On the other hand the cheap semi rubber plastic case is nice, fits well and is a good value.

Think I'll get a Zagg full body InvisibleShield and get this case then.

maybe i just need to add some repositories.
For the more-adventurous, add Extras-Testing. It is almost the same information as the Extras repo, you just need to add "-testing" to the end of the URL.

For the very-adventurous, there's a treasure trove of interesting stuff in Extras-Devel. Copy and paste, just like Extras-Testing, but add "-devel" to the end of the Extras URL.

Google Voice doesn't provide any sort of Voice service on it's own. It uses existing voice services (landline and cell phone) to function. To place a Google Voice call, you log into Google Voice and specify which of your existing voice services to use to place the call (i.e. landline, cell phone, VoIP Account (only Gizmo5 at the moment). You tell Google Voice (GV) which telephone number your wish to call. GV will initiate a call to the number your specified, and GV will initiate a call to your designated voice service. Once your and the party you called pick the call is routed though Goggle's extensive fiber network. GV acts as the middle man for the call.

So for example, I could use my N900 Cell Number as the endpoint of a GV call, or I could use my Gizmo5 account (SIP VoIP) as the end point. And I could be logged into Gizmo from my desktop or I could be logged into Gizmo from my N900 over a WiFi or cellular data connection. The later is what scare Cellular service providers are your don't burn any cellular minutes, it's strictly a data connection.

An impression from someone who doesn't have internet access at all yet:

Maps is terrible. It obviously has addresses in its database but you go to search for an address with the internet connection off and you type only 1 character and it says it can't find anything. I can't figure out what the little building icon is for. And the application eventually locks up and while the app can be killed it won't work again until the phone is restarted.

I like the GUI a lot so far. It is very slick. A little unhappy the full screen button is no longer there but I'll probably get used to it.

I like that there's now a task list and better calendar included; however the task list does not displace gpe for me because there are no categories and no method to assign a task independent of a date.

Taking the back off of the phone was scary the first time because it seemed like it was going to break.

I can't figure out if tmobile is working or not and I don't have wireless access right now either.

Actually, kind of what I wanted to see. I thought there was an app that allowed Maemo 5 to use google voice with SIP to make calls. Anyone tried it. Think it is something called dialer.

Google Voice Dialer (by epage?) http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29347

Though you need to register a SIP account at Gizmo and set it up, it doesn't do that for you.

Btw, mhotep, I ordered that rubber case so if it doesn't fit the n900 when I get the n900 I'm blaming you. :P

The application is called DialCentral. It's in the Maemo5 Extras Testing catalog. I've installed it and have it running and logged into Google Voce. And it works just fine with landline, cell phone and the N900 logged into Gizmo5 using WiFi.
