The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission Report is out. PDF is free, but...

Three things Google Voice for BlackBerry needs

1) Access to my Google Voice address book
2) Access to my voicemail box
3) The ability to compose (not reply to) a text message.

[Update] Google Voice gave me the ability to write an SMS from scratch, but I need to do it from my address book. I can still only see voicemails that are in my Inbox (not archived messages), and I can't directly access my GVoice address book inside of Google Voice, though I can if I use Google Sync. Again, I still need to use my BlackBerry's address book, since the app still doesn't touch it.
