Geeks.com is selling the HP iPAQ h2210 for less than $220 this week, with a... 3600 mAh extra battery and a 128 MB SD card. While this model is pretty old now it is still very capable with its 400 Mhz processor and so we thought that we could review it from the point of view of an affordable SIP phone (Ekiga, Gizmo, Stanaphone, FreeWorldDialup, Skype). Read more for our findings and a quick rundown of its amazing battery life times!

I think this is a nice idea who's time is not quite here. The WiFi phone that is. I guess if you already have a PDA or need a PDA then this is a nice additional feature. The comment about the software being unstable adds to my feelings of unease. I am not ready to buy till it is "ready", thanks.
It does seem like a better solution than the UTStarcom F1000 since you have a web browser and modern interface.

Something like the coming (soon?), netgear WiFi phone makes more sense to me in its more convenient form factor.

I like the idea of a WiFi phone, but this PDA solution doesn't seem very convenient to me. Not for $200 + wifi adapter.
