And the iPhone will also pick up wifi, iirc.
As do some (many?) far more reasonably-priced phones...
That's good to know. I've not encountered a dual-standard one yet (they
were all over a trade show I went to in 2004, the main motivation being
improved in-building coverage I was told; but that was pretty much the
last I heard of them), although I do have a wifi-only phone.
My Orange SPV E650 (made by HTC and released by them under their own
brand as well, I believe) does GPRS and WiFi.

Interesting. The only person I've ever seen with an SPV (except for
Captain Scarlet and his colleagues, of course) said, unprompted, that it
was the worst phone they'd ever had and to stay well away from it. I
don't know what they expected from a phone so it might suit some people
very well indeed.

Well what do you expect when you have to walk backwards while talking on
it? I'll get me coat...
