I've gotten SIP calls to work via hotspots on a Dell Axim running
SJ-Phone. I've also had reasonable success with a Nokia E60. I've had
ZERO luck from a hotspot on the UTStarCom phones, nor on the Linksys
wifi phones. I'm not quite sure yet why something which is ONLY a wifi
phone has more issues connecting to wifi hotspots than, say,
multi-function devices.
However, looking at the shortcuts both developers have taken in their
firmware, I'm of the opinion it's just sloppy code.

I travel a lot for work. I frequently find hotels that have wifi, free

sufficient to support voip applications. At least not good enough to
compel me to not use my cell phone. If you have control of the host
LAN then you can ensure it meets the needs of a wifi SIP phone,
otherwise why bother.
Has anyone ever seen anyone making a voip call on a wif handset ata
public hotspot? While that would score many geek points I doubt it
would work in many places.
About 18 mo ago I bought the Hitachi Cable WIP5000 handset. It was
seriously flawed so I resold it after a few months and settled on the
Aastra desk phone. I do wish the cordless handsets were a little more
like a Panasonic cordless phone...more buttons...easier to program, etc.
