Sorry for my ignorance, since I'm still stuck in WinMo duldrums, but what exactly are "Live Wallpapers?"

wallpapers that are constantly moving in the backround

Thanks, bro. Had to check it out, so I went to youtube. Really cool. They talked about it draining the battery a little faster than picture wallpapers, so not sure I'd use that very often, although if they made it customizable to create your own, that'd be sick.

Had to share this because it's one of the reasons that I'm not only moving to Android, but also to a phone without a physical QWERTY

The EVO will have this capability as well, so I'm excited to be able to use the function. I'm just wondering if it works with bluetooth and/or how accurate it is using bluetooth.

Do you have to press the mic button on the phone like it showed in the video I posted or can I just press the voice dial button on my bluetooth, state "text Dad" and it'll automatically format set the phone for voice-to-text?

Basically, I'm hoping that it can work like this (all by bluetooth):

Sorry drex not happening yet, when you hit the Bluetooth bottom on your headset and say "text p-slim" that will bring up the text message chat but it will not automatically enable voice to text, you will be required to hit the mic icon.

I see. Well, at least it's close enough. I won't have to go looking through my directory, hit "p-slim text message" and then hit the mic. Just means I have to get used to exactly where the virtual button is, so that I can hit that without having to look down on the phone.

I know a bunch of people that have already gotten a ticket for using a handset while driving and it's not worth the $150+ fine (in Cali)...LOL.

Wow, I didn't know Android had that speech to text capability. Holy hell that seems very accurate. I HATE texting while driving, and that should make it so much easier.
