This might be premature. I still can't use Hangouts to make voice-only calls, and I end up going back to its predecessor over and over.
When I try to use Hangouts for ordinary phone calls, the system assumes I want a video chat, and can't seem to understand that I want to use my USB headset, not the microphone on the video camera and the system speakers, for a voice-only call. I've never been able to train the system to default to the USB headset and leave the video camera out of the equation.
I'm going to try the new version on principle, but I have serious doubts.
