    In reply to Gizmo5 Update Available, Brings Better Google Voice Support
    So when are they gonna relaunch it already? I'm bouncing in my chair waiting to get onto Gizmo.

    This would be perfect for me. I recently picked up an HTC Hero from Sprint, and the first thing I did was grab the Google Voice app and set it to replace all of the normal phone functions (voice, SMS, voicemail), so it's like my Sprint number doesn't even exist. I work in a solid steel building, and data signals from Sprint's network can barely penetrate. So it's great having my phone set up to use the building's wireless, letting me make calls from areas that are complete dead zones for everyone else.

    Just so people don't say there are only complaints about Apple fanboyism, but isn't a post about a rumor saying it's "a certainty" kinda pointless?

    But oh well, let's see how this one plays out... I love Google, but there are tons of Google services that I chose the competition.

    If Google ACTUALLY designed every element of the phone in house - took 2-3 years of development including a beta phone, I would be interested. I just don't want them rolling out some gimmicky phone. I want transparent screens, keyboard, HD, 7.1 surround sound, FLASH, microphone, 12 MP camera, 200gb storage, iTunes ready, GPS enabled, camera flash, and a sweet Hello Kitty dongle to attach it to my brief case. Nothing less!

    Unless Google plans to remove the necessity of a carrier with a souped up Google Voice and "the real Android", honestly, I could hardly care.

    Especially given Andy Rubin's firm denial of such a phone. I'm not sure how I'd feel about finding out your "trusted source" is more trustworthy than a development head of an open source project.

    There was some speculation that the Google Phone was actually going to be a VOIP phone, not cellular. Any confirmation of that?

    @PN - gooapplesoft: Well, Google is famous for their limited betas. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that once Gizmo5 is added to Google Voice that Gizmo5 users will get to use the feature first. Similar to how all former Grandcentral users got first dibs on Google Voice.

    Plus Gizmo5 can currently be used (in a very roundabout way) with GV.

    @PN - gooapplesoft: I've been using Google Voice for my business for several months (all calls routed to my cell, the features make it a PERFECT business line). The only problem is I fly through my minutes when I'm in the office. I figured the buyout would lead to a Skype competitor, and if Google Voice worked with Gizmo5 already I should signup and be at the front of the line. I haven't been able to test it yet to my bluetooth headphones not playing nice with Win7, but I'm excited about the possibilities of a (pretty much) free office line. #gizmo5

    In reply to Are Google Voice Calls To and From Your Computer Coming?
    Will we have to pay for our US calling now if Gizmo5 becomes part of the whole GV deal? If so... le sigh. I just got my G1 back from repairs and set up Sipdroid and GV/Gizmo so I could use my GV callout to make free calls when I need to.

    If they're gonna start charging, I'm out =\ #gizmo5
