I'm keen to try one out too - they're just a tad too expensive, like the
rest of the Snom range )-: However I've had issues with the Siemens
phones to the extent that I'm not going to buy anymore until I can be
assured that their problem have been fixed, so there might not be much
choice...

I'm not personally a fan of Wi-Fi for voice comms though. It's just too
easy for another PC on the same access point to render VoIP totally
unusable if they upload/downlod a lot of data at the same time as a VoIP
call. There are access points that claim to be able to manage traffic
though, but how many consumers want to pay the premium for them? Not
many, I suspect...
