WiFi phone that works with FON May 22, 2006

Linksys recently announced two new WiFi phones, the WIP300 and WIP330. Latter should finally work on the FON network as it features hotspot authentication (i.e. a browser that allows you to enter user name and password). In other words, with the WIP330 you can talk all day for free to parties within the same SIP network (e.g. Stanaphone or Gizmodo) or cheaply worldwide. The features of the Linksys WIP330 comprise:

Support SIP v2 Standards
IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless Standard
Microsoft Windows CE & IE Web browser
Support QoS (Quality of Service)
50 hours standby time, 3 hours talk time
Fast Hotspot Authentication

According to eHomeUpgrade the WIP330 is available now for around $369.99. We checked a couple of etailers and ThinkBright seems to have it on stock for $305.50.
