new kindle3g, webbrowser works only with en.wikipedia.org and kindle store.

other pages, like amazon.com:
"Due to local restrictions, web browsing is not availiable for all countries"
(i'm in (mid)germany)

@HarryT
you are from uk? May it works with you kindle because amazon.uk has there own kindles and not the global-ones? Imho the us/international kindles use the AT&T Network (and AT&Ts roaming partners) and the uk ones use the vodafone infrastructure and maybe, vodafone allow amazon to use the "complete" web in all local vodafone networks like vodafone france, vodafon germany, vodafone austria etc.....this may be the reason too, that its not possible for us german to import the kindle's from your island
