mdovell,
The linked article re State Dept is about Kindle Touch models only though and those don't have the free 3G experimental web browsing though they of course have the WiFi feature.

The Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard model definitely has actual web browsing (very slow loading times unless it's pure text) and that includes in other countries when you're traveling.

The Amazon UK website lists countries where 3G web browsing works outside the UK for UK residents, and the same countries apply for US residents. If you get the feature in your country of residence you get it when traveling in countries where Amazon has 3g contracts with carriers there.

See http://kindleworld.blogspot.com/p/co...3g-access.html for details on this..
