Anyone have experience with wireless WiFi handsets?

I use a Nokia E61 sect-band handset with built in SIP based VOIP over WiFi or 2100mhz UMTS. It works great. Sign up for a free account with truphone. My handsset handles WEP and WPA encryption and I've used it in numerous countries. Some technical knowledge is needed, but this isn't rocket science.

I use a Nokia N95 at home as my wireless VOIP phone.

On a recent trip to Poland, I was able to stand outside Orange shops, use their free wireless connection and call the UK for not a lot at all!

I've tried my Sony Mylo gadget for Skype-Out and WiFi websurfing(also use for ripped DVD's and music on airplanes). Voice quality varies, sometimes have gotten comments that it has echos and is tinny. Also touch-tone passthrough doesn't always work reliably. In general, I think a GSM cellphone usually offers better quality, but Skype is remarkably cheap. The Mylo is available on ebay for much less than retail if you wanted a cheap lightweight Skype solution.
