To the lucky few for whom this Gtalk video works, could you post which firmware version you are using?

At this point, I am willing to reflash my phone again with a firmware version that works just to check... I am on the NDT firmware (which should be the generic) and have a variety of accounts set up on my phone (3 MFEs including one for gmail, hotmail and work account; yahoo on IMAP, google account - using the built in google functionality but w/o email, just for gtalk; picasa, youtube, SIP (google voice), skype).

I reflashed the phone with PR1.3 and only turned on the google account - which never worked, so I doubt the accounts on the phone have much of an impact but they might...

I also tried creating a new google account from a US computer, I tried creating a google account while in another country from a local computer - both failed...

I am on Tmobile USA (not sure it makes any difference).

Anyway, thanks for any insights.
