Xoom or wait for Xoom2?

[fish1552]

So far, the pictures I've seen are some sort of ugly device with more rounded sides, a white front and black back that I would never own. Looks VERY ugly to me. I love my first gen WiFi Xoom much better.

And yes, I wireless tether my Xoom to my OG Droid (and hopefully soon my Galaxy Nexus) using barnacle. So even when I'm not home, I'm online and didn't pay the extra cost for the 3G model, nor do I need the added expense on my phone plan. I rarely use much data on my phone anyway, so I'm in no danger of going near any limits VW puts up.

I got rid of my Thunderbolt and got the Bionic with my upgrade a week or 2 ago. Just can't decide if I want a XOOM or not lol..

Announcement today

Disappointed todays announcement was not the Xoom 2. Any idea when?

Anyone have any idea how much the Xoom2 might cost? I'm going to guess $500-$600

There are Certified Pre Owned models with 3g for $399. They are still eligible for free 4g upgrade. If not, new for $499. I got a CPO model, and I am quite happy with it. Already have 4g upgrade, even though I don't have 4g in the b neighborhood yet! Of course these models will require a data plan. There are Wifi models only at Bestbuy. The is a new wifi 'Family' model for $379 that has 16 GB if memory instead of 32 GB on the regular models.

According the to FCC documents the Xoom 2 is a wifi-only device, it has no 3G/4G radios, thus if you want 3G/4G data you have to get the OG Verizon/Sprint Xoom.

Update: Verizon announce that it will in fact carry both new Xooms. They will carry a 64 GB version as well.
