I am certainly a Google Voice convert. The service is fantastic. I love everything about it. It truely is a virtual assistant. Using it on the PC is easy to do since it’s browser based. But how well does it work on an Internet capable device like the iPhone? The browser version is less than to be desired. It works OK, but certainly nothing like a native iPhone app would.
There are already clients for android devices and blackberries authored by Google, but not for the iPhone. There are two choices out there written by a few external software developers. I chose to install and use Voice Central. It has an incredibly easy to use interface and most of the Google Voice funtionality that you’d want to use from a phone interface. I like how the tabs are organized with voicemail, history, contacts, keypad and settings. I can track SMS conversations, voice mails, missed calls etc.. everything you would expect to have on a moderm phone, but with all of the call routing functionality that Google Voice has to offer. The call routing functionality is done on the Google Voice Web Site and not on the phone. But everything else the application does and does very well.
