Yep, AT&T sux. Although I had the same problems with an early K2 that used Sprint. So to clarify, in my area AT&T and Sprint suck.
I had already had problems with my cellular phones and my KDXG, so I knew better than to waste an extra $50 on a 3G capable K3. My K3 WiFi only is awesome though.
NormHart have you tried using WiFi instead of the 3G? The reason I ask is that if WiFi will work for you then you might want to exchange your 3G unit for a WiFi only one. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water, as they say. The K3 far exceeds any other 6" eInk reader on the market right now. And to be truthful I've yet to hear a convincing argument for having 3G. With WiFi and USB loading and combined with a 4GB storage you should never get caught with nothing good to read.
Really the only argument I might have bought into for having 3G is the ability of browsing the internet from wherever you are. But even using my fast WiFi connection and the K3's new improved web browser, it is still clunky. For example, reading this website on the K3 is not a great experience.
