So I was about to change to GV with an Obi110. Does this feature exist yet? My current VoIP provider lets me setup custom caller ID and I'd really miss that feature.
Does caller ID work at all for general names and numbers or does it only show the number for everyone?
Only shows the number, unless you program the person into your PHONE'S DIRECTORY in which case you'll see that info.

I'm on board with this. I imagine it either downloading a cached copy of my contact list directly to my Obi from Google Voice or allow me to set it manually in the interface. Using the speed dial would work fine for me.

I would also love to be able to use the Speed Dial to show CNAM on the phone. The Obi already seems to be able to do that when you use your Obi **9 speed dial Number. Why not with regular numbers....

Not quite. I am more interested in the CNAM display on the phone. I already do what the script above does and then some. i.e, My script, using Kiwi Syslog, will lookup numbers from the following places:
a) Local Cache (Will do Name substitution)
b) If number is not found in Cache, it looks up in opencnam.com
c) If number is not found there and you have a WhitePages.com DEV id, it will also check here.
d) Otherwise it will display unknown
It will then broadcast to all my PCs and Tivo's in my home that use YAC. If GROWL is enabled, it will also broadcast to my Tablets & Android phones if subscribed to the growl. Never got around to NCID though since I don't use that.
It isn't terribly sophisticated and wrote it on a weekend while bored using Autoit with an MS Access database. I have been using it for a while now, but what I really want is for CNAM to be displayed on the phone using the Speed Dial information.
Having CNAM on the handset will prevent me from being glued to the TV, Tablet or PC just to see who's calling. ;D
Take care...
