I got my non-NAT ADSL (along with 13 Internet routable IP's!) from clara.net three weeks ago, one month after I ordered it.
I had a few problems initially (I seemed to be a Beta Tester for them, and it was a 4 hour install, line card problems), but got it running after a few days, with no documentation (they verbaly gave me DNS settings, etc).
Now it's great, I get more than I pay for (256/512), and I love to be able to SSH to my OpenBSD firewall from home! Although I still haven't quite got it working yet!
I belive that they are already trying to do that! I read an article a while ago (sorry print, not web), that they are trying to slim CE down (haha), so that they can compete with Symbian, for the, soon to be huge, wireless data market.
I've got my Nokia Communicator 9110 (Mobile +PDA), all the functionality of the above, plus it's an AMD 486 with 4Mb of NVRAM, with limited handsfree. Running GeOS (?), complete with mail, web browser (no images), a very basic text editor, calendar, and most importantly telnet (so any ap from a UNIX box). You can even create new programmes for it, (hmmm must program games...).
I use it so that I can do my job and support Networks with it. It's a damn sight lighter than the previous solution (Mobile + Laptop). It fits on my belt, and although it's heavy, it's not much heavier than my old phone!

And you would believe how insecure a Cisco router ships, even at IOS 12.0!
Probably because Fore kit uses NT as an OS!! The last Firm I was working for got me to look at them, and I recommended against it for this reason.
NT as a frickin OS for an infrastruture device, doh!
