I find the 3G useful for whispersync primarily. I occasionally read on my phone, so I want my Kindle and phone to sync. It's also useful for buying books/getting samples when not at home (I have essentially zero wifi access outside of my home).
I personally find the browser/Internet access useless, but it is an added extra that I am glad I have access to but would only use in an extreme emergency. To say the browsing experience on the Kindle is tedious would be a massive understatement. I would need a life or death situation to put up with it.
I would recommend that anyone thinking of buying a reader think about what new features might be added to these devices in the near future. Things like social integration will rely on always-on Internet access. I personally wouldn't miss out on extra functionality for the sake of a few dollars price difference.
