The SDK would support a Google Voice app at the same level as the Blackberry one does, but it wouldn't let you hijack the dialer and SMS like the Android one. So good marketing material for Google. :)

One of the big selling features of the Android SDK, for me, was the ability to completely replace any aspect of the system including the dialer, contacts, music, etc.

I hope so. I'd like to be proven wrong on that. I have a Pre for work -- it desperately needs good third party apps.

Anyone know what the status is of a Google Voice client for the S60 platform?
It seems far less restricted than most of the other smartphones, except perhaps Android. It even comes out of the box with a SIP client, and you can toggle a setting that uses SIP preferentially instead of making regular cell calls, if you want.
If Nokia is willing to develop and include a SIP client, which I can only presume the cell carriers wouldn't be thrilled with, they don't seem like the types to block Google Voice.
They can't. They don't offer a Google Voice client either. The SDK they have released (that doesn't let you publish apps yet) doesn't appear to be capable of it either. Good marketing material for RIM perhaps.
