I want to try it out, but for obvious reasons (because Google can) it's invite only :\

I do but I have never really used it. I think newby might as well. I can't see a way to invite people like with the gmail beta or anything though.

I have a competitive product called CallWave.  It's pretty awesome, here's why:

* If I want to screen a call, I send it to my voicemail.  CallWave calls me again (from the originating number) and allows me to hear my voicemail and what the caller is saying.  I can then press 1 to join the call.
* All my voicemails are automatically transcribed and sent to me in a text message and email.
* I also get audio recordings sent to my email.

I pay for it, but it's also been totally worth it.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Text messages for lazy people?

Yeah, I've had GrandCentral for over a year. I don't have the Google Voice thing, though.

Never mind. My account just got upgraded. Sweet. :)

EDIT -- It's just like GrandCentral, but with a Gmail-like interface and text messaging. It's pretty sweet.

As it would turn out, the voice to text does not work. Warrior called me and said,

QuoteHello and welcome to Google Voice. Besides the existing GrandCentral features, we've added: SMS, Voicemail transcript, Conference calling and low priced international calling. We hope you'll like those features and the new inbox. Thank You.

And it came out,

Quotehello  up  on  the  pool  voice  besides  the  existing  grandson  the  features  we  about  an  S  M  S  voicemail  transcript  conference  calling  in  low  price  and  national  calling  we  hope  you'll  like  the  features  and  then  and  thank  you

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I just upgraded to Google Voice from GrandCentral. They gave me a free dollar!

I really dig it. The interface takes after GMail, and the voicemail transcripts are awsome, even though they don't work perfectly!

<Camel> you want to do it in my butt?
<Blaze> in my butt
<Camel> let's do it in the butt

Only people who've already got a GrandCentral account are invited. I can't invite you.

I think it is, but users don't have any invites to give out yet.

They hardly work at all. lol.

The default message:

QuoteHello and welcome to Google Voice. Besides the existing GrandCentral features, we've added: SMS, Voicemail transcript, Conference calling and low priced international calling. We hope you'll like those features and the new inbox. Thank You.

Warrior repeating this message:

Quotehello  up  on  the  pool  voice  besides  the  existing  grandson  the  features  we  about  an  S  M  S  voicemail  transcript  conference  calling  in  low  price  and  national  calling  we  hope  you'll  like  the  features  and  then  and  thank  you 

I could never actually legitimately trust or use them!

I did see your OP, newby! :P

My results were not nearly that bad. Maybe Warrior just sucks at speaking?
