I bought the dual mode Kindle 3 for travel. When I got up here in Maine, I discovered no 3G network (AT&T) signal at the cottage we were staying at. (Even my son's VZW phone has only a 1X data signal; my VZW smartphone does show Ev some times. Kindle's 611 page shows -95 dB or there about.)

HOWEVER, the cottage has a Wifi network (otherwise, I wouldn't be typing this). Hey, presto, and I connected to the network, downloaded the next book in the series I'm reading, and back to the hard work of relaxation while looking out over the deck to the harbor.

I never expected to use Wifi when traveling. Go figure.

Regards,
