see some of you have already received your Xooms.

Can anyone take a look and post what languages are available in language & input settings?

What android version and built number you have?
[Xoom General] sned:
model number : MZ604

Android version : 3.01

kernel version : 2.6.36.3 a7301c@il93lnxdroid47 #1

build number : h.6.2-24.1301017438
[Xoom General] danwooller:
Aww, it doesn't come charged... how long is this going to take!!!
[Xoom General] leeharo:
Talked to a Curry's staff yesterday, and he said the Xoom will be arrive IN STORE on thursday (Manchester)...trustworthy? :D

still havent make up my mind on buying Xoom or Transformer...omg its a tough decision!!
[Xoom General] sned:
mine was at 66%
[Xoom General] burden010:
If that's the case and they're noth going to be in store have a walk in a play with both then get the one you prefer.

btw, the one you prefer will be the Xoom ;)
[Xoom General] :
What language can you select in settings?

Is Swedish available?
[Xoom General] sned:
svenska is available
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Finally!

have my tracking order number!
[Xoom General] leeharo:
hahaha i was actually tempted by the idea of keyboard/extra battery on Transformer which makes a total of 16 hrs battery

and IT IS REALLY CHEAPER:D

however when i first came to the XDA..(i m new to here)

there are so many people trying to develop the Xoom and i m pretty sure it is better for long-term purpose

oh another question: can i return my Xoom to PCWorld if i find the Transformer better after using Xoom for a moment?:p
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
haha

clicked on my tracking order and its been taken in by a neighbour

why couldn't they just be that efficient in the first place :P
[Xoom General] burden010:
HA! Brilliant. Looks like the tv is going to be ignored in a log of houses tonight...!
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Anyone know if Dixons dispatch to the billing address or the Delivery address?

I forgot to put my house number on the delivery address but its ok on the billing address.
[Xoom General] sned:
looks like we cant get google books on the uk version
[Xoom General] burden010:
You should give DHL a call. Mine went to my home address so I'm not sure, I'd imagine it will be the delivery address though.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I wasn't able to get it on my phone either but after installing MarketEnabler I was able to. Probably just side load it if I can't get it in the tablet market.
[Xoom General] Kas206:
I did call them. They said its on the back of van and there is no way they can contact the driver. They also told to me to contact dixons and let them know what has happened so they can rebook a delivery for you.

The DHL tracking page comes up as a "server error" now. :confused:
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
How big is your street? Do you have good neighbours? My tracking had the house number and who signed for it so you might be able to track it down..
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Its big! Over 1000 houses on it.

The tracking number has gone down for me.
[Xoom General] poisike:
The answer is probably no, but i ask anyway. Is Estonian/Eesti available as language? Or "English (Estonia)"?
[Xoom General] leeharo:
could anyone tell me will Pcworld charge anything if i have opened the box and ask for a refund? thanks
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Can someone please check if there DHL tracking number is working. Im getting a server error here.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
tracking is down for me too
[Xoom General] Otterjasie:
Tracked mine, then it was down, then it worked again and now it's down....
[Xoom General] :
Thanks. Thats good news.
[Xoom General] culac:
and the wife :P
[Xoom General] burden010:
LOL, absolutely!
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
1st impression is that it is awesome, keyboard is a dream to use. Display is brilliant and sharp, dont know what everyone gripe is. Its superb, the browser is something else, I have all my bookmarks synced from google chrome, something I missed from my froyo days, notification bar is non-intrusive but gives you the info that you need. Got a lot of the apps I need already, tried a couple of games, dungeon defenders for me is a bit fiddly to control, the d-pad is awful.

So for my 1st impressions it is a great device which can only get better

[Xoom General] rthomas:
I rang PCWorld this morning and no news of when they are getting them instore. So I ordered one for delivery. £5.76 or £10 to deliver next Tuesday (1st slot available). So I went for the free one 3-5 days. Confirmation email said delivery within 3 days as it was a small item. So in my book thats Monday, quicker than paying out :), will have to wait and see.
[Xoom General] leeharo:
just read some news http://blog.phoneslimited.co.uk/2011/04/13/motorola-xoom-released-today-in-uk-stores/ and some in twitter saying the Curry's in already having in store today..i would go to the store tomorrow and check it out :)
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
with all the emails I had about the launch and available stuff - it wouldnt surprise me that they would be in stores
[Xoom General] chazam:
Got my tracking number this afternoon.

I am a happy man! :D
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Jealous :( CPW Says Saturday stock for Tuesday pickup in store! Means I gotta work a whole day Tuesday before I can get it :(

Talk about the longest day at work ever. :(
[Xoom General] Kas206:
WOOHOO! Just got mine after the mix-up earlier.
