Also, they have never promised that the Browser would be free forever, just shopping in the Kindle Store.

Since I have my K3 (3G+wifi version) I only use the 3G on it for like 2-3 times just to check and download the ebook sample and buy 1 book. And also just to check it, after that I usually turn off the wireless or use wifi. So I think 3G will be free for a long while.
