dksh,
Google's terminology confuses many. The Google Talk listed in your apps is not the same thing, that is a stand alone instant message/talk program. The google talk referenced in google voice is actually the same "google chat" that is used in gmail. Selecting the "google talk" for calling from google voice is actually going to ring the "google chat" feature of gmail (which is what the Obi uses).
In order to do this, your gmail account that you use for calling and your google voice account must be linked for the "google talk" option to show as a forwarding number on your google voice page.
If you use a different log in for gmail and google voice then the google talk option will not appear on your google voice page.
Also note, very few people have success getting the phone connected to the Obi to ring while their gmail is open in a browser.

jimates, thanks for clearing that up. I have my calls forwarded to Google Chat (Google Talk isn't listed as an option) and my GV and gmail are linked, so it will probably work. Unfortunately, I'm out of town on business and won't be able to set things up until Monday. :(
dksh:
IT WORKS!!!!! ;D
And it rings even when my gmail is open!
Thank you!
