I have used the service. It uses a voice-recognition interface.
It feels a bit strange to actually be speaking to a computer (especially
when it understands, which it does remarkably well). I feel awkward having
a conversation with a machine. You've gotta try it though.
I can't give you a long-term analysis of the service at this time. I really
don't have much need to listen to e-mail over the phone. If I do in the
future, though, I plan to use this service.
Another service you should try is:

They give you 30 minutes a month (every month!) of free phone time. You
can't lose with this one. There are no ads. They are hoping you'll want to
use the service more than the initial 30 minutes. For this you pay about
$.10/minute. I've used this one quite a bit. It's very powerful.
