NC has no 3G, the option for 3G is there on the SGT if you want it.
Rooting the NC isn't something I was going to do if I went for it. The product is too new to know the reliability factor of it so negating the warranty isn't something I would want to do. That said, I could wait until the upcoming software upgrade to see what that adds BUT I would not buy it beforehand in speculation.
Folks are savvy enough to know the differences amongst devices out there now or upcoming so just go with what will meet your requirements and what you are willing to spend. HOWEVER $499 with no contract commitment I don't see as an unreasonable price if you prefer the SGT as it is a great product (I see no reviews stating otherwise). And B&M stores offer a period of time to return it if it doesn't suit you.
Futhermore, the upcoming tablets or readers though I don't think are going to offer a much better price in comparison to the NC and SGT, at least not right off the bat but I suppose we'll see about that (and if some even make it to market).
