I currently own both of these earlier models (K2i and Dxi) and I think they work great. My wife likes the smaller k2i and I like the larger Dxi (she also like chicken/turkey white meat, and I like dark, a perfect match!). I find that the 3G web browsing (and Amazon book buying) works great for me on the Qld Gold Coast.

If you want to spend a lot less, you can source both these older models on e-bay right for ~50% the cost of newer versions (just make sure you get the international versions if you are in Oz).

I don't intend upgrading either of these in the near future since they both do what I want, and I don't think that the extra features justify the high upgrade costs. Maybe down the road, when Amazon offers coloured E-ink and better web browers (incl. video).

Anyway, just my $0.02's worth.
