I don't know specifically about wap authentication, but I don't believe it currently supports it. This was a limitation at the time I had my discussion with rim. I asked specifically if there were any wifi restrictions, and the response was it needed to be an open or wep secure (no wpa support yet) access point. Starbucks type hotspots where the user must authenticate would not work. So certificate auth would not work in this case. I think they mentioned future plans to support this, but I haven't been following the latest updates with this device.
I'm actually a T-Mobile HotSpot employee. You don't have to use WPA at any of our locations. All locations have either WPA or open auth options.

WiFi is the transport mechanism, but the LANGUAGE of the call will likely be SIP, although IAX or H.323 would be possible as well. Having the device as a SIP client will allow the greatest compatibility with corporate PBX systems. Won't matter if you have a Cisco, Nortel, Teltronics or something else - as long as the SIP stack and supported RFC are the same.

It will not work on home or public WLAN networks. It'll only work on a company campus.
Too bad. I'm sitting here my blackberry which is internationally roaming which is tethered to my notebook which is in turn connected to a free internet connection. Something is wrong with this picture.

It does support a few vpn clients so you can use it to connect back to your corp network.
