The snom m3 does appear to be a DECT phone with a base that gateways to 
SIP:

Be interesting to check one out. However, I don't think it's actually 
available yet - only seeing it on a couple web stores that don't mention 
availability. If anyone's actually tried one, I'd love to hear about it.

Someone else pointed out the Aastra gateways:

This looks like more of an "enterprise-class" gateway.. in theory, it 
looks like handoff and such should work. A bit [quite a bit, that is] more 
expensive, however.
