To date, my 3G Kindle has saved me the need to get a smart phone with a data plan. Other than occasionaly downloading books that way, the only mobile Internet I tend to need is Gmail and doing Google/Wikipedia and other mostly-text lookups, and I regularly do that while traveling or in other situations with no wifi.
The Kindle does all that sufficiently well for me
I'm sure one day, if I can ever find a reason justify the extra $15-$30 a month for a data plan, I'll get a smart phone, and will rarely need the Kindle's 3G, but until then, every time I use the 3G, I feel like I saved $15-$30 for that month.
