New Phone Uses WLAN or Cel Networks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-what-i'm-talking-about dept.

Reefa writes "Avaya, Motorola and Proxim this week are expected to announce a co-developed handset and enterprise network gear that let mobile phone users roam between cellular networks and wireless LANs to make/receive calls. The phone uses SIP to make calls when on the WLAN network and switches to using cellular network when out of WLAN coverage and vice versa. The device also supports Push-To-Talk over SIP. BTW, the phone runs WinCE."

    I go with some friends tonight to see the new movie I Robot in our local cinemaplex. Halfway
    through the movie I'm about to cork off and decide to liven
    things up a little in the theater.

    Unknown to my friends, I had eaten several bowls of cereal
    and milk earlier and I'm basically lactose intolerant.
    What this boils down to is that the cereal and milk ferment
    in my gut and give me really raunchy gas about 2 hours
    after I down them.

    Well, the gas attack happens on schedule and I proceed to
    start stinking up the theater with SBDs! Beside me is an
    oriental couple and their little girl is sitting in the
    seat right next to me. She was getting the brunt of the
    noxious fumes, and after 30 minutes of getting gassed she
    was in tears and sobbing out loud to her mother that "I
    WANNA GO HOOOOOME MOMMY".

    It was all I could do to keep from busting out laughing.

    Of course, you could hear other people sitting in front of
    and behind me complain about the stench too. Isn't life
    grand?
