The launch is world-wide; today for orders, shipments *nominally* by Aug 27.
(Traditionally Amazon starts new Kindle shipments early so a few early birds get theirs a day or two ahead of schedule.)
The 3g works world-wide. It has since last year.
There used to be bandwidth charges in non-US markets (bundled into the book price) but that has changed in many markets.
You'll want to check but I think the UK (as well as Canada) are among the countries with fully free 3G.
Different countries, different rules; you'll have to check at the new UK Kindle store.
