I just got a SMCWSKP100. I thought I was just getting a cell phone replacement, but it sounds like a Polish diplomat. And you need to know that name to get the support information for the phone from the terribly slow SMC website. Anyway, it is a device that lets you make VOIP calls from any free wifi hotspot. Which is free through skype until the end of 2006 at which point it reverts back to the rate of about .021 cents per minute. As opposed to the .450 cents per minute that Cingular charges.
More later about pros and cons…
3 out of 4 bus stops covered with free wifi
can’t call a regular phone number without adding it to contact list first
