My Nokia E71 has a decent sip-client and vpn capabilities.  I use it as 
an extension all day long (and also as a GSM phone and pda), but I 
haven't used the vpn and sip together, yet.  As an added bonus, it's an 
S60/3 with a well-documented API and an active development community.  
It's still pricey -- ~$300, but there are less expensive wifi/sip 
equipped Nokias out there.
