If you are in your house or in a town or even on the road where you can always find WiFi you will never need 3G and I will agree that the touch is much easier to use. I have used WiFi in restaurants, hotels, motels all over including out of the USA, even in gas stations.
If however you are outside on the water, on a runway, in the desert, up on a peak, or a mile up and the 3G can reach a cell tower somewhere, it is all the difference in the world.

The best way to say it is this, and you may understand or not.
3G can be like having a bottle or canteen of water when you don't have a spigot anywhere near by and aren't going to for a while. The difference between being thirsty or not.

And for complete disclosure like I just said in another thread.
I have used Gmail with my Kindle and browsed the headlines. I will attest that looking at a gray-scale weather map isn't very instructive. The navigation key is awful, but it will work with a little practice and a lot of patience.
