Hey guys, how is everyone doing.

I had set my N900 aside for a while since I switched to Verizon but just got a MiFi for work and I know it allows VOIP calls.

I also use Google Voice for all my calls and with the addition of google allowing us to tie google voice with google chat I have a few questions.

I am assuming I can add my Gmail account to the VOIP and IM accounts on the N900 and when someone calls my Google Voice number I will receive the call. I know with Skype out I can dial my contacts, so will I be able to do the same with Google Chat?

When I make calls through Gmail on the computer my Google Voice number is shown on the caller ID, if I can accomplish this on the N900 then I won't need a Skype account.

Anyone try this yet?

I don't think you can answer google voice calls to Gmail with Gchat.

You cannot answer Google Talk calls on the N900 yet. I really really really hope I'm proven wrong, because this would be huge for me.

Boy, if I could make a Google Talk phone call on this thing? I'd never use phone minutes again.

I can receive calls to my google voice number in pidgin (using my google talk account). Unfortunately I cannot receive calls on my n900 using google talk though. I'm not sure if there is some setting that needs to be changed. Has anyone had any luck?

I'm hoping Google will expand the Google Voice API to include this functionality.

I setup my account as a xmpp account, with all other settings as default (on ubuntu). I check my google talk account as an incoming phone in google voice, and when I call, I receive this:

Does this work for other people?

OK I tried it on Pidgin on N900 and it didn't work. Apparently Maemo Pidgin doesn't support audio chat. But this is still awesome, isn't it? If there's some way to tweak the current gmail talk plugin...

If it is possible for the pidgin desktop version to receive gtalk voice calls, it should technically be possible to recompile for n900 also.
Similarly, the telepathy CMs that handle gtalk should also be capable of receiving calls.
