Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] skype wifi phone - does it exist yet?

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hi have a Vonage Wifi phone and I don't like it. It's two small and 
flimsy and lacks the polish of a cell phone. It also is sensitive to 
being around wifi sources such as computers which is problematic in an 
office environment. I have a Uniden PowerMax phone instead and it's much 
better although of course it isn't WiFi. The promise of WiFi usage 
anywhere doesn't really work out since you have to set up routing.
