[ApK]

Good call, I think.

I happen to be one of those people who does not always have wifi available everywhere I go (despite the fact that some people seem to think it is universally free and available everywhere), and I did not have a smartphone until recently.

So I made very good use of my K3's 3G experimental browser to check email and look things up. The cost difference was well covered by allowing me to delay getting a smartphone and data plan for a year or so.

But now that I HAVE a smart phone and a data plan (including wifi hotspot if I really need to get a new book onto the Kindle) I could not see the value in the added cost for 3G.
Even if the new ones still had the same Internet browsing abilities as my K3, which apparently they don't.
