It should be on the bottom, first button to the left of the space bar. Just long press it and it will come up.

HAHAH!! omg.. I'm such a rookie.. haha thanks. I saw the mic and hit it but didnt know why it had the damn key board only..

do you know if there is a better voice dialer. I hit the mic on that but it dosnt auto dial. ex> I have momma with only one number.. I hit it and say momma and it bring up a list of momma and other F'ed up spellings for it.. then I have to hit the right one.. then I have to hit the number to call. Shouldn't there be just one thing to hit and say "call @#$@" and it connects? OR do I need a market app for that.

Lol i had same issue when I first tried to use the mic with the keyboard, no worries.

As for the voicedial try this. Hold down the capacitive search button on your phone on the bottom right. A pop up will appear and choose voice search as default. Then whenever you hold the search button down it will pop up and just say, dial (name you have for contact) it should dial automatically. I hope that is what you were asking for. Let me know if it works.

I tried that but it just sits there with its sound graph and spinning circle thinking... it looks like it should work there but doesnt.. the funny thing though is if you open up the voice dialer in apps that will work. I also tried that voice search and it hangs also..

I miss holding down the big button on the iphone.. much more easy
