Do you have a link to that? I've been trying to find an official one.
Edit: NVM, found this:

If I were to guess I'd say US and Canada remains free after the end of the year.
Official gmail blog.

When I call my cell/landline phones from gmail, CallerID shows my Google Voice number.
No luck in using N900 to make the calls. On the offchance that it would work, I opened up Phone, selected my gmail account as the call type, and dialed. Gave me an "Incorrect address" error.

Further test:
I connected Google Talk to my GV account, but when I call it, my N900 doesn't ring, just my browser. When close gmail in the browser, Google Talk doesn't ring at all.

No rpm support to test this on Fedora. Probably Android will be the first getting this as a mobile platform. Or should we consider running as Easy Ubuntu

Don't know if Android will get it or not. Do they even have Google Voice and Video chat yet?
I'm hoping that it will be some tweak to the GTalk plugin that will enable us to at least receive calls on our N900s. Who can say?
