and it is awful ou say call someone and the voice recognition calls someone else it doesnt even ask you to verify it just dials away

When I long press the magnifying glass and use voice I have the same problem. But when I used the voice dial widget...it seems to work fine.

Can you now voice dial from the bluetooth headset - without touching the phone? Hawaii, or at least Oahu, is hands free, meaning we aren't supposed to touch the phone at all.

That's the one thing I miss about my old winmo phone. Voice dialing and hearing my messages hands-free.

The stock voice dial app was probably my biggest disappointment when switching to Android from WinMo (used to MS Voice Command). I found Choice Dialer (now Choice Dialer+) in the market. It's worth every penny. It has a lot of cool features (send text to... create appointment next thursday at 2pm... etc.). It works far better than the stock voice dial app.

I could when I was running the leaked 2.2.

Call 866-449-8358 and tell them your voice dial issue...btw that HTC Technical Support...

The least they could do is add a prompt to ask if what you said is correct...that should be a no brainer fix...and a easy one at that...

By calling them they can test and create a fix for it....and get it to us in a reasonable amount of time.

Not so fast, I have 1000's of such documents, and can tell you that Documents to Go is very weak. It is no replacement for WinMo's best Office package, from SoftMaker. Docs to Go strips out all kinds of formatting from your docs. For instance, if you have a row in Excel sized short and filled with black, to make a dividing line, like on an invoice, it strips out the filled in black. Basically all formatting beyond the most basic. And unlike SoftMaker's package which has pretty much all the functions of the desktop version of Office, it has very few functions. Probably even less than the included Office software in WinMo. It is a real weak spot, if you have to generate new files, or worse if you have to open, edit, and return existing ones.
