Mar 4th 2012 11:57PM (Joystiq)You'll be able to use the (very impressive) Facebook app, Twitter and use the (not so excellent) web browser, and you'll have always-on access to Near, which is actually a pretty cool app that connects you with other Vita players in a 2m radius - but all those things work perfectly well with Wi-Fi too, provided you are near a hotspot or your home network.
It really comes down to whether or not you want to spend $50 (and $15-$30 per month) to have an always-on connection to the PSN, wherever you are. If you really need to be able to update your trophies, message friends and check online leaderboards everywhere you go, perhaps the 3G version is for you, but I think for most people the Wi-Fi version is more than adequate. Personally, I'd use that $50 to buy a game instead, and the $15 per month on some downloadable games (like the excellent Escape Plan or Mutant Blobs Attack!)

Mar 4th 2012 11:45PM (Joystiq)20 minutes later, it felt perfectly natural. I think it's purely a case of getting used to a new piece of hardware. Yes, the buttons are pretty small (and I have huge, sausage fingers) but it's really not an issue after you've been playing for a short while.
Demo units in stores aren't really a good way of getting an accurate impression of either hardware or software. If you have a friend who has already taken the plunge, see if you can get some quality time with their Vita - your opinion may soften about the control layout.
