DVDWorldUSA are reliable I have bought many things from there, including an iPod Touch
At your above picture hahahaha
Bought plenty of tech goods from abroad (mainly USA and East Asia) and never had to pay an import duties on it. If it's marked as a gift, I believe you can escape paying them.
Of course, this may require a degree of moral flexibility. That being said, if you're paying UK tax rates for everything else, I'm sure you're not too fussed about the morals of denying the bastards in the treasury another unfounded wodge of notes from your wallet.
Doesnt sound too bad, $680 is about £450
not bad, im still going to wait for the 3g though,

What? I said 680
£600 which is still reasonable given shipping etc....

Thanks - will order another iPad then
I will actually go the kill the person who emailed it to me :/
No it doesn't carry over with Three unfortunately. I seem to remember with Vodafone you pay for an amount and that lasts till you use it up. But I found the coverage where I am was crap.
lol how much did you pay for yours again?Thanks - will order another iPad then

And haha I think it is quite funny
If it was so soon why are they being so coy if it was so soon ?
It's not like Apple is a demure princess with a long dress & chastity belt, keeping the allure of the ipad a secret... It's more like a prostitute who's given us all a glimpse of the goods but won't tell us the price
I'll be annoyed with myself if it turns out to be the 23'rd or if it is substantially cheaper than the 680 i have paid.
On brightside my tracking number has just been emailed to me

Waiting is like eating a poison berry... slowly.
Now that's true payg, exactly what I want - I had looked into mifis about a month ago and similar but couldn't find one that did carry over data allowances. I'm sure I looked at Vodafone too and found they didn't carry over either. Anyone know different for sure and can provide links where I can buy such a true payg mifi thing ?
For 16GB? cancel it and buy the 32GB or 64GB (extra £50) from DVDWorldUSA, would be worth it. Don't eBay/PayPal have a 7/14 day return period?
Yeah but can't you return it within 7 days or something? but yeah you can sell it and get a better oneI already have it remember
Although, I could easily sell this one here.
It looks like Voda might have changed their policy. I bought a dongle to try about nine months ago and at that time I think you got 1Gb for £15 but it lasted till used up. I used it several times over a period of around 6 months. I didn't use it much due to poor 3G coverage where I live. But looking at their website it seems they have gone for the timeout in a month option as well now.

I'll sell it - I know just the person who wants one - they offered me £700 for it
Goodbye iPad - temporarily 
I was told that if I get a Mifi unlocked, I can put my iPhone's O2 sim card in it. Anyone able to confirm?
I fear that's the way data dongles / mifis / whatever are going to go now - no roll over of data. Which is a massive pain for me as I'd take months to use up even 1GB for what I would need it for. Which would be once a week for about twenty minutes, and that's it. ATM I use my 3gs and the included data allowance, but the iPad would be a better experience for that particular situation.
I have a jailbroken 1st gen iphone with mywi that I could stick a payg sim with data in, if I could find one that would allow data to last until I used it all up. It would be a slow data speed, but better than nothing in a pinch.
The thing that puts me off a 3g iPad (if it ever appears, lol) is the lack of roll over of data as I'd be such a low volume user, but use it regularly. If we are to assume such data tariffs would follow the current trend that is.
Any word on whether there will be pre-orders/store reservations or is it in-store on the day only?
They stopped the £15 for 1GB that doesn't expire plan at the end of last year. You still might be able to find the dongles around that are on that price plan. I saw one in WH Smith the other day.
It should mention the £15 for 1GB on the box and it needs to be on a price plan called "TopUp and Go Mobile Broadband"
eBay if used with a degree of intelligence is mostly safe, but your always gonna get thieveing dirty b---ards, it just the way of the world.
One thing to be prepared for is uk customs, my ipads been there since the 6th. They re not in any hurry at all.
