Don't want a WiFi-only phone?

"The FCC today approved the Motorola CN620, the first phone capable of
operating on both mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Although the phone was
developed by Motorola's iDEN group, the phone supports only GSM and Wi-Fi
networks. Voice calls started on Wi-Fi networks can be handed off to a GSM
network. The reverse is possible only for certain types of calls. Features
of the phone include a large color main display, an external display,
speakerphone, eight-way navigation, and PTT (push-to-talk). Although the
prototype approved by the FCC operates only on GSM networks, FCC documents
reveal that the final model will support all three major types of Wi-Fi
(802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a), as well as quad-band GSM."
