Select other now uses Allowed values and works with List field allowed values. However it overrides the constraint validator for allowed values because there is no other way to change core list field behavior as a widget.

CCK Select Other has made the transition from CCK to Fields in Drupal 7. The module functionally works the same as it did in Drupal 6, but there are many improvements such as:
Multiple value fields, multiple fields, and Field Conditional State support.
Instructions
Add a new list field and choose the "Select other list" widget within any fieldable entity such as a Content Type, Profile2 Type, User, Taxonomy, etc...
Add the select list options within the field instance settings Select list options instead of adding them in the Allowed Values field settings.
After saving, you may want to set a default value by going back into the field settings.
