It's not available in the UK, Siemens pulled the UK varient of the 
product due to lack of demand.  They'll only release something in a 
country if companies place orders for 1000's of the product.  There 
simply isn't the demand for Wifi phones in the UK to sell them in a 
reasonable amount of time.

I have one of them in my desk drawer which I've had for a good while, 
it's pretty good but as someone else said, not as good as DECT.

cheers,
Paul.
