The main telecom companies will be unveiling Wifi phones this year according to InfoSyncWorld.
This could be the end of the line for analog lines because well with digital service, and wifi access. There just isnt a need for good old Analog. Unless of course you live in the rural wilds of the west. In which case its time to upgrade to a satelite phone.

One example of new phone to be released:

Nokia 6136

Bridging two of the world’s most ubiquitous wireless standards, the Nokia 6136 will be the first GAN handset to spring from the loins of the world’s most popular handset maker when it launches some time in the second quarter of 2006.
