Avoid the UTStarCom F1000G.  (802.11g version of F1000).  The buttons are far 
too close and tiny, the phone is too quiet, the ringers are subpar and the 
phone tends to lose its wifi for no particular reason.  When this happens it 
just "gives up" and does so without warning.  It's really quite random as to 
when it occurs.  Perhaps when the next firmware version is out it'll be 
better.  The manufacturer forums are active enough, but I was pretty 
underwhelmed with these phones.  

They *are* inexpensive, though.  I will grant them that.
