I'm just curious about this: 3G is a $50 hardware premium, which is a very fair price if I thought I'd use it. I understand the older firmwares on the k2 could browse the web for like, basic facebook and blog-reading, but later that was disabled, is that correct?

With the k3, would 3g have any potential benefit aside from buying books wirelessly? Would the webkit browser have any hope of ever working over 3g (hacks, etc?) ??

If I thought the 3g would let me hope onto facebook and browse, and do simple email, I'd cancel the wifi preorder and go for the 3g graphite instead. But it seems like they're moving in the direction of limiting what you can do via whispernet, am I correct?
