LG VX1 has voice dialing

[Fish]

After reading many posts here about the VX1 and 510, I decided on the 510 mainly because of the voice dialing. A friend of mine bought a VX1 from RS through Sprint. I was talking to him last night on the land line about my voice dialing, and he started looking at his. He has voice dialing. We confirmed it. What gives?

For some odd reason....Verizon did not want LG to put the voice dialing on the VX1..probably to make more money and have people purchase the v60c and v60i. Mayve the vx10 will have it....

the vx1 and the vx10 will not have voice dialing.

It don't matter to me...I have the v60c and I never used the voice dialing. I am not to lazy to dial someone in speed dial.

i loved the voice dialing. its an awsome feature on my v60. i use it all the time.

Perhaps he has the TM520. That is identical to the VX1 except it has voice capability and is currently carried by the Canadian mobile company "Telus".

Verify he has a VX-1 and not a TM520. You can do this by removing the battery and looking at "Model No:". The VX-1 will say "VX1". Funny thing the FCC ID for the VX1 is "BEJTM520"!

Everything for the VX-1 is actually branded for the TM-520. The plastic carrying case (look at underneath the belt clip), etc.

So... what does your friends say under "Model No:"? If it says "VX1" I want to go to a Sprint store and get a firmware upgrade!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Assuming all this is true it would probably make my phone unusable on VZW! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Let us know when you find out!!

He's in the US, so I doubt it's a 520, but I will ask him to check.

The phone has 5250 as the model.

There is the reason! The Sprint 5250 is NOT the same as the VX-1 or the TM520. It is a completely different model of phone. That is why he has voice dialing. One noticable difference is the lack of the red LED shaped in a line across the front of the closed headset.

One interesting note though... The some accessories for the 5250 ARE compatible with the VX1 / TM520.
