    Truly a great day for DROID. Just opened up my own version. No line. Time to get nothing productive done today!

      You sir, are a male chicken….another word for rooster. You are donker. Your schtick is old and corny. you’re busted, you are a waste of time (& apparently sperm) since all u do is sit up here and psuedo compliment android. we get it! if you do not like android, why do you spend so much time reading and commenting on Android articles? your mother should have swallowed you, better yet your pop should’ve caught u in his sock! be gone loser.

    This tablet has managed to go from highly anticipated to a bit of a trainwreck in a few short days in my opinion.

    Having to return the device to get the 4G upgrade is a real pain.

    I will wait a couple more weeks to see what else is announced before making any decision. If a Xoom is in my future it won’t be until they come with the 4G modem installed.

      Or maybe two Viewsonic G-Tabets, devs should have Honeycomb ported soon enough!! Then you dont have to share with the wifey!

    question: will the HTC tablets be incl sense or pure android? is samsung gonna have a pure android tablet?
    i am only buying pure android, if thats the best device, its a buy.

  • MyPhoneCaptivates

    OMG I want this so bad, except I’m not a rich greedy CEO who can afford this, use it for a few days, then throw it away.

    I would like to have this device, but $800 off-contract…NO WAY! This pricing is way too high. I think it should have been priced at $600 off-contact, and $450 with a contract. I don’t think these price points make this device competitive at all.
    On a separate note…I’m not sending my device away for 4G either. I’ll wait until they come with it built in. I think I’ll also wait to see offerings from HTC and Samsung before committing to this.

      I bought one too. Im digging the 4g, flash sweetness. Can’t believe it was only $800.

      I waited all night for the store to open. Can’t believe nobody else bought one at this store today. Hmmm. Weird.
