Were you one of the first people to get your hands on the Motorola Xoom, Google’s flagship tablet and the first device to run Android Honeycomb? Are you really excited about the speed and other benefits that come with 4G LTE, but have been too lazy up until now to send your tablet back to Verizon to get the upgrade? Well time’s a wastin’ because this special offer from Verizon ends March 31st.
The first-generation Motorola Xoom started shipping in the beginning of 2011 with 3G only, but promised a free upgrade for all owners to 4G LTE once the technology and hardware were able to coexist in peace and harmony. Once that day arrived in late September, Xoom buyers had to ship their overpriced tablet back to the carrier to receive the surgery and eventually get their device back satisfied that it received a free speed boost. Six months later, Verizon is tired of dealing with you people, and it wants you to know that if you haven’t upgraded your Xoom to 4G LTE yet, it’s now or never.
Luckily, those who have already upgraded are almost unanimously reporting a quick and painless experience. While Motorola originally boasted just two weeks for the entire ship-upgrade-receive process, some users were elated to find that their Xoom was working with 4G in only four days.
If you’re ready to take the plunge into the wonderful world of LTE, get started with the upgrade on Verizon’s website.
