Nokia, Motorola Show Cellular-VoIP Phones

Chicago Tribune | Nokia, Motorola Show Cellular-VoIP Phones:

The new Nokia 6136 and Motorola A910 handsets introduced at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona can connect to the Internet via WiFi, rather than Bluetooth, to make cut-price calls from the home, office or public hotspot. A handful of similar phones have been announced by smaller manufacturers in recent months.

Do such phones and the push for WiFi-based VoIP present a great opportunity for m-payments? The WiFi link can be used as extremely fast local communication in a physical POS and for virtual POS transactions the WiFi will make the user experience extremely fast with negligible network latency.
