Vcast was just another controlling moment in Verizon's history. The trouble with Verizon controlling how the UI works, is that they're not very good at it. I find using iPod on the phone to be as good as it was on older iPods, just with no click wheel.

I've been using ribbit.com for my voicemail for the last year-ish. It has a bunch of features, but the one I really use it for is the voicemail to text transcription. After a caller leaves a message I get an SMS and/or an email with the message transcribed to text. I find it far easier to read my voicemails than to listen to someone who prattles on for a minute and a half. Plus, if the message is something that I can delegate to someone else to follow up on, I just forward the email (which also has a .wav attachment of the actual voicemail) directly from my phone.
My iPhone has the visual voicemail thing. I tried it once and then just left it unused.
