My Kindle has 3G, although I had no say in that when I bought it. In my part of the country we couldn't even get service, only EDGE, which was agonizingly slow. I always sideloaded books onto it once I discovered that.
Well, lo and behold, two weeks ago I happened to check my phone and saw that it showed 3G service. That's a funny coincidence since I rarely even have my phone on. I turned on the wireless connection for my reader and there was the 3G indicator for the first time ever. Of course I downloaded several of those Delphi Classics collections and was amazed at how quickly they showed up. Then I turned wireless off and haven't used it since.
I doubt that my next reader will have 3G. It was pretty cool but I don't like to browse on anything smaller than my computer monitor and I have wifi at home. I can certainly understand why some people would consider it important but it's not something I need. I'll probably use it when I download new books since it'll save me from having to boot up my computer. That's something I could do just as well with wifi. I guess I wasn't really missing that much by not having it.
