Speakerphones, handsfrees and voice dialing/voice activation eliminate
the need to dial a number while you're driving, for the most part.

The only thing missing from most phones is "voice digit dial" which some
Verizon Avox phones used to have. I'd love to be able to say to my phone,
"dial 2-1-6-5-5-5-1-2-1-2" and have it dial. And I know you can do that
with Voice Gear, but you still have to dial *VG to get there first, and VG
sucks anyhow. The implementation is total crap.

Onstar's voice dialing system works wonderful like that, and even displays
the digits on your instrument panel for verification as you call them out.

Tens of thousands of dollars is too much money to pay for a voice digit
dialing, sorry...

Ah, but the REAL question is... "What are your monthly payments?"
