So I was lucky enough to get an iPad 2 on launch at 5pm 3/11. I ended up getting the white iPad 2, after initiating yet another HUGE white vs black debate. After a week or so, honestly I could not stand the white model for several reasons, including some hardware (non white) issues such as backlight bleeding so on Thursday I had just given up on the white model and went in to best buy to return it. At this point I was ready to get back in line and possibly wait the three weeks from apple store. However, as I was returning my white iPad the apple guy at BB informed they had just received a shipment of iPads, literally five minutes before I had arrived. Most were preorders save a select few, among those was the exact one I wanted, the 32 GB 3G AT&T BLACK!!! Made an even exchange!! And just like that my issue was resolved and here I am with my black iPad!
