t, for what it's worth, it's really worth upgrading to a 4th gen iTouch -- I did, and the Retina display screen alone is worth it!!! Plus it has more features, better battery life, and all that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm planning to "upgrade" my phone to an iPhone in December, so I was hoping to keep the Touch working for that long. Everything that the instructions warn you to be careful and not break, I would break. Fiddly bits are not my strong suit.
That service is a lot more reasonably priced than I expected, le nubian, thanks!

I have what is probably a very stupid question. If I'm syncing my iPhone with iPhoto *and* keeping the phone's camera roll (not deleting the photos that have been imported), am I storing those pics on the phone twice? Or is it smart enough to know not to reimport its own photos?

Query: Anyone use Google Voice?
I am thinking about it, for my freelance business, but although I'm doing research, I'd like to get some info from people who have used it, loved it, hated it, whether it's a waste of time, awesome, whatever.

I love Google Voice. I give out its number as my cell number and have it forward to my cell. That way I can also get texts & messages on my 'puter.
Also, I often work at home these days. During those days, I'll forward the GV number to my home phone. Lots of my cow-orkers are in other states, so I use its FREE calling feature to make long distance calls. I rarely notice any latency.
Also, also, calls to Canada are also free. What with the Canadian FAQWife, this has saved us lotsa Loonies.

Don't you need to have an invite? Does anyone have one? How does that work? I'd love to be able to reply to texts and messages via computer, as I imagine I'd be using the cell for a lot of set-up phone conferencing, and this might be a way to track work-related calls for tax-write offs for my phone bill.
(Note to self: Can I do that? Claim work-related calls on a phone also used for personal? I will research, but if anyone knows off the top of their head, lemme know. I am trying to think of all the angles and appropo/efficient actions before I go live.)

You can as long as the phone # is used more than 50% of the time for business-related communications.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pretty sure they opened GV up to everyone a few months back. I think. I remember clicking on "sign up" and then never actually doing anything with it.
And yes, you can claim only the calls that are business-related, but it'll be WAY easier to keep a separate number. You don't want to be keeping highlighted copies of all your cell bills for years just in case the IRS asks. Legal but not efficient.

I'll probably have to do that for the first year or two, amych, until I could justify the expense of a second number.
Uh...we use T-Mobile (soon to be AT&Terrible). Anyone know if you CAN have a second phone number that directs to the same PHONE? Or would I have to get a second phone altogether?
