For the original poster: It is not illegal to make a call while driving without handsfree dialing in California. It is illegal to be ON a call without handsfree. If you look up the law, they actually have provisions in there saying you can still dial but must talk handsfree. That said, the Voice Dial over BT that comes with 2.2 is really junk. I've had all kinds of problems with it in the car (and my 5 year old WinMo 5 phone could do this fine). Today I tried to call my wife twice (call Cherie Ham on cell) and both times it came up with "dial xxx-yyyy" (some random number that was not even in my contact list). I finally had to say, "dial aaa-bbb-cccc" (her number) instead of her name and it got it right. Anyway, best of luck on it when you get a headset that works with it, but don't expect it to work too well. I've read other places that there are much better voice dialers in the Market. Some of them even have CONFIRMATION before it dials a number.
