I remember. I don't remember the quality difference being as stark as you suggest, but maybe it was. This offering from Google is VoIP as well though, right? I think a decent VoIP call's quality is still better than the average cell phone call, but that's not why I'd want this - I just find it convenient occasionally (maybe occasionally enough to justify $10/mo) to have a phone hanging on the wall. Something the babysitter can use reliably, for example.
