The Google Voice app will allow users to use their mobile phones to access their inbox, place calls and send SMS messages with their Google Voice number, and make low-rate international calls.

When sending SMS messages in this manner, users don't have to pay SMS charges levied by their mobile carriers because the SMS messages are sent by Google.

Looks like they beat Skype to the BB market, plus I love the ability for avoiding SMS fees when roaming international.
So let me get this straight. You can use GV on ur BB, and it will be on the date side? As you stated above, there are no sms charges intl. So does that mean you 'll be making phone calls on the data side too?? I think I need to read up on the some more. I just got my invite today and set it up, but dont know how I can utilize to the max just yet.
