hey,

just got google voicemail up and running on my sprint tp (they confirmed yesterday for me that conditional call forwarding is now free) and a couple items have come up....

1) it plays the messages as mp3 files from your browser, and opens them in windows media player. which plays them on the speakerphone, not the "receiver" speaker. so your voicemails are played to the whole world. is there a tweak to force windows media to play to the earpiece speaker, or is there a different mp3 player someone can recommend?

2) since VM notifications are only through SMS now (not through the phones built-in notifications system, is there a way to assign a custom SMS ringtone to google voice, so that when voice sends an SMS you get a different notification than the normal new SMS sound?

the mp3 issue is the only thing that i think will prevent me from using google voice if theres no workaround. my voicemails dont need to be played to an audience. otherwise its a great system.
