Re: Google Voice includes SMS! (The old GrandCentral)

I've been using the upgrade for a few days including the new mobile site and have been impressed. SMS has been flawless and I like the threaded message format. I'd recommend that you backup / export your contacts as the upgrade requires a manual import via .csv. The import to Google Voice does not include group settings (at least not for me) which is a pain but not that big a deal as I found that you can go through the list and select multiple contacts to assign to a group all at once. I like the mobile sites Quick Call and SMS feature but it's missing the ability to delete both Voicemail and SMS messages from the inbox. On a phone screen a few SMS threads add up to some major scrolling. I also use Google Sync for contacts and calendar ... still sorting out the group issue but over all great apps from Google.

I really like Google's use of Gizmo as a SIP phone ... this option has provide many creative way to use VoIP call through local calling numbers.
