May I ask why you chose the size & chose to have 3G? Curiosity! |
It was odd. They gave out water, no tea, but the problem was in the store. We moved very fast into it and then nothing happened. I spent at least an hour looking at the tills not moving!
I got to the till, swiped some gift cards i had, then my card got declined much to my horror and it was awkward. I tried my credit card instead, declined. At this point i twigged it was their system as my debit card and credit card are with two different banks. Next, everyones cards were being declined and the payment system was confirmed as down. They phoned up VISA and everything went though! Phew!
All in all, an awful experence. I never go to these things and this validated my reasons why. Hate it. Only went because I was worried about stock and had been waiting for iPad 2 for ages (had gift cards for Christmas but didn't spent as I was waiting).
I went for 32 gig because it's the same size as my phone and my media collection is over 16 gig already. That's not including videos. 64gb excessive. I went with 3G because I may want to take it to work, on train journeys, and so on. If I no longer need my contract is a rolling 1 month one with Three so I can cancel at any time and go with Orange's PAYG tariff. (Benefits of buying unlocked kids!).

Oh, Damien, another question. Well, three.
Did you go for a Smart Cover or other case? Polyurethane or leather?

Smart Cover. Leather Black. I went for that partly because it felt nicer but mostly because I wanted black. It feels ok but I am not sure I would recommend leather. Not worth the increase unless you want on the colors.

Anyway. I have a lot of apps I have wanted to try for a long time already downloaded. iPad is syncing as we speak. The Times app, some games, flipboard and other 'social news' apps.
