I know someone who has the Hitachi Wifi phones, I have used it, and  
as the other posts point out, battery life is a problem.  Especially  
when it gets lost in the couch for a week! ;-)

The other annoyance is that it takes a hit in the conversation when  
you switch from WAP to WAP, but as long as you're not getting handed  
back and forth between two WAP's you probably won't even notice.

Some others have suggested that a standard analog cordless is an  
option, however the problem becomes when the facility itself is  
larger than the range of the standard cordless since there is only  
one base.  Additionally you can't take your standard cordless to a  
hotspot and place a call.

Personally I haven't tried the Linksys/Cisco WiFi phones yet, but I'm  
eagerly anticipating one that would come with a speakerphone.  I'll  
buy the first one that offers it since that's a requirement for me.

I could care less about the color LCD, or browsing the web on the  
phone, but a good speakerphone built into a cordless WiFi is  
definitely a requirement that needs to be met before I purchase one.
