So when you end up going to the back of the line, you'll wish you had a T1 instead of a Kindle.

I am probably missing something here, but every single Kindle 3 has a WiFi option. Some models have both WiFi and 3G. And you can use free 3G web lookups in about 100 countries, as a resident of a country that offers (slow) free 3G web.
It's the Kindle 1's (2007) and Kindle 2's (2008) that have "only" 3G, which works almost anywhere you happen to be for all the regular book downloads from multiple online book sites.
Kindle 3's came out August 2010, over a year ago. The Sony model mentioned just came out, but it's not competing against a non-WiFi Kindle when mentioning advantages of WiFi with models released in the last year.
