wifi phone?

If I get the new Skype WiFi phone (or pre-order) can not be used anywhere where wireless connectivity is based? For example, if I was driving through the city (I live in Chicago) can I "connect" to a wireless connection that is leaking in the street? I know there are some wifi hotspots in the city where I could probably touch but I'm curious to know if the phone Wi-Fi can essentially replace my phone (at least in the city).

I would appreciate any response on this point before I drop $ 200.

How do I make a regular phone to function like a wifi phone?

For example, Skype's wifi phone needs a wireless connection. How do I make the phone work on a wired connection?

European Leaders Call for Ban of Cell Phones and WiFi in Schools

The European Council has taken the exemplary step of recommending that mobile phones and wireless networks be banned in classrooms and schools. They note, correctly, that young people and children are most vulnerable to emissions of electromagnetic fields and suggest the following:

" … develop within different ministries (education, environment and health) targeted information campaigns aimed at teachers, parents and children to alert them to the specific risks of early, ill-considered and prolonged use of mobiles and other devices emitting microwaves; " …ban all mobile phones, DECT phones or WiFi or WLAN systems from classrooms and schools, as advocated by some regional authorities, medical associations and civil society organizations"

If you are not yet aware of the increased risks to children from cell phones, I suggest viewing this  graphic from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute , which is based on research by Oh Ghandi, PhD at the University of Utah. It shows quite clearly that electromagnetic fields are likely to penetrate the brain far more deeply for children than adults. In fact, due to their thinner skulls, smaller brains and softer brain tissue,  children are FAR more susceptible to damage  from cell phone use than adults.

You can get unlimited nationwide calls over Wi-Fi–at home via your wireless router or at any U.S. T-Mobile HotSpot. You can also use the HotSpot Enabled service via most open, or unsecured, wireless routers, as well as any secured wireless router for which you have access to the password from the owner.
