Two users have now confirmed that the Voice Dialer app that originally shipped as stock on the Rogers HTC Dream and Magic appears to be GONE after the update.
This means you will NOT be able to use the phone hands free in the car. Even though the Voice Dialer was not perfect, it still allowed for using the voice search by holding down the Call key to launch the voice dialer and saying "Call XXXX". That function is now GONE.
It is illegal to use your phone in your car while driving if you can not use it hands free.
A user reports that the Top Voice Control app from the market does still work. I am currently using this app without having the update yet, and I like it (allows for autoconfirmation when only one result is returned). I use it with my Blue Tooth headset, however since this bluetooth functionality may have been specific to the Rogers ROM it might also be gone, we have yet to confirm.
Can anyone else please post their results trying to use TopVoiceControl with bluetooth after update?
To clarify re Voice Dialer, the icon is apparently gone, and holding down the Call button brings up the dial pad, NOT voice search!
This would mean that Voice Search is gone from the phone also?
