So I just got my BB Curve two weeks ago and I've tried the Voice Dialing and I speak GOOD clear English peeps and I'm just not impressed. I LOVE the phone but this is the one thing that does not work for me. It's fine on the numbers but I wish the name recognition was better
I like the voice dialing. Rarely do I have a problem with the BB not recognizing my commands. And with all the talking I do while driving, not having to pick up the phone and dial is such a convenience for me.
Love it! I use it all the time. You might want to check and make sure your voive is coming across clearly on other calls. Perhaps there is something wrong with your microphone. I have never had it not recognize what I have said.

I deleted this option from my Berry. I have no use for it, since I rarely use my device as a phone in the first place, and pushing one button to call any of my hotlist of contacts is way easier for me.

I only use it on the rare occasion that I am using my Bluetooh headset, but even in those few times, I am iffy on it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It has more or less become something I only use when I am driving, Bluetooth on, phone in the holster on my belt and I can't easily get it out because the seat belt is blocking it or something.
Not sure why, but it was totally useless for me when I had the 8300 - no matter how I tweaked the options, it never recognized anything. On my 8330, it's totally different and works every time - although sometimes a little slow.
I'm just not in the habit of using it since dialing from the phone screen is just as easy or even easier.
i deleted it and i never even tried it
voice dialing was fun to play with when it first came out, i just dont think its effective
usually i dial with the speed dial keys (holding the M button calls mom for example) or with my call log...
I Love it. I also use goog 411 with my phone (also a voice command). I am scared that I am becoming to lazy to dial. What else will I be too lazy to do soon.
i have a southern accent too, and it worked for me, and nothing ever recognized anything i ever say. the voice prompts never work for me. but i deleted it anyway, i dont use it.
