Most already have data plans for their smartphone and paying another data plan for a handheld system is a waste With the 3g models a data plan is added on to it that you will have to pay monthly through AT&T the data plan might be around $30 a month. This is a handheld console paying an extra $30 to go on the internet when you will most likely be playing it 70% the time at home or at friends house that will have FREE wifi. Compared to when you are on a road trip you will play story mode games. Also the #1 dislike is the coverage in your area. You might have full 3g coverage where you live but when you step outside you go down to 1 bar and not able to play online anymore.
Features you gain:
Can go on the internet anytime without wifi
Data cap limit
After you reach that limit they will throttle down the amount of data you can gain.
Basically the 3g model is for surfing the web. Do not download stuff from the store because it will take a long long long time. Do not play online games using 3g because you will lag.
