Perhaps if were drop the assumption that it would try to go from
IP-based SIP call to GSM voice call. What if the phone were simply
smart enough to go from wifi to GPRS - then it's more a matter of having
the endpoints able to withstand an IP address change mid-call.
Something like that could go BT->wifi->GPRS and back without missing a
beat - assuming that each step of the way involved a working IP address
and the software were smart enough..
