Nokia/Cisco phone project

The Nokia/Cisco phone project is due for production later this year/next year. It supposedly switches between Wi-Fi and GSM to retain connectivity ie: It normally uses GSM until it hits a Wi-Fi hotspot and then uses VoIP protocol via the wireless environment to make and receive calls - what a potentially huge saving! Bring it on!

One of the main things that they were discussing was that in order for the VOIP protocols to work effectively, i.e. not drop your calls and actually connect when you were in a hot spot, the hotspots would need be have no security protocols and would need to accept random incoming connections which is basically what they are trying to stop at the moment due to obvious security issues :)

But an awesome phone in concept.

Let's hope they come right soon.
