Yes I have a UK Kindle 3 and the 3G can be used while you are away (UK and many locations abroad) to browse non-Amazon websites.
I have recently come back from a cruise and the 3G browser worked in Spain, Portugal, Madeira and the Canary Islands with no problem whatsoever. It was very handy for emailing in particular. And also for having news feeds delivered to me for which there was a small charge because I was receiving them via 3G.
If I had paid to have wifi on board our cruise ship - that luxury would have cost a min of £35 for something like 190 minutes! So it was great to have my Kindle and not pay a thing. Although obviously days at sea meant days without any connection - only works when you dock somewhere.
