I have some limited info reguarding the service and will try to post it later.

Here is some info about the Vonage Wi Fi Phone itself.

Dan,

Thanks for the info. Has anyone beta tested it?

Do we know how they are going to price it?

Thanks,

TC

Here is a Vonage WiFi Phone Review

The cost of the phone will be $100+/-

The service will be an add on to your current Vonage account, service pricing is unknown to me at this time.

Vonage originally announced the WiFi phone to be widely available by 2Q04, but it apparently has set back the release date:

We are currently completing a Wi-Fi Phone Beta trial and expect to launch service to all customers by 4Q 2005.

That would mean sometime before September 2005.

Unfortunately, the thing looks like a brick - and weighs nearly as much. A better form factor would be nice, as it's otherwise a GREAT idea.

I am sick of paying thru the nose for my crap cell phone service from Sprint.

It appears that the UTStarCom F1000 will be available (according to this one site) in late June:

Hi everyone...new to the forums, and this is my first post.

I'm wondering if there is any new info about the F1000 Wi-Fi phone. I hear it's available for purchase over in the UK. How much over there?

I only intend on getting Vonage (or any type of Voip service for that matter) if I can get a wi-fi phone. This specific piece of equipment will be the deciding factor for me to go to VOIP.......

thanx guys
