"I finally finished up my hobby project writing an extension that provides additional features to the Bluetooth Hands-free support in Windows Mobile. Beyond the phonebook sync and status indicators support I recently added support to enable using Bluetooth for voice dialing with Voice Command or OEM-provided voice dialers. It also allows you to have your custom ringtones ring through your Bluetooth device (if the device support that feature), and may improve caller ID support for Outlook contacts."

Jim, from JETware Mobile Software has been pretty busy lately with his JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones. Some of the new features in this version are include activating Microsoft Voice Command voice dialing over Bluetooth, using custom ringtones through your Bluetooth device and improved Caller ID! Now I should mention that all of these features listed are dependant on your phone. If you have a phone that does not support some of these features then they will not work. I've played around with it for a few minutes today and it looks promising. If this program sounds like it is up your alley then go try it out, it comes with a 30-day evaluation period Smile

This line on the site confuses me...

# New! Activate Microsoft Voice Command voice dialing over Bluetooth

The Microsoft Voice Command product isn't available for smartphone. So this feature must be fo PocketPC only.

OK I installed it on my 2125 with the new Cingular 2125 rom..
The Voice Dial function is greyed out...unavailable. BUMMER!

yea, the site is a little confusing. pretty much, those features listed will only work if they are supported features on your phone. anything that involves voice command will only work on a pocket pc for the moment, unless microsofts gives smartphone users voice command technology Smile
