It doesn’t seem to matter whether you’re a casual consumer, hardcore tech freak or even my personal God Maddox - everyone has an opinion on the iPhone. And after sorting through all 3,431 complaints/praises you’ll find that very few people have any beef with the Visual Voicemail feature. So it’s nice to know you can get the same damn thing using CallWave’s latest widget on your Mac. Sweet. Here’s a nice email that slipped through my spam filter earlier today:

We are the developers of the CallWave Text Messaging widget you use today. Now we’ve got another amazing widget we think you’ll want to try - the Visual Voicemail widget. We call it that because it lets you see and hear your mobile phone voicemail messages on your Mac - like the feature on the new iPhone. Best of all, it works with your existing mobile phone! And it’s free. No wonder we’re featured in the Top 50 on Apple’s Widget Gallery.

I own a Moto RAZR with Verizon and have already deliberately missed about three phone calls just to see how well this thing works. Once you get everything initially set it’s just a matter of punching in a string of confirmation numbers and then you’re all done. My only complaint so far is that CallWave changes your default voice greeting to some weird robotic crap, which prompted my second message to sound something like “What the hell is this? Call me back bye … freak.”
