I'm a bit wary of the fact that the Fire comes only with a WiFi network connection. I have a problem with keeping my Kindle Keyboard connected to my WiFi network. When I do get it working, it seems to only last for a few days, then I lose it again. For some reason my network doesn't show up on the Kindle's network scan, and when it does, it rarely accepts my password on the first take. I have no such problems with any of my other devices, such as my iPad, but as the Kindle Keyboard also has 3G, I've taken to saying to heck with the WiFi and just doing everything via the 3G.

I wonder if they'll come out with a 3G Fire? That would probably be worth it, even if you had to pay a monthly charge for the 3G.
