Re: Limitations? As I read in a thread on the GV help boards from an official google employee, it's not really porting the number over rather than having unanswered/busy/unavailable/etc calls forwarded directly to GV than the provider's own voicemail service.
My guess is if you decide to sign up initially with just your mobile number and if your provider is listed in their supported list, the voicemail number tied to your cellphone will be forwarded to one of google's generic access numbers (ie: 1-777-222-5333 or something akin to that) and then go from there. Downside being is if your mobile phone account is somehow shut off, your GV service goes with it unless you get a separate GV specific number as well at that time.
As far as why the features are limited I dunno, but I am going to half assume it is technical limitations with relying on your mobile number as the main GV number.
