1. Finally! I have a separate Desktop messages folder. So, there are now icons for "Messages" - all messages, "Desktop" - my Lotus Notes messages, "*@gmail.com" - BIS email, "*@vzw.blackberry.net" - carrier BB email. I wasn't sure if this day would ever come. Nice work RIM.
2. Oh, and whoever is using this, and doesn't remove the RIM internal apps....go to Options>Bug Report and disable this, or additional emails will be sent to RIM.
3. Another difference I noticed was that the Applications menu item is now directly under Options, not under Advanced Options as before. The Apps menu item also displays the icon of the app, presumably so you know whether you are deleting the right one. Although Quincy is listed, it does not allow you to delete the app.
4. I think your info is a bit outdated. The google voice login page has said "Google Voice is currently available by invite only. Get an Invite" for a while now.
5. And, to clarify my last comment: If you have your GV number set to display when someone calls you, the incoming calls will count against you, in the cases described above.
6. Oh, and couple thoughts on minute usage when making GV calls. (I am fairly certain that calls work the way described below...not positive) - Mobile to Mobile minutes: When calling someone, the GV number is what is calling them...and the GV number is what is calling you/what you are calling (depending on the methods I mentioned above), so even if they are on the same carrier as you (when the carrier supports free mobile to mobile calls), it will still cost both of you minutes. - Carrier supported favorites: If you don't have your GV number set as a favorite, then your call to them or their call to you will use your minutes. If the person you call, or that calls you, doesn't have your GV number set as a favorite, then the call will use their minutes.
7. Another option for a BB app is CardKaller (http://www.berryreview.com/2009/03/23/review-cardkaller-the-calling-card-manager-and-google-voice-dialer-for-blackberry/) that we reviewed back in March. CardCaller is more expensive than GV Dialer, but if you use calling cards a lot then that is a good reason to go for CardKaller. If you only use GV, then GV Dialer may be the way to go.
8. To clarify brian's comment: "You can actually change the # displayed to be your GV # or the callers #…." This is only when you RECEIVE calls. You can either see who is calling your, or see that someone called your GV number and not your cell number. "fyi, and you can call people with the service so it will display your GV #." This calling method requires you make the calls from a browser, or you call your GV number and dial the number you want to call.
9. The main point of using the app like this is so you don't have to add "0987456321,2,," in front of hundreds of phone numbers.
