you can get the google voice app from cydia if you jailbreak your iphone. google put it on cydia and even updated the app about a month ago.
I got a iphone on at&t and its not under contract, i would so jump ship to verizon as long as i can port my phone number over. droids are decent but they dont even come close to the smoothness of the iphones OS. and apple has got to step it up for the new iphone cus competitors are closing in.

They're two completely different apps. Google submitted their app to Apple and it was rejected. No ones ever seen or used their app.
You're talking about GV Mobile. thats not an "official" Google made app. It was up on the app store for like a week and then pulled...so people did get a chance to buy it and if they did can still use it without jailbreaking

Apple: We’re Sticking With AT&T for the iPhone
Apple on Wednesday said it has no plans to discontinue AT&T’s exclusive rights to carry the iPhone in the United States.
Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook expressed confidence in AT&T as its exclusive U.S. partner, despite Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster’s suggestion that the No. 1 reason consumers resist buying an iPhone is because of AT&T.
"We believe they’re the best wireless provider in the U.S.," Cook said of AT&T during Apple’s quarter-two conference call. "They put the full force and weight of their company behind it. We’re very happy with the relationship we have and do not have a plan to change it."
Though the terms of Apple’s contract with AT&T remain a secret, many sources have said AT&T’s exclusivity over the iPhone expires in 2010. Excited by this rumor, many consumers have been discussing the possibility of the iPhone being available for the Verizon network. Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg last week speculated that a deal with Apple will be more likely when Verizon rolls out its 4G network next year.
However, Cook on Wednesday suggested it was unlikely for Apple to work with Verizon anytime soon. He explained Verizon’s network is on the CDMA standard was limited, and AT&T was a better choice because it utilizes the widely used GSM network.
"We chose from the beginning of the iPhone to focus on one phone for the whole world," Cook said. "CDMA doesn’t really have a life to it after a point in time."
This news will undoubtedly disappoint some Verizon customers who are itching for the iPhone but refuse to switch to AT&T.
"I would buy two iPhones in an instant if they were available on Verizon," commented reader "MikeE" in a recent Gadget Lab story. "I will never change to AT&T. I have been using Apple products since 1984 but the iPhone is missing."
