I think you could do everything but properly delete the voice mail. But it 
was really more of an amusing thought than an actual RFP. ;-)

Sure. Or, if it was a popular app, maybe it would only work if you called 
(say) another iPhone or something. A distinguishing feature: a RIM phone 
calling a RIM phone knows how the voicemail works, etc. There's probably 
only a handful of popular VMs you'd need to deal with, assuming the carriers 
went along with it and didn't start making it difficult. With number 
portability, there's no good way to know, but maybe there would be some 
back-channel chatter between phones when you call an iPhone from another 
iPhone that tells the caller what kind of voicemail the receiver uses, so it 
works after the first time you get through to the live person or something.
