Check out Simon Telephonics' Google Voice Gateway (http://simonics.com/gvgw); I've been using it for a few months and it works very well. You do have to provide your GV credentials, and in return you get standard SIP credentials to use with any ATA (or other system) of your choice.

I'm happy with voip.ms and I've been using them for a year now. Very reliable for me but my call volume is very low. They are based in Canada but have servers across the US, Canada and even a pop in the UK.
I have my obi110 configured to use them for the primary line, Google voice as the secondary line.

I'll second Camarones' post - I too use VoIP.ms as my primary provider and am very satisfied with the cost and features. CallCentric is another reliable BYOD (bring-your-own-device) provider. Both work great with an OBI ATA.

Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, predictions re: Google Voice remaining a free service? It seems like they wait until more towards the end of the year to announce extensions of the free service. If they go to a paid service any ideas on the potential annual fee?

The using a 3rd party as a GV gateway to get it to a SIP acct or ???
That configuration would work on any device.
The 202 has 2-Phone Ports, Router & USB
The router acts as a QoS for the device so it maintains decent call quality even when the 'kids' are downloading 4gb of movies/music :P
The USB allows a dongle to be used to make it wireless.
Google Voice Support for Up to Four (4) Google Accounts
SIP Service Provider Support for Up to Four (4) SIP Accounts
Any Available Service Can be Accessed from Each Phone Port Independently
Aggregation / Bridging of Four (4) SIP and/or Google Voice Services and One (1) OBiTALK Service
The 110 has 1-Phone Port, 1-PSTN/POTS Port
Google Voice Support for Up to Two (2) Google Accounts
SIP Service Provider Support for Up to Two (2) SIP Accounts
Any Available Service Can be Accessed from the Phone Port Independently
Aggregation / Bridging of two (2) SIP and/or Google Voice Services and One (1) OBiTALK Service
SO, IF a POTS or PSTN connection is needed your only choice is the 110
other wise a 100 or 202 would work depending on the complexity of your set up.

IF they go with a paid model I'd imagine they'd go with a few 'levels' of pricing similar to below.
- Free with the caller or receiver listening to a 10-15 second ad BEFORE the call is completed.
- xx cents a minute billed to a pre-paid acct.
- xx dollars a month for all you can use
