Google Voice…..

Let me start off by saying, pardon my blogging skills…I’m new to this.

Wow!   I got my Grandcentral account updated today to Google Voice.  Being the Googlehead that I am, I will try and be as honest with my review. I am sending out my GV number to everyone, and take the plunge.. there isnt a better way to learn, than to just do it.

I have only had it for about an hour or so, so as I discover new things, etc.. I will add to this. Screenshots to come soon as well.

Off the bat, I am impressed.  The user interface is comparable to that of Gmail, its googlesque to say the least.  Its super easy to navigate and if you are familiar with the google products, you will be right at home.  On your inbox, is everything that has happened recently with your activity, from SMS messages, to voicemails.  You can respond to either in the web interface, or from whatever phone you have tethered to your GV numbmer.  You can make calls within the browser, that automatically connects what phone you choose to the number you want to call.  Same thing wth SMS messages.  I will need to play around with this more and get back to you guys.

The iPhone needs an app for this STAT.  While I can navigate thru the web browser just fine, the average joe won’t want to do this.  The iPhone web interface is easy enough, but in order for this thing to take off, it needs to replace the built in contact/phone list.  However.. if you have your iPhone sync your contacts with your Gmail account, then it pulls that data over to Google Voice and automatically populates your contact list.

More to come.. I wanted to blog about this, but know there is much more to say…  In the meantime, leave me a message
