I switched also, but am having issues with the Google Voice app, won't always play audio so I have to go to Gmail to listen to them and apparently this is a known issue.

Get Google Voice, use it with your own # for voicemails.
As far as B of A, the web site works fine, which is basically the app anyway (the app kinda sucks cause it's their portal copied with barely any new functionality).
Solved!

You have to wipe your phone, but that's not as bad as it sounds, because you just do a Nandroid backup of your 1.5 install and, if you want to go back, you just restore and BAM, all back!
Camera and Video work on Fresh and Damage.
Yes, you can download 1.6+ apps on Fresh (and I assume Damage). I got everything including protected apps (Google Goggles, Earth).
Only thing I can't get working is Earth, probably because it's made for the Nexus One only (video acceleration) for now.
Try it! If you're already rooted, you have nothing to lose if you do a backup of your 1.5 install.
Therein lies "the rub". Sprint has committed to supporting x set of apps, and if one doesn't work, they're not ready to update, etc. Any questions?
You cant just get GV, you need an invite.

The other problem with GV is that you have to use your minutes to call your VM.
Mbell - thanks for sharing the info about the potential release date.

Not if you have your google number as 1 of your favorites numbers or what ever is called in Sprint...
That doesn't make any sense. If you have the $99 unlimited (emphasis on unlimited) plan, why would you need a pick 3 option? I don't have the pick 3 option and haven't tried to get it yet, but if they used that excuse, it is a bunch of crock.

1. The invite usually doesn't take long to get.
2. You don't have to use your minutes, it emails you your voicemail as an MP3 with transcription to your gmail account.
(I'm just talking about GV with your own #, not full GV)

Will give that a shot (again).
I'm on the $69 plan. Limited to 450 minutes.

True, depending on which version of GV you are using (as you stated).
LOLOL....and THAT my friend is why it's free for the $99 Unlimited Plan which has no restriction on minutes regardless.
Meh, Sprint gets me every month with this Everything 450 plan of mine. I never go anywhere near 450 anytime and hardly talk on my phone at all. I would be better off with just a standard talk and add on $15 unlimited data. Sprint Nav I use occasionally but could get used to google maps really quick if it meant a lower bill.
But it could be worse...I could be paying more money for less with anyone else like Verizon, ATT, etc.

1. I waited for two months and still nothing, broke down and bought one on Ebay.
2. The transcripts are not always accurate, in fact I have had a few that were way off. And if there is any cussing (even mild) in your voice-mail you may not get a transcript at all.
There is still the option to listen to it in Gmail however.

Not sure why anyone is surprised. The announcement Sprint made through Twitter was for Q2 of this year - which does not even start until April 1.
