From a slightly different angle... I bought my K3 3G in 2011 and then didn't use it much, it was in the cupboard. I took it only while travelling or on holidays and 3G proved to be worth the money. But this year while on holiday in a remote village in the middle of nowhere I was able to check weather, local news and buy books while in bed at night - it really grew on me and now Iike it very much. Last night I hunted down beautiful noreve case, one I always wanted for it but manufacturer charges 55 € to start with and I bought mine for 23 €. Last one is still on Amazon.co.uk if you wish. I'm so glad
