Root Very happy im rooted and on 2.3.4 for this reason

i still think it will be vulnerable over mobile data networks as the authentication protocal is no different, its only the transport layer that has changed.

Yes, but it will take a lot more technology

who said anything about vpn? vpn is generally an rsa encrypted channel.

im talking standard gprs/3g/hsdpa

each device on the data carrier is connected from a dhcp pool from a sgsn/ggsn and given an ip from a range within that subnet
certain ports have to be open for data transit to work
potentially (i have no actual factual information so cannot fully confirm) someone within that same subnet/iprange can connect a device to the network and find plain text being transmitted from these ports.

imo if you use your providers data network you have just as much reason to be concerned as someone using adhock/unsecured wifi nodes

Yeah, read it wrong!! Still don't care, mind. I use Wi-Fi when in work and Wi-Fi when at home so the only time 3G is in use is when I'm out and about (which isn't that often unless I'm on the town)
