As info. I stood in line at best buy yesterday and hey gave out order cards for each person in order to secure the model they wanted. When they got to me they only had me down for a Verizon 3G. I had read the specs and even tho I wasn't going to activate 3G (I only wanted it for the built in GPS chipset) I still preferred the AT&T. But as it turns out when I got in the store they didn't even have the White Ipad 32GB on either carrier. But today when they called me back with the apology and to tell me they got a 32 GB White 3G in with my name on it, I was happy when I found out it was AT&T. I didn't do any activations. I see the AT&T bars on it. I got a few messages before I hooked up to my Verizon MiFi and my home Wifi about "Would you like to activate 3G". But I know for a fact that walking outside with my miff sitting stationary a few feet away, I can walk and see my ipad move on the map. The 3G gives excellent location services. Either GPS or Cell Towers adding a bit more to the location feature.
