Try to keep device bugs and network deployment issues separate.

Please elaborate. What is a "bug" here? That Galaxy Nexus exposes "IPv4v6" when the baseband module doesn't support it?

I don't know if they do special versions for
the US market, but for general 3GPP networks, it doesn't work.

IPv6 work just fine in 3GPP networks.  Also in Europe.

I am well aware of this, I work for a mobile provider, trying to deploy IPv6. I have a few devices (usb dongles) that work properly, I have a lot of others that do not.

But in order to deploy this in any meaningful way, there need to be handsets that support IPv4v6 bearer continuity on 2G/3G/4G. Until that happens, NAT44 using CGN gives better customer experience.
