Carphone Warehouse marginally reduces the price of the Motorola XOOM to £579.99

It’s definitely not a new trend, especially after seeing UK retailer Dixons dropping the price of its unreleased Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi, but now it’s Carphone Warehouse’s turn to follow suit with a similar reduction.

For some brief time now, the retailer has been selling the GSM version of the Motorola XOOM for £600 with no contracts required, but now they’ve managed to marginally drop its priced. Granted that the savings isn’t as staggering as some would hope for, but its new £579.99 price tag is nonetheless appreciated. Although we won’t fully be able to realize the justification for the new lower cost, it’ll hopefully spur some sales for the Honeycomb flavored Android tablet.

And if you want to pick one up with a 2-year contract, which requires you to side with a £25 per month plan, you’ll only need to scrounge up £200 to pick up the Motorola XOOM.
