Its now out, drive replaced, and freshly formatted - now to start reloading the software.
In the meantime, I have ALOT of catching up to do as far as releases go. Can anyone give me a quick pointer or 2 on what the latest software to load is? My little bro got a Droid and was showing off his voice activated searching, which got me searching and I realized thats what TellMe does - so it will be in the next rom. What else is there?

Hope you're getting settled in! Good to have you back! I'm still on 28014, but soft resets are now more often, so I'll be trying 21887 soon, so take your time! Hopefully I'll love 21887 and it will be stable for at least a month!
I tried tellme on a rom a few months ago, omj I think, and was totally unimpressed. While I seem to remember it did do voice to text for messaging, there was key presses required, very much like bing, so you still had to look at the phone and press buttons. I actually do have the same complaint about when I was playing with the droid. You couldn't just leave it in your pocket and talk to it and have it talk to you, you had to look at the screen and press buttons! Totally a fatal flaw for the droid IMHO.
I like voicecommand because I leave my phone in my pocket or on the car seat and only have to activate voicecommand with a press of the button on the headset. It reads me my text messages and my email headers and I never have to look at the phone. I just wish it understood more commands. I'd like to dismiss a notification or turn off a reminder! It would be nice if you could just say "send text to jesse" and then dictate the text! voicecommand will let you run tellme, but then it didn't just let you dictate speech, you next had to press a soft button on the phone . If there's a way to avoid that, I'm all in! Really seems it's more of a voicecommand function or extension, hopefully it will be.
Can't really tell you what sys you want, I leave that to you! The newest thing I installed is the new google maps 4, but that's just an app! I trust you to cook up the good stuff!
