Wait, isn't this the reason why there wasn't a Kindle in Europe? Because they'd have to sign deals with various providers to get complete coverage? And nobody said you wouldn't have coverage, if you bought a Kindle! At least, not in any review I've seen... They all say, you can download via whispernet. Not you can download via whispernet if you can access whispernet, which you can't unless you live in a populated area.
So, I presume you can't buy the Kindle because it doesn't have a whispernet function in your neck of the wood...
(sorry, had to let this out...)
No matter the provider, it's always good to have choices. But they should also bring out a version without inherent mobile phone carrier. That way you can use your current provider (if you have one) and everybody should be able to use it (no matter where they live).
