Me too, but I decided that $30 per month is too much to spend for occasional browsing. Information I often find online I can usually buy at a newspaper stand for $0.25 (weather, news, sports, etc).
I also decided that since WiFi is neither free nor ubiquitous, I'm going to wait until late 2004 to worry about having a truly wireless device. Maybe the XDA2 will be nice...
In the meanwhile, bluetooth networking in my house and my workplace suffices nicely. AvantGo gives me free offline browsing and I usually find the bits of news I read are not more than an hour old since my device is continuously sync'd at work or home and it never takes more than an hour to where I want to go.
IMO, WiFi is nifty but really really overrated in terms of actual usefulness.
