Ive never met a device that offers 3G connectivity and doesnt require you to put your SIM in it and have your operator happily charge you for connecting or downloading.

Depends also on where you live. US has AT&T and free unrestricted 3G.
The UK has Vodafone and free unrestricted 3G.
In some countries in Europe Amazon hasn't been able to make a deal with Vodafone so there's ' only' Wikipedia and Amazon.com for free possible.
But all Kindles can handle 3G of course, in principle.
But I wouldn't surf on the web for hours on a Kindle, with black/white small screen and its other limitations. Ahem; it's an ereader, not a smartphone.
But it can come in very handy in case of emergency; always a connection with the internet.
