As usual, Japan is way ahead of us.  As reported by a Japanese colleague:

Yesterday's news from Japan :  DoCoMo will start dual mode services both 3G 
FOMA and wireless LAN VoIP mobile from spring next year.  People can talk 
through VoIP when you are in the area of wireless LAN as an extention 
call.  Outside of LAN, it connects to 3G FOMA network 
automatically.  DoCoMo will try to extend the waiting mode life time as 
IEEE802.11b needs more battery than  FOMA from here after to be applied to 
newer terminal line up.
