• To clarify -
  
  The v1 headset provides voice command capabilities IN ADDITION to those already in your phone. I have a Blackberry 8820 and its built-in voice commands provides the capability to select a phone number by name or say a number to be dialed. I can access these functions by saying "phone command" which activates the Blackberry voice command functions.
  
  In addition I have 10 presets whose voice prompts are hard coded to the speed dial numbers 1 through 10 on the phone. The presets are 1 for voicemail, 2 for home, 3 for office, etc. So if I say "call home" it dials the number I have set for speed dial 2 on my phone. It is a little clunky, but can be fixed.
  
  For me most of the voice commands are gimmicky but reasonably useful. The one I like best is "check battery" which lets me monitor the battery life of the headset.
  
  My last headset was a JB2. The BlueAnt v1 fits me better and seems to have the sound quality and noise filtering abilities as that headset. In reply to: "Talk to the (Bluetooth) headset"
