my iPad mini LTE (At&t) is still in Memphis.... :mad:

It seems like the AT&T model is in very short supply. I did a search using the Apple Store app across the east coast yesterday, and found a decent number of stores with Verizon models in stock, but only found the 16GB AT&T one, and only at one (two?) stores.

I snagged a Verizon one locally, but I may have to return it. I'm keeping a log of my data usage. If the last 3 days are representative, I'll be using 4GB/month.

Nope! None at all, just the exterior brown box was mangey.

Of note though, and no real surprise, the back of the black model is a fingerprint magnet man! Like, if you just look at it funny a smudge shows up.

That's actually why I went with the white version. I think the black looks better, but I don't want it to always look dirty. It was a really hard decision for me because I do think the black is so sharp.
 
my whit eayy 64gb is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Currently out for delivery. Gonna be here by 4:30pm! (finally!)
 
Got my AT&T 16gb today. Very sweet. Do find myself having to pinch to zoom on website text more than on my iPad 3.
But form factor is fantastic. It's like carrying a thin paperback book, even with the smart case on it.
LTE speeds were 22mb/sec down and 19mb/sec up! Not too shabby.

Grandfathered unlimited (which I think they start throttling at 5gb) should be nice.

Best of luck to those still waiting. It's worth the frustration of the last week.

I had my AT&T mini held at FedEx and picked it up this morning. For some reason, when I track my delivery on safari on my computer that it shows my package still in Memphis (I've refreshed it several times and cleared my history, cookies, etc), but safari on my iPhone shows the up to date history.

Those LTE speeds are great! I have the iPhone 5 and have gotten as high as 34mbps down and 23mbps upload in Cleveland.

The pics of the iPads look amazing, thanks! Wanted black but was nervous about scratching and fingerprints. But both look sharp.

Cool beans. From my understanding, AT&T does not throttle the iPad unlimited plans.

That's true: AT&T does not throttle the iPad unlimited plans (there are so few of us). I've gone over 5gb every month since last April, and I haven't been throttled. I hope that it stays that way. :)
 
Received 64GB Black AT&T, one day early. Restored from iCloud and setup LTE by adding to existing account (Mobile Share) all from my iPad without having to call AT&T. The LTE activation took about 2 min! Couldn't be happier - we'll worth the wait!
 
For those still waiting for the "Clearance Delay" to be resolved on an IPad Mini delivery from Memphis, Sunday 11-18-12, I spoke to Apple and they said the deliveries for the 21st should still occur on time. I am not going to hold my breath since they have screwed up this shipment from the beginning and it is still being held waiting for Apple to fix the paper work. I ordered a Slate 32gb ATT mini and it appears I will be waiting even longer. I am sure it will be worth it.

I just spoke to my fed ex rep about 2 hours ago, he said it got fixed early, the system just has not updated. Might see mine in Texas tomorrow.

My 32gb att white mini has taken the whole weekend to go from China to Japan. I think it just left Narito-shi Japan. Says delivery of NEXT Monday. I ordered day of (oct 26).

I'm resorting to living vicariously through those receiving them. Post pics and whether you're pleased if possible! I want to know if this frustrating debacle was worth it.

You will love it when you get it. I got mine on Friday and it's been by my side since then. The size of it is just perfect. I found a case at Best Buy for it that adds very little weight. Ended up sending my smart cover back. It's been in my purse or in my hand ever since.

I can't imagine getting a wifi only one though. The key to this thing is having cellular service on it.

CORRECTION; IT HAS NOT RELEASED!!!! Just spoke with IPD at fed-ex and it is being held by customs. They are hoping it gets cleared early enough tonight to get in the air, and I can see it being delivered tomorrow in Texas. If you need proof here is the direct line to the IPD office (handles customs hold) at Fed Ex 800-455-4588 8a-8p CST.

just talked to them they said 226 items are on hold with customs. If all clears tonight and make it to a plane they will probably deliver tomorrow. No real time is estimated since its customs who handles the paper work. Just pray guys that customs releases before planes load tonight. plane go out from 2am - 4am most of them on that window.
