Carphone Warehouse makes Motorola Xoom cheaper
Attractive, truly unlimited data package on offer
Carphone Warehouse has reduced the price of the upcoming Motorola Xoom 3G: it now wants a colossal 20 quid less for the 10in Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet than it did yesterday.
When CW first posted a price for the Xoom - due to arrive around the middle of the month - it was charging a penny less than £600 for the tablet. Now it's charging a penny less than £580.
Alternatively, you can pony up £200 - plus £25 a month for the next two years - and get a Talk Mobile data Sim with it. That means you'll pay £800 over the life of the contract for the Xoom, not bad value if you use a lot of the 3G data.
It's one one TM's so-called "never pay for the internet" deals. You do pay - said £25 a month - but there's no fair use limit on the unlimited data transfers, CW said.
You can sign up at the Carphone Warehouse website.
The Xoom has a 10in, 1280 x 800 touchscreen and a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. ®

Yawn
20 of your earth currency units off?
Wake me up when it costs less than 250
about 300 quid too much
looking at alternatives via sites like merimobile you can pick up a decent enough android (2.2) based tablet for about 150 incl shipping. as a first gen device to play with while we wait for commodity pricing that's about right
of course before long Amazon will give them away free with an ebook...
RE: "...there's no fair use limit...."
I'd place good money on the fact that there will be fair use limits before the year is out. I see a bait and switch on a shiny new gadget.
(Fail for Carphone Warehouse not you TeeCee)
Spendy
I mean a few hundred more and you've could get a Mac book air
Marketing never ceases to amaze me
'Never pay for the internet.. only £25 a month'.
That's about double what the average DSL connection costs these days..
