Verizon today confirmed the contract pricing for the Motorola Xoom. the Motorola Xoom will be available for purchase from Verizon Wireless for $599.99 with a new two-year customer agreement or $799.99 without a contract. Wireless 3G data service for the Motorola Xoom will begin at $20 monthly access for 1GB. The Zoom on a 2 year plan costs as much as a Galaxy Tab off-contract.
The software upgrade to LTE-based 4G is free and still due sometime in the spring (second quarter), Verizon said.
Although not mentioned in the statement, a recent Best Buy ad revealed that the tablet has its Wi-Fi disabled until a subscriber spends at least a month on Verizon’s network.
