Shame really as DoCoMo used to support http://3625623583 (to get to X-9)
way back in the dawn of i-mode time but alas, no more.

 to answer my own silly question, no it cannot... It gives a dns error.

as eny fule kno, http://3510484763 is the decimal version of
http://209.61.191.27

(http://javascript.internet.com/equivalents/ip-obfuscation.html for eny
fule wot don't kno)

lots of ordinary browsers can (i.e for Mac cannot, icab can) handle
decimal addresses.

If docomo's dns setup was not so brain dead, this would be a VERY useful
tool for people who host sites on an unshared ip address...
