I agree with all the gushing EXCEPT FOR VOICE DIALING. 1. Did not interface with Bluetooth on my 8830; 2. Did not interface with keyboard lock (allowing me to dial even though keyboard is locked – required unlocking; 3. Impossible to use to dial while driving. (Does not call options back to you, so you must look at the screen. And the screen font is small and can’t be resized.)

Unfortunately for me, I use the native voicedialing program a lot and, although not perfect, it’s much better than vlingos (for the above reasons). Until vlingo solves these problems – or allows me to continue with my native voicedialing program, it is not useable for me.

I’ve been using Vlingo for about half a day on a BB 8330 and the transcription is quite impressive. The key words (i.e. send message, subject, search, etc.) are important for parsing. I have noticed that it is learning as I correct it. That’s pretty cool!

Well I’ve only had Vlingo for about half an hour, but I must say, it’s pretty impressive. One note – you CAN get puncuation… just say the character you want, such as “question mark”.

You can load programs to your blackberry memory card with a program called aerize. You will have to reinstall programs that you already use, though. I haven’t needed it on my vzw curve because it has so much more memory than my 8830 and Pearl.
