Thats what I'm going to do, but I see it on amazon or something, and they ship it out on the 23rd and I can get 1 day shipping, I'll do that because with the money I can save on tax I can get an accessory for it :/I don't think I'm going to do the pre-order, I'll just take my chances on getting one once they launch. That will give me a chance to scrape up a few extra dollars. It does make me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who is willing to spend $800 + tax + activation fee to get one. That's A LOT of money but you only live once I guess.
I'm a little worried. I just went to my local best buy and they had no idea on how to take a pre order for the xoom and after they read some paper they took my pre order.
What I'm worried about is that they didn't put my name on any list. They just took my name and number and gave me the receipt with the gift card. They told me they would call me when they had the xoom ready for pick up. I remember with the evo I had to fill out some paper and was put on some list and I was a certain number. Should I be worried or is this normal?

Problem with pre-orders is it locks into Best Buy. I did this on the iphone 4 and you cannot trust every Best buy store will get any even if they tell you they will. So what happens is if they don't you have to wait until they get stock or go try and hunt one down somewhere else. If can't find one at a Best Buy but find one at another retailer get stuck with Best Buy gift card you may or may not want. Inventory may not be a problem so might be moot.
Would also not surprise me if wifi version come out on the 24th and Best Buy is just doing pre-orders on the 3g version to try and lock people down on the 3g.
My strategy is to wait and see what happens on the 24th. Patience although hard has usually worked in my favor on these kinds of deals.
