Is there any way this beta can be used in conjunction with other t-mobile data products (such as pre or post paid SIMs used in data cards/USB dongles)? On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 9:32 AM, Tom Hill <tom@ninjabadger.net> wrote:

FYI.
T-Mobile USA now has opt-in beta support for an Android phone on IPv6, more info here https://sites.google.com/site/tmoipv6/lg-mytouch
Very, very good. I hope T-Mobile UK (and elsewhere in the world) take heed.
I have to wonder why they've chosen to go with IPv6-only & DNS/NAT64 instead of a dual-stack approach. Is there a particular restriction that prevents this?
As far as i know, this is the first Android phone that support IPv6 on the GSM/UMTS mobile interface. Previous version of Android phones supported IPv6 on WiFi and LTE.
Indeed, the 'Network Info II' application will show you the IPv6 addresses gained on WiFi interfaces (if anyone's interested). My Galaxy S (unlocked/orig.) does this very well.
I wonder if it's possible to provide IPv6 support for UMTS/GSM via firmware and/or software updates from Samsung?
