I've had quite a few people (including eagle-eyed Skyper Seb - thanks mate! ) asking whether or not the SMC / FON router bundle announed a while ago would mean that the SMC phone would be compatible with FON hotspots. The official answer: Not yet, but soon.

According to the details of the SMC phone on the FON website:

The current version of the SMC WiFi phone still needs a software upgrade before it can automatically connect to other FON Access Points. We are currently finalizing the software, and in 6-8 weeks, it will be available for download at http://en.fon.com/downloads/.

Don't worry, upgrading your phone is very easy and we will explain how to do it! Right now the phone works great with your La Fonera WiFi router at home. Configuration is simple.

So hopefully good news as I know that there was a bit of confusion over this at launch.
