Voice Dial and Bluetooth

Just so everyone's aware, the APIs for messing with the bluetooth stack aren't in the current SDK.

We'll have to wait for a new version of the SDK (and thus a new point version of the Android OS) for any manipulation of the BT radio.

Do you mean that you can initiate voice dialing by pressing a button on your headset? This thread seems to suggest that doesn't work. This is important to me since I make a lot of calls while driving and don't want to be fumbling with the phone to make a call. Voice dialing works on my BB 8120, although it's far from perfect at understanding my voice in my noisy car.

I just want to chime in incase someone from Google is reading. I too can not get voice dialing to work on my car's Bluetooth or my Bluetooth headset. If I get caught messing with my phone to dial in my city while driving I risk getting a ticket. With my T-Mobile Shadow this was not a problem.

I bought the myTouch about a month ago. I was very disappointed to find that it does not actually have voice dial, and more disappointed that what it calls voice dial does not work from my Bluetooth device. My several years old T-Mobile MDA with Microsoft Voice Command was exceptional at voice dialing. Coupled with my Motorola T505 Bluetooth handsfree device in the car it was a very safe and well functioing system. I hope it is not too long for the Android phones to catch up to what I had been using for years.
