Thanks Havocx,
Let me post the answers from you to my question in our PM exchanges.

-------------
So here's the benefits of 3G in Malaysia. Amazon uses Whyspernet for synching, ie your books that you have purchased, would be able to synchronize even if youre without Wifi connection. Meaning you'll always have access to your books and buying new books whenever you feel like it.

Also with 3G since Kindle comes with a browser, you'll be able to access websites and data when you are on the move at anytime you please. Since Kindle has a super long battery life, youre 3G will last about 15 days without needing recharging if youre always surfing using 3G. Its also not locked to any service providers.

Now the cons : My personal thoughts.
Kindle holds 33,000 books. Synching in an extra 1000 books before you go to a trip up Mount Kinabalu will be waaay more books than you can finish. Also, if you happen to bring the Kindle up, and still want to sync, remember ebooks are just about 50kb for a 950page book, it will be a super quick sync, something you would already do earlier before going up the mountain smile.gif

Next on browsing. Nowadays you can also browse on your mobile phone. The Kindle has a decent browser, in fact its quite good, except you have to remember it will be in black and white. So yes you can surf the net, do your banking online and things like that, but the experience may not be as fulfilling since the screen is just black and white.

But of course thats my personal thoughts only, the only person i know with a Kindle 3G on Lowyat forum is ailinchia, she visits the thread too now and then, perhaps you can see her responses to help you decide, if you ask me, and my personal use of Kindle, the 3G would be wasted on me. nod.gif
