I bought the Wifi only model. I'm not a big fan of AT&T 3G anyway as it is flaky even in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro where I live. It reminds of the 1960s when we had to constantly re-adjust the rabbit ears antenna on our TV to pick up stations! If you don't hold the phone, Kindle, etc. just right and go to the proper room in the house, you probably will lose the connection. And when I do have connection it is rarely 3G! WiFi in my case will be rock solid and faster. For those with good 3G coverage, then 3G is a good option.
