The days of waiting for an invite to the coveted land of Google Voice are now over! This VOIP service offered by Google is now available to everyone. To take advantage of everything Google Voice has to offer, visit voice.goole.com, create an account and download the Blackberry app at m.google.com/voice from your Blackberry.
Although Google Voice for BlackBerry isn’t as comprehensive as I’d like it to be, it’ll definitely suffice. Enjoy!

As you read the title of this post you may be thinking, “But, isn’t there already a Google Voice client for the BlackBerry”, and, you would be correct. Google released both Google Voice for BlackBerry and Android just over a month ago.
The Google Voice for BlackBerry application works and does what it is supposed to do, however, there are no bells and whistles, and, judging by the polish that most other Google Apps for BlackBerry have, one could reasonably assume that Google purposely made the official Google Voice for BlackBerry app as drab as humanly possible while still maintaining what little functionality they did include.

According to the official Google Voice Twitter account, Google Voice for BlackBerry and Android devices will be available this morning, July 15th. There was no word on when apps for the Palm Pre and iPhone would be available.
We have yet to see either app in action, however according to other reports the one for Android is going to be more full featured as compared to the BlackBerry version. That said, both apps will allow the user to make as well as receive calls from their Google Voice number as opposed to their cell number. Additionally, users on either Android or the BlackBerry will also be able to send and receive text messages, check voicemail and view their call history.
Android users will be able to download Google Voice from the Android Market. Google Voice for BlackBerry will be available via Google’s website as it will not be listed on App World.
