I don't like feeling like I have to ration my data use, but I want to see just how much 250MB is--so I will buy that first.

I'll see how far I make it with wifi before I give AT&T more money. Just like having the option...

Well that sentiment lasted a day. Went for unlimited data so I could use the iPad on a long drive. The 3G worked great! Nice knowing I can cancel next month with no worries.

I really don't have a need for the 3G service right now, but I want to make sure it works OK. I think I will buy the 250MB for the first month to make sure all is well, and also to see how long the 250MB lasts.

I haven't heard anything bad at all about the 3G service from friends that got the 3G model. Surprising? Not sure, but the feedback I've heard thus far is glowing.

Re: 3G arrives tomorrow ... which AT&T plan will you get?

I'm gonna go with the smaller plan as well, once mine gets here. I have WiFi at home and work, so the 3G is to fill in places, not be the primary. I'm hoping it will last through the month with no issue. If it doesn't last, I'm gonna have to evaluate which online tasks I can use my iPhone for rather than the iPad while out and about. I really don't want to have to pay another $30 per month.

30 Days - HA! I used more than 250 in ONE HOUR, just watching Lost on the ABC player app.
