Your in Honk Kong and call home with your BB for free over the hotels wireless network. Of course there will be no SIP phone so whats the point?

Verizon's EVDO service is fast enough for me...and I agree that most businesses are securing their networks. That leaves only the commercial hotspots, like Starbucks, and most of those charge a fee that I don't need to pay, given EVDO's great speed. On a small screen device, really, how many times does one need the speed of WiFi? If I really need WiFi, that generally means that I need a laptop anyway, given what I need to do.
