I bought some weeks ago an GSM+Wifi phone (Win mobile 5.0+PPCiax) I got 
it work in WEP with my Linksys WRT54G - OpenWRT, but not WPA. If WiFi is 
always on, battery comes quick down.

Another very important point -don't know if it applies also to real Wifi 
phone- is that the phone has _not_ to go in power saving mode to be 
reached at each moment as the Wifi part doesn't use the hardware from 
GSM :-( eg even in power save mode an incoming GSM call/SMS is accepted. 
I went back to my cordless phone.
