Never mind the fact that Amazon won't sell you one
It is odd they didn't go with GSM instead of CDMA, but I assume Sprint gave more favourable data rates and AT&T isn't exactly cheap with their HSDPA/UMTS rates and T-Mobile in the US only offers EDGE which as you know, isn't blazing.
But I think the big thing that you would use, if given the option, would be the search feature. That is a killer app for me. The wireless download of content is nice and being able to download another city's newspaper daily is a bonus, but search is the big reason why I went with Kindle. I do think the PRS-505 is sexy though. It needs bigger page forward/back buttons (but not Kindle big).
