GV Mobile was originally pulled from the App Store on July 27 and was added to Cydia as a jailbroken app rather quickly after that. According to what I can tell, the Cydia version of GV Mobile became available as a free download sometime on July 29.
Now for the interesting part, according to the Live Download Stats in Cydia, the app has seen 45,635 downloads as of the morning of August 1. That means, it has done almost 50,000 downloads in roughly three days time — pretty impressive numbers.
I realized Google Voice is a popular topic, but would not have guessed download numbers like that. Given that, it does make you wonder how many of these downloads would have been had this remained a paid app in the App Store.

I sell phones for a living. I really cant value iphones highly. They are absolutely amazing devices, they do soo much, and the irony is they are about the worst PHONE on the market. They are obviously doing well on the bells and whistles but in the function of making calls it is nothing but complaints.

Ps i have high hopes for a later iphone version to actually function as a phone up to par with the rest of the industry.

Keep waiting 3GS is just the same POS as the 3G is. I havent had so many broken calls since I had a 5 lb Mitsubishi cell phone.

Dropped calls are a symptom of ATTs lousy network. Not the phone.
