Yesterday I found out a new and awesome service that Google provides-- Call Phone via Gmail. Since I'm a Google Voice user (just criticized it the other day lol) the option automatically shows up in my chatting list and it's really easy to make a (free) call to a US number if I'm sitting in front of my laptop with internet access. Wow! I guess I won't use up my minutes anymore (sincere apology to my family plan members). I did notice a small UI problem. When I'm dialing, Google pulls out the contacts from my stored contact list (kinda like autocomplete), but the results blocked the virtual keypad on the screen so I have to type with my physical keyboard instead. I mean, it's not a big deal but it's kinda dumb and even Skype doesn't have this problem.
I searched a bit just wanted to see others geeks' comments on this service, apparently others found more problems than me.

Well as long as it's free (??) I still like it.
Just a note to myself, this is how I send/reply SMS thru my Google Voice using Android.
