I thought the 3 works on ATT and VZW. Since its not subsidized, you should be able to choose your carrier independantly. I haven't read anywhere that its locked.
Got a tip for us?

that's what i was planning on doing to but not sure if verizon is faster in the bay area then att?
Where is it confirmed or clear that aT&T and VZ have different models?
Something stronger than ENgadget's

I've had both the iPad 1 & 2, but I've decided to make this one my first 4G (well, duh...) iPad.
Which iPad 4G should I buy considering I want to be able to use a 4G or 3G SIM from a different carrier in another country when I'm in Sweden this summer. Does it matter? I would like to have Verizon here in the US, but do that iPad model work with GSM carriers in Europe (have no idea if 4G uses GSM, I'm lost when it comes to that type of technology)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm hoping to pre-order a 64 gig + 4G as soon as possible.

Anyone know about AT&T or Verizon restricting the use as a personal hotspot?
I saw this on Apple Insider, CNet, and somewhere else (forget where).

Now I just want to know what the data plan options will be, doesn't seem like apple is posting them.
Does Verizon LTE fall back to CDMA or EVDO 1x or Rev A.?? Cause I would assume AT&T 4G falls back to HSDPA 3g.

What is confirmed? That you have to purchase for the carrier you want to use for 4G LTE? True, we already knew that, but what about 3G?
I called AT&T and asked if I can move over my iPad account over to the new iPad. She said yes. I then said that I have the original iPad 1 w/unlimited plan and she also said yes.
Then again, all this is so new that can I trust what she said? Remember, new throttled means 5gb on 4G so does that mean will I effectively get 5GB unthrottled on my new iPad 4G for $30/mo?

Exactly. People may be I'm for a shock to go from LTE to CDMA speeds.
Vs AT&T LtE (blazing fast in Orlando) which default to HSPA plus (still very fast up to 21mbs).

No. Verizon only does CDMA voice and LTE data. Verizon hopes to do LTE voice and data by end of 2013.
Here are the data plans. Now AT&t is offering even less for $30, lol

How's that? They are both offering 2G for $30.

Exactly. At least AT&T has a $15 plan for the non-heavy users.
One question, if you choose the $15 plan and go over 250MB does it charge you overages right away or does it warn you beforehand? Or does it automatically just give you another 250MB for another $15?
I guess the big question is, do I still have to pay AT&T to use the iPad 3 internationally, or can I stick in a SIM from another carrier and use their data plan?
Yup. Was thinking of getting the Verizon one but no $20 1GB plan seals the deal. Sticking with wifi. The only instance I'd need service on the go is for browsing when away from wifi. $30 is too much for the little I would use.
Great, Thanks! I go backpacking a lot (mostly Asia) and last time I just took an iPod Touch for language resources (Pleco!). Worked fine at hot spots, but having maps and access to online translator services would be great and I can't justify the cost of an unlocked iPhone.
