Re: Ready for it today.

It is supposed to work with any broadband connection. That's an interesting idea though...but you'd still have to have a VZ cell plan in addition to whatever they'll charge for the privilege of not using their cellular network while at home.

T-Mobile is doing theirs a little differently where the phone itself switches modes to WiFi. This is basically a base station for your normal cell phone connected to broadband by Ethernet, mimicking a real cell site. I wonder what happens when a bunch of these are in close proximity like a high-density MDU scenario...

the highest density i have seen is 2 of these phones on my wireless router. works fine. ha

The benefit of wifi is you could be in Europe and call locally as if you were in the states. Not that I do that but an advantage.

That would be the T-Mobile type. This is different and each would have a 'base station' of sorts in the form of a femtocell. They aren't WiFi.
