voicemail revolution ?

Voicemail has remained fairly static and unchanged. Now, however, there is possible improvement. Hullomail, a blackberry app, has all voicemail messages stored by the user. Then, "after signing up with HulloMail, the user configures their number (either on the handset or through their carrier, depending on both) to forward to HulloMail whenever a call goes unanswered. After a caller records their voice message, HulloMail encodes it into an MP3, tucks it into an e-mail, and sends it off to the user’s e-mail inbox." This also makes sharing a voicemail with friends so much less onerous--all one needs to do is hit "forward."

Also, Hullomail plucks only your voicemails from your inbox, not all the superflous excess. Furthermore, it has "automatic contact sync (both Google Contacts and those locally stored on your BlackBerry), one-click callback, and greeting customization to name some of it."

"Both the HulloMail service and application are free of charge – the company plans to make money with premium services at a later date. The app, compatible with the BlackBerry Tour, 8900, and Bold, should be available shortly at http://www.hullomail.com/, and will roll out onto the BlackBerry App World shortly thereafter."
