04/06 Update,
Currently there's a serious 3G cellular data connection problem in the new iPad 3/4G WiFi. I've strongly believed there's a bug in iOS 5.1 or Qualcomm radio chipset & it driver having bug for the new iPad.
Since Day 1 03/16 new iPad launch day, the day I've purchased my new iPad 32GB + 3/4G + WiFi, it has been plaguing with 3G cellular data not connected, no activated problem. A daily of 3~5 power cycles was needed in order to get the 3G data working again. All fixes like below from many sides was just help to fix the problem temporary. The fixes like,1. Reset all settings, useless & only temp fix.
2. Erase all contents and settings, useless & only temp fix.
3. Reset network setting, useless & only temp fix.
4. ISP replaced a complete SIM card, useless & only temp fix.
5. ISP reset iPad celllular data line in their network system, useless & only temp fix.
6. Single iPad sim or multi-sim line, same headache.
7. Apple replaced with 1 new (refurbished?) unit, stil the same problem.
Hopefully Apple next iOS 5.2 release really solve this big problem for all the users, worldwide. Until then, my advice to all potential new iPad owner especially most of the countries still using 3G network, to be seriously take this issue into consideration before forking out your money.Last but not least, I demanded Apple to stand out and apologies to all users who are suffering this issue, worldwide. I am not speculating this big problem. There's already plenty of users who are suffering this issue since the new iPad Day-1 Launch 03/16 across many country, worldwide. Another lame explaination or execuses like "Just avoid use it or hold it that way" will make us feel worst. I've strongly think Apple really owe us a big time and I've believed a compliment of thing like bumper case will not making anyone of us feel contented, worldwide.
All bro & sis who're suffering cellular data not connected problem, please help to stand forward, do not be afraid and start pouring in your status in this sequence, Victim's name, ISP/Network, Conutry. Many thanks first!

New iPad victims across "4 CONTINENTS" with 3/4G cellular data not connected problem. -
自第一天03/16 新iPad推出日以來，我購買了新iPad 32GB 3/4G，就一直被它的 3G數據網無法連接困擾著。
每一天差不多需要3〜5個重新開機才能解決連接問題。讓我有點覺得很丟臉。不知香港的機友有無這樣的煩惱？
每當遇到這樣的連接問題重新開機是必要的。任何其他方式會除了比較折騰﹐問題還是無法得到解決。
我跟很多歐美國家的機友﹐嘗試了很多解決方案﹐都只是暫時修復不過還是無法根治這個問題。
以下是所有嘗試過的修復步驟﹐
1。重置所有設置，無用的，只有暫時修復。
2。清除所有內容和設置，無用的，只有暫時修復。
3。復位網絡設置，無用的，只有暫時修復。
4。網絡商更換了幾個新SIM卡，也沒用的，只有暫時修復。
5。網絡商在他們的網絡系統，重置我的 iPad 數據線﹐無用的，只有臨時修復
6。蘋果換1個嶄新的new iPad，還是同樣的問題。
我不是在散播謠言﹐已經有大量的 new iPad 用戶正在遭受這個很折騰的問題，我相信這是 new iPad 其中的 Qualcomm 3/4G 數據芯片組問題或是其驅動出現問題﹐不然就是 iOS5.1 存在 BUGS。我和很多歐美機友非常希望蘋果未來的iOS5.2版本確實為所有用戶解決這個大問題。 -

好啦，終于有網路媒體公開報道我和好幾百用戶被折騰和困擾的問題了。感動中。。。

05/1 Update,
With my Singtel celllular data line, some time I could switch the APN name between "e-ideas" & "internet" and it work without a reboot needed. But sometimes I'll still need to reboot my new iPad as swapping both name just couldn't help to get the connection.
I can travel in Singapore from North East to South, to West, to East. From Punggol to Tampines, Katong, Marina Square, 313, Wisma Astria, ION, Shaw Centre, PS, Alexandra/Leng Kee Road, Mustafa area, Rangoon Road(Ng Ag Sio BKT) from time to time run into this silly "Could not activate cellular data network" "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
One and half month of countless frustration, still did not hear anything from the stupid Apple Engineering team. They simply just keep quiet about their issues. The way they handling the crisis are even worst than crappy & much smaller size HTC company with recent One-X screen chaos, that was more worse issue as you often need to see the display in a day. Under the lady boss/chairman Ms. Cher Wang 王雪紅 instructions, they did provide some info to Taiwan press & internet media when they put up the inquiry about the screen issues with HTC.
So Mr. Tim Cook, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? Or you're just another apprentice of Mr. Martin Yan, are still shooting the "TIM CAN COOK SHOW", so has absolutely no time for our issue? What about your Engeering team? Are they trained to handle with "CRISIS"? -
Some of my thoughts,
Since when, the consumer world has became so pathetic?
Since when, the consumers are at the mercy of a brand? In this case Apple.
Since when, buying a new product should keep our fingers cross?
Since when, buying a new product are like putting your fate on a Russian roulette chance?
Since when, it was the consumer fault not accepting a defective product?
Since when, a consumer have to blame him/herself if you've just newly purchased a "DOA" tablet?
Since when, a consumer are supposed to be happy with a newly purchased but defective product?
Since when, a consumer are suppose to sell off the newly purchased defect product at his very own cost and losses?
Btw, there's already tonnes of victims in this new iPad constantly no 3G connection issues. There's also many of them don't bother to join a forum or make a posting as they know absolutely no one in the forum can help them except Apple. -
05/10 update,
I've done my iOS 5.1.1 update through WiFi 3 days ago.
Since then, I have been tested both WiFi and cellular data on all the time during the test, to see if auto switching fixed. Also tried turning-off either one to see any manual switch fixed too. Tested different combo at 6 different areas which I've used to suffering the 3G cellular data no connection issue. So far the iOS 5.1.1 has fixed the problem totally, and infact it even fixes the weak WiFi issue too.
One thing I did noted, the battery seem like drain slightly faster than before. I don't know whether this is just my illusion, or it is the iOS 5.1.1 packaged with firmwares for wireless chipsets Broadcomm & Qualcomm has re-distributing more voltages or current so both chipsets working ok now. Even if that was the case, I'm pretty fine with that approach which consider better option than no 3G data and I'm gonna live with that till the next iPad (4?) or any other better tablet show up.
Yes, I am really enjoying the new iPad since yesterday night 05/08 06:45 pm. I'm gonna marked this date as the victory day for everyone who's has actively participating this problem thread in most iPad forums around the world, including those in the Apple Support Comminuties forum! All credits go to all posting by all the victims of this issue here and the rest in many other forum from around the world. Remembered most ppl including me, have always preferred a calm solution and have never try to put anything to go this ugly in the first, like this issue experiencing by all. Think together we've really put up a good fight against the almighty Apple.
Yes, the fixed is here, but it could have been end up in better approach. Too bad Apple choosed to fixed that in rather ugly fashion. It's a lesson learned for all victims and Apple. Let us hope Mr. Tim Cook are indeed a better man than the old & gone SJ.

希望 Apple 在推出下個 iOS 5.2 或是 5.1.1 能根本解決一群 new iPad 用戶們所面對的問題。不過在之前﹐我真心告誡所有想入手 new iPad 3G+WiFi 版本新用戶﹐買入前先認真思考這 3G數據網無法連接所會給你帶來的困擾之後才好拿出你的血汗錢。
