I've been using the UT Starcom F1000G WiFi phone for a while now. It's
a bit fiddly to setup, and voice quality might be better, but it does
the job for what I want it for. Not sure it would be good for "serious"
or "corp-rat" business use, but ...

And of-course your VoIP experience will only be as good as the Internet
connection you have - so out in the middle of no-where where they only
have an ADSL line then it could be problematic, but I'll find out soon
enough when I travel to Egypt where I know a place I'll be in where I
can get free WiFi access (to a 512Kbps ADSL connection)

A friend of mine has the 3000 model, which is pretty and has a colour
screen, but he seems to have great problems programming it...
