How many of you are buying the Wi-Fi Version now and the 3G Version later?

I am wondering how many of you out there are really wanting the iPad so bad that you are willing to buy the Wi-Fi version now, and then when the Wi-Fi +3G comes out buy that one as well and either keep the first Wi-Fi version you bought or sell it on E-Bay?

I am considering that but not sure if I will go through with it. I am sure I could get most of my money back on E-Bay or even if a bit less is ok. I do have the Wi-Fi + 3G version on pre-order but, I have a strange feeling there will be a delay on the Wi-Fi + 3G version and it will be Mid May or end of May before we get that one.

What are your opinions out there on this?
 
i know I dont apply, but im just getting the wifi.

i have a iphone 3gs, i dont want to have two 3G plans.

buying a WIFI and returning it later for the 3G is a bit...extra IMO.

I started out pre-ordering a WiFi-only model on the Friday when they opened the gates. By Saturday I had second thoughts and pre-ordered a 3G model as well. I just couldn't stand having to wait another 30+ days before getting my iPad. So I will use the WiFi model until I get the 3G and then do .... something with the WiFi. Maybe give it to my daughter. Maybe eBay. Maybe sell it to someone at work. I figure I wasted more money on sillier things. :)

I have no needs for the 3G, I can access via WiFI anywhere I go now. I barely use more than 50mb on my iPhone monthly. I do plan to get 3G unit when my iPhone contract ends a year or two from now. I'll get a simple phone and use the 3G on iPad instead. I don't use the voice and don't care much for SMS. 98% is data on my iPhone.

I hear you. I just may pull the trigger on a Wi-Fi version so I can be playing with it for 4-6 weeks before the Wi-Fi + 3G version comes out. I have a friend who might buy it too, or there is like you say and I said earlier, E-bay buyers will buy anything. :D
