No, wifi only. Don't confuse me
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

I've had iPad's since they were released - I got them on the basis that they are easier to lug around to meetings and overseas that a laptop... I've never really needed the 3G - I just log on to the local wifi's and it's always been fine.
I know a couple of people with the 3G versions - they have 3G contracts that cost as much as a mobile phone. Crazy. Actually, it's the same people that are bankrupt that i mentioned on another thread, go figure....0 -
DH and I are addicted to our ipads, it's quite tragic...
They are fab for keeping the kids occupied on long journeys too,
Lulabelle I am constantly amazed by how many gadgets are bought by people who really cannot afford them. It's the same with SKY. We don't have it as it seems so expensive, but it's so often on SOAs for people on really tight budgets.
