I've been messing with my WM5 Wizard the past few days and all it has is
Voice Speed Dial by cyberon but I know what you are talking about and that
setting seems to be the default for "Voice Command."

I would probably use Voice Command a lot more on my PPC that has it if it
didn't shove the programs it ran into the "Recent Programs" list. I wish
there was a way to remove that "Recent Programs" list all together. BTW I
use a program called "launcher" to run my apps since it doesn't clutter up
the "Recent Programs" list.

FYI my "Start" menu consist of Today, Recent Programs (greyed out), Programs
and Settings and that is the way I like to leave it especially since I
launch my favorite programs with one tap and the other programs with two
taps.

Oh yeah, I know there is a way to clear the "Recent Programs" list but I'll
only do that when I have something in that list.

I bought an FM modulator from Radio Shack a while back that I used until I
noticed it lost a lot of base response. So I decided to go back to the
cassette adapter and live with the tape hiss over the FM with the lack of
frequency response.

But I have seen one Bluetooth to FM modulator that had the same frequency
response as a direct connection but it didn't transmit FM in Stereo so I
returned it.

If the above link doesn't work just go to vzw.com and search for T505.
Again, the T505 sounded great until I pulled out sound clip that has near
total separation of left and right channels then I noticed there was no
stereo with the T505.

But, I'd be willing to try another FM Modulator since I've recently seen the
T505 has great frequency response but no Stereo. Got any ideas?

I know what you are talking about but I've had better luck with BT Stereo
than I had with that FM modulator I bought from Radio Shack a while back.

That tells me she has the very first version of the iPhone since that is the
only one that can't do A2DP after upgrading to OS 3.0.
