This seems like a pretty good price for this wifi phone. Different to a cordless DECT style skype phone in that it can be used wirelessly on a home wifi network or out and about if you have access to a wifi network. Not sure how good it is really as I don't have one, but might be of some use if you're looking for such a device. Priced over £100 elsewhere. As far as I can see you could use it on any open or wep encrypted network.
There's a review here:

Though I don't think this one is tied to vonage in any way.

Talk time for the 11b version is supposedly ~5 hours. That's pretty good... I remember the old Cisco handsets (7920 I think) lasted from about the charger to the door before they ran out!
