iMac sharing landline with MBP provides caller ID and dialing from both Macs. Easily integrated with BuddyPop (anyone else still using that? ;-) and LaunchBar for dialing.
Each Mac paired with separate iPhone also works great.
Set up was easy and pretty straight forward.
Small issue quickly resolved by developer. That makes me happy!
Replaced another program that has always proven to be problematic and unreliable for me. With fix (noted above) PA has been absolutely reliable.
Highly recommended!

This app is currently best of breed in this category, IMHO. I use it regularly.

Magic Jack essentially combines two telephone system components into a simple plug-and-play solution using software on your computer along with the Magic Jack hardware:
(1) a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone adaptor that runs as software on your computer.
(2) a VoIP telephone service that costs nominally $20/year for nationwide long distance.
You can achieve a similar result with a dedicated VoIP telephone adaptor by using Google Voice and/or other Internet Telephone Service Providers.
What's unique about Phone Amego is that it works with iPhone, Landlines, VoIP, Google Voice, and provides extensive Mac integration.

Hoping we can see a version for iOS to do CallerID *name* lookup for mobile calls -- oddly Apple has not addressed this serious cellular deficiency...

That depends on your phone.
[iPhone] Since Phone Amego uses the "HandsfreeGateway" to connect with iPhone, you cannot use a Bluetooth headset and Phone Amego at the same time except for the Google Voice dialer which does not require a Bluetooth connection. You can use your Mac as a Hands-Free speakerphone if you wish, and user a Bluetooth headset with your Mac.
[Other BT Phones] Most Bluetooth cell phones (but not the iPhone) allow Phone Amego to connect with the Serial Port Profile (SPP). In this case, you can use Phone Amego at the same time as a Bluetooth headset connected to your phone.
Kind Regards,
- Peter

My five favorite features:
1. Keyboard dialing: A keyboard shortcut opens the Call window. I begin typing a name, and Phone Amego completes the name or presents a menu of possibilities. Down-arrow to select the desired number + 2 Returns, and the number is dialing.
2. Call logging in iCal: One or two Phone Amego calendars collect time-stamped incoming and outgoing calls. I leave these calendars hidden until I have a question, e.g., "When did I call Julie?", "How many times has Fred called this week?" I can scan the entries in my monthly view or do an iCal Find.
3. Growl Caller ID: Incoming callers are announced in the corner of my screen.
4. Enhanced Caller ID: Phone Amego checks an incoming number against my Address Book and WhitePages.com.
5. Peter Sichel (the developer): His responsiveness to questions, problems and suggestions is second to none. He's an A+ Mac developer.
I use Phone Amego with a conventional land line. I'm sure I'd be just as happy if I were a Bluetooth or VoIP user.
