    Honestly, it's a fucking damn shame that apple rejected the iPhone google voice app. I've been testing it for months and it fucking rules.

    Knocks the blackberry and android app out of the water.

    Apple and AT&T are fucking ridicous - scared of google voice? Let's stifle innovation!!!

    Ugh.
