I just ordered the kindle 3 wth wi-fi and 3G.

I want to know if 3g works in the uk as it supposed to only work with AT&T.

The second thing I am very worried about the FEEL of the kindle.

The texture of the material.

Reason is I have a Nokia 6500 metal phone (was a present) and I must admit the finish on the metal is very repulsive.It is very slimy to the touch and feels very slippery such that my hand and fingers start sweating in some kind of psychological reaction to it in anticipation of maybe dropping from my hand.(perhaps?).

Anyone here have that Nokia 6500 phone?

Do you know what I mean/

Anyway I would not want the back of the kindle to be like that and I was wandering if we could petition Amazon for a quilted back like the kobo reader.This will absorb the sweat and make it soft.

I don't want a cover as that would make it thick.
