I was really excited by the idea of Google Voice, and since I have received my inivite I have been using it pretty regularly, including international long distance calls to family.  I was really kind of bummed out when the google voice app got rejected.  In fact I even jailbroke my phone to get the non google produced app.

Then I see phones like this and it makes it me start to wonder.

Suddenly I cannot launch the aim app. I get this error: “the application AIM cannot be opened”. So far restarting
the phone has not helped.

UPDATE:  Now that I think about it I don’t believe it is vibrating as strong as it used to.

UPDATE2:  I made a post to the Apple support forums saying that I fixed the issue by giving the phone a whack, but they deleted the post claiming it was bad advice.  I can see their point.
