How long have you had GMAIL accounts? Perhaps the longevity has something to do with it?
FYI...Ive had a Gmail account since the days (mid 2000s) when they were issuing invites for a Gmail

How"s it been working so far? Especially interested in group messaging.

- If you have Hangouts running on the desktop, it apparently intercepts incoming calls and the phone doesn't see them - I encountered this and un-installed the Chrome Hangouts extension to prevent it (I can't even "pick up" incoming calls on my desktop right now, as I don't have a Web cam or even a mic plugged in)

Let me understand this - you can't have Hangouts running in your Chrome browser on yr desktop and still receive phone calls on yr Nexus/Fi?
Isn't that one of the supposed advantages of what Fi is supposed to offer?
Next question: any issues with Bluetooth on yr phone (Hangouts on "normal" Android phones doesn't support BT)?

I haven't. I signed up on 4/24 and I'm in Prince George's County.
You can, I do. It's just sometimes your device device doesn't get the notifications if your PC receives the notify. Your device receives things fine, just minus the notify, some times. For example with SMS, your PC will receive the SMS and you will see the notification, my Nexus will be 50/50 whether it sends me a notification. It always gets the SMS, just not always the SMS notification.
What's weird, I use Hangouts on my iPhone, the iPhone always receives the notifications, even if my desk sends me a notification.

I don't care much about sms, people say it rings in hangouts for phone calls and therefore you end up missing a call. Moreover, unless you log out, your phone is not going to work even when u actually don't use hangouts on PC.
It actually worked this way with sms/hangouts for a while, when I close Chrome everything gets routed to phone. Calls go both ways when using GV
For anyone asking about group messaging, there are problems if you have integrated Fi texts and voicemails into hangouts. If you want/need proper group messaging you lose the ability to get texts through hangouts. For me I'm using messenger until they fix the hangouts issues. If you do it this way, texts work just as expected.
Also service has been pretty awesome so far.
