    Cellular data: how much are you using?

    Close to 5gb per month. I have an AT&T "unlimited" plan, and they throttle me over 5gb. I stream radio throughout the day over LTE, and I watch video, download apps, podcasts and app updates when I'm on wifi at home. I don't have access to wifi at work.

    Official waiting for iPad Mini pre-order pajama party!

    Will we be able to preorder the LTE versions tonight even though they're shipping after the wifi models?

    Black & Slate or White & Silver

    I'm getting black because my 4S is white, and I'm ready for a change. I really like both options, though.

    Ordered my iPhone 5

    I set the alarm on my 4S to wake me up, but it didn't go off (and it wasn't set on silent and the ringer was on full), but I happened to wake up at 3:30 am CST. I'm on the "ship in two weeks" group to deliver on October 2nd. I guess that my 4S is jealous and doesn't want to leave me. :D

    Did you choose Verizon or At&t and why?

    I went with AT&T because I'm grandfathered in their unlimited data plan, and I'm in the Dallas area, and we have good LTE coverage here (headquarters is here). AT&T says that they won't throttle unlimited iPad users, but we'll how long that they stay with that position. I don't travel much...

    What is your absolute favorite case for your new iPad?

    Picked up a Belkin snap shield for the new iPad at best buy this evening. With that and the smart cover, I'm set! :)

    So anyone with a 32gb thinking they should've gone 64gb instead?

    After loading up my apps and all of my photos, my 32gb was almost used up, so I swapped for a 64gb. Of course, I don't have to keep all of those photos on my iPad, but I like having them there with iPhoto now available, and spending $100 to double the storage is worth it for me. I plan on...

    Your thoughts on USING the Retina display?

    I upgraded from the ipad2, and it was worth it for the screen alone!

    Are you happy with your new iPad?

    I'm so glad that I upgraded from the pad 2: the screen is sooo beautiful, and the LTE on AT&T is blazing fast!

    Possible to arrange Delivery time w/ FedEx?

    On the Apple products that I've received from Fedex, they wouldn't release the product to me until at least one delivery attempt had been made. I had previously called fedex, and the rep placed a hold for pickup; however, when I got to the depot on the morning of delivery, the counter rep said...

    Let's band together and storm the distribution centers with pitchforks and torches! :D

    iPad tracking thread

    I got my shipment notification for my white 32gb AT&T model just now: no tracking info yet. My black 32gb AT&T is still processing. I ordered the black on 3/7 at 4:30 CST, and I ordered the white an hour later.

    iPad tracking thread

    I seriously doubt that they'd give it to you early, but if you don't mind the drive and possible frustration, it might be worth a shot. :)

    iPad tracking thread

    Don't be surprised if many don't see an update in shipping status over the weekend, but the iPads will still deliver on the 16th as stated. My iPhone 4s stayed in "processing" for days while so many others were getting tracking numbers, but mine still arrived on launch day.

    Crazy prediction: That's not an iPad in the picture

    That's the truth: on other forums that I visit, you get flamed for everything. I've gotten to where I won't ask a question unless it's on iMore.

    How much data did you use last billing cycle?

    I got the first warning at 2.09 gb on my last billing cycle. I went on to use 2.4 gb for that month. I'm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I normally use between 2 and 4 gb per month by streaming radio and podcasts. The only place that I have accessible wifi is at home unless I want to spend the...

    What job do you have that you use your Iphone 4S?

    Interesting topic: it's nice to hear about people using their iDevices in their jobs after being so used to hearing that iPhones and iPads were just toys and that if you wanted to get real work done you needed a BB. My employer doesn't issue phones, but I do use it to listen to the radio at my...
