Tales said" You can literally be in a public space, connected to a WiFi hotspot and make 10 cent untimed calls to landlines around Australia, and 20 cent untimed calls to 20 countries around the world." However there is no guarantee that public hotspot will support VoIP.

Tales said the main benefit would be for people who habitually use their cellphone to make calls when they are in their office, or at home. Also this does not take into account the cost of access to the hotspot. iTWire believes that this would require the customer to subscribe to the public hotspot service being used, and pay usage charges.

The N80 is a quadband GSM/WCDMA phone with 3-megapixel camera. Apart from its WLAN capability, the key differentiator with the Nokia N80 Internet Edition, according to Ingram "is that it's packed with additional applications and services."

These include: the ability to upload photos to the Flickr photo sharing site, the ability to read book's with the Amazon's MobiPocket Reader; Yahoo! Go Mobile: for email, instant messaging, photos, search and address book.

It retails for $1,049, but you can get one from Next Mobile for $799, if you don't mind it carrying a Telstra or Optus logo.
