Rumors of Sprint’s XOOM tablet seem to be true
The rumors were going around recently that the Motorola XOOM may be going to Sprint. There happened to be a user over at Sprint users who supposedly has come upon an image showing the Sprint version. We will leave speculations up to you guys.
The Sprint version is said to have the same set of specifications as the model currently being sold by Verizon Wireless. What nobody knows just yet, if the rumor is true, is if the device will even be WiMAX-enabled or WiMAX upgradeable. R0fl, the user who has shared the information has been on top of the game so far. In December he leaked images of Sprint’s MiFi 4082 and HTC’s EVO Shift 4G prior to their release so it's not hard to believe him.
Let us know what you think. Did you want one for yourself? Will you get one? We want to know!

my question is!!!!!!!!!! other than eye candy, why would you choose a $800 tab when you can get a decent well equip laptop with $200 less if they want to sell tablets they better range that crap in $100′s
my nook color still rocks….
I think the Samsung Tab 10.1 woulda been a better announcement… Dunno about the XOOM… A bit overpriced…
If the pricing is right…then maybe. But not paying $800 for it. Maybe we could get it for like $199 with 2 year agreement? Please Sprint!
I agree with you Austin420, unless you really Want to pay sprint; Take that Nook Color for $250, root it with Froyo, no camera or mic, but it rocks! wifi or tether with your phone and your done. And almost as fast as a xoom to boot! Way cheaper alternative.
I paid $800 w/o a contract for mine and I love it but I plan to return it to get the wifi only version on the 27th. You guys are not considering everything you can do with this tablet. It is a PC like experience in a much smaller and lighter package. RDP, FTPS, Flash, storage, VNC, video conferencing, pictures,home videos, movies,stereo speakers, hdmi output to big screen. Unlike that other tablet you are not restricted to doing what they want you to do. It is well worth $600 if you know its’ potential.
if att can do the 64gb 3g ipad for 529… with no contract… sprint better do 32gb xoom for 499…
