Google Voice for Android and BlackBerry announced

Google has announced Google Voice for mobile which brings voicemail transcriptions, the ability to call and text with your Voice number, and cheap international dialing to your mobile phone. With the Google Voice app for Android and Blackberry, you can use the app to make outgoing SMS messages and calls from your Google Voice number. What's more, this app improves the mobile experience of Google Voice in a number of ways.

The Google Voice app integrates seamlessly with your phone's native address book, making it even easier to call or text with your Voice number. Voicemail transcriptions are now available, and the app will highlight individual words during playback just like your favorite karaoke song. It also lets you take advantage of Google Voice's low-priced international call rates, starting at only $0.02/minute.

You can try Google Voice for mobile by going to m.google.com/voice on your BlackBerry or search for "Google Voice" on Android Market to download the app. Google team is working on ways to make this service available to iPhone users. If you don't have an Android-powered device or BlackBerry, you can still use many Google Voice features via the official mobile website at google.com/voice. Please note, in either case a Google Voice account is required.
