Here is my thing with 3g, how often are you going to be like, I want to download a book right now on public transportation/etc.
I have a phone I can just purchase a book on my Droid. And when I hit a wifi spot, the book is automatically added to my nook (at least what I have seen so far). Also if you are at work, and go on B&N's website, just hit download now. And once you get on Wifi with your nook, the book is there to read.
Also I am thinking about rooting my phone to make it a hotspot so I cover all my bases.
Also I think a 3g refurb is only 119. Can't go wrong if you really need 3g. I am not going to use my nook to browse websites, so really 3g is if you are never near a wifi spot. I live in Philly, and work in Center City, where there are hotspots everywhere.
O and I LOVE THE NOOK!. Also 1.5 made Page turning insanely quick it seems. I am really in love with this, a lot better than my Ez Reader PP I had.
