  ok...
  
  cos the phone i planned to buy last friday, with WiFi, was out of stock...
  
  the shop only got the one without WiFi..and it cost $200 less...
  
  that got me thinking over the weekend...
  
  I mean like WiFi is good...but u must go to hotspot...then ur WiFi can be used....u got no WiFi connection on MRT, do you? or Bus?
  
  Do you really surf internet over the phone when u ar at Suntec? or McDonalds...

  Just my views...
  
  Not unless there is WIFI mesh, using WIFI phone is going to be a pain in the arse
  You line will drop, the internet charge is separate from your home internet which in my view should be integrated.
  Only good thing is that if calling overseas, voip can save some but this also depends... the line can be so bad, you just want to dial direct.

  using phone to surf net can be painful on the eye and hand, but nevertheless useful in certain situations.
  
  my phone is a wifi phone, but i still havent got a SIP gateway to try out the built-in Internet call features yet.

  ok...i decided...i will get the phone with WiFi.....
  
  Cos the entire singapore is going to increase the number of WiFi hotspots to 5000 island-wide by 1 Jan 2007...and surfing is free...but must sign up with either Singtel,Qmax or iCell
