There are couple markets for Wifi phones out there.
For frequent travellers, wifi phone is small and convenient. Sit down and login to hotel's wifi network and you are back in the office. No more longD charges.

For large corporate whose building extends more than a few rooms, wifi phone allows someone, tech support folks mainly, to use his phone just about anywhere in the building. You can probably argue corporate this size usually provide employees a business cell but we are not going there. :)

But for what I want to do, PTP2T + DECT is indeed the best solution. Can't beat that on price and battery life. And "find phone" button will definitely be used quite frequently! :)
