I more or less have one of those right here in my pocket barring the OS module you speak of.

I've seen a couple of those...the only one I could find/dig up was this. You can get it from vontage, or order direct from UT Starcom

All are wifi SIP phones and work well with Asterisk

iCell is already used in the cellphone industry. Though most cellphone users don't know this. It has been used for years, by Telos Technologies (bought by UTStarcom), for the IP base stations. Most specifically the All-IP CDMA base stations.

Though not exactly the same, I think there will be trade mark problems.

UTStar iCell: IP Based cellular base station system
Apple iCell: iPod cellular phone

And you know how sensitive people are to trademarks these days, especially across industries.

For those interested in what an IP base station is, and how it relates to traditional base stations have a look at a presentation (pdf) done by Jack Marr about All-IP CDMA infrastructure, it has some nice differences between traditional infrastructure and All-IP infrastructrue.

Check out the UTStarcom F1000. Also, Nokia phones are starting to gain WiFi support, eg the N91, and they plan on making VoIP a common thing in their phones apparently. Motorola might also have a GSM+VoWiFi phone somewhere.
