Plackard2.. I'm sorry but I wish people like you do their homework and use this "wonderful" site to its fullest before posting "lame & unecessary" questions. To answer your particular inquiry about the voice dialing, scroll to the very top, and hit the "Info" tab then find "Voice Dialing" on the right margin under SPECS 😉

Voice dialing is not intuitive on this device nor is it turned on by default.

You need to turn on Voice Command and I recommend that you assign it to the button on the left side that is by default assigned to record.

Unfortunately it doesn't work through either the included headset or via a bluetooth headset.

Once you configure it and asign it to the side button it works very well except for not working through a headset.

It will actually control most features of the phone.

You can say things like "Start Excel Mobile" and it will simply start it.

I mis-spoke about voice command not working through the included headset

- More accurately It can't be initiated through the included headset, but If you assign the side button to voice command and initiate voice command via the side button it will use the headset for both responding to you and the headset mic.

I stand by it doesn't work via a blue tooth headset (It seems to try) I've tried both the Jawbone and a plantronics 510.

AWESOME !!!

Finally a Windows Treo that does bluetooth voice Dialing.

I wasn't looking at the news but I'm sure the earth trembled and the sea's parted across the planet 😉

Seriously - The website says the Jawbone doens't support voice dialing during Palms testing- It worked fine with mine. I was able to both place and receive calls all with just the headset.
