That does sound like a definite plus and it would make it an excellent
reason for going Android... but I will have to hear of someone actually
using it before I jump.
I have been told if I move to Vancouver there will be a lot more work for
me... so I have been thinking of maybe renting from a daughter and staying
there during the week if what you have been hearing is true it would be a
great reason think new Android phone.

I've also heard, but haven't checked it out yet, that with android based
smartphones, you can use this feature to make calls and it doesn't count
against
your mobile plan minutes. True, it would use your data minutes, but you can
choose to have your phone connect to your home, or any other available,
wireless
network and go through that connection. My head is kind of spinning
thinking
about it, but basically, I can connect my cell phone to my home wireless
network, and use this gmail feature to make hours long phone calls without
worry
of using up my mobile phone minutes or going over my data plan limits.

It seems that you can now connect to a regular phone via a GMail component.
I have not checked it all out yet but at first blush it looks good.
