Often I have wished my texts would show up on my computer screen. Texty does just that.

I've been using it for a few weeks and it's totally awesome. It's threaded, syncs with my phone, and is essentially instantaneous. Honestly one of the few killer apps for Android.

Am I missing something? Why not just use Google Voice?

Exchange Server 2010 supports syncing SMS and sending SMS via your phone in Outlook. To send it goes Outlook > Exchange Server > Phone > Carrier > Recipient. However it is only supported in Windows Mobile 6.x. A little annoying that this isn't supported in Windows Phone 7. This is functionality that I have long desired!

Because everybody I know has my real phone number.

Great app!

However, it would be nice if it could use a different google account from the one that I am logged into in chrome. (my phone has its own google account)

If that is indeed the only thing stopping you from using it, you can port your existing number to Google Voice.
