BlackBerry 8703e
8703e and voice commands
I am contemplating an 8703e and have a few questions...
1. Is the Microsoft voice software something that can be loaded to this phone so it can be used with voice commands for blue tooth? I have a blue tooth stereo in my truck and want total voice command control.
2. Does all incoming and outgoing email have to be via blackberry's email address or can you set it up for POP accounts?
3. How extensive is the PIM in regards to the amount of options that can be stored in the calendar and contact info and can it synchronize with desktop software like the Palm for updating on the laptop of dates, to-do's and contact info? Does it duplicate the info or actually match?
