is S60 really ready for seamless VoIP and data sync with open WiFi spots?

Yes!

That's not a bad idea, but this still requires you to have used something else to connect.

Again though, I think auto-connecting to open hotspots is not a reality, as when you think of T-Mobile or Panera bread, and so many others, even if you were to auto-connect to the hotspot, you ain't routin' VoIP traffic until you've manually browsed a couple of web pages. So, if Internet Telephony (could be) set to auto-connect to all these open hotspots, I'd expect a failure rate of about 80% without manual intervention anyway. Even if you look at Linksys's high end WiFi VoIP phone, they had to put a web browser in it for this exact purpose.

Can anyone tell me a large brand of open WiFi hotpots that will instantly route traffic upon connection? Meaning no login, no pay, no nothing? T-Mo and Panera will fail.

maybe i just need to setup some built-in S60 features?

Just use the builtin email app, it works and (of course) it's integrated with the standby screen.

If that's the version you are running, Internet Tel. has GOT to be there somewhere.

Perhaps try the demo of HandyTaskman which allows you to launch applications by name, even hidden ones:
