Got the Xoom wifi today? Tell us about the buying experience.

[boosthungry]

I'm curious how everyone did today. Please let us know where you got it from, how many people were there to get the Xoom, how many they had in stock, and the overall experience.

Thanks!

I got mine at 10:05 this morning at Staples. I was the first one to buy it. I tried last night, but they wouldn't sell it to me. I pre-ordered it over a week ago, but found out it wouldn't be there until tomorrow, even though I had it shipped to the store. So I bought the one I have today, and will get a refund for the one that's coming tomorrow. I live in a tiny town, so there wasn't a line waiting for them or anything. When I pre-ordered it, I bought a warranty from SquareTrade, which had better coverage, and I had an e-mail from them for a discount, so I cut them short when they were trying to sell me their warranty. They didn't know anything about the device. I said "That's okay....just get it out of the back room for me", and I was out the door in 5 minutes. All I've done so far is get some of my apps on it and set up the Google stuff. Now it's time to forum and play!

I returned my 4g xoom for a wifi only model this morning at best buy. They had trouble finding the price of the protection plan that I didn't want anyway but other than that there were no issues.

First post ha!

Got up this morning and checked out Newegg, and there it was. Ordered mine via newegg, with overnight shipping, still cheaper than if I bought it locally at a big box store. I can't go shopping until Tuesday, was afraid all the not so local stores would be sold out before I got there.

Strangely, it's not showing up on newegg anymore. When I click on it via my invoice, it doesn't say sold out, not sure what's going on there.

Should have it Tuesday, off Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm in geek heaven.
