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...

Amazon can do anything they wish when it comes to site blocking, since all content goes through their proxy server, and they know exactly which model of Kindle you are talking to that server from.
However, that being said, I don't believe for a moment that the Kindle Touch 3G's web browsing will be any more (or less) restricted than that of the K3. There's a great deal of confusion about this at present; I'd suggest waiting to see what actually happens when the Touch 3G is released. Personally, I'd be extremely surprised if web browsing on the 3G were to be any different to the way it is at present.
You're really NOT going to want to do a great deal of web browsing on the Kindle. It's not the world's greatest surfing experience.
