With FW 2.5.3 web browsing worked on international Kindles.
With the newest 2.5.6 not any more.
So yes, Amazon cripples the devices once again, instead of really getting international contracts with providers/carriers.
This is a "downgrade" I'm not happy about! And yes, as long as they don't have carriers around the world, they probably pay too much for the browsing (and the social networking!!) features. Again, the new K3 International will be crippled! I was thinking of pre-ordering one today, but as long as I pay the full price for a crippled device, no way!
I gave them credit with Kindle 2, bought it at the day it was released internationally, knowing internet wouldn't work, but hoping they would enable it within a reasonable time - with 2.5.3 I even thought they finally did, but 2.5.6 just pisses me off again.
