So far they confirmed only data support (not voice) for upcoming device and Fremantle OS version. Presumably voice will come later.

Or presumably they don't want to let people play with voice on an open device.

There are hints that voice will be supported by Maemo 5 to some extent; my guess is primarily via headsets (either the wired one already included or Bluetooth preferably).
At a push, it may also support the headset-less "speaker phone" mode you can currently use with VoIP, or even sideways-holding-to-head.
I'd be surprised to see the Maemo 5 device(s) marketed as phones, and sold through normal mobile contracts though.
