Google Voice SMS App.

I'm sure I'm just beating around the bush right now, but is there a Google Voice SMS app that works!? The actual GV app is just horrendous, and the only thing keeping me from switching to that as my main number is the SMS.

Does GO SMS, Handcent, or anything else provide support or have extensions for this to work? Anything from the community in order for this to work???

Yeah I played around with it and its better, but the UI still sucks. It needs to be presented better. I also get stuck in a BACK circle, where only hitting the BACK button just reloads the same thread. Also, just the most vanilla look to it I have ever seen. How come Google just can't take the normal messaging app and make a version of it for Voice or, better yet, have it work with Voice via update/extension...
 
I would fully switch to Google Voice if it wasn't for their craptastic SMS service. I'd even pay for the Google Voice account if there was a better interface for it.

I currently have Vonage for my home phone, it forwards to my Google Voice, which in turns forwards to my Optimus V. So I have a home phone number, a number to text me and a number to cell call me. Although I just normally tell everyone to just call my home phone since it forwards to the cell anyway.
