That's the same as HTC's TouchFlo - voicemail - do you mean an indicator for missed calls or a dial up shortcut to your voicemail? It has the former - just not the latter.
I'm talking about an indicator (like exists in the normal notification tray) that there are voicemails. It is possible there are no missed calls to display but voicemails waiting. For example, if I'm doing an email transfer while not in a 3G area, phone calls go straight to VM. I'll get a VM notification without the phone ever ringing. If a program like S2U2 can get this one right, why can't Mobile Shell??

2) I haven't been able to get PocketInformant 8 to be recognized by MobileShell
It recognises it as a stand alone application - do you mean that it doesn't use PI8 as the default app for Calendar/Contacts etc?
Correct. At least in the earlier version of Mobile Shell, alternate PIM programs could be loaded into the organizer screen as alternates, and the Now screen could map to the altnerate PIM instead of using the built-in.

6) Still no convenient way to back-up settings (should be an export/import settings option like other developers)
Agreed! Perhaps they are just wanting you to get SPB Backup! ;-)
I have SpbBackup (although I prefer to use Sprite). But being able to backup the whole device doesn't help for us chronic ROM-flashers who find that reinstalling apps is cleaner than restoring from a backup set.
