Mobile Phones which also log on to Home WiFi Network

Anyone seen these for sale? I know there are skype phones which run off the wireless home network and I've also seen BT's adverts for phones which give free calling when at home as they use the hub.
But for the life of me I can't find a normal mobile phone which can log onto a home wireless router network - are these actually available without an expensive BT mobile and broadband contract?

My XDA mini has build in WiFi , so I could connect it to my WLAN at home and use SkyPe for Mobiles to dial out if I had to.0

Not too sure if it's what you're after but I thought the new lot of smartphones had WiFi - like the Nokia N80? Also, PDAs like the MDA Vario (which I have & can recommend) have Wifi built in, with half-decent browsing & e-mail capabilities.0

These are starting to roll out slowly, a mate has a nokia (N80 I think) that does the job.
HTC (behind oranges SPV range among others) are bringing out products such as http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/02/21/htc_p4350_communicator/ (just look at that 50% rating), but that's more of a pda.0 -
If you just want wifi VOIP (SIP not Skype) look at something like the Linksys WIP300UK or WIP330UK.
:cool:
