I got my hands on my 32GB 3G model today.

Impressions

Feels great and comfortable in the hand, the clicky physical buttons are so much better than my Voyage.
Screen light is SO much improved. No dark patches or cones of dark or light and no colour patches. Mine is almost perfect, if I look hard enough I can notice that the right, especially lower right is very very slightly brighter. It's more obvious at the middle setting range and seems to disappear at higher brightness levels.
Larger screen size is a great upgrade.
Page turns are blazingly fast now, that upgraded processor makes a big difference.
Night mode is fantastic.
Charging is a lot faster.

I was just about to cancel my WiFi 32GB model from Amazon when I received a dispatched email, it's due to arrive on Monday. I assume it's been sourced and coming from another country. I was going to cancel it, but it's become a bit of a thing with me every Kindle release to seek out the perfect screen.

To be honest though the screen is brilliant, especially compared to the previous models. I wouldn't actively order another one if Amazon hadn't already dispatched me a second one.
