By now you have heard that the iPad is going to be shipped unlocked. That’s absolutely phenomenal. You might have also heard about how the device isn’t going to have a contract. That’s even better than phenomenal, for consumers in San Francisco, across the Bay Area, and around the country.
And, you might have also heard there are two versions of the iPad coming out, one style equipped with 3G and one that only possess Wi-Fi. Well, AT&T and Apple have a special partnership as far as the iPad goes, with a plan for 250MB a month for $14.99 or unlimited date for $29.99. That of course for the 3G model.
If you’re going the AT&T route, that’s really a no-brainer. Go unlimited.
The problem with T-Mobile is that there isn’t going to be a 3G route. It’s because Apple’s device is compatible with four different frequencies including 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. T-Mobile’s 3G service runs on 1700 Mhrz, so that option goes out the window.
Of course, you’ll still be able to get EDGE but with a device this media heavy, you’re going to want 3G and not EDGE.
See what I mean?
So you’re stuck with another service provider and if that service provider is AT&T and you’re here in San Francisco, it might mean you don’t purchase an iPad with 3G.
Why?
Well, to save yourself from the inevitable headaches of course.
