And to answer your second question, I suspect some people would have very good use for such a phone. Myself personally, I travel often - in the last 6 weeks I've been home for precisely 4 days. Most of the hotels, etc I stay at have wireless of one sort or another, most of my friends have wireless in their homes, may offices I work at have wireless. So I could see very good use for having a wifi phone I can take with me....
regards,
Paul

In that example you could make outgoing calls only correct? (since incoming
likely needs port forwards)
I guess the questions becomes "how often are you going to do that to justify
the extra $100 or so you going to pay for a wifi sip phone?"
