iPad EU News (Abandon all hope, ye who enter here..) ("Are you nuts?!" - Steve) - 2

Has anyone received ordered which have been shipped via "G3 WORLDWIDE NETHERLANDS BV".

I had notification that it has shipped but because it's postal there is no way to track! :(

Does it end up being delivered by royal mail or parcel force in the UK?
 
Delivery 1 of 2 done - UPS brought the accessories, TNT are bringing the iPad. Slightly different experience with the delivery guy than was reported in the US forums - quote: "I'm absolutely sick to bloody death of these iPad things now. 22 deliveries today!"

you'd think he'd be pleased that he had work to do! Some people really don't understand the bigger picture.
 
Got my 3G at 11:15 this morning. Very pleased and wife has her wifi model back now. Using a mifi with this but cut up a Three sim just to see what it's like. It's very sensitive, picks up where I am usually struggling. Sat in local supermarket cafe typing this. Only a few funny looks :)
 
Ahhhhhh! the wait is killing me!!!!

Why did I look at the UPS web site this morning.

If I hadn't, I would have been happy with getting on Friday as expected;)
 
Does anyone have any experience with using a sim in a mifi that's not supposed to be in there? My sister has a 3 dongle that is prepaid for 12 months with 3gb data allowance and will let me have it for £50. Do we think it's worth the gamble or are three likely to block the sim?
 
Finally! Delivered by UPS 1day ahead of schedule here in France.

Can't wait to be @Home. :cool:

I have that too. I'm waiting for an iPad case being sent via G3. As far as I can see there is absolutely nowhere that you can track using the tracking number Apple will have given you. No obvious courier accepts any of the numbers given.

Is that 3gb to last you 12 months or 3gb per month for 12 months?
They shouldn't block it. I read somewhere that had been sorted out now. They are welcoming iPads with open arms now.
 
Picked up my iPad from UPS this evening after they tried to deliver it when I was at work today. Very helpful they were too actually. Quite busy in the depot and a couple of people picking up ipads.

Absolutely loving the iPad so far although I think my 4 year old daughter is more excited about it than me! I had to prise it out of her hands when she wanted just one more go on Shrek Kart HD!

Posted from my iPad of course! Liking the keyboard so far.
 
Whats the chance of PC world and currys selling docks and the other accessories? Or are they just selling the device..?

Good question! I'd have thought they must have some accessories if they've got the ipads themselves. I might have to nip down to have a look, I'm after a third party case rather than an apple one though, it'll be interesting to see when they start hitting the shelves in the uk.

Yeah, I really need a dock. Hopefully my cheap case will arrive tomorrow aswell but for now Im propping the iPad on a towel.
 
I'd love a dock but not sure I can justify £25 on a piece of plastic. I am however very nervous about laying my iPad down somewhere whilst it is charging so a dock might be essential to keep it safe.

3GB per month for 12 months. I'm considering jail breaking my iPhone now though :)

Ive bought the dock from apple, hopefully get it by tuesday. But because my ipd cant charge through usb, is there a way to charge my ipad through the dock?
 
Typing on my iPad! Got it this morning from the cambs store. Didn't expect them to still have stock at 11 when I got there but they had loads let! Was well worth the wait. Loving it!!

Amazing deal. Grab it. 36gb in effect valid for 12 months. Wow.

Oh I know the price was perfect, was just worried about the issue of three blocking the sim. I have mywi working as we speak though so is tempting to take the unlimited (as long as I don't make it obvious what I'm doing by using it all the time) free route!
