I assume you mean hardware here, since there's no 3G support at the  
hardware level.  I wouldn't mind 3G support, but wouldn't sacrifice a  
minute of battery time for it, which seems to be impossible at this  
point.  I recently took a long car trip to West Virginia, not exactly  
a tech. hub, and EDGE worked fine until we got out into the mountains,  
and it seemed like every gas station had WiFI.  For everyday use,  
there's WiFi everywhere.

For me its just easier to use the approved carrier, as I don't  
particularly care since the major ones cover 99.9% of the places I go.

MS Exchange support for mail and calendars has been promised for June.
