about the same price as existing wifi phones. My main hassle is it doesn’

I frequently find hotels that have wifi, free or otherwise available. But I've
yet to find it anywhere near sufficient to support voip applications. At least
not good enough to compel me to not use my cell phone. If you have control of
the host LAN then you can ensure it meets the needs of a wifi SIP phone,
otherwise why bother.<br>
<br>
Has anyone ever seen anyone making a voip call on a wif handset ata public
hotspot? While that would score many geek points I doubt it would work in many
places.<br>
<br>
About 18 mo ago I bought the Hitachi Cable WIP5000 handset. It was seriously
flawed so I resold it after a few months and settled on the Aastra desk phone.
I do wish the cordless handsets were a little more like a Panasonic cordless
phone...more buttons...easier to program, etc.<br>
