Bluetooth Voice Dialing
I just got my Eris on Saturday and have since discovered that there is no Bluetooth voice dialing.

Good timing for your response. I have a general ball park answer for you at this time. I apologize if this does not narrow it down as much as we would have liked it to. If you're like me, you probably wanted to know YESTERDAY! 🤣

Hmm...the first quarter is almost over. I wonder when they're planning to release this? I have read about bugs that people have experienced when manually upgrading to the newest version, so I'd like to wait. It would be nice to know what will be fixed with the new version.
