My company is going all VoIP in 2008; among other things, voicemails
will be sent to the user's email.
Those with Blackberries will see, via the standard email interface, that
a voicemail has arrived--eliminating the step of checking for voicemail
every now and then. Said Blackberry users will then be able to listen
to the voicemail straight from email. The BB will play the .wav file
directly. No need to dial up the voicemail system.
The voicemail system will remain with its standard features, of course;
the emailing of voicemails and the Blackberry functionality are add-ons.
It ain't rocket science, folks.
