    Just set up google voice and linked it to my new Android OS phone's number.

    I don't have the Google Voice app install on it yet, though, holding off till I update the OS to 2.2 since I hear it can break some installed stuff. Anyway, is there a setting anywhere on google's site for google voice to reject/block calls with hidden/blocked/unavailable numbers automatically? I think it's called "anonymous call rejection." I only see an option to screen the calls.

    Also is there a way to get google voice voicemails sent to my main voicemail box? Now I'm having to log in to gmail and click a download link to access them. Since it's ringing my normal cell number shouldn't it just be going to my cell voicemail automtically?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    (Unrelated: but I bought this phone like an hour before the Pre 2 and webOS 2.0 were announced, which is what I had been waiting for to get a new phone, - I still love this phone though)

    Who said the Google Voice App will break something? I've never had that happen, and that's across 3 Android phones with multiple third party Android flavors. Google Voice integration with 2.1+ is really nice.
