On the other hand no handset manufacturer apart from Nokia ever made any 
3G handsets that supported IPv6.

Also, since you needed two concurrent bearers and the 3GPP network vendors 
charged per bearer, it also make IPv6 deployment extremely expensive.

Yes, plenty of blame to go around. It's not only a carrier problem.
