I just got out of testing out the new voice feature in Second Life, and I'm extremely impressed. It's now only available in the beta area of Second Life, and I can't wait for Linden Lab to deploy it throughout the entire service, which is due to happen one week from today.
The signal is clean, clear, and high-fidelity, much more so than a standard phone call. It's like having the person standing next to you. If you've used Skype, you expect that quality of service (when it's working -- the problem with Skype and other VoIP services is they tend to be more unreliable than plain old copper-wire phone service).
