This is a bogus non-issue.  Your system isn't configured right or the
phone is set wrong.  I have used my E60 from many locations on NATS
outside the local LAN (which is also a NATTED config).

I think the "it's a conspiracy" thing is a red herring.

Now, the fact you can't easily get these phone in the US, that's a
conspiracy ;~)

Marty,
I was not going to get it based on what people said about the E61 and the 
NAT issues. Is this false ? I was thinking of getting it for when I travel 
to Israel. There seems to be a lot of open wifi connections all over the 
country there. Also how is the radio for the wifi on it ?
