what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here in the past if you wanted to get your motorola xoom on you had to pick up a verizon model or a Wi-Fi only model but what if you're on another carrier for example AT&T and you want to take your tablet with you and you want to have cellular data well you were up the metaphorical creek without a tablet cattle our friends at negri electronics have a solution they sent us over a motorola xoom with AT&T 3g bands on board so let's go ahead not slice off a finger and dig in alright so this guy is new in the box and it is a bit of a different box you can see some of the specs on the back telling about the zoom we know the zoom we know what it's got we know it's got the 10.1 inch screen with 1280 x 800 resolution same device pretty much that I've done the review on however what we haven't seen is how it performs with a gsm network so if you are in the US on 80 or if you're in canada on Roger of any other compatible network with the 850 band you're going to be able to get yo with 3g on so let's take a look see we're going to get in the box maybe they'll be some surprises maybe it'll be a samsung galaxy tab in here lift up the box this thing is taped shut so we will have our tape killer come on in and kill it tape is dead so my condolences to the tapes family and friends it is no longer with us so here we've got the motorola xoom with my overhead fan in the reflection it Wow looks totally different on the back actually on the verizon model that we reviewed in the past it was all the same color black now we're looking at black and silver button location that was still in the same spot on the rear at the front of the device so looks just identical what's the kelso i powered it on so push it off to the side for just a moment motorola xoom got all your zoom cables and accessories got your thing this is the sinking cable we've got a European power cord and then we've got the charging brick that goes with it yeah yeah accessories fun time but let's take a look at the zoom I just threw that box on the floor because that's how I roll I hate boxes I know you guys also really love screen protectors so I'm going to go ahead and pull it off before I get screamed at in the comments so I'll set this guy up I'll come right back and we'll see how it works with AT&T alright so we are good to go very easy to get this guy up and running there's a sim card located in the upper left-hand corner same spot on the verizon model where the LTE sim card will go go ahead and drop it in this will work on tmobile as well if you don't mind just having some edge service you're going to have to at this point restart the device if you haven't done this yet which is very easy going to want to go into settings go ahead and open that up here and then tell your no internet connection you go to about tablet or wireless networks and device to check out all your information go to mobile networks and then you're going to want to select your mobile operators going to do a search it will pull up either AT&T or t-mobile select your network and you're going to be good to go and normal zoom experience some interesting things that about this tablet that's different than the other zoom models that I've seen this back now is actually aluminum it's not that same soft touch sort of rubber material that we've seen on previous versions it actually feels really nice and gives it a higher quality fuel I think holding the aluminum model if you're considering the motorola xoom like looking at some other Android tablets as well it's not to be interested in bringing a comparison here very quickly here is the just released Galaxy Tab 10.1 they both share those same internals of nvidia tegra two little ones upside down and go ahead and keep that back around you can see there's certainly a pretty decent size difference here although this one is going to give you 3g on 18 to your t-mobile something to keep in mind if you want to get your 3g zoom on and go ahead and get zooming these guys are available now from our friends at negri electronics links going to be down below i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i'll see you in the next video you
