Invest in a webhost and FTP stuff from your Axim. Dreamhost is pretty dependable. I can give you some discount codes (~$50/yr or less for 200GB storage; pretty handy to have just in general while travelling and for backups. While you're at it, you can setup your own email account [take that, 2.8GB Gmail!]); PM if interested.

Compared to buying a Wi-Fi Skype phone, it can be a bargain; an SDA currently runs about $160. That's actually less than NETGEAR or Belkin phones.
