iPad 2 UK Thread

Vodafone pricing

You can either commit to a 24 month data plan, which will subsidise the cost of the iPad 2 as part of the deal, or you can foot the full bill for the device and simply pick up a monthly rolling micro SIM-only contract. There’s also a Pay As You Go option, so there really is something for everyone.
The 24-month contract plan is a fixed £27 per month (£24.50 for existing customers) regardless of the model, with an initial £229 payment for the entry-level 16GB Wi-Fi and 3G model. The 32GB model will set you back £279, while the top-of-the-range 64GB version will cost £379.*These will all get you a 2GB data allowance and a 1GB Wi-Fi allowance, while straying outside of the bundle will cost you £15 per 1GB of data.
Want to buy your 3G-capable iPad outright? That’ll cost you £499 for the 16GB model, £569 for the 32GB and £645 for the 64GB, and you’ll want one of the accompanying data plans.
These start from £3 per month, which will get you 250MB of data. Next up is the £7.50 per month plan, which will snag you 500MB of data and 1GB Wi-Fi allowance. The premium deal sees you paying £15 a month for 2GB of data and 1GB Wi-Fi allowance.
If you really don’t like the thought of taking out a contract for your iPad 2, but still want that go-anywhere 3G connectivity, you can just buy one of Vodafone’s Pay As You Go micro SIMs – £5 will get you 250MB of data, which will last you 30 days.

So in essence, £5 gets you one without the queue? if they have stock of the one i'm after. interesting.

Anyone think arriving at 1pm at Regent Street will be good enough?

I would have thought so - they are meant to have the most stock of any store in Europe. If 4 hours queueing there isn't going to get you one I would expect that everyone else is completely stuffed.

just set up a site very quickly;

www.ipad2queue.co.uk

would like some people to help, so if your going to a queue, would you be able to keep a live feed, using an iPhone app, that pushes straight to the website??

blogging things like queue sizes, photos of queues, other exciting things etc..

if you help, that'd help a lot of people on here.

already got Meadowhall UK, and Chermside, AU

I'll be at the Glasgow Apple Store tomorrow. Tweet sent.
 
Half day off booked. I'm going to forego ordering online, and cross my finders extra hard instead. Will be heading down to the Norwich Apple store around midday to see what's going on, and picking up some Sushi on the way.

This is insanity, but damned if I'm not going to do it anyway. Met some really good friends queuing for the midnight launch of the Wii.

It is insanity. That's why I like it :)
 
Am I right in assuming most Apple Stores will do the sensible thing and walk up the queue, noting what models people want, and let people know if there's no point queueing?

I really don't mind queuing for hours if I'm gonna get the one I want, but id hate to queue for hours just to be turned away...

I really hope so for the same reason. I am planning on arriving at around 2pm and am hoping they can at least let me know if I am going to be able to get what I am after. Queueing is bad enough, queueing for nothing would kill me.
