PDAStreet's James Alan Miller reports that Paragon Wireless has announced the launch of the hipi-2200, a rather snazzy SIP-based dual-mode Wi-Fi/GSM phone designed for seamless hand-off between networks.

"As a Microsoft-based handset, it'll support Web browsing, music play and recording of voice or video, as well as other typical smartphone functions," Miller writes. "Paragon also says the 1100 mAh Lithium-Ion battery life for the hipi-2200 is 4 hours of talk and 100 hours in standby, even with both Wi-Fi and GSM radios turned on."

"The hipi-2200 changes the way enterprises -- and individuals -- communicate with each other," says Paragon vice president Ilkka Pouttu. "Organizations can immediately measure their ROI, while workers can access all the information they need from one handset. The hipi-2200 joins our product line as a result of our commitment to dual-mode product development, our experience in the handset market, and our continuous improvement to dual-mode technologies such as FMC (fixed-mobile convergence) features, security, power management, roaming, and over-the-air management of handsets."
