Yeah if you look at the print in the yellow banner below the pic, it says:

Ah I didn't see that one. Nice catch.

our local best buy add regularly has typing mistakes. pricing errors etc.

Unless a cannon powershot camera (point & shoot) is worth $2399.98
( my most recent find )

lets hope its a fake.
I'm looking for a $500 tab that blows the doors off the ipad.

agreed

[Edited on February 7, 2011 at 12:01 PM. Reason : this is very disappointing from Motorola and Google - $800 is just ridiculous.]

2/7/2011 11:55:40 AM

Doubt it'll be close to $500 unless they make a wifi only model

2/7/2011 11:58:45 AM

you know Apple will undercut this. This is so dumb.

They will drop the Ipad down to $400 and the new Ipad2 will start at $600. Watch.

2/7/2011 12:02:21 PM

I've seen a lot of places claiming to have a wifi only model android tablet starting around $300, with upgradable features like the no glare screen, etc.

2/7/2011 12:35:54 PM

welp, the thunderbolt is listed in Best Buy's system with a launch date of Feb 14th but it says "subject to change". Girl that I talked to couldn't find any info on data plan prices or anything about the Xoom. And it's kind of funny to see the Galaxy Tabs for Sprint and Verizon sitting next to each other but the Spring version is $299 and the Verizon one is $399 on 2yr contract.

some ATT rep on some android forums made it sound as if the atrix was a lock to release this month

^verizon HTC 4G phone. Basically an updated EVO for verizon.

^^I think the TMo version is leaked to be dropping to 250 with contract

2/7/2011 12:48:57 PM

Yeah I looked it up

[Edited on February 7, 2011 at 12:50 PM. Reason : The Atrix is. Our AT&T rep said the same.]

2/7/2011 12:50:09 PM

i'm gonna guess it's the 20th since that'd give them a week of pre-ordering

Sorry I just hit stuff when posting from cell.

2/7/2011 1:53:34 PM

lolz. Sprint has David Blaine at their press event and then unveils a dual screen phone.

2/7/2011 6:35:51 PM

I'm seriously hoping that $800 was a fake or a mistake. They're going to price themselves right out of competition especially with the iPad 2 looming on the horizon.

yeah, not impressed. That may flop even more than the Palm Pre.

2/8/2011 8:33:07 AM

my epic plays ROMs just fine... I never had a DS so I don't need split screen to play super mario brothers

2/8/2011 10:06:42 AM

They should have made a different brand name kyocera = dog shit in the consumers mind.

2/8/2011 12:01:54 PM

My Kyocera phone still works... 10 years later.
Granted it sucked but its damned sturdy
dropped in water twice.

I've never had a Motorola last longer than a year
one died in 3 months for no reason
(i thought it was a bitchen phone cause it had color screen)

Rolled up into a Verizon store today expecting to find a knowledgeable employee (naive, I know) that may be welling to substantiate or refute (off the record, of course) the release date and the $800 price tag. Instead , I get stuck talking to some dumb gash who barely knows what the Xoom is but tries to sell me on an iPad instead.

It's shit like this, Verizon, it's shit like this...

2/9/2011 1:46:04 AM

Why would you ever expect retail employees to know ANYTHING about an unreleased device? They generally know substantially less than you.

And even if he know about the Xoom, good freakin' luck trying to get any info on pricing.

2/9/2011 9:28:55 AM

lol. You'll find it on the internet well before one of the sales or CS reps know it.

2/9/2011 9:37:41 AM

Yeah, exception was a couple of employees at the ratshack where I preordered my Evo. They even busted out the HTC dummy display and let me fuck with it.

Another epic update rumor. Also claims froyo for the fascinate on Feb 22nd.

BGR is saying the Thunderbolt release has been pushed back.

2/9/2011 10:05:19 AM

I'm thinking Feb 25th or later. That'd put all of the mePhone people beyond the 14 day return period.

2/9/2011 9:53:04 PM

haha don't blame you

2/9/2011 9:54:02 PM

welp, Froyo EB01 has been leaked for the Fascinate.

Does anyone know of an android browser that has privacy mode/ incognito mode?

2/11/2011 11:50:15 AM

stop looking at porn

2/11/2011 11:54:54 AM

^^The default android browser does this. Tap menu when inside the browser and go to More. I have noticed that the browser inside of SenseUI doesn't have this option so I can't speak to Moto or Samsung UIs.

2/11/2011 12:46:47 PM

Dolphin Browser has it if your stock one doesn't
