Just upgraded from original iPhone to 3gs. Nice upgrade. Was really looking forward to voice command. Works great over blue tooth. Recognition not very good. Wish I could tweak recognition with settings. Other than that awesome.

The best part of the 3GS is available on the 3G if you get the update. And its got to be copy & paste! Its brilliant. If I’m on the bus to school i can copy and paste some **** from wiki onto notes and then email it to myself and print it out at school! Sorted. The other features released at this time was stuff like “internet tethering”. Would be great if it was free. Why shouldnt it be? Im paying for unlimited internet about £45 a month on my iphone yet if i want to transfer the connection to my laptop it will cost me £30 a month ON TOP OF THAT (sorry i’m enjoying my rant here). Does anyone have internet tethering?is it more competative then mobile broadband or whatever the men on the train call it with the thing in the USB thingmigigy?

Right, I think my little rant should end now. Wait. Not really little. Big rant.

Dude, I am not sure it if support bluetooth or not but with a motorola it only support re-dail, so the question is if you have a stero bluetooth headset would it work.

with the wired headset that comes with the phone it works great. 95% and it not how good you are speak english it’s how good and clear and pronounce each sound. like andy and annie be sure to concentrate on the whatever. Also say call before name so it won’t try to pay a song that’s named andy…. when you like to play specific sound say play … don’t just speak a name. for other language I think you will have to switch you phone language as the default language. or spell our you contact fast and steady. like ABC, notice that I have a contact name zui long it will confirm by saying call z u i long? voice to call app? some is valid, like type out e-mail, note and other voice applicable program, but for webbrowsing you need your eye on it so voice it not … but it would be great if whenever you are ask to type something you can choose do to voice input.

I wish apple had one voice technologies product. The web site is onev.com. The voice recognition is sick.

Got an iPhone 3GS and I love it. It’s brilliant.

But the voice recognition is ****!

The worst thing is when you try to play a song and it ends up CALLING some random person from your Contacts. This alone makes the ‘feature’ completely unusable.

Voice Control sucks big time. Totally worthless. I speak perfect english, and it recognizes less than 5% of names I speak. Can’t teach it either. And what good is it if it doesn’t work with bluetooth headset. Totally worthless!

No bluetooth means iPhone 3GS isn’t anything special.

It is a horrible feature. My iphone gets about 5% of my commands correct. Normally it will play a random song, will tell me "no song match" when I have 100s of songs by the artist I requested or it will do something completely random like dial my ex (not sure why his number is still in my phone, but you can imagine me rushing to hit "end call").

Completely not worth it. A very poor design. And, yes, I am an English-speaker (native).
