Is there a hardware difference between OBI110 and OBI200? If not, why OBI200 would work but not OBI110 if someone develops a firmware like obifirmware.com?
OBi1x0 devices have MIPS processor while OBi2xx devices have ARM processor so not binary code compatible. Also OBi1x0 devices have significantly less memory.

Your 110 is still useful as a SIP ATA and bridge device, so I wouldn't call it a brick or paperweight. But, no, you can't use it with the current version of GV. I suspect it might be something to do with memory/register size. The credentials for GV are quite a bit bigger than for other VoIP services. Still, the cost of paid VoIP service has come down a lot in the last few years, and some of the carriers offer awesome features and service. There's a learning curve with anything new, but my own opinion is that it's worth it. You might want to take a look.
Or, you could spring for a new Obi box. Or wait. Now that Google Voice has moved over to a SIP protocol, Obihai might not be the only game in town for that soon.
Even if you just keep the 110 for its FXO bridge capabilities to use in conjunction with an Obi200, it's worth it.

Thanks. I understand better now.
I have obifirmware.com with OAUTH on SP1 and callcentric on SP2 only for 911 purpose.
If I get free NY number from callcenteric and use that NY number as forwarding number on GV setting, would it work for all incoming calls and free?
Any way to get cheap for free outgoing?

Ha. I was just going to post that. Yes, free Callcentric DID would take care of your incoming GV calls. Plus they have free CNAM and the best tools to stop telemarketers/robodialers around.
Then just use a low cost ITSP like Circlenet for your outgoing calls and spoof your GV number. Outgoing costs would be minimal.

Looking at their website, Circlenet will get probably cranky if you spoof your CID on outgoing calls. Plus, there's a monthly charge.
If you don't mind plunking down $25 minimum to credit a prepaid account, voip.ms might be the way to go. They're very liberal about CID spoofing, there's no monthly charge unless you want one of their DIDs, and North America is a penny a minute with no taxes or surcharges.
Also, pre-Obihai, weren't you able to use Google Voice to initiate free outbound phonecalls that would ring to your home phone, via the webpage?
