It's another to produce a handset that can 'hand over' from one to the other. According to testing house, Anite, such phones will be ready for testing by Q3 2005. If you're making a voice call or mid-way through a download session using a mobile phone and a Wi-Fi connexion what happens if you move out of the hotspot? Currently, you'd have to drop the session and start again over cellular. Not with UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access), though."</i><br /><br />This sounds promising. It's good to see a move toward seamless simplicity for multiple mobile data connections. As I get older I increasingly want thing to just *work* without fiddling. Ah, for the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34609&amp;">Elegance of Simplicity.... </a>
