Ken,
I did lots of research on this for my VoIP deployment here where I work. We have a huge manufacturing floor and all the supervisors have wifi phones. We evetually settled on the Polycom Spectralink 8002. A nice rugged little phone with great sound quality and some good features. We use a managed switch to create seamless wifi coverage over all of our AP's. Provisioning the phone is pretty easy, but no web browser if you were planning on using the phone to travel with, some hotels require login for internet access.

I also tried a clamshell wifi SIP phone by D-Link. This phone actually works really well, but we had some minor issues with it so we went with all Spectralink phones. But the D-Link phone would be good choice if you plan to take your wifi phone on the road.

I also tested the Linksys WIP330 which I thought was a terrible phone. Very difficult to use.

Good luck.

Anyone know of any *portable* SIP/WiFi handsets?  Looking for a decent
price:quality ratio, of possible.  Keep seeing handsets for Vonage, etc.,
in Best Buy and the like, but I imagine it's locked to Vonage, and can't
be re-appropriated.

Thanks!
