There appears to be no demo.

Does it work on the Dash?

"...You waited and waited and whined and now it is here!..."
Hmm. The whining. I believe that was me.....I wanted it for the SDA really bad, but now for that much?? I don't think so.

Oh well, I just got the 8125, so I don't quite fit in here anymore. :-/ Fortunately that means the old vs of voice command will work for me, so no $$ :-)

Bye all, I'm being expelled from the SPT forums into the PPCT forums... so sad.

Note: This forum seems to be much more friendly than the other, there's more of a sense of community etc etc with Mike, Jerry, and many other regular posters. :-D

It looks as if Handango messed up. I just downloaded the trial and it says that it is version 1.5, not 1.6. It won't install on my 3125, saying that the software does not support this device.

I know it says on the handango site the SDA is compatible, but I really would like to hear from some SDA users as to how well it works and how much memory it eats up.
I'm not sure if one can get a refund after they purchase it.

I can get VC to display contacts and start programs when I'm not using Bluetooth, but nothing whatsoever on either of my headsets. Also, even when just using the phone itself, NOTHING that requires a voice response or prompt (e.g., asking for the time, next appointment OR DIALING) works. What a waste of $!

[Jerry Raia]

Yeah this is pretty bad. Nothing works over BT that I can see so far. I'm gathering maybe it only makes announcements on BT like reminders etc.

Will this work on my MPX220 (WM2003SE) or is it WM5 only?

Yes it works on the Dash with my Moto BT headset. I get all VC responses over my headset including incoming call announcements, incoming email announcements, reminders, etc. As usual the VC accepts my commands with no problem. Using this without a BT headset (why would you?) is not as cool as the Dash does not have a dedicated Record button and I'm not sure how to map the App1, App2 keys, etc. Use the BT headset.

Version 1.6 is new so the upgrade price of $9.99 ONLY applies to the PPC version, not the Smartphone edition, per Handango's email to me.
