Isn't it possible the chat option found in Google Voice's legacy settings (that is necessary for the calls to be directed to an Obi device)will disappear, as nothing will be using it except for Obi devices?
I already discussed this, in response to your questions, here:
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=12661.0The old, "Legacy" user interface will not go away, until the new user interface reaches feature/function parity with it. I other words, Google isn't going to take away any settings you can now adjust. Optimistically, they will add the missing settings to the new UI. Otherwise, they'll just leave the old UI around for those who need it.
Google is well aware that the "forward to Chat" setting is used by OBi customers, and they are specifically leaving that setting accessible. Remember: Google Employees use Google Voice, too, and many of them use it with OBi devices.
By the way, I did suggest to one of the Google Voice team members that they rename that setting "Forward to OBi device", but their lawyers are so strict that they probably won't include some other party's trademarked name.
