Swisscom secured the rights to carry the iPhone in the land of watches, cheese and banks. It's the first-gen version which many of you already own, and not the rumored 3G version with GPS, mobile TV and video conferencing.

Similarly to SingTel's or Vodafone's announcement, Swisscom isn't saying anything but “we got the iPhone.” You can register to be notified when they start selling the device and that's about it. I would expect them to start selling the iPhone sooner rather than later. After 3G iPhone is officially out and hacked, I doubt many people will still crave for the old one…

It's cool to have a single number to ring all your phones, but if you're a savvy user, you also want you voicemail converted to text. Guess that's why voicemail-to-text and visual voicemail services provider, PhoneTag (former Simulscribe), decided to collaborate with the Google-owned service.

Prior to this integration, consumers who wanted to experience unified communication had to select between PhoneTag, which automatically transcribes and delivers voice messages as text and Google's GrandCentral service, which rings all phones at once. GrandCentral does not offer voicemail-to-text to its user base, nor does it deliver a .wav file of the original voice message. Now consumers can have all their numbers ring at the same time and, if the call goes unanswered, be able to read their voicemail through PhoneTag.

What's else to tell. By combining PhoneTag with GrandCentral, a killer app is born. You'll still be able to select a single number for all your phones, while at the same time, being able to read your voicemail!

Full release is available on PRNewswire.

Don't know have you noticed the HTC Diamond's virtual keyboard in one of the device demos, but I find it looks quite appealing. As a matter of fact, because of the multiple typing modes, I can even state it's better than the one Apple uses on the iPhone.

It has been hacked and now it's available for download. We haven't tested it, though, but people report it works fine despite the slow installation and Italian being the default language (that can be changed, of course).

What are you waiting for? Hop over to XDA Developers forums and download it from there!
