GV officially released on iPhones with push notifications, US calling, Int'l calling, and text messaging...I just cancelled my text messaging plan through AT&T :)

Worthless App.
Only calls out via cell to Google phone exchange.
Can't call into SipGate number and out through Google phone exchange.

Back to the web interface.

If you're waiting for for His Holiness, Steve Jobs, to bless the Google Voice app . . .

Huh?
Steve Jobs is irrelevant to my comments regarding the Google Voice application for iPhone.
If you go to the iPhone WEB interface, it still calls out via your cell phone.
Only when you go to the "desktop" version are you able to call into a different device.

The fact that the app gives me push notifications of new text messages allows me to cancel my text messaging plan and simply send/receive all texts through GV, which makes the app far from worthless.

I just installed it on my iPhone4. Google Voice is pretty slick, but the app itself needs a little bit more work.

I love the idea that I can give out 1 number and I can reroute, block, and have custom voicemails for any person or group of people. On top of that I can archive txt messages, reply to them through email and even make calls through my desktop computer.

Now thats what I call control.

The only thing GV needs is MMS and Voip.

You need to be careful, the penalty for blasphemy in the Cult of Apple is stoning.

All glory to the holy fruit, its name be praised.

I would like to know exactly why it took Apple 14+ months to approve this app.

Give it a rest with your Holy Crusade Against Jobs. Seriously, you even go into a thread with someone asking for help on his GF's iPhone 4 and start thread crapping against Jobs and Apple. Ultimately it turned out to be an AT&T worker who made a mistake on the plan and that's why certain functions on the iPhone 4 weren't working. Every thread has you taking a jab at Jobs and Apple. It gets tiring. Give it a rest. Your ever present criticisms of Jobs and Apple are as bad as anything you accuse "Apple Cultists" of.


To the OP, this is kind of a repost. I already mentioned this in the Apple sub forum.

I just ignore it most of the time. There's no such thing as a perfect phone, but I chose the iPhone4 because it does what I need very well. I think people get too caught up on what phone is better.
