My Kindle came today, and I can access everything using WiFi, but hith 3G ONLY Wikipedia in English (not even Amazon.com does work!).

When I try to read a German Wikipedia article I get a blank screen - "some restrictions"... SOME?

Facebook-connect is OFF
Blogs are OFF
Newspapers are OFF

Not amused. I mean, I could understand restrictions regarding almost anything, and I did spend the extra bucks for the 3G because I thought that I can at least access the Wikipedia when reading in my garden. But now it seems I can only access something useful when being at home, where I have access to anything anyway. This should be more clear when advertising the thing to German customers. And yes, there are some topics that are not available in both languages. Mr. Amazon, pls!
