The app store already existed for Blackberries at the time.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with voicemail.

The iPhone was the first phone with visual voicemail.

Sorry to be completely lost but what is "visual voicemail"? This is an odd term - almost as daft as "visual BASIC"

Instead of calling a number and listening to messages one by one you have an inbox and can play/delete them using a UI.

Well I've never had that on Android here in the UK. I still have to ring my EE voicemail and listen to messages one by one. Thanks for the info.
