The places I am likely to want my K3 to sync are actually places where wifi is not available - or what's worse, is only sporadically available. Like on the train.
So I hope 3G is sticky if I'm downloading or syncing on it.
My point was that with your phone you have to manually switch to the connection you want, either 3G or Wi-Fi. The K3 will default to Wi-Fi if there is one in range and automatically switch to 3G if no Wi-Fi is available. It would seem silly to not use Wi-Fi if available because it will be faster connection. Probably not noticeable if buying a book, but for spur of the moment Web browsing it would be.
