Has anybody noticed the following?

If you make a call using the conventional method of selecting the contact and telling the phone to dial the number, that contact's name and telephone number will be displayed on the phone information screen.

If you make a phone call using voice command, and tell voice command to dial that contact's phone number, the name that is displayed on the screen may not necessarily be the person that you have just dialed if you are dialing into a company that uses one main number and then extensions. Voice command will select the first person in your address book that matches the main number just dialed. If the person that you are attempting to dial is not the first one in your address book with this main number, then that person's name is not displayed.

While this does not seem like a big deal, if you use your phone to record call history, then that person's name does not even appear in your call history. Voice command should not attempt to discard the contacts information in favor of matching the main phone number to the first hit in the address book.

Yes, you are correct. Happens with Windows Mobile 2003 as well w/o Voice Dial. For example, if I have a number of contacts from the same company, and an incoming call is received, it will pick (sometimes at random) one contact name to log the incoming call from. It's a bit annoying, but I never gave it much thought.
