Travel Technology - Are there any GSM + WI-FI cell phones in existance today

Just curious if anyone knows of any GSM/Wi-Fi phones, phones which can seamlessly transfer between Wi-Fi and GSM networks which already exist. Samsung T709 is only due to come out in several month.

There are certainly some phones available, but the seamless transfer depends on a service provider putting the necessary infrastructure in place. Few have done so to date, but that will change in the next 12 months.

Sure; I've got the T-mobile SDA and MDA which have both. However, this is for data only, not voice (yet).

The iMate JasJar has GSM/CDMA and wifi (only B). Skype is shipped on the unit, although I have heard mixed reviews on how well it works. It will not shift between GSM/CDMA and wifi.

Actually; your JasJas does 802.11g as well. Do a search online for "802.11g and jasjar". 2 simple registry keys enable the wifi radio to do G. Same for the Wizzard /k-jam.

Scott,

Thanks. I will have to search for that.
