I am not “trying” to talk out of one of these, but I personally don’t want one and would hate to see you guys dissapointed if you get one and can’t use the EV-DO… That’s where a great post from Gizmodo yesterday comes in… Make sure you are in a good area for use of the network.
I’m not sure if this is a widespread problem, but just in case – if you live within any of those gaping white spots in the image above, you probably shouldn’t waste your money on the Kindle.

As a rightfully irritated commenter on BookofJoe noted, Amazon should have notified him of this when it bought it. That may be true, but you wouldn’t expect your phone company to do that right? Besides, Amazon did mention all of this in the product page, but it could have been easily lost in the long list of information.
