Which will you be choosing? The AT&T or Verizon model?

I like AT&T much better. Where I'm at, it's about a tie on service. Verizon is just a hair above AT&T. But I can't swap out sim cards in verizon. So AT&T will be the one for me.

Neither. Going wifi only and tether for free via my jailbroken iPhone. But if I had to choose it would be the AT&T one because AT&T's data network is faster and I don't have a problem with their coverage in my area.

Verizon has much better service in my area, so not really a choice.

So, we can for sure pick one up @ AT&T right?

Where is the best bet of getting an AT&T version on Friday? Best Buy? AT&T?

Since it's a data only device, you don't have to worry about dropped calls, so if I had AT&T, I'd get the AT&T model. If I had VZW, I'd get the VZW model, however, as another poster in this thread already mentioned, I'd get the wifi only model and tether for free to a jailbroken iPhone.

A big neither for me as well. I personally believed that the iPad2 should have sported an LTE radio rather than 3G for VZW/ATT. That convinced me to put my stock in wifi model and use the hotspot feature in my iPhone4. If the iPhone5 comes with LTE, I'm pretty sure that most people that bought the 3G iPad2 will tether as well.
But if I had to choose, I'll rock an ATT model simply because it's faster in my area and I can swap the SIM out.
Cheers!

Which carrier is better if you dont want 3G service the entire month? With my Sprint HotSpot feature then I can turn it on and off so I only get charged per day rather than per month, the problem is I need to talk to a rep to do it. Does it work the same with Verizon and ATT? Because I would prefer to turn service on within an app rather than through a phone call.
