I recently purchased a GSM phone (Kaiser) which comes with a SIP phone as well. I've hooked it up to my Asterisk server using the built-in WiFi but haven't tried over the cell phone data network.
I find in Canada, data pricing is way to costly to use on an ongoing basis. I believe that these types of dual mode devices will become much more popular. When I am in a WiFi zone, and the SIP client is registered, the phone will automatically make calls using SIP. As soon as I am not connected anymore, it switches back to GSM. In the Toronto Asterisk user group mailing list, there was recently a discussion regarding the openMOKO. I believe someone even got Asterisk to run on an iphone - your own portable PBX in a pocket! Keep us posted if you ever find that reasonable data plan.
