I have a question that I could not find the answer to in the 12, long pages. Maybe I missed it. If so, do let me know. Thanks.
Anyway, my question for the Contacts App is, is it even possible for it to work without the use of (data) network? If I update my contact in my Pre, it will immediately (or at a later time) update the Gmail contact list, doesn't it? Even if it doesn't update the Gmail list, the Pre automatically updates itself of any changes in Facebook, GMail, AIM etc etc, which also translate into data movement. It's probably not a problem for Sprint users, since everyone will be forced into buying their 'Pre Plan', but this also means that even if other carriers (in other countries) get their hands on the Pre, they will have to sell it together with a data plan, which is definitely more expensive.
So, my question is, can the Pre's Contact App function like a "dumn phone's" contact app, without all the bells and whistles of "Synergy"?

I was seriously considering using GoogleVoice as my "voicemail" (it will sms a transcription of the caller's message) until I found out that Sprint charges $.20 per call forward, even in the case of "no answer" call forward.
I now have to see if I can convince people to use my Google Voice number to accomplish the same thing. However, my cell number is "so out there" I think it will be an arduous task in getting people to switch to the G Number.
Why do I hate voicemail? For every 50 voicemails I get, 49 of them are "Hey, its me call me." .... I know its you, I can see your caller ID.
If visual voicemail was free then I can see some value. But there is no way I would pay extra to here people say "Its me......."
Totally agree with you. My stand is if someone needs to contact me urgently but was unable to reach me, he could just text me "Please call me when you see this sms. Urgent." Rather than to go into my voice mail, leave a message, wait for me to see the notification that I've got a voice mail, wait again for me to feel like calling my voice mail to check what's in it, listen to the machine's "You have _ new messages", press the number to listen, press another number to listen to it again because I didn't really get the 4th word he tried to say, press another number to proceed to my next new message..."
I guess that's what the Visual Voicemail is - to remove that. If you ask me, it's just so much easier to send a text to the person whom you're trying to contact so desperately.
