Thanks for the writeup.

I've got the Google GV app on my Storm, but it's not convenient to place calls using that app. GVDialer is exactly what I need, but it's no longer available. Drats!

If anyone knows of an alternative, or knows where to get GVDialer, please let me know.

Thanks!!!

I am considering buying a blackberry on verizon for the sole reason of using the Google Voice to make all of my calls, and I have a few questions about the app and what plan I would need from verizon to use all of the features that the app has to offer.

I am not sure if I need unlimited texting in order to text through the google vioce app. Also, will I need an unlimited data package for me to make calls, view vociemail, and to send texts, all through Google Voice? I am planning to put
my GV number in "my circle" so that I can make inlimted calls and texts through that one number, much
like what you are doing. Thanks for the help.

A couple of responses: I think Google Voice did not have this app because Google likes to foster innovation in others. Besides, they would have to create apps for multiple platforms in order to be "fair."

As for the integration with Gmail, that would be nice; but at this point, you can sign up for Google Voice with a regular email. Presently, Google Voice is an isolated service not integrated with all-things-Google. This is certainly appealing for some, but I'm with you. I'm a self-professed Google Evangelist.

Beyond cool. I was just telling my Wife how I was going to hack up my contacts to add calling my own GV number first, GV PIN, option 2, and then the contact number. No need, this app does it for me, and I don't have to hack my contacts up, and it's just seamless. My only complaint - why didn't Google Voice have this app? Why doesn't GV let me get GMail notices and allow me to reply via GMail for SMS messages so I don't need to have any SMS messaging on my cell at all?

The wireless carriers' days of charging by the minute and per text message is coming to an end. They just need to get over it and charge a flat rate for data/voice. I'd tried that with MetroPCS, but unfortunately their data network stinks and isn't even 3G/EVDO and has more gaps than coverage.
