No voice dialing for me.

a) Voice dialing never works reliably especially since many people have nicknames and they are similar, sometimes understandingly over the capacity of software.

b) Homonyms. Stop being so English. We all speak it, but a heck of a chunk of our contacts is in native languages. Can't be helped, it's his/her darned name. My last phone had it so bad I actually learned to speak N80. The phone installed voice software on me.

c) I don't know what YOU drive, but the noise in my car makes voice dialing less than optimal. Add music and it's downright dead.

d) Typing a couple of letters ain't that hard. With time, you start to know what to type to bring up what you want real fast, like 2-3 unique letters. E.g., with "Ben" and "Benny" and "Benjamin", typing "nj" pulls up what you need. "nn" also does. "b" pulls all three, with Ben on top.

e) I'd MUCH rather have voice announcing than recognition, e.g. I want to know if I should pull over and answer or ignore it. That really stings. I'd much rather have animated avatars in contacts (personalized video ringtones). Heck, I'd rather have a cookie.

f) Please, pull over. It's not more important that someone's life. Really. If it's life threatening, you should have it on speaker and auto-answer. Or get a secretary. I've never met a person that could actually phone and drive. I've met a lot that thought they could. I don't even answer when driving.
