3. Poor data connection / no data connection: Related to #1. Auto-start: How about if I prevent login when there is no data connection? Then once you've connected, you can click Settings->Login.

Yup. But if I dismiss the window from the "Settings" window; then when I re-open QGVdial, it will return to the "Settings" window.
I was suggesting to add "that same button" to the bottom of your other windows.
[making it a bit easier to close QGVdial, and more convenient to return (as it will return you to your previous QGVdial screen)]
Of course, this wastes screen real-estate. Which is why I thought a hotkey might be more palatable.

Excellent!

New build!
-> This one is pretty much geared at attempting to fulfill kbyork's request - Failing gracefully when there is no connection or limited connection.
It is by no means complete - because there's so many things that can go wrong when it comes to network connectivity.
Please test and tell me if it helps.

I gave it the simplest case I could think of...
- no data connection at all.
- used N900's CONTACTS
- used "call via QGV"
- (wait a minute...) still trying to call...
- hit "Cancel" button.... Received call failed and call canceled messages.
- waited 15 minutes
- tried to make another call. Received "another call is in progress. please try again later."
- established a Wifi connection,
- waited 15 minutes
- tried to make another call. Received "another call is in progress. please try again later."

@kbyork: Thanks for the test.
New build: This bug (and some others) fixed.
Should reach extras-devel and then extras-testing soon.

QGVdial now handles that simple case [i.e. no data connection at all], quickly and cleanly.
So I tried a more difficult case.... WiFi hotspot before excepting the providers "terms of service" agreement.
[memo: As most hotspots are 'open' networks, you will immediately get a connection and an IP address.
......But all your requests will be re-routed to the providers server until you agree to their terms of service]
When I tried this; I received the same failure as before.
2. Dismiss window: Already present: Click settings and "Dismiss window"
3. Poor data connection / no data connection: Related to #1. Auto-start: How about if I prevent login when there is no data connection? Then once you've connected, you can click Settings->Login.
4. Fallback mode: Excellent idea. File a bug so I don't forget.
5. Google voice contacts in n900 phone book. I *can* do this, but it is definitely not something I want to do. The problem I have with it is that I think if I do this, it will only increase the confusion with other Google contact providers such as TOR and gtalk. Instead I might consider doing a Google contacts sync with the phonebook. There was another developer who was starting or was in the process of making such a sync app. When work on qgvdial reduces, I'll look into it.
qgvdial should work equally well on pr1.2 and 1.3
I have stopped testing on 1.2 because I have only one n900 - and it's my main phone so it's going to remain on 1.3.
PS: Bugs / enhancements go here.
qgvdial: Google Voice client. All downloads
qgvtp: Phone integration for the n900 that dials out and sends texts using qgvdial.
mosquitto: message broker that implements the MQ Telemetry Transport protocol version 3.
qgvnotify: Google voice and contacts notifier for diablo and maemo.
