I changed the verbiage in my original post to "Accidental Misinformation" instead of "Lies" due to your post. I have had no experience with Amazon in the past. I have had far too many bad experiences with other web based retailers over the years to let me believe that this was actually as accident initially.
I talked with CS again and they were indeed apologetic to hear of the mistake when they saw it in the chat log. They offered a full refund with return shipping.
I have actually decided that even with the limited 3G it will be better than my first PW, because being able to download books on the fly is still a big plus. Not sure if it's worth the $60, but I'll keep it anyway =). I also realized that I can tether it to the data connection on my company iPhone via wifi and read my email/news that way.
PS:Why are there so many flamers on this board?

"Why are there so many flamers on this board?"
There was a fair amount of flame in your provocative heading "Beware of Amazon misinformation/lies!" to get some flames in reaction. I'm more concerned with this statement:

That's a violation of your Kindle Terms of Service. Quoting from the

That could result in the termination of your account and any access to digital content you've may have purchased. Illicit tethering is a big reason why Amazon hasn't offered a reader with unlimited 3G browsing since the K3.
