vlingo has changed my life

With the disclaimer out of the way... Vlingo is a nice app. My one complaint though is the reprogramming of a button to use it. I, as most people, chose the right function key. The camera doesn't work well using the on screen button then for taking pictures.12-22-08 07:33 AMLike 0 - I too have a Verizon BB8530, but I can't get Vlingo to record. Once I push the convenience button, it automatically says it failed to record - immediately. I've tried loading and reloading it, but to no avail.
Any suggestions? I've read the thread and followed the prior posts, but no luck. Vlingo IS a great program. Quite frankly, those of you on Motorcycles are better off with this program.
I used it on my 8830, and I found that it didn't take a lot of concentration, and helped me avoid scribbling illegible notes with my pen as I "tried" to drive. My point; you're better off with Vlingo. We all speak as we drive - I don't see increased risk of accident at all.
As an avid bicyclist in my younger days, I sympathize with your concerns of being hit by the gas guzzlers... but I think Vlingo is a positive safety step.

- it messes up if you dont speak like a robot and ive only used the texting function but so far i am enjoying it. you have to turn the music down and it cuts into vital time listening to phil collins but i'd rather be alive and able to listen to phil collins than dead and in h3ll with phil collins in heaven so far away12-22-08 08:00 AMLike 0

I'm not saying vlingo is bad, I'm saying anything that takes a drivers concentration away from the road is bad. Yes, vlingo may help in that regard, but too many people do not think about what can happen in a split second of inattentiveness. Anyone that rides has been effected by the actions of inattentive drivers; either directly or indirectly, to one degree or another.12-22-08 04:17 PMLike 0 - I'm not saying vlingo is bad, I'm saying anything that takes a drivers concentration away from the road is bad.

Vlingo is at least a start. Text messaging in a car is in my opinion more dangerous than even that soccer mom driving the SUV talking on her phone.12-22-08 09:33 PMLike 0
