It is a different chip but Amazon promises global 3G coverage for Kindles with 3G. That means that I should be able to have 3G coverage any where in the world with my Kindle that was purchased in the US.

There is one chip for the US and Canada and another chip for the rest of the globe. I believe that this is reflected in the serial number so Amazon knows what they are dealing wtih. Both work globally. No issues.
