Very much as above anyone know of a VoIP handset portable cordless phone
that has a base unit it charges from BUT the connection to the Internet
is by wireless wi-fi rather then wired i.e. plugging into a router?.

Or come to that one that connects directly to the net by your home
wi-fi?.

Any info appreciated.

One option would be to use a DECT VoIP handset and base unit together
with a WiFi client. The WiFi client would be connected to the base unit
with an ethernet cable. DECT usually has much better range than WiFi
and is better at working around interference as it has dynamic frequency
hopping.
Another option would be to use a desktop VoIP phone with a WiFi dongle
plugged into it. Some SNOM phones have this capability, but care is
needed to choose a dongle using a supported chipset as the SNOM phones
do not have drivers for all chipsets.

Failing that, most WiFi access points can be configured to act in client
mode thus providing an ethernet to WiFi bridge - so will get a wired
voip phone onto wifi.
