Btw Google Voice has nothing to do with Visual Voicemail

I think this is one of the best features on this phone. I just play it and I am done. I hope they keep it tied to Android for a while so everyone can drool hehe.

I agree. VVmail is awesome! Too bad it sounds like a robot called haha. But it is awesome.

Yeah, listened to my first voicemail today and it scared me to death. Thought the devil was calling me... already.

As for Google Voice, I have however many invites I get to hand out left (haven't given any out yet) so if anyone wants one... just let me know.

As for the service, it's not really that smooth so I haven't used it. Best part of it is picking your own number, mine is (***) 2get2Bo, which took me about 3 days to find something involving my name. I tried the GV app with this phone, and was kinda dissappointed it wasn't more integrated into the phone, took it off for now.

Yea its extremely useful when tied to a fave five plan or something but outside of that its basically a messaging service on the pc haha. I got my number to match my cell number except for the middle three numbers. Works out nice, but GV is pretty much useless.

I liked the idea of listening in live on voicemails, and mid voicemail answering, as well as being able to make unique settings for each incoming number. but until the integration becomes better I doubt many people will spend much time with it.

Agreed, plus the idea of certain people ringing certain phones is great until someone at home answers the call before you get to it and you have to call back haha. They have some great ideas and they need to listen to their communities. Their calendar app is 2nd to none as is gmail.
