For those that don't know yet, the Ooma app for Android is out. $9.95 in the market.

I downloaded it Thursday and put it to the test in Paris on Saturday via a wi-fi connection (Verizon Android so no over-the-air capabilities). The app itself worked fine, but Ooma garbled, then dropped the call after about 3 minutes. Was able to reconnect and complete the conversation.

Also tried it over the Verizon 3G service and it worked just fine.

In other words, it does what Skype should do on a VZ phone.

Aside from the aforementioned issue, I've encountered an Ooma "force close" issue if I try to dial out using the regular CDMA phone function. This is without the app noticably running, so apparently it has some module that runs in the background even if you haven't manually started the app.

More testing to do, and minor annoyances, but it does work.
