Google Voice is basically the middle man. Someone calls GV, GV hands the call off to whatever #, SIP, or Skype account (not sure if this is GV supported or a result of Gizmo handing it off to Skype to handle). Likewise, you make a call through GV, GV is the middleman and handles the call.

SMS works but not short code SMS. So you can't use the 5 letter/number SMS codes (though Google Calendar and Weather work..). SMS sent through GV will use the GV #. On the n800 it alerted you by flashing the blue led indicator. Now on the n900 I believe it ties into the notification system (so whatever LED that uses).
