    Oh, and wth regards to your last question (web configuration of a mobile phone), I think the answer is “almost”. See http://www.nokia.com/betalabs/pcphone

    Hooray, Google Voice (hitherto GrandCentral as dcreemer pointed out) has browser-based voicemail. I swear I didn’t know it at the time.

    [PS: Google, you can send the check to my PO Box]

    And of course for several months Google Voice (which is what GrandCentral became) now has automatic transcription of voicemail. Even more visual than visual voicemail!

    I love it when a great solution is trumped by an even greater solution.

    (Another example of this is when Graffiti trumped handwriting recognition, then the RIM Blackberry thumb keyboard trumped Graffiti. The Apple onscreen keyboard was decidedly a step backwards, although its auto-correct smarts are sweet.)
