Regarding claim #1: You must agree to Amazon Terms of Service when you register an account with them. You cannot get 3G access on an unregistered kindle.
Regarding claim #2: Do you have any proof to backup your claims?
My 3G in the USA still lets me web browse anywhere. I just tried it. Perhaps 3G has been restricted in other countries OR some users have had their Amazon accounts restricted due to excessive bandwidth consumption. Can anybody here verify whether or not a renamed kindle "keyboard" has restricted 3G?
The new kindle touch DOES have restricted 3G that can only access Amazon and Wikipedia. Of course, because both Amazon and Wikipedia have information that can be viewed and modified from both a kindle and a home PC, it *could* be bent into service as a proxy, but that could be interpreted as a violation of the Amazon TOS.
Just because something is "well known" does not make it right. Amazon provides their experimental web browser over 3G as a privelege and not a right, and they are VERY generous in doing so. We must not abuse that privelege or we risk losing it.
Regarding e-mail: I was referring to sending attached FILES to your kindle e-mail that incurs a per-MB cost. Please supply a link showing how to send to @free.*** that does not cost money for attached files.
