ok here's what i've found on my phone...
when you store the name as a voice make sure you put the phone to your ears and not speak right into the phone's mic, then the voice dialling using the bluetooth works perfectly fine, i think it is something to do with the voice recognition software that the phone uses.

i've encountered the same type of bug attaching ringer IDs to names in my phonebook. very, very inconvienient to not be able to access numbers using the external screen. is this the sort of problem that might be fixed with software updates or something?
