To me the problem with that is which version of 3G? In NA they would have to choose between two very large company's. The more worldly version used by AT&T/iPhone or Verizon's.

Exactly, that is why I mentioned that they should just enable it so you can tether it to a phone like sony did with the PSP Go. So if somebody has a bluetooth enabled phone that also has a 3g service, they can connect it and play. 

If Nintendo can work out some sort of deal that allows the device to use an owner's existing 3G data service plan, then it would have no downside at all (assuming you're not paying additional montly fees from either Nintendo or your cell service provider).

Sounds like wishful thinking, but I'm all for it.
