The Kindle Keyboard is still being sold, and Amazon is not currently selling the Kindle Touch outside of the United States.

That means that if you want a Kindle with 3G then your only choice is a Kindle Keyboard 3G.

They've been very ambiguous about the exact details, but I'd be quite surprised if the Kindle Keyboard is not updated, simply because of the install base.

Amazon seems to have gone to a lot of effort with the Kindle Keyboard - renaming it rather than simply dumping it, and continuing to sell it in all of their markets.

It has also just seen a software update adding functionality.

I don't really think it can be put in the "previous generation" category just yet.
