have never had any luck with voice recognition on any device. always put it down to a Scottish accentplaying around today and amazed to find the phone understands my accent with no problem at all. asked it to phone the wife it asked which number mobile or home i said mobile and it phoned. asked it to play music it asked which one i said santana it asked which song i said smooth and it played. asked it to send my wife an email it asked for subject and then it asked what i wanted to say and then sent it. and the voice is quite good also. i could get used to this.
