Thanks for all the great feedback guys. Nokia phone/hand held is a good quality phone but the only problem is that it has a WiFi limitation. You can only set a few number of trusted networks. So, it would not connect to any zone automatically. If you are within the vicinity of a free network then you have to manually set it as a trusted site. On top of that, only 5 or 6 networks can be added to the list. The automatic / auto trust option is what strive for (I know I would use it for SIP more than I regular GSM). For that reason, I think HTC phones (which run Windows) are more attractive. However, the downside for them is the battery life and Windows (freezes; this is what I heard from friends). Though I have never had an HTC phone before. I had an HP iPaq (644MHZ) hand held and it would freeze too much. So, I would stay away from iPaq.
I also liked the idea of "Laptop" :) I guess that is the ideal solution. In addition, OpenMoko sounds to be very interesting and obviously the first thing that comes to mind is that it's open source and lots can be done with it. But, I just saw a clip of it booting up and woooooo it will take some time till it boots up. What if you have to make that quick 911 call and the phone is off? lol... I guess something like a lifeline would be a good feature to have on this phone.
