Hey heavyt.

I'm now using this method, going to the google.com/voice/m site in Tear and setting the zoom in and out option at .8 instead of .1.

This will give you one minute notifications for all your emails, so if you have your SMS messages forwarded, you'll get this right away.

You also won't get notifications sending a message like DC tends to do at times.

I really like this setup so maybe you might like it as well.
