AFAIK not in large quantities - seen some other phones on paper, don't 
know if they exist though...

The firmwares of the p2000W and the WiSIP are interchangeable. So yes.

The P200W and the WiSIP have quite a lot of bugs and usability issues. I 
would not use them in a productive environment unless it is with people 
with a technical background. The firmware and the phone are not there 
yet. The only Wireless SIP phone I would use in a productive environment 
would be the Cisco 7920.

WEP is NOT secure - if you need security use wired and encrypted 
communication.

Buy the one you like better and use the WiSIP firmware on Monday's and 
Wednesday's then change it to ZyXEL for the rest of the week. :-)

hope this helps
