Your second question I can help with. Look in the Guide in my sig, or search this thread or Google for MS Voice Command. Install the cab and ignore if it tells you it didnt install. Soft reset and look in START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL and you should now see Voice Command. Open the program to configure the settings to your taste.
In the same place - START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL go into "Buttons" where you can now set the long press of the send key to activate Voice Command.
...hope that helps some.

Thanks for the tip on the voice command. It worked.
I have the same problem with using GPS on road trips. I have a car charger, but even though it is plugged into the car charger the phone still goes dead if I use the GPS for any length of time. I have a vent phone holder and the AC is blowing right on it. It is cool to the touch, but it still goes dead after about 2 or 3 hours. I have a handfree bluetooth device in my car so usually I'm plugged into Bluetooth as well. I guess it draws more power than the car charger can send it?
