The new iPad has unstable 3G connection

3G icon is visible and signal is strong but safari tells no connection (other programs don't have connection as well). Switching to airplane mode and back doesnt help and reset (off and on) always helps, but problem appears again after some period. I can't tell exactly how much time should I wait but I noted that it appears after long idle period.

No, the problem still persists. :-(

It breaks the connection 5-6 times per day now. Flight mode on-off resolves the issue for the moment - it reconnects to the network and then it works for a while again.

My iPhone 4S works perfectly, laying next to the iPad. It has never disconnected!

I will continue to return the iPad until they get the message. I haven't spent over 1000$ to get defective 3G!
