Voice control has a mind of it's own
3Gs with the ear buds installed. Voice comand just comes and goes as it pleases when I'm listening to ipod function. REALLY annoying. What do you folks think? Ear bud problem? Is there a waty to shut voice command off?http://images.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/mad.gif

Speech Impediments...
Actually, Macs still do that, if you turn on the Speech Recognition. And it tells newer jokes, the old ones are gone. But they still stink.
I think it sucks that the iPhone can turn shuffle ON verbally, but not off. And if you tell it you want to listen to an album, it should assume that you want to hear it in order unless you specify shuffle.
I get most of the features to work via voice most of the time, sometimes it messes up and redials someone I already talked to. But it would be nice if you could choose the same voices the Mac uses in Leopard, this one is not nearly as clear as "Vicki" or "Alex." If the iPhone is running OS X, why not port the voice functions they already have? Seems stupid to me.

iPhone Voice... TIME?
Why can't i ask my iPhone 3G S what time it is?
IE:
me - **riding bike around, hold button on headphones for 3 seconds**.. "What time is it?"
iPhone - "It's 12:15 PM. Your next calendar item is in 15 minutes. You're never going to make it on that bike."
me - "thanks iBitch!" **ride faster**
iPhone - "Calling Mother"
me - "You win this one iPhone."
Maybe with the next Voice Command updates they'll add it.

BT problem?
I have no problem using the feature with bluetooth. I have a BlueAnt Q1 (turn of the Q1's voice controls) and when the button is pressed on the Q1 I can say my command. It will stream music from my ipod, Pandora, anything likely, keep in mind the battery life of the average headset.
I can also access the push button/voice control from my BlueParrott and it works just as well, but it will not stream music, the music will come out of the iPhone's speakers.
Thanks for updating me on more commands, I was just getting tired of argueing with my Q1, so now I just use push button commands and argue with my iPhone. It isn't perfect yet, but no and cancel are two of my most used commands.

Yes! Finally! It works like a charm! Thanks for the update Radioman!
I don't know if this was posted yet, but it is VERY useful. "The time of day." And the phone tells you what time it is.
