I remember reading that Nokia had found a solution to this, and was always curious about how this problem had been solved -- as I understand that its not a simple problem.
As someone who has gone from tech support rep in an Internet Service Provider (ISP) all the way up through the ranks to Senior Network Engineer... I can tell you that, short of getting yourself a multi-homed BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) Autonomous System (AS) route for YOUR particular device, you're not going to solve that. NAT is completely irrelevant to keeping an open connection when you're severing from one network to appear on another.
