    Isn't the $ 139.00 unit WIFI only and not 3G only?

      Yes, the $139 unit is Wi-Fi only, the article's information is incorrect.

  • but is the band coverage correct?

    "AnyData DTP-600W wireless card - Front
    The Kindle Graphite (2010) uses an AnyDATA DTP-600W HSPA mini PCI-E module for wireless 3G connectivity. This is the same card used by the Kindle DX Graphite (2010).

    According to AnyDATA documentation the DTP-600W "operates globally on tri-band UMTS 850/1900/2100 wireless networks as well as quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 networks."

    Is the above correct and all that is wrong is the price?
