Newbie here so go easy.....Does the new phone have Voice dialing capabilities?

The reason Im asking it just got a new car and these new cars have Bluetooth to pair up with your cell phone. BUT, they must have voice capability to be used.

Any one heard or read farther into the system to find out.

Thanks
 
Not sure why you'd want that - every time someone has ever tried to show me their nifty voice dialing phone, it always ends up with them looking stupid trying to make their phone understand they want to 'call mom.... call... mom... call mom... CALL MOM... it worked the other day...'

Why, because every new car system that is building new apps and have Bluetooth pairing with your phone REQUIRES it for use, thats why. The new Ford system SYNC and the new GM system uses the ON STAR mic to interface. They use their own internal mics to interface with the phones bluetooth etc.

LOL - don't spend $2000 on the fancy phone integration car package and instead spend a hundred on a good bluetooth headset.

I guess I could be wrong and voice dialing could be working all of a sudden, but I doubt it.

They've been saying voice recognition was finally working since the mid 80s.

Well, i have a CARDO Q2 set up for my motorcycle helmet.. which has a bluetooth feature where you can answer, and call people while riding your bike.. and there is no way to call anyone w/o the voice dialing because you can't whip out your phone while riding..

And unfortunately you can't activate the voice dial w/ the bluetooth device.. which essentially makes the voice dial completely useless
