Time to start thinking a little further down the line. What if the phone actually becomes an wireless IP gateway router? It routes packets from a PAN (personal area network) riding on top of Bluetooth or 802.11{a,b} to the 3G network for transit. NAT would certainly become very messy.

greeeeat and what if one of the devices behind that phone would also be a personal "ip gateway router" (or how you call that)... you could recursively iterate as deep as your mail size allows you to... hope this thread will not end in a router behind a router that serves as a router seving as a router to another router which has some other routers connected...
