There is a lot of noise about VoIP lately, especially because it can help you avoid a major part of your cellphone bill. The first VoIP handsets released were all USB-based, but now cordless, Bluetooth and WiFi handsets are springing one by one in the market. The most affordable WiFi handset in the market right now, selling for just $150, is the FiWin SS28S that was released at the beginning of the summer by FiWin. Geeks.com sent us in a unit for the purposes of this review.

Not at all. I was completely blown away by the audio quality. As I stated, I'm willing to overlook the issues because it was so impressive. Who really scans their networks looking for mac addresses in FiWin's range to find voip phones so that they can exploit them?
Usability issues were bad, but I spend most of my time on the same network, so I can overlook that one as well.
And hopefully FiWin will figure something out with the USB issue. Maybe they'll start selling the cable?
