Wait, which one represents an apple? :/

Had to throw that in there. Such a waste of time talking about this rubbish. But I needed a mindless break and happened upon it. Keep blathering on.

I’m interested as I’ve only read this article and comment thread and I would expect what ben said to be correct, that you can retain your iPhone number, not route it through google voice and if people SMS you or leave a voicemail for you on your iPhone number (not your GV number) your iPhone will continue to work just the way it always has.

If you want the experience Apple designed their device for then purchase that. Thinking you are entitled to have the mix and match experience on a proprietary device is much like thinking your Ford Focus should give the same experience as Mercedes or you squash should taste like eggplant just cause that is what you are wanting to taste at that moment. Get the squash.

You think you do and you are completely Wrong.

Instead of getting your talking points from TechCrunch , You should do more research.

Facts Are:

It “DOES” shuts down Visual Voicemail by routing calls through Google Voice.

It “DOES” Replace Apple’s text messaging.

It “DOES” moves contacts to Google’s servers.
“Without your Consent May I Add”

This is Documented, “Even by Google”, But they Downplay and Call it a “Feature”.

I Know.. First Hand,
It Does Sends All your Information in your Address Book to Googles Servers… ALL OF IT>>>

And to Cut this Short. it Is True what was Posted, You May Not Like it But Unless you Know First Hand you are Just Speculating and Your Whole Post is Uneducated Speculation Nonsense.

What Rock Have You Been Living Under.

Use Google Search to Find the Answer’s since it will be listed in a number of first page entry’s.

And for Goodness sake,
Don’t get your So Called “NEWS FACTS” from One Source.

Fact’s Are you Can Activate Google Voice and “It Will Run ALL THE TIME” and Take Over The Main Usage Function so you Never Have to Use Apple’s….

And This Is The Problem.

It effectively shuts down Visual Voicemail by routing calls through Google Voice, replaces Apple’s text messaging, and moves contacts to Google’s servers”

Wrong, wrong, and (probably) wrong. The above statement is so wrong. Google provides it’s own voicemail for for the people who sign up for their Voice service. It’s the exact same as if you had a home phone that forwarded to your iPhone. The Google Voice App just gives you access to that service, just like having a speed dial. Your Visual Voicemail remains intact and if you receive calls on your iPhone number, it will still work. And if you go to make a call with the Apple phone application, it will not be redirected to Google somehow. Same goes for text messaging. The only time you would use the Google services is if you started up the Google application.

As for moving contacts to Google’s servers, everything I’ve heard, it just accesses your existing contacts in your existing address book, just like hundreds of other apps. There is (probably) no uploading of your contacts to Google servers.

I’m not saying I support Apple’s equivocation here, but they have the right to reject whatever applications they want.

As dictated by what authority? You buy a product, you buy what you paid for, what is advertised, what you know about it. Like the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii, Computers, Phones, etc. You buy into that ecosystem, that experience. If it doesn’t have something you want but a competitor does, go to the competitor.

“If I like Apple’s user interface, then I’ll use that; if I want to try something different then I would like that option.”

You do have that option. Android, WebOS, and more.
