Is there a Voicemail Dialer Skin?

[SilvOreo]

I remember the old Treo's had something like this, but have never seen anything like it for Windows Mobile. What I'm looking for is a dialer skin that is only activated when you are connected to voicemail. It could be as simple as alternate text labels for the number keys, or it could be a complete new graphical layout of voicemail commands (like the new Visual Voicemail apps provide). Functions would include (with corresponding number keys):

1 Rewind 2 Pause 3 Fast Forward

4 Slower 5 Envelope Info 6 Faster / Next

7 Delete 8 Reply 9 Save

* Cancel/Exit 0 Help # Finish / Skip

Questions:
- Has anyone seen something like this?
- What would it take to create one?
- How would it interact or coexist with current Keypad and Call Status dialer skins/screens?
- How would it be triggered/invoked?
- I know there are dialer skin editors, but have never used one. What would be the best tool for this?

I don't know about a skin but since you have Verizon you could go with the Visual Voicemail.

I already paid $250 for a gimped phone. I'm a cheap SOB. I don't want to pay them more every month for what amounts to a dialer skin (I don't really get that many voicemails that I need to SEE them in a list to prioritize which ones to listen to first). Especially since that service is free on the competitors with better versions of the same device.

It is basically a complicated workaround in my opinion. But you may find it appealing/useful for your needs.
