Yes, there are many programs that can be used for voice chat. However none "interface" with the game itself or allow thier features to be changed/expanded on based on technologies researched.

I pre-ordered as well. But correct me if I'm wrong, I was under the impression that the CC wouldn't be charged untill the beta was released. Yet here I'm seeing a charge showing up on 01/05/07. Could the beta be ready? Or was I simply mistaken on when I would be charged?
