Besides the horrible transcription (which there is a great site somewhere with funny botched transcriptions) was there lack of support for Google for your domain accounts. I use google services, but I’m not going to also going to have a second instance of my contacts in gmail to manage just for Google voice. From launch it should have been compatible with Google Apps accounts.
The one advantage GV has, and a feature I was really looking forward to, was SMS. Even though I have essentially consolidated down to one phone for everything (thanks headset and Bluetooth speakerphones) most of the time I would like to handle SMS like email, on the phone and on the web. I am looking forward to the time when there is a supported google voice app for the iPhone.
I’ve used PhoneTag on and off for the last few years and have been quite happy with there service, best transcription I’ve found yet. I’m not currently using it, but am looking at switch back. The one feature I would really like is a PhoneTag iPhone app. Much like there blackberry app, something that would list the voicemail and allow easy playback directly from the phone. Brad, do you happen to have the phonetag message play on your outgoing message? I’m wondering you have noticed a difference in the transcription quality with the notice on or off.

At the end of the day most enterprise clients will buy their end-user products as well (the office suite) but there will be those that do not, and this allows them to capture or keep the server side.
Reading this post raised tangential question, what impacts does this license have on Google Apps ability to sync through their Active Sync license with Snow Leopard which I asked about on my blog.
