So this is a new response from Amazon CS:

Hello,

I understand your concern and I'm happy to help.

Kindle Touch 3G has WebKit- Based Browser features; you can browse the web over Wi-Fi and and WhisperNet(3G coverage).

However, for international customer's, Internet access using your Kindle's Web Browser through Whispernet is not available in most countries outside the United States when using your Kindle's 3G connection, however most customers can access Wikipedia and other website.

I think in the USA that 3G browsing will continue, but perhaps not everywhere else. Although.....there is reference to International Customers (ie Not USA people travelling Internationally) which may mean that USA models might be capable of 3G browsing internationally, but International models (when they are announced/released) may not have 3G accessible web browsers.
