BT has begun to sell the Motorola RAZR V3b with its Fusion service.  BT’s Fusion enables users to use the same mobile handset for calls over Vodafone’s network and over their own home broadband network. Fusion uses UMA to route a GSM call through a WiFi Fusion base station and onto a broadband connection.  If the mobile handset is out of range of the base station, the GSM call will be made over Vodafone’s network.

 

Originally, Fusion came with a fairly unremarkable Motorola V560, making the service interesting, but not exactly sexy. The addition of the Motorola RAZR V3b to the service certainly increases its attractiveness. Interesting to see where this WiFi/mobile phone/home broadband convergence is heading.
