Google Voice

Google brought a revolutionary change the way we browsed the internet and used email services. Now Google has taken another leap with Google Voice and its Blackberry version does the justice for its use. If you are a power user that has a lot of business work to handle, Google Voice is certainly for you. The application is light with clear design to show dialed and received numbers, sms and voicemails, making it easier to browse using your Blackberry. Using dialing and sending sms are a bit tricky since you will have to choose “Call/SMS Using Google Voice” option when using the respective service. It takes a bit of time to get used to it but not problematic at all. You can get the free Google Voice at http://m.google.com/voice
