Vonaga capable WiFi phone?

Would be awesome if I'd have a WiFi phone that would work with Vonage. This way I can use Vonage where ever a hotspot allows me to use WiFi ... just like a regular cellphone (OK limited coverage, but a LOT easier than to drag my LinkSys with cables and AC adapters around).

Here's some more information about the phone:

Not sure if anyone knows this, but will the phone charge support 110v and 240v for other countires? Also, theoretically this should work in a Hotel with a wired connection provided you bring your own wireless AP and get past the webpage proxy with your laptop right (i.e. paying the fee, accepting their T&C, etc.)?

The only problem is what if I am at a hotel overseas that ONLY has wifi and no wired connections AND requires the annoying proxy webpage...?[/url]

I have read both articles, and am wondering if alternative wireless Voip phones will work (like the one from Zyxel).

As for the powersupply; I bet it will do 100 - 240V. Nowadays a very common thing with these little chargers (see you laptop, Archos, digital camera, PDA, shaver, camcorder, etc).

Right now a cell phone on simultaneous ring is giving me the mobility i want but I can imagine a wifi Voip phone I woujld probably want to own.

What I understand is a wifi phone would be the only device provisioned to an account so there would only be one handset available at home for that account, UNLESS, the unit came with a cradle that had AC for recharging, ethernet port for hard wire to the internet and phone port for the house phone system. If I could get a wifi hand set with that kind of flexibility, at cordless phone prices I'd be tempted.
