Huh? iPhones are all tethered, linked, connected to a phone....their own
phone. Why is that different, other than airtime charges?

Yes, I make calls on the N800 over several VoIP systems like Skype or Gizmo
or your favorite flavor of SIP VoIP all the time. While waiting for my
Mercedes service this morning, I was called by someone I know in Siberia.
We were worried about someone we both know in Osaka, JP, so I conferenced
him on Skype and the 3 of us talked for about 40 minutes, using the free
wifi at my Mercedes shop they provide their customers as a service.

I could have done it if I had the new Sony Playstation Portable 2000 with
Skype, just as well.....which I think is just slick as snot!....(c;

Can you call anyone on iPhones without being tethered to a sellphone
company?
