Has anyone tested its "Call" feature yet? Is the quality really good, like as if person is in the next room...or same room? |

Update: Myself and Hikaru79 tested out the VOIP stuff and it worked really well. It's comparable to a phone (although I'd say better); and it's WAY better then my cell phone is. Anyways I'm off to work, but have fun experimenting! |

Yeah, that's point of this thread. Since this is a new service right, so no one has any contact to add. Therefore, we're starting a little community here. I have, hm, 4 people on an 2 waiting. (That would be Martin and Cervantes) ![]() Update: Call quality is awsome. But make sure the other person you're speaking with has headphones, because you really trip yourself out when speaking, since you hear what you just said 2 seconds ago. Make youself sound like an idiot on the mic. ![]() |

paulbian@gmail.com I like their rename option, I think you can do it on msn, its just less accessible. Now you are: cervantes, cornflake, hikaru, martin, notoroge and wtd. And if coutsos signs on, you know what his name is gonna be ... not coutsos on my list thats for sure ![]() hm... and it automatically sorted everything too. |

yep i'd expect _some text_ to underline it.. not italicize it.. the bold seems standard.. but i haven't yet figured out how to underline a word..hmm |

![]() Ah well. It's Linux, that can't last too long... Since it's just Jabber, perhaps some other Jabber clients already have this, just not Gaim? And if not, now that Google Talk uses it, and it is not just some fringe player, perhaps more devs will focus on client development for Jabber. Maybe. We can hope. |

well that's a shame. Oh well, I'm using Adium anyways. I find it's ability to group same contacts connected over different protocols. No double entries ![]() For those on a Mac, googleTalk is added as a jabber account, and connect server is talk.google.com the rest is default. tony[dot]targonski[at]gmail |

Nope, working fine... I'm connected with both the google client and gaim at once and it's not giving me any errors at all; although acording to gaim I was disconnected many a time while I was at work... |

Yeah, I couldn't connect for a while yesterday. Works fine now, though. EDIT at 10:23 : Err, now it isn't working. "Could not authenticate to server." EDIT^2, a minute later : Wierd. Now it works! |

I've been experiencing certain oddities with Google Talk. Occassionally I am not able to go to websites/download files, it will say "forbidden" or it will time out, and when I close Google Talk, I am able to go to the sites and download files. Anyone have similar experiences? |

You are saying it restricts your internet access? Are you using the official Google client or using Jabber in some custom IM program? Try using something other than the google one. |

yea official google client. some experiences: 1. I go to a website, it immediately says "not found", I close google talk, I go to it again, it loads. 2. I download a video file, instead of downloading it, it streams... wmv... in quicktime o0 . And I can't right click and save as. I close google talk, it works as I click it. 3. I download a file, it says blah blah hostname cannot be found, close google talk, retry, it works. no firewall, one router, no anti virus. |
