Hot damn, speaker-independent voice dialing on a T-Mo phone! Cingular and
Verizon Moto handsets use VoiceSignal software, and I'm hoping this one does
too. The VoiceSignal software on my Samsung phones on Sprint was very cool...
Now if it was a Samsung with speaker-independent voice dialing it'd be
perfect, but if the RF performance on this phone is decent I might just have
to make it my next phone, in spite of my extreme distaste for GOODBYEMOTO
phones. :)

I'm willing to pay the Motorola premium if the phone's RF reception is
better than my current Motorola phone, a V188. My CDMA StarTAC 7760, in
terms of fit-and-finish, was junk, but it held a signal better than anything
else in the CDMA world back then. My V188 has... issues. Major issues. And I
found out from a friend who is also a T-Mo customer that the V180 had issues
too (software bugs, primarily).

$299.99 and No EDGE? No megapixel camera? Motorola keeps repacking the
same software and O/S in new casings and jacking up prices. Im sure it
will sell really well.

| I think the V-188 is a good solid basic phone. A real work horse.

Well, if T-Mo would come out with a Samsung that has VoiceSignal
speaker-independent voice dialing like the PEBL, I'd buy it in about two
seconds. I loved my Sprint Samsung phones, and they had the VS software.
That wasn't the only reason I loved the phones, but it was the biggest.
Yes, VoiceSignal *is* that important to me. I don't want to take my eyes off
the road to dial, and I don't want to be limited to twenty voice dial
entries which, on my GSM Motorola V188, must be stored on the phone, *not*
the SIM or you can't even use the lousy voice dial features the phone *has.*
And yes, I'll pay $300 for an overpriced phone made by a company that I
think sucks if I have to, to get VS. (Although I'd prefer not to.)
WRT EDGE, I don't care if the phone has it or not. Right now, I don't have
the money to pay for data services anyhow.

And in its defense, my wife's works just fine. But I'm now on my second
warranty replacement. The first two had problems with static in the same
places my wife's phone just worked.

I have a Sam. It's the only one I can see the display to dial in
sunlight without using reading glasses. It has nice big numbers and I
like that. I could care less about all the other stuff except it would
be nice to have a decent speakerphone.
