The short answer is: A lot of Nokia devices, mainly Symbian and Maemo. 
Nothing else.

There are beta software+firmware for some phones and LTE sticks, but 
they're not publically available.

4G has both radio settings and RA+DHCP at the same time, so it's up to the 
dongle to support what's needed.

Some ST-Ericsson built in 3G modems have support for this as well, but as 
far as I know there aren't many connection managers that work.

I had high hopes the situation would look a lot better now in Q3, but it's 
still bleak. Things seem to be moving in the right direction, and I have 
successfully working two bearer (IPv4 in one bearer and IPv6 in another 
bearer) working over 2G and 3G. This has been working quite a while 
though, works with for instance Nokia N900 and a LTE dongle we have with 
beta firmware + beta connection manager.
