If you do the google voice/sipgate thing, then you can use a program to do a data call to your sip number, and make a phone call that way (via data). I do this all the time when I don't have a signal (sprint) but WiFi. On 3g, the call quality is good, and people don't notice that I am on a data connection. It does kill my cell phone battery though....but it's a small price to pay for cheap phone calls...

All these different types of keyboards for the android devices are making my head spin. Next it will be brain waves to text!

If you could tie your google name to your google voice number, then instead of people getting your phone number, they could click on your user name, and then select call, it rings your phone, then when you pick up, it calls the other person. If that's the case, that would rock!

Man, I make data calls all the time, sipdroid and google voice, nothing easier than that.
Comment Google Voice (Score 1) 289
You could get a google voice number, and then do the SIPgate/sipsorcery thing with PBX.org. I have my wife set up with that now, and she uses it all the time while she's deployed. She has Fring set up on her ipod touch, and has the sip portion set up with pbx.org setting, the call quality is great. If you're with Verizon, then get an android phone and download sipdroid. Have the setting with google voice to ring your sipgate number, and you'll be all set.

Submission + - Newzbin 2 site up and running (newzbin.com)

"We are pleased to announce that Newzbin2 is now live and featuring unfiltered NZB Reports.
There are catches and we don't want you having too high expectations for now. To be blunt, we've been struggling to understand the site code & systems. The backend is way more complicated than we realised. Some of it is busted and some services we don't know how to operate fully yet. We are working hard but we thought, based on comments on the http://deepsharer.wordpress.com/ blog, that it would be better to run a partial Newzbin clone now rather than leave it for a couple of months until we do grok it all. Understand that things are likely to be a bit wobbly for a while and stuff may well fall over, but we hope to kick things into shape soon.
We dont have a functional payment system in place yet so the site will be free for a week or two. When we get a credits system running we will be respecting the credits you have left over from Newzbin.
Obviously we hope that you editor administrators and editors will remain with us as you are truly valuable: all users have the same status they did when Newzbin shut down as we didn't alter anything. Obviously if you no longer wish to be an editor your status can be changed.
We'll try and answer your questions in the comments.

Google got all the hip going for this phone, and probably thought that only the "super geek" would get it. Now that Ma an Pa Bell are getting this phone, and don't know how to enter in the information for looking onto the cell phone network, or how to send text message, google will find out how "smart" the average american is :)

This is completely insane. Blaming P2P for the leak instead of having control over the documents. I know with the NMCI system, anything that is transferred to a external hard drive is encrypted. If the US Government wants to stop these types of leaks, maybe they should ask Al Gore how to stop his wonderful invention.

Maybe the phone company should rethink the business model and go with DSL. Hell, they have phone lines just about everywhere. Instead of going with "telephone" with the luxury of internet, they should sell DSL with the option of VOIP
