Belkin Wi-Fi PhoneD-Link recently came out with a Wi-Fi Phone. Now Belkin is joining the Wi-Fi phone market with the Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype. With it, you can make free, unlimited domestic and International calls to other Skype users without the use of a computer. And just like D-Link's model, you can make calls to landline phones worldwide.

Making a call is just like using Skype: use the menu to find your contact and view your online availability. It also features WPA and WPA2 with PSK support for secure calls and 802.11b/g compatibility.

The Wi-Fi Phone will ship in North America in August 2006 and will sell for $149.99. You can preorder it now on Amazon.com.

It launches in Asia, Europe, and Australia soon after.

I'm curious how wifi devices like this manage to attach themselves to wireless networks, how they deal with secured networks or data encryption and so forth. Any information in that regard?
