Thanks for cutting off my last paragraph:

"Well there is one organisation but they don't make hardware. They  
even offer a one phone number solution for VoIP/Cell too:  
truphone.com" (which works with the Nokia E Series and N80s, as I  
mentioned)

The problem with the Nokia E Series, N80s, and Windows smartphones is  
that they're either very expensive and/or they don't actually make  
VoIP via WiFi easy. The only organisation that seems to get it is  
Truphone. You can take their software package, put it on the cheapest  
supported WiFi/GSM enabled phone you can get and then you have a  
phone that seamlessly swaps between WiFi and GSM with one phone number.

Truphone get it. Nobody else does yet.
