But like most have warned is google has only said it would be free until 2011
Not to nitpick, but just so no one is confused, that's free until the end of 2011. 8)

I understand the OBi uses Google Chat, but doesn't Google Voice require an actual line to forward your calls to; at least initially? I am interested in doing the same thing and was considering a SIP instead of my cable provider's VOIP.
RonR:
The OBi110 is able to interface with Google Voice (via XMPP) such that no additional support, callbacks, whatever are needed. Simply access your Gmail account, make at least one Google Voce call from it, make sure the Google Chat forwarding phone is checked in Google Voice, and your Gmail username/password will make the Obi110 do the rest.
Jeff205:
I must be missing something RonR, because I don't see the same thing as you. When I do that, I don't have Google Chat (or even the same tabs) in settings and I am not able to have a dedicated GV number.
Also, I tried to remove my landline number from my OBi connected account and it won't let me.
I know I'm missing something in your explanation.
RonR:
If you have a Google Voice and GMail account assocated with the same Google account, there should be an option on the lower left-hand side of the GMail page to make a call. Clicking on it should bring up a dialpad on the lower right-hand side. Make at least one call (installing the Google plug-in first, if required) and you should have Google Chat listed in your Google Voice phones list. Make sure it's checked. Plug your username and password into the OBi110 and it should be able to make and receive calls through your Google Voice number.
