Windows Phone 7 Connect to SharePoint via SOAP

Question

I am making my second application for the Windows 7 Phone Series platform and I cannot seem to connect to a SharePoint server using https.

99% of the following is not my code. I have borrowed it from http://blog.daisley-harrison.com/blog/post/Practical-Silverlight-and-SharePoint-Integration-Part-Two.aspx untill I can further understand how SOAP works in W7P Series.

I know that I need some way of sending credentials over but the win 7 API does not seem to let you. ServiceReferences.ClientConfig

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>
                <binding name="ViewsSoap" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" transferMode="Buffered">
                    <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly"/>
                </binding>
            </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="https://my.secureconnection.com/_vti_bin/views.asmx"
                binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ViewsSoap"
                contract="SharePointListService.ViewsSoap" name="ViewsSoap"  />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

This is my maincode page:

    public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            SupportedOrientations = SupportedPageOrientation.Portrait | SupportedPageOrientation.Landscape;
            try
            {
                Uri serviceUri = new Uri("https://my.secureconnection.com" + SERVICE_LISTS_URL);
                BasicHttpBinding binding;
                if (serviceUri.Scheme == "https")
                {
                    binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport);
                }
                else
                {
                    binding = new BasicHttpBinding(BasicHttpSecurityMode.None);
                }
                EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress(serviceUri);
                ListsSoapClient listSoapClient = new ListsSoapClient(binding, endpoint);


                NetworkCredential creds = new NetworkCredential("administrator", "iSynergy1", "server001");
                //listSoapClient.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = TokenImpersonationLevel.Identification;
                //listSoapClient.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = creds;

                listSoapClient.GetListCollectionCompleted += new EventHandler<GetListCollectionCompletedEventArgs>(listSoapClient_GetListCollectionCompleted);
                listSoapClient.GetListCollectionAsync();
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
                handleException("Failed to get list collection", exception);
            }
        }
        #region ShowExceptionDetail Property
        public static readonly DependencyProperty ShowExceptionDetailDependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ShowExceptionDetail",typeof(bool),typeof(Page),new PropertyMetadata(true));
        public bool ShowExceptionDetail
        {
            get { return (bool)GetValue(ShowExceptionDetailDependencyProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ShowExceptionDetailDependencyProperty, value); }
        }
        #endregion
        private void handleException(string context, Exception exception)
        {
            this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
            {
                bool showExceptionDetail = this.ShowExceptionDetail;

                string message = "";

                Exception next = exception;
                do
                {
                    if (message.Length > 0) { message += ";" + Environment.NewLine; }
                    if (next.Message == null || next.Message.Length == 0) { message += next.GetType().FullName; }
                    else { message += next.Message; }
                    if (showExceptionDetail)
                    {
                        if (next.Data.Count > 0)
                        {
                            bool first = true;
                            message += " {";
                            foreach (string key in next.Data.Keys)
                            {
                                if (first) { first = false; }
                                else { message += ", "; }
                                message += key + "=\"" + next.Data[key] + "\"";
                            }
                            message += "}";
                        }
                        if (next.InnerException != next)
                        {
                            next = next.InnerException;
                            continue;
                        }
                    }
                    next = null;
                }
                while (next != null);
                MessageBox.Show(message, context, MessageBoxButton.OK);
            });
        }

        private const string SERVICE_LISTS_URL = "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
        void listSoapClient_GetListCollectionCompleted(object sender, GetListCollectionCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            try { myList.Text = e.Result.ToString(); }
            catch (Exception exception) { handleException("Failed to get list collection", exception); }
        }
    }

When I run this and it gets to the "ListsSoapClient" part, it breaks. If you dig down into the error output it says access is denied. I have tried various methods of sending credentials but none seem to work. "ClientCredentials.Windows" is not supported and ClientCredentials.UsersName.Username is read only.

Microsoft has confirmed that NTLM is not supported yet in the SDK. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7series/thread/43a84dff-9447-4e95-8040-8a5447514fa0
