When the first version of GV was released, I noted it had the following flaws:
1) Must be connected to network when sending SMS. 2) Auto-text function does not work when composing SMS.
3) No character count when composing SMS.
4) No alert when text messages are received (no ring or vibrate).
5) Voicemails need to be downloaded again every time you want to listen. It
should download to my memory card the way Youmail does it. Also, it should
download automatically right when the message is received, instead of
manually pressing and waiting for download to come through.
6) Easy access to address book on BlackBerry where you begin typing a name
and it pulls up the address book quickly to call. Dialer should work like
the BlackBerry dialer.
7) SMS conversation does not show who sent which message. All messages (sent
and received) are displayed with the other party’s name.
It appears the new version fixes only #5 above.
