Motorola V710
What's the point of having "Camera" or "Recent Calls" as "Voice Commands"?????
Ok - I can understand why several of the "voice commands" are extremely helpful - but others seem to be totally useless.
for instance... when I first saw "CAMERA" was a voice command - I thought "COOL!!!! you can your phone on speakerphone.... place it across the room- and then say out loud: "CAMERA" and take a picture of yourself (and hopefully your hot date) - almost like an "auto-timer"" But - NO .... you can't do that.
You can turn ON the camera... but then you have to hit the "Capture" button manually - right? so - what's the point?
Why would you turn on the camera with a voice command if you're not going to be able to use it remotely?
If it's to make things "easier" - that makes no sense - the camera can be turned on by pr...

See, what'd I'd like is that the bluetooth headset's action button take the picture, so, camera is somewhere, you've got the headset on and you push the button and say camera, then push the button again and *snap*, but no, it doesn't....
...
EXACTLY!!! I'm with you.
And what would be even better would be if a voice-command took the picture - so you wouldn't even need the bluetooth headset.
How could they have forgotten this if they made "Camera" an voice-command. Didn't somebody on the design team say "Hey - what the heck are we putting that in the menu for if they can't take picture without picking up the phone anyway"?
They confuse me.

It's a cool novelity I think but it will get old saying "camera" and having the camera pop up. Kinda futuristic but pointless I think.

Does anybody know how to "ask" the V710 to speak out the names in the contacts for the Voice Dial? The point is that I have a lot of foreign names in it (mainly italians), and I don't want to go on a "try-the-next-pronunciation" ride when I want to call somebody, of whom I don't know the "americanized" name. Besides, I'm not American myself, English is not my main language. Thanks guys.

if you go to the phone book - contacts - and scroll down the names you will hear the phone try to pronounce the names there -- maybe you can mispell the names to get a better sounding name

I thought something like that, but my phone doesn't pronounce anything, both with or without speaker on. Am I missing something? Any parameter buried in one of the menus?

turn key volume up.
🙄 Funny, really funny.
Now, how about some REAL advice?

OK, catstide.
I open my phone, go to contacts, highlight a name... and nothing happens.
The volume is 7/7: what am I missing?

did you turn up your key volume? if you did ,make sure your phonebook is on voice:settings/personalize/sound settings/phonebook/voice.

You must goto:
Menu->Settings->Personalize -> Sound Settings
and then select "Voice" for the "Phonebook" setting.
***** YOU MUST HAVE YOUR KEYPAD VOLUME TURNED UP. Not your ringervolume, and not your handset volume --- YOUR KEYPAD VOLUME.
this can be found in the Ringer Settings for whatever profile your phone is currnently using for it's ringer.
