Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha on Wednesday confirmed pricing for the company’s upcoming Honeycomb tablet, the Motorola XOOM. Speaking to the press at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Jha stated that a version of the XOOM with cellular data connectivity will be available from Verizon Wireless for an unsubsidized price of $799. Earlier rumors suggested that Best Buy would offer the XOOM for the same price. The tablet will have the option to connect to Verizon’s 3G data network — and later this year, its 4G LTE network as well — for a monthly fee, but buyers will not have to sign a service contract with the carrier. Jha also stated that the Wi-Fi-only version of the Motorola XOOM will be available for around $600.

    Can anyone confirm Verizon can’t get the bugs out of its 4G Phone software so they keep having to delay the release date of the Thunderbolt. confirmed by Best Buy 14th, Rumor 21, Rumor 24, Rumor 28 Rumor March. I wonder how well it will work after they say it is fixed, you know new electronic products. The Motorola 4G Atrix at ATT may be the safest bet since they aren’t having 4g phone problems like Verizon will have.
