Do you think when Wi-FI, and Wi-Fi phones, and PDAs become cheaper people won't use cell phones as much?

Yes, I believe once Wi-Fi Broadband is almost everywhere then people will not use cell phones as much and use WI-Fi phones which call people by using the internet apps like skype, etc.

Like this Belkin Wi-Fi phone Which cost 179.99 http://www.belkin.com/skype/howitworks/

eventually everything will go to some form of wi fi or another but i genuinely can't see whats wrong with a standard PC headset and a number pad.

Benefits of wi-fi phones over headsets...

Portability. People want thinner portable devices that can snap, warp, crack more easier then heavier devices.

I think when people talk at home on the phone they use speakers and a wireless microphone and PC with good voice recognition software in the future since headsets can be a hassle to clean if you have a dandruff, waxy ear problem.
