WiFi SIP phones share some problem with smartphones: battery runtime
and, most important, roaming and handover.
In WiFi network handling roaming/handover is up to the client, this is
the same kind of problem that arises in mobile WiFi POS systems.
Compared to DECT standard which implements roaming/handover this is a
major drawback.
Implementing a proper roaming/handover in WiFi networks, using
wireless controllers and suitable access points, is very expensive.
Where such expensive WiFi infrastructure have to be built only to
properly serve wireless phones a DECT multicell system is definitely a
winner considering coverage, features and battery runtime.

Giovanni,
I think you're completely right. Even to this day, it seems that Wifi is
not ready for voice, except while investing a lot of time/money.
DECT it is,
