Farcical Xoom 4G Upgrade Plan Requires 6-Day Mail-In Operation | Gadget Lab | Wired.com ⇥

So, let me get this straight: you drop $800 on a new device, mail in a couple of rebates valued at $200, subscribe to a data plan and yet it still doesn’t have full functionality? And to get the intended finished product, you have to be without it for a week for Motorola to finish it, at some point in the undetermined future?

Sounds like a winner.
