What are the odds that a majority of new phones sold in mid 2011 will have 
proper IPv6 support? We (mobile operator) can be ready by then easily, but 
without a comittment from the major vendors that this will happen it's 
hard to allocate resources for this instead of focusing on deploying 
NAT44.

We have two ways out of IPv4 run-out right now, either deploy NAT44 for 
our mobile customers (all kinds) or hope that IPv6 support will be in 
handsets. I fear that we have to do both, but since we know for a fact 
NAT44 will work, this will have higher priority.
