Google Voice (GV) and Caller ID Name Display - Custom Caller ID
RevKev:
I'll vote this up.
I think speed dials (and adding name in the obi device) would be great as a first source and my OBiTalk account (vcard upload or sync with contacts?) as a secondary source. Of course that assumes (a) the device has storage for all names/numbers and (b) OBiTalk can provision storage space for each account. An increase in the number of speed dials would be a plus.
Additionally, it would be nice if on any incoming call via any source, if the caller name is missing or in a list of known ambiguous values, that the name be looked up locally (i.e. "wireless caller", "unknown", "private", etc.).

This would be highly appreciated. I'd also suggest having the ability to enter a number lookup URL that could make a http request to a local or remote server, using a substitution variable, for example:
http://192.168.0.100/lookup?%number%
This would go to a server on a machine on the local network that would look up the number. Of course, you might be able to use certain other publicly-available sources. ;)

I "second the motion" - Caller Name PLEASE!
The idea of offloading to another server, reachable by Tcp/ip hostname or even just IP address, is great.
Could be over http or some other (semi) standard protocol.
That would allow us (or third parties) to hook into any services and/or databases we like.
A refinement would be to ring immediately, and in parallel commence the caller name request.
If the OBI gets a name response before the phone goes off-hook, re-do the ring sequence with the caller's number and name.
Another refinement would be to keep a cache of caller-number/caller-name in the OBI.
dahosepipe:
yes PLEASE! This would be wonderful to have. Even nicer if it could integrate with my GV contacts, but I'm happy to upload or configure manually.
thighdude:
I agree with the posts above and would love to see a feature where external web CNAM databases / services could be queried so that caller ID name can be populated in cases where the provider (e.g. Google Voice) only provides caller ID number.
