Lunch break Google Voice experimentation didn't work out all that well. I can call out via GV, but setting up voicemail fails due to the T-Mobile limitations on conditional call forwarding for prepaid plans. My understanding from some googling is t

Tony, I can confirm that this is how GV has always worked for me as well. All my calls go out on my Google Voice number and appear to the people I'm calling as such. GV, the way I've understood it, never uses your data connection for the actual phone

Yeah, you make good points on the keyboard thing -- perhaps it isn't worth the trouble when the empeg's fuzzy T9 input is so fast to begin with. All of my non-work development projects stalled over the winter, including my RPi project. I did make s

I paired the phone with my car's bluetooth this morning, and was sad to see that an old annoyance from my previous phone persists. This might be a CyanogenMod thing, but when I switch to the bluetooth source in my car, my phone starts playing sounds

Right you are! How is your Raspberry Pi project coming along? I played around with including the system keyboard a bit yesterday and am not really sure how it can be done reliably. As we know, some keyboards (Swype/SwiftKey) are able to send complet

I was just confused because it seemed like the plans with minute allotments didn't have any information about data. But because I'd be BYOD customer with TMobile, it sounds like that wouldn't apply to me anyway...

Yes but how many tracks can 16meg address? Is it linear, so 18,000 track on 12meg equates to 24,000 tracks on 16meg? How many have people managed to get on their machines?
