"Enter Intersection"
"Next Track"

In all honesty, I rarely use voice command as I find it has a high error rate. IMO, its faster to manually enter commands more often than not. Even my pocket pc (winMo 6.5) does a better job at voice commands.

dial <name> home mobile
- calls someone's mobile home phone from the addressbook... still haven't found a way to just have numbers stored for mobile, etc without the characterization of office or home having to be set as well...

I also use "route information" to get info on how long the trip will last, etc...

Additionally, "cancel" is a frequent one when she just stops listening to me properly :-)...

is anyone else having issues with the "Dial Name" command?

i've tried "Dial Jane", "Dial Jane Home Mobile", "Dial Name" and the response always comes back with "Select Line Number" with a list of all my 7 saved contacts.

i've even saved the voice-tag for a few of the contacts and still no work. somebody please help..

I tried this once and it stopped me cold because I was moving. Are you saying you can enter a destination while driving using voice command? i was trying to change a destination when this happened to me.
