I've read one reference that the voice commands are not supported with a Bluetooth device, and I have a disabled customers who was wondering and seems to have seen the same symptom with a Blueant Bluetooth headset.

I will say this phone is very user friendly and fast to use. You can get to anything very quickly, and txt'ing is crazy fast with it's integrated QWERTY keyboard. The speakerphone and music player sounds quality is pretty good compared to some other phones I have heard. The GPS navigation is much better than the iPhone 1st gen and does not find where you are by triagulation, but does use true GPS signal. All in all, so far we are very pleased with our phones. It also supports BREW so who knows what this phone will be capable of in regards to being able to open word,excel,pdf docs etc. For all you get with it, it is a great deal also.

Extremely easy to switch on and off during a call, too (as well as a mute feature). It does have speakerphone, and from what little I’ve used it, it’s pretty good.

It is definatly my choice for a cell phone. It works great with itunes, music and movies as well so long as it is MPEG-4 format. I agree with rachel. I was going to purchase the iphone before i found this. edge network sucks, horribly slow. 3g isnt available in all areas of the country. even if it was, still wouldnt compare to the speed of this phone. voice app works great. my gf and i were wanting to go eat the other day but were kinds new to the big city and arent sure where anything is yet. I just simply said peperjaxs withing seconds all of them were listed and the exact directions right after that. with voice directed gps. couldnt ask for a better phone right now I have done constant research on this phone. spent hours working with it as well. tried out the rev-a network. simply put, its amazing. loading web pages in under 4 seconds, sprint TV, radio, and GPS run almost flawlessly. supports up to 8gb sd. comes with two batteries, case charge station and all computer cables.

The internet is ridiculously fast even when i have only 1 bar of service! The touch screen keyboard takes a while to get used to but you have your choice of QWERTY, just an abcdef... board, and a touch pad so you can just write the letters on the screen like it was paper. Def. not a business phone. But you get weather, news, live searching, sports, movie times, live tv... i just love it. I just bought this phone a few days ago and I love it.

If you want a spreadsheet, word processor, etc, get a different phone. This is not a business phone. This phone won’t have such things.
