Skype works fine, and the video works too as long as the other end is using the latest version, which only exists in Windoze.
I also use google chat video conf and audio and video works great too. (google recently released the browser widget for Linux OS, FF and Chrome, which work great)

Sipgate has good call quality over wi-fi (not so good over 3G but usable for brief periods) and is otherwise usable except for the fact that it makes my phone have a battery life of ~6 hours on 3G.

Sipsorcery is no longer accepting new signups so I can't use that anymore to get TCP access with Sipgate.

I tried PBXes + IPKall which worked well for two days. Then after that I would get "trunk outage" notifications, and when I do what it says to get my trunk online again I get another notification in ~20 minutes.

I heard rumors that Pidgin works with Google Talk + Google Voice on Ubuntu. If I install Ubuntu 9.04 mobile on my n900 will I be able to use Pidgin to call with Google Voice? Or alternatively can I just install Google Chrome with the GV plugin on that?

Are there any other VoIP providers that people use that work?
