VM vs Visual VM is like VCR vs DVR. Once you have the latter, you never want to go back. Having messages downloaded to your phone, and being able to listen to them in any order, any time you want, is awesome. With vcr tape, to get to the middle of the movie, you have to fast forward until you are there. Regular VM, is much like that. Say you have 20 VMs in your box, and you want to listen to one in the middle of the pack. You need to call your VM box, then keep hitting buttons to skip a message until you arrive at the one you want. With visual VM, you just scroll to the one you want to hear, and hit play... much like a DVR.
