bear4hunter,
I've listed the 9 countries for which 3G web-browsing has been showing as not-available on their product pages but which involved Kindle owners who could web browse nevertheless, with v2.5.2 (often being enabled with that -- and it probably was as a byproduct of being able to do Facebook/Twitter highlighted-passage forwarding).
However, of those 9 countries, I've heard from people in Portugal, The Netherlands, and Austria whose webbrowsing (and Facebook/Twitter sends) were no longer enabled when v2.5.3 was installed.
Germany is one of those 9 countries and have not yet heard (that I remember) a problem there but today, someone wrote that the product page for Kindle 2 in Germany still shows 'not available' while the product page for Kindle 3 in Germany *no longer* shows unavailability. It could be that the K2 page was not updated or that the method of access (capabilities mentioned in the TechRepublic Teardown I link to) works with K3 but not K2 though I doubt that.
Am still trying to monitor this at
http://bit.ly/kwkweb and have not gone through the K3 product pages for those 9 countries yet and probably won't have time until later tonight.
