Wi-Fi Cellphones

Cellphones and cameras have merged. Now they're marrying phone lines and the internet.

Wi-Fi phones make a splash -- "As a result, carriers are promising some dizzying scenarios by Christmas. For instance, a customer could start a call on an office Wi-Fi network, switch to a cell phone network as he or she travels outside the office building, then conclude the call on a home wireless network, all with no interruptions."

In the Philippines, few people own computers. However, you'll see someone using a cellphone wherever you look (yes, even in the CR). If wireless networks allow us to make affordable use of VoIP, I wonder if Filipinos will prefer to make voice calls over sms texting.
