I tested this with a 3G on ATT in the following conditions:

* Disabled WiFi
* Enabled 3G
=> Application works

* Disabled WiFi
* Set airplane mode, reset it back to normal
* Launch application while still "searching...."
=> Application produces Socket error.

As soon as the 3G indicator comes up, I no longer get an error.

* Disable WiFi
* Disable 3G
=> Application gets sockets errors, invalid hostnames (and so does Safari)

Eventually, the phone gets network connectivity (Edge in my case), so we end up
with:
* Disabled WiFi
* Disabled 3G
* Edge running
=> Connection works.

It does take a while, some 10 seconds to go from 3G to Edge working though.


I have noticed problems like the symptoms described in the bug with my twitter
client depending on where I am though;   Sometimes I am in a bad spot, and even
with 3G I get errors from it.
See the sample monotouch-samples/reachability for some samples on how to detect
the network availability.
