Nope, I have a WiFi as well. I was thinking it would be handy to be able to use the kindle as an alternative to a cell phone when I was at a hot spot. But as there appears to be no way to attach a headset to the kindle via bluetooth, USB or jack this could only be done as a speakerphone type arrangement. That somewhat reduces the attractiveness of the entire idea.
Taking a look at the state of things now it might have been better had my son purchased a tablet as opposed to the kindle, as there are now tablets to be had for $140 as well. That would be a more flexible platform than the kindle for other applications.
