So I'm looking at the new Kindle Touch 3G and drooling over it, but then reading up on it, speculation is that the web browsing is extremely limited over 3g (if not non-existent) as opposed to the Kindle 3 3G which was just extremely frustrating.

My question is, if it is true that the Touch 3G web browsing will be limited to Amazon, wikipedia, and a few other sites, with the way whispernet not being true 3G, does that mean that the website blocking would also carry over to the Kindle Keyboard 3G / Kindle 3 3G? Or is it actually possible for Amazon to block websites for the Touch but not the Kindle Keyboard?

I'm still contemplating which version I should get...
