Whispers of Visual Voicemail coming to the BlackBerry Bold have been lingering for a few weeks now, and now things are about as concrete as they come.
Doin’ what they do with their ninja leak squad, BGR has managed to finagle a set of shots detailing the new Visual Voicemail functionality from head to toe. It all seems fairly simple – tapping into any voicemail in the list brings up playback control, while highlighting one and pressing the softkey allows for callback and message management (We’re wondering what that “Forward” option does). AT&T’s Visual Voicemail infrastructure is already in place – now it’s up to RIM and AT&T to get OS 4.6.0.219 rolled out to the masses.
I am so hyped up about this phone. My current model’s getting up there in age so I’m looking to the next big thing to shove apps into and ridecharge taxis from and feel smug about how emails I send come with “sent from my blackberry” at the end. :P The visual voicemail is pretty sweet, too, ‘cuz I hate calling the inbox number while I’m waiting for the cab to arrive. It makes me look like a tool, IMO.
