Why they'll like it:

Just plug the base unit into a VoIP adapter, and they're done, and ready to save hundreds of dollars on long-distance calls. Even better, the 5.8GHz phones won't interfere with their Wi-Fi nets, which run at 2.4GHz. There's also a three-handset package for larger houses.
Who it's for:
Treo lovers who want broadband speed and modem capability.
Why they'll like it:

Must-have features include phone-as-modem support for their laptop, a big color screen with video playback, and MP3 player support. It doesn't do Wi-Fi though. For that consider the Windows Mobile-based 700w. They'll love you either way!

Who it's for:
VoIP subscribers who want to make calls at hotspots as well as home or office.
