I want Google Voice NOW!!!

I want this awesome app on my phone bad... really bad.... Guess we all have to wait until it comes to Indonesia. Sigh.

PROS:
  1. Works just like Sykpe, only better. Fully integrated with your address book, so you can make calls directly from your phone, from the address book. No need to sign in to the website first.
  2. It's FREE (so far, in US)
  3. One number for all your calls and SMS. Google Voice number will be assigned, and you can link this number for all your phones - cellular 1, cellular 2, cellular 3, home, office, and so on. No more figuring out which phone number you should give to a particular person - just give this one number. All calls will be routed to your assigned phone device. This is extremely useful for Indonesians used to carrying 2 - 3 phones with different providers (because of the rate difference, calling a person with provider A to provider A is much cheaper than calling provider A to provider B). Now I'll have push calls in addition to my push emails!
  4. Calls are FREE (from Google Voice to Google Voice) because it's VoIP.
  5. Online voicemail as easy as email, with karaoke-style transcripts (you can read the voicemail!). Save your voicemails to your inbox. Forward to anyone via email.
  6. Cool features for the calls: Announce caller and listen to voicemail as it's being recorded.
  7. Send and receive SMS like emails.
  8. It's FREE!! (so far)
CONS:
  1. Only available in the US (for the time being) :-( :-(
