Mine has been shipped via TNT. Dead happy I will be getting it on the 16th as it's my birthday on the 18th of March and the 64gb 4g is my present. All I need now is a case and I'm sorted.
Think the dreaded email will mean we are at the back of the queue. Mine says
16th also but got a feeling with others getting shipped that we will be at least
Monday before we take delivery. Kind of annoying that we have been
disadvantaged just because of where we live
Yes, 9:30am as far as I know
iPhone 4S 32GB White, iPad 2 16GB WiFi White, iPad 3 16GB WiFi Black, Shure SE425's 
At some point in the night my order changed to 'preparing for shipment'.
Same. This is doing nothing to calm my 'first ever iPad' excitement!

Same here.
Yeah same boat ive got a 64 3g black that im trying to flog btn £450 - £500. We have an online noticeboard thing at work where people can flog stuff. I'm hoping someone contacts me for mine.
Got an email this morning to say mine has been shipped by TNT, which means our UPS man will be delivering it!

The same work colleague bought my ipad1 32GB for £350 although I was asking for £400. Since the iPad 2 is a 64GB model and obviously more powerful it should be worth £450 at least especially as mine is in pretty much mint condition. She has already offered to buy it without me even asking but we haven't discussed a price yet. I'll be happy if I get £450 for it although obviously £500 would be nicer.
Yeah an hour back. I like the "or before" bit!

I haven't looked at private sale prices but I'm hoping to get at least £400 for my white 32gb 3G iPad 2. It's still got a few months left of Applecare and it is in mint condition - it got replaced last week by Apple and I haven't taken the cellophane off.
Yeah that's the deal ive got been using it since i picked up my iPad 2 last April.
Its basically an iPhone 4 payg micro sim deal. You can pick one up from the shop and top up £10 then you call up tmobile and ask them to activate your 12 months free internet access.
Tmobile have started clocking on that loads of people are using the micro sims for other non iPhone purposes i.e psp vita, dongles, iPads etc What they have started doing is asking for your iPhone IMEI number. If u have an iPhone 4(s) then no problem but if not you might wanna ask someone who does.
