Hi, could u please reply and let me know:
1) Do U use voice control?
2) What's your magic word?
3) How does it work for U?
Thanks! Mine always seems to randomly call people throughotu the day which is really frustrating and forces me to turn it off even tho i read lots of reviews that say voice control is really good i have not been able to get it to work right. My magic word is "P800" and it still calls people even when no one says anything remotely close to that word.
Thanks!

Try simplyfying your magic word. Works like a charm for me and my boss |

Actually, Ericsson recommends a longer "magic word" something that sounds strange.
Anyway, I only use the magic word in the car... works fine. I have to re-records my contacts though... hehehe, I was too excited so the enviroment was kinda noisy.
From my experience with the R520 (which uses the same voice recognition technology) ... record all your voice commands/contacts in a very very quiet environment. As much as possible, about a foot or two AWAY from the phone... this way, the phone compensates for mild echos. I even used to record my commands at arms distance, so that when I'm in the car, I don't have to shout out the commands.
I did a couple of P800 voice commands at arms distance, my magic word "Communicator", and my Answer & Busy commands. Those work perfectly in the car... never mis-read any of my commands.
Just remember, record the initial commands in a quiet place... and not too close to the mic of the P800... recording too close will make the phone 'expect' you to be that close everytime.  |

Yeah it recognizes me perfectly when I want it to. it's just that it seems to call people when i DON'T want it to.

Never use it because for years i have used calling cards, the calling card options are fantastic on t68i/p800, but the phone asks for yes or no for each call, meaning vioce dialing would need to be followed by me touching the screen or pressing jog to confirm, so it rules out voice dialing. i don`t trust it either. |

c'MON no one else uses voice control?!?!?!?!?!?!
I guess it was a wasted feature if none of us trust it enough to use it.

A lot of us use it, but apparently don't have issues with it. |

I find that the Magic Word feature is a bit buggy and needs improvement. It would dial at times it shouldnt and vice versa. Therefore, I dont use it.

I reserve having to shout things at my phone for times when it has been naughty. |

My Magic Word is "Communicator". I don't enable my magic word when set as a handheld. Only when I use my handsfree, or when I'm in the car.
It drains way too much power during a normal day, and it's pointless to use while it's in your pocket or while having lunch... unless you just wanna show off. Hey, give it a break... even Star Trek guys need to tap their funny badge thing to call each other!
The Magic word for me, works well. I never had an accidental call. I used it ever since the R520 days.
BTW, the R520, T39, & T68 all had the magic word function...but only the R520 had a speakerphone w/ proximity sensor. |

They removed the proximity sensor on the P800... I'm glad they did.
To activate or deactivate the speakerphone on the P800, just open or close the flip accordingly.
Those of us who removed the flip... tough... we need to press the little virtual keypad button, or just use the jogdial to reduce volume. |
