T-Mobile USA will launch IPv6-only + NAT64 in the next ~12 months for
a controlled set of new handsets models directed at consumers.

The service is up and running today and you can try it if you like at
http://groups.google.com/group/tmoipv6beta

I have been using IPv6-only + NAT64 for the past 6 months, no major
issues.  ~99% of apps work (thank you IP version agnostic API / SDK),
content works (very few IPv4 literals), .... It's really not the
problem that many may think it is .... especially if you are a mobile
operator.  For mobile, LSN is not a new and neither is RFC1918
exhaust.
