Help Can the Incredible 2 call totally hands free with BT headset?

I recently got a Droid Incredible 2 and I am having a problem with voice dialing. I can activate voice dialing from a BT speaker but when I tell it what to call it comes up with a dialog window on the phone asking me if this is correct. If I push the "okay" button in the dialog window another dialog window asks if I want to use the phone or Skype. The same happens without a BT speaker. Is there a way to not have these dialog boxes? It really prevents me from using the phone in the car since I don't want to deal with these dialog boxes. Thanks for any help.

When I use the voice dialer on the phone I get the pop-up, but when I voice dial over the BT headset it just goes through unless it misidentifies the number or needs more info. For instance if I say to call someone that has more than one number but don't specify which one the phone will ask, but it is all hands-free. Regarding Skype Vs the phone you may have an option on the pop-up to make your choice the default so it will stop asking.

Thanks. I was using a real old speaker. After reading this I tried with a newer Aliph Icon and it worked fine. It read back the command and still brought up the Skype dialog but asked for a default as well as choosing one. Must be that old speaker. Thanks again everyone.
