But in the US the Sprint EVDO telephone number is built in to the Kindles sold here. Hopefully this is a variable that can be changed like having a new update release, but if it is implemented only in hardware, it won't be that simple.
But believe me, they will do anything to prevent you buying either unit in this country and then bringing it to your real residence outside the US. In business, the monopoly has not gone the way of the dinasaur. Would that it had. I also would like to see celular service telephone numbers be operaterable world wide. But again GSM is not universal as it should be, leaving CDMA also still in use in the US.
