Just curious which 3G iPad do you use? Verizon or AT&T model?

To me it seams the AT&T (GSM) model is much better...I mean its unlocked and AT&T's 3G network has much more speed potential and traveling with your iPad would be much nicer in terms of not having to deal with roaming!

Made the thread because I'm interested in getting an iPad especially since I just graduated and I'd like to see what people use since I've had my head tucked away in the iPhone forum :p:D:D:apple:
 
Using the Verizon version right now. No issues for me.

I use Verizon. I didn't have too much of a choice. Although since I have an AT&T iPhone 4 it makes it easy to tether when not in verizon access.
 
I travel for business and often not in densely populated areas therefore I chose Verizon. No issues, speed is acceptable.
 
SIM Version

iPad Prepay plan are cheap everywhere. So if you are travalling, it will save you hell a lot of money. Just get a iPad prepay card and then you're online :D
 
I often travel internationally, so the GSM (AT&T) version is the clear choice for me. I spend weeks at a time in locations with no WiFi coverage, so my GSM iPad is a godsend.
