@Psykhe: yup, did try it, they even make it easy to switch.
@veezh: beware !
@Verres: do you at least get en.wikipedia and the "browsing disabled" on other websites ? What about the shop ? If they don't work, it may be a problem with your unit.
Next episode, one day or two after ordering a single book (from the kindle), got the infamous mail about giving proof of residence. Not that I cared to hide anything (even put my french phone in there, just in case). So they *do* check -- when you order (that's what the email says: "I see that you attempted to purchase xxx while in a different country than the United States listed on your Amazon account.")
The funny thing is that I actually paid the book $0.10 more on the US shop (and another book I bought before changing my address, "Wearing Midnight" by Pratchett, seems to be only available as preorder there).
Anyway, I'm going to ask support about the 3G connectivity -- and beg them to at least give us our wikipedia
--. the lack of information is annoying, and, as Verres says, there is little point in the 3G version in these conditions. But I guess the situation is a bit weird, having AT&T sims using roaming permanently ?

Psykhe: Did you try it? I heard rumors about amazon charging you 5$ per week if you use an US kindle3 outside the US.

Nope, but they send you an email right away about additional charges for newspapers and such, I don't remember the exact contents.
Then I may try putting an address in the UK (got one there not long ago, would'nt really be lying), or Romania, if it happens to work. Probably better wait a few days though.
