Voice Control question

In my quest to actually USE voice control with my MM...rather than to just play with it for the first couple of weeks...I keep running into the same issue I can't get past.

In "Phone"...command "Dial Name".

Please say the name: "Fred"

Would you like to dial Fred Home, Work or Mobile? "Mobile"

Would you like use Home or Work? Huh? What does this part mean??? Anyone? Anyone??

When you enter a new address one of the last questions is: do you want the new address stored under work or home. I separate them as private-Home or business-Work.

When you recall an address it has to look under Home or Work.

Does that help?

That would be the answer I suppose if I had verbally added the contacts...but I exported my entire address book via my Blackberry and was not asked if they were "Home or work" when they were exported.

Therefore, the voice asks me for Home or Work, and both answers are apparently wrong....

You'll probably have to pull up each contact individually as you use them, then assign it to Home or Work the first time. After that you should be good to go.
