You're right! I just installed it and am testing it currently

It may not roll out right away but someone in the comments thread posted up the updated Google Hangouts Dialer as well as Hangouts 2.3

I installed both and am now able to make and receive calls to Hangouts with at least one caveat I just noticed: in airplane mode with only wifi enabled, it appears that you cannot receive any calls. Presumably this has something to do with the Hangouts dialer integration relying on the native dialer, which of course will only work if the phone has service. For pure wifi calling though, I don't know if it's possible to receive calls. I was able to call out no problems whatsoever.

Unless I can figure something else out, looks like I'm still stuck bringing the Ipod Touch with me :T


EDIT: Nevermind! I had to go to Hangout settings and then my email, and select "Incoming phone calls" so that it would ring Hangouts instead. Sweet! Looks like this will work out after all!!! What perfect timing... let's hope the CQ is good. I still need to test this out on VPN too
