Vonage to Produce a WiFi Phone
EvilStein writes "Vonage is announcing plans for a WiFi phone that will allow Vonage subscribers to make VoIP calls from any WiFi hotspot. The phones are said to cost about $100. This looks to be a pretty cool setup and might rattle the wireless industry quite a bit if they pull it off." Another story notes that battery life won't be as good as existing cell phones.
Can you hear me n.....

OK, wireless but still less space than a Nomad. I guess that still makes it lame in some people's eyes...

Combines the crappiness of VOIP voice transmission with the unreliability of cell phones! Now we just need to get Microsoft in on this to really ruin it!

A new wireless phone product that isn't about
* being powered by Windows
* playing music and annoying ringtones
* takes even more megapixels of pics than ever before!
* plays microscopic video
No--it's about a phone that...get ready for it...improves the ability to make phone calls! What a new and novel idea! It's about F***in' time, and I have to say that this is the first phone that has piqued my interest in a long time.
