PhoneFusion announced yesterday that their Fusion Voicemail + is coming to the Android platform that will allow users to view their voicemails and listen to them in any order they choose.  This was a big selling point of the original iPhone and now it is coming to the Android platform.

Currently, PhoneFusion offers this software for free to Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Linux, Palm and Symbian phones via their downloaded application.  PhoneFusion announced the addition of the Android to their compatible platforms at the Under the Radar: Mobility event.  The company says the application will be available before the end of this year.

Fused voicemails?

PhoneFusion redirects your voicemail calls to its hosted service and alerts your phone.  The service does not limit users to just cell phone voicemail, it allows home, office, VOIP and any other voicemail to be redirected to the service.  This means no matter where you are, your voicemails can find you.

Just like the iPhone, you just tap the voicemail you want to hear and it plays.  While not as integrated as the iPhone system, PhoneFusion looks nice and should be a help to users who seek this feature.

Not for me?

Personally, I find PhoneTag (formerly SimulScribe) much more usable as the voicemail is transcribed and emailed or SMS’ed to me.  I can read much faster than the caller can talk, so I save time and don’t have to listen to pregnant pauses and “um’s” and, you get the idea.  However, that is a paid service and the PhoneFusion is not.
